00:00Dave, what's up in quick sports, man?

00:01Okay, basketball, we're going to start with that.

00:04The Knicks played pretty well against Milwaukee last night,

00:08but they just couldn't beat Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucs.

00:12Final score, Bucs 109, Knicks 103.

00:15It was a tight game back and forth throughout,

00:17but eventually the Bucs made the shots at the end to win the game.

00:21Giannis had 37 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists,

00:25as the Knicks dropped to 10-12.

00:27The Bucs improved to 15-5.

00:30One personal observation is that the Knicks are beating the teams

00:34they're supposed to beat this year, and that is a good thing.

00:37But if they want to get to that next level,

00:42they have to win some of these games against the elite of the East.

00:45I hear what you're saying.

00:46The Milwaukee Bucs are an elite Eastern Conference team.

00:50Giannis is an amazing player.

00:52They won the championship a couple years ago,

00:54and the Knicks were right there throughout the whole game,

00:57but they can't get over the hump and win the game.

00:59They've got to close out in the fourth quarter against the elite teams.

01:03That's a good point, man.

01:03If they do that, I'd still like the Knicks' chances to make the playoffs this year.

01:09Meanwhile, the Nets looked good.

01:11They defeated the Wizards 113-107.

01:13Brooklyn's Kevin Durant, 39 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists in the win,

01:17as the Nets are now 12-11.

01:20The 76ers lost to the Cavs, 113-85.

01:23Joel Embiid had 19 points, but that was not enough to prevent the Sixers from losing the game.

01:29They are now 12-10.

01:32Hockey.

01:32The Rangers beat the Senators 3-1.

01:34Chris Crider had a goal in the Ranger victory.

01:38He continues to play well.

01:39The Devils and Flyers were off.

01:41This evening, the Devils face the Predators at the Prudential Center,

01:44and the Flyers play the Lightning in Philly.

01:48Baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays bringing in Don Mattingly as a bench coach.

01:53Oh, that's fun.

01:54Donnie, of course, was a star with the Yankees,

01:56and previously managed the Dodgers and then the Marlins,

01:59where he won the National League Manager of the Year.

02:02Surprised that if he's available, the Yankees wouldn't consider him for a bench coach.

02:05I agree totally with that.

02:08That's like a homecoming.

02:09That's like a feel-good for us fans.

02:11And also, Joe Torre would always speak highly of his bench coach, who was Don Zimmer.

02:16Yeah.

02:17And that is kind of like his right-hand man.

02:19That's where you get some opinions and you get some ideas from.

02:22So you could have had a former Manager of the Year sitting next to Boone,

02:26but I guess they didn't want to go that route.

02:29Football.

02:30Maybe Boone's not staying.

02:33No, they just re-signed him.

02:34And Hal Steinbrenner said in the offseason, the one person who's definitely safe is Aaron Boone.

02:41He's coming back for a few more years.

02:43Football, weird story here.

02:45The Washington Post published a photo of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in 1957 at age 14,

02:53where he's in Little Rock, Arkansas, and there were black students trying to enter a school,

02:58and there are white students preventing black students from entering the school.

03:02Jerry Jones is in the photo.

03:04He's kind of in the back, but he is there, and he's having to answer these questions.

03:11Jerry Jones says he was just curious to see what was going on,

03:14was not participating in blocking anyone from entering the school.

03:17But kind of an interesting story.

03:20Weird place to show up.

03:21You also start to think, like, you know, you go back, you know, when the guy's 14, you know, is that, I mean, he's now 80.

03:31Yeah, I mean.

03:31You'd like to hope, what I'm saying is that he's grown.

03:34Learned through whatever was going on back then.

03:37Yeah.

03:37Like a lot of white people made some big mistakes back then.

03:41Yeah.

03:41And hopefully they've grown through that.

03:43Yeah, and how did the Washington Post find this photo of a 1957 14-year-old Jerry Jones?

03:49People are trying to find everything on everybody these days.

03:51That's amazing to me.

03:53Tonight kicks off week 13 of the NFL season.

03:56We've got the 8-3 Bills taking on the 6-5 Patriots in New England.

04:02If I may just say this, this will be the one game in which I'm okay with the Patriots cheating like the son of a bitch as we know they are.

04:13Yeah, it's in the Jets' best interest.

04:14Break out every cheat you possibly can to beat the Bills, okay?

04:18It's in the Jets' best interest for Buffalo to lose.

04:22And because they are right there, especially with the new king of New York, Mike White, as your quarterback.

04:29Everybody is thick of it.

04:30Broadway Mike.

04:30What? You don't believe in Broadway Mike?

04:33I do.

04:34I mean, I loved that game.

04:36It was one game against the Bears.

04:38I watched the whole game.

04:39Whose defense was falling apart.

04:41It was great.

04:41It was wonderful.

04:42But let's not overstate this.

04:45They competed.

04:46The Bears competed.

04:48Listen, all they said about Mike White is just do what Zach Wilson can't do, which is hit open screen passes.

04:55That was a good start.

04:56And open 10-yard passes.

04:58We're not asking the Jets' QB to throw the ball down the field 60 yards in the fly.

05:03But remember last year when Mike White came in and he had the best first NFL game of anyone in the history of the game?

05:12Yeah, over 400 yards.

05:12And then the next game he spit the bit?

05:15Yeah, I do.

05:16So I'm just saying, let's see how this plays out and not anoint him.

05:20What did you say?

05:21The king of New York?

05:22King of New York, a.k.a.

05:24Broadway Mike White.

05:25Right.

05:25Because I actually, and I'm a Giants fan, but here's the deal.

05:28The Giants played on Thanksgiving.

05:30I knew that they were going to lose.

05:31They got it.

05:32So as a result, 1 o'clock on Sunday was free.

05:35Yeah.

05:35And so I always go to my mom's to watch football at 1 o'clock.

05:38So we ended up watching the Jets game from the beginning to the end.

05:41So exciting.

05:42And honestly, it reminds me of when I was a Giants fan in 1990.

05:47And they didn't bench Phil Simms, but he got hurt.

05:51And they brought in Jeff Hostetler.

05:53And Bill Parcells told Hostetler, just make 10-yard passes down the field.

05:58Hit your screen passes.

06:00It's third and five, and you can take off for a first down.

06:03Scramble a little bit.

06:04Just don't make mistakes, dummy.

06:06And that's what happened.

06:07And guess what happened?

06:07The Giants won the Super Bowl.

06:09Maybe Mike White could do that.

06:10We've got a shot at something.

06:13Let's see what he does against the Vikings.

06:15Well, you heard it from Carl Crafty.

06:17The Jets are Super Bowl bound.

06:19That's a Carl Craft guarantee that Mike White will be in the big game.

06:23I don't think.

06:25Did I put that in there?

06:26Okay.

06:27We're going to the Super Bowl.

06:29Why not?

06:30Take that.

06:31That's it.

06:31That's the belief I'm looking for.

06:33That's your quick look at your score.

06:35I'm a Jets fan.

06:35We never make claims like that.

06:38We ever, never, ever, never.

06:40You've got to get that second Super Bowl.

06:42It's starting to get ridiculous.

06:43It is.

06:44It's crazy.
