00:00Speaking of sports, yes, sir, Eastside Dave has quick sports.

00:05What do we got, man?

00:06Well, we're going to start with football, where it was a weird game for the Giants yesterday.

00:09They tied with the Washington Commanders 20-20.

00:14How do we fix the football tie?

00:17How do we fix that?

00:18Do a field goal kickoff.

00:20Something, right?

00:21Flip a coin.

00:21I don't know.

00:22Something.

00:23Just let's get a winner.

00:24They don't want to do, you know, multiple overtimes due to injury, and I can understand

00:27that, but you could do the field goal.

00:30But honestly, I love how they do it in college.

00:33So in college, they start it at the team gets it on the other team's 25-yard line.

00:40So you're right away in field goal range.

00:42Right, right, right.

00:43And you both get the ball.

00:45It's like baseball.

00:46You're each going to get an inning.

00:47And whoever scores more.

00:48That's it.

00:49And so if one team gets a field goal at the top of the inning, you know, the overtime,

00:54and the other team gets a touchdown, they win.

00:57Nice and simple.

00:57If they kick a field goal, then you keep it going.

01:00I think in college it works.

01:02But nevertheless, Giants, they're now 7-4-1.

01:06They had opportunities to win this game.

01:08They were up 20-13 late.

01:11It was 4th and 4, and they look like they had the Washington quarterback, Heineke, dead

01:17to rights.

01:18He was scrambling.

01:19He just kind of chucked one up, and they completed that pass for a first down.

01:23Washington, I should say.

01:24And as a result, Washington went down the field, tied it at 20-20.

01:28Even in overtime, the Giants had chances.

01:30They stopped Washington.

01:31But Darius Slayton dropped a bomb that Daniel Jones threw.

01:36That was about a 60-yard pass.

01:38And it was a very catchable ball.

01:42That dude's got a cannon for an arm, man.

01:44Well, I'll say this.

01:46Daniel Jones has played well.

01:48And the big Achilles heel now for the Giants is officially their wide-receiving core.

01:54Their entire crew.

01:55They don't have one good playmaker.

01:58That guy that is special that changes the game.

02:02They don't have one of them.

02:03That's something they've got to find.

02:04Yeah, they've got to find that.

02:05Odell Beckham Jr.

02:06They seem to be protecting them more, too, right?

02:08Yeah.

02:10Listen, like I said, Daniel Jones has actually played pretty well this year.

02:14Jets, meanwhile, they lost to the Vikings 27-22.

02:18They looked like they were coming back at the end.

02:20Mike White, Jet QB, had a 4th and 10 completion for about 30 yards, and he got down there.

02:27That was about 3 1⁄2 left in the game.

02:29Did you see the play before he made that completion?

02:32He got pasted.

02:34Crushed.

02:35He got crushed.

02:36Now, he did throw two picks.

02:37We also threw for 369 yards and also got the endorsement yet again from his teammates after the game.

02:44After the game, despite the loss, Jets teammates were saying,

02:48we would do anything for Mike White that the man is special is the word that they were throwing around.

02:52I think he earned the right to get another start.

02:55This is it for Zach Wilson.

02:57But I don't know if I would put him in 100%.

02:59I would put him in 100% just for the rest of the year.

03:03Yeah.

03:04It's too ugly between the Jets players and Zach Wilson.

03:09They clearly don't like Zach Wilson.

03:10Hang on.

03:10He had a lot of passes that were just beyond catchable.

03:14Just beyond the mark.

03:16Well, that happens.

03:17He had Wilson going down, I guess, the right side of the field, and he led him by two steps.

03:24Yeah, but you're not understanding –

03:26Had that ball been on target, that would have been a touchdown.

03:29Right.

03:29But we're going to take Mike White out of the scenario.

03:31Zach Wilson is poisonous to these teammates.

03:33Zach Wilson would not have made that throw either.

03:36That's for sure.

03:36But I'm just talking about the teammates.

03:38The teammates are literally wearing Mike White's shirts, and they're saying he's special.

03:42That is absolutely a whole other problem.

03:44But they clearly don't like Zach Wilson.

03:46At the same time, though, the coach has to make the call.

03:50Yeah.

03:50So, I don't know.

03:51I just think that if your QB has lost the team, forget about it, and why not actually

03:56see if you're the Jets right now, right now, could we deal Zach Wilson?

04:02Could we get something for Zach Wilson?

04:03I don't think you're going to get much for Zach Wilson.

04:05I don't see Zach Wilson –

04:06He wasn't even suited up.

04:07What are we going to get for him?

04:08A parking lot of –

04:09He's not hurt, though.

04:11You know, I'm just saying.

04:12No, but he's completely lost his mojo.

04:14You know, just try it, because I don't see a future with him as the quarterback of

04:19the Jets moving forward.

04:20I mean, I don't either, but at the same time, after what I saw yesterday, I'm not sure Mike

04:25White is either.

04:26Oh, man.

04:26The guy threw for 369 yards.

04:28What about that fourth and 10?

04:30I mean, come on.

04:30It was huge.

04:31It was great.

04:31I was shouting in my kitchen.

04:34It was fantastic.

04:35And he has the love of his teammates.

04:37Which is great.

04:38Which is fantastic.

04:40All right.

04:41All right.

04:41I'm just talking about the year.

04:42Five field goals.

04:43I'm not saying Mike White is the next quarterback for the next 15 years.

04:47I'm saying right here, right now.

04:49The Jets are going for a playoff spot.

04:51You say Mike White has done enough in a win and in a loss, because he still has the love

04:56and the support of his teammates.

04:57Zach Wilson is poison.

04:59Let's get a playmaker on the Jets and trade Zach Wilson.

05:01That's what I'd be doing.

05:02I don't know about that.

05:03The Eagles crushed the Titans.

05:05We got the Bills next week.

05:06That's right.

05:06Their defense is just as good, if not better, than the Vikings.

05:09Agreed.

05:10So, deal Zach Wilson and get a defensive player or a good wide receiver.

05:14I don't know.

05:14The Eagles crushed the Titans 35-10.

05:17Philly QB Jalen Hurts continues his MVP season.

05:21Shoulder not, man.

05:22380 yards, 3 touchdowns.

05:23Don't you guys play the Eagles next week?

05:25The Giants do play the Eagles, and then they play Washington again.

05:30So, it's a lot of NFC East rivalries for the Giants in the next few weeks.

05:34Basketball.

05:35The Knicks took down the Cavs 92-81.

05:38Great game for Jalen Brunson, 23 points in the victory.

05:42The Nets lost to the Celtics 103-92.

05:46The 76ers were off.

05:47They play the Rockets this evening in Houston.

05:49Hockey.

05:50The Devils-Rangers Flyers all off yesterday.

05:53Tonight, the Rangers face the Blues in Madison Square Garden.

05:56The Flyers go against the Avalanche in Philly.

05:59The Devils play tomorrow when they take on the Blackhawks.

06:02Baseball.

06:02The Mets have lost Jacob deGrom as the Cy Young winner is headed to the Texas Rangers

06:07after signing a big deal with Texas.

06:11Five years, $185 million.

06:13And this one was a little bit surprising.

06:15Apparently, deGrom actually initiated the talks with the Rangers.

06:19They themselves were surprised.

06:21That's crazy.

06:21That Jacob deGrom was contacting that.

06:23I mean, I guess he never just didn't want to be in New York anymore.

06:26I guess not.

06:27No word yet.

06:27I think that's a great contract for a Texas fan.

06:30No, maybe not.

06:30No word yet on Aaron Judge.

06:32And whether he'll sign with the Yankees or the San Francisco Giants, it seems like

06:37those are the two teams that Judge will sign.

06:39Everything I have is crossed right now.

06:41I mean, if Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman screw this up and they let Aaron Judge walk,

06:48it'll be the biggest PR disaster in the history of the New York Yankees.

06:51Question about it.

06:52Period.

06:53Hey, man, you can win the...

06:55Are we good?

06:55Well, I want to say the U.S. is out of the World Cup.

06:58Oh, yeah.

06:59After losing Saturday to the Netherlands 3-1, it was 2-1 and they had a little mojo.

07:05But as soon as they got that goal, their first goal, Netherlands went back up by two

07:11with a goal and that was it.

07:12But it was a good showing for the Americans.

07:14It was all right.

07:15And the United States will host the World Cup in 2026.

07:18You want to see a U.S. soccer team win a game in the World Cup, you've got to watch

07:22the U.S. women.

07:23You've got to watch the U.S. soccer team win a game in the World Cup.
