Dave, sports, what do we got?
00:02
Okay, we are going to start with baseball, where the Yankees got a nice July 4th win yesterday.
00:08
The Yankees beat the Orioles 8-4.
00:10
They made their return to Independence Day baseball.
00:13
They were off last year somehow.
00:15
That was weird.
00:15
Even though, yeah, I mean, so many famous...
00:17
Like this should be a law.
00:18
There has to be a law.
00:19
Right, there has to be a law that says...
00:20
Yankees on July 4th.
00:21
Every baseball team has to play on July 4th.
00:24
Especially the New York Yankees, though.
00:25
Luke Gehrig's famous speech, today I consider myself the luckiest man.
00:30
July 4th, Dave Rigetti pitched a no-hitter against the Red Sox on July 4th.
00:34
I feel like you did a top five of July 4th moments.
00:37
George Steinbrenner was born on July 4th.
00:40
See?
00:41
The Yankees have a tremendous history of July 4th baseball.
00:45
Let's go.
00:45
So, I think it was great.
00:47
And Gleyber Torres, he's been hitting.
00:50
He slugged his 13th home run of the season.
00:52
Jose Trevino added his fourth.
00:54
The Yankees moved to 10 games over .500, 48-38.
00:58
This series against the Orioles is pretty big.
01:00
Right now, the Baltimore Orioles are in second place in the AL East by just a couple games
01:05
in front of the Yanks.
01:06
So, if they can get these next two games here, then all of a sudden, the Yankees have a chance
01:11
to overtake Baltimore in the standings and be directly behind Tampa.
01:14
We like when that happens.
01:15
So, yeah.
01:16
Let's go.
01:16
Let's go.
01:17
The Yankees keep the positive momentum going right now.
01:19
Mets had a nice win as well yesterday on July 4th.
01:22
As the Mets defeated the Diamondbacks 8-5.
01:25
They were hitting the heck out of the ball.
01:27
Starling Marte, Brandon Nimmo, and Francisco Alvarez all hit home runs for the Mets in their
01:33
win.
01:33
They could use a little beef up, too.
01:36
Now that's three in a row for them.
01:37
Yep.
01:37
And the Mets improved to 39-46.
01:41
Now, the Phillies took down the Rays 3-1.
01:44
That's good news for the Yankees.
01:46
Excellent starting pitching from Phillies starter Aaron Noah.
01:48
He picked up the win.
01:50
And the Phillies now 45-39 for the season.
01:54
In basketball, the Knicks made a couple of deals over the weekend.
02:00
Number one, they agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract with free agent guard Dante
02:06
DiVincenzo.
02:08
What's interesting about this is DiVincenzo actually played on the Villanova National
02:15
Championship winning team with Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson and Knicks shooting guard
02:21
Josh Hart.
02:22
Sounds like a college reunion.
02:24
It's a Villanova reunion.
02:26
And I think if Tom Thibodeau gets off to a sluggish start as the head coach of the Knicks,
02:30
they should actually consider Jay Wright.
02:34
He's the Villanova coach who won two national championships.
02:37
Oh, there you go.
02:37
One of the best coaches in all of college basketball.
02:40
He recently retired.
02:42
Oh.
02:43
He's in the media now.
02:44
All right.
02:44
How about that?
02:45
Maybe Jay Wright is the coach of the Knicks.
02:47
Not a bad idea.
02:48
Football, Isaiah Rogers and Rashad Berry of the Indianapolis Colts and free agent Demetrius
02:55
Taylor suspended indefinitely through this entire upcoming season.
03:02
And perhaps even more for betting on NFL games last season.
03:07
You can't be doing that, man.
03:08
And this scandal is only going to get bigger as the NFL is saying that they're still investigating
03:15
a lot more players.
03:17
Players who went against the gambling policy.
03:20
If you're in the league and you're playing, you cannot bet on these games.
03:25
Period.
03:26
If there are any Jets players on that list, I'm going to be highly disappointed, but I'm
03:31
also not going to be very surprised.
03:33
Oh, man.
03:34
Can you imagine?
03:34
Farron Rogers was, you know, all over the gambling sites, the sports betting sites.
03:41
That would be such a Jets thing to have happen.
03:45
Unbelievable.
03:45
Finally, America's greatest athlete of all time, Joey Chestnut, continued his championship
03:53
ways yesterday.
03:54
Yes, sir.
03:55
By winning the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 16th time.
04:00
Wow, that's crazy.
04:02
Ate 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes while his record is 76.
04:07
There was a two-hour weather delay because of the rain and thunder and lightning.
04:12
Now, did he put ketchup or mustard on it?
04:15
He did not put any condiments on it.
04:18
That's a waste.
04:18
He takes two.
04:20
He shoves them in the mouth.
04:21
He puts the buns in the water so that it's not as dry.
04:24
Shoves those in the mouth.
04:25
That's his technique.
04:26
That's his technique right there.
04:27
But 16 championships, according to my calculations, ties him with Ric Flair and John Cena, who have
04:35
16 world championships as well.
04:37
So, if Joey Chestnut wins next year, 17, he's in a class of his own.
04:42
That's right.
04:43
Look out, Tom Brady.
04:44
Okay.
04:44
All right?
04:45
You got nothing against this guy.
04:47
Brady's got seven Super Bowls.
04:48
Chestnut's got him beaten by nine right now.
04:51
He's got 16.
04:52
That's right.
04:53
So, congratulations, Joey Chestnut, on winning another mustard belt.
04:57
That is...
