Rob Gronkowski Would Maybe Play For…The New York Giants
Good morning, Sports fans! We’re back with another exciting Sports Report for ya! The Knicks sue the Raptors! Yankees promote youth! Track star returns! And more! But first…
…as reported right here on WRAT.com by Michael Cohen…future Hall Of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski says he plans on staying retired…but…IF he were to come out of retirement…the one team he’d like to play for is the New York Giants!
Of course…Gronk and Tom Brady combined for one of the most lethal duos in NFL history as teammates on the New England Patriots and then Tampa Bay Buccaneers where they won Super Bowls with each franchise.

And the reason Gronk gave as to why he would like to be a Giant? Head Coach Brian Daboll. Gronk says he’s a big fan of Daboll’s. Man…can you imagine if this were to happen? The Giants already signed Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller…if Gronk joined him…with Saquon Barkley in the backfield…the Giants would be DANGEROUS! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents! Now on to the Scoreboard!

Let’s start with baseball. Where the Mets crushed the Braves…10 to 4. Francisco Lindor hit his 23rd home run of the season…as the Mets improve to 59 and 67.

The Yankees were mercifully off yesterday…thank God…because I can’t stand watching them anymore. Tonight the Yanks take on the Washington Nationals in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees come into the game at 60 and 64 and in last place in the A.L. East.
The Yankees announced they will promote a pair of top prospects this week, outfielder Everson Pereira and infielder Oswald Peraza. Since being promoted to Triple-A, Pereira has slashed .312/.386/.551 with eight homers and 33 RBIs over 35 games. Peraza, 23, is hitting .268 with 14 homers and 36 RBIs in 63 games at Triple-A

Basketball. The New York Knicks sued the Toronto Raptors yesterday…alleging that members of the Raptors organization stole private Knicks info when he was employed by them and turned it over to Toronto. The Knicks allege that Ikechukwu Azotam, who worked for the Knicks from 2020 to 2023, sent the Raptors all kinds of secret documents and now they’re going to court.

11 Items to Make The Giants Fan In Your Life Say “Go Big Blue”
New York Giants Concealment Case
Not only is this item unique in the fact that you could hang it in your entryway, garage, or even man cave, but it’s a great item to keep all your essentials in one place. It has a sliding door to protect all your items and is an attractive-looking decoration for any Giants fan.
New York Giants New Era Throwback Long Sleeve Hoodie
I love everything about this long sleeve hoodie. Aside from the royal blue making the Giants logo pop, it has a drawstring hood to cover your head on the colder days and is perfect for both men and women.
NFL Hooded Face Cover
I know it seems a bit extreme but if you’ve braved the cold weather like I have a handful of times you’ve probably already added this to your cart. A hooded face cover is the perfect gift for any Giants fan in your life because it could possibly be the one thing that saves the day. It’s also a great item to pack when you plan a vacation for an away game this season.
Steel Tailgater BBQ Set
If this doesn’t scream football and New York Giants, I don’t know what does. If you’re heading to the stadium to grill some hotdogs and hamburgers this tailgater BBQ set is a must. It includes 8 pieces of heavy-duty stainless-steel tools. Your grill master will be thrilled and your stomach will thank you for it.
Wood NFL Cornhole Set
When the sun is still shining, and the warm temperatures are still here you might want to consider throwing a party at your home to kick off the season. This cornhole set is perfect for any backyard and yes of course on those tailgating days too. If you’re looking for some friendly competition this is the perfect purchase for you.
Ziploc Slider Storage Bags
You might be thinking why would I need these storage bags? Hear me out. It’s never a bad idea to pack Ziploc bags with you. These storage bags have the Giants logo right on them and are a decent size. I personally would even use them to bring some cash and perhaps my lip gloss into the stadium (depending on if you’re abiding by the clear bag policy).
NFL Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
A wireless speaker is a must during football season. While you can always play music at your tailgate or house party, you can also air the pre-game show in support of the New York Giants. Not only is it portable and lightweight but it’s the perfect outdoor speaker that has over a 30-foot range.
New York Giants Sweatshirt
Now, who doesn’t love a good ole classic hoodie? We selected this as a New York Giants Must Have because it not only looks comfortable but also is available in several colors such as black, royal blue, and sports gray.
NFL Women’s Soft Fleece Hoodie
No matter what the occasion is it’s always a good choice to have a soft fleece hooded sweatshirt in your closet. It can get chilly during football season but it’s also a nice item to have when you want to lounge around as well. This hoodie in particular has a classic look to it but most importantly showcases the Giants logo front and center.
New York Giants Pint Glasses
In my opinion, there’s no talking you out of purchasing a pint glass in general but especially if it’s customized with the New York Giants logo. You can use them at home or bring them to your tailgate. Plus, you can use it all year round whether your team is playing or not.
