Good morning, gang! It’s Davey Mac here back with an epic Sports Report for ya! We’ve got some baseball hot stove, NBA, and NHL updates…but first!
It’s all about the football, baby! And that’s because the Big Game is set and it’ll be the Kansas City Vs. San Francisco in a rematch from 2020. Last night the San Fran beat Detroit in the Championship…34 to 31. The Niners’ Christian McCaffrey ran for 90 yards and two touchdowns. San Fran QB Brock Purdy threw for 267 yards, one touchdown, one interception…Purdy also ran for 48 yards. Tough loss for Detroit…Lions head coach Dan Campbell and company had a 17-point lead at one point but that was squandered. Campbell could have also kicked a couple of field goals but went for it on 4th down and was denied both times. Great season for the Lions still…but it’s the Niners on February 11th.

Meanwhile, earlier in the day in the AFC Championship…the Chiefs defeated the Ravens…17 to 10…as Patrick Mahomes made it to another game. Mahomes threw for 241 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Amazing…as Mahomes gets to his 4th game in years! So…it’s Chiefs Vs. the Niners in what should be a great game!

Basketball. The Knicks, Nets, and 76’ers were inactive. Tonight the Knicks take on the Hornets in Charlotte. The Knicks are on a 6-game win streak…the longest streak currently in the NBA. The Knicks are 29 and 17…currently 4th in the Eastern Conference.

Yankees Could Pursue Bellinger
Baseball. Rumor has it that the Yankees may be pursuing 2019 National League Most Valuable Player Cody Bellinger. Bellinger hit .307 with 26 home runs and 97 RBI last season with the Cubs. We’ll see if Brian Cashman can make it happen…after the Juan Soto deal…it’s been a pretty quiet offseason for Cash.
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – SEPTEMBER 23: Cody Bellinger #24 of the Chicago Cubs follows his RBI sacrifice fly in the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field on September 23, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.
