Good morning, my fellow Sports appreciators! It’s your ambassador of athletics Davey Mac and we’ve got a big Sports Report for ya this morning! Overtime win for the Devils! Knicks get much-needed victory! Will Mahomes play on Sunday? And more! But first!
Aaron Judge re-signed with the Yankees a few weeks ago and was named Yankee Captain as well. Thank God! Well, now we’re hearing from Judge that it was Anthony Rizzo who got Number 99 back to the Bronx!

Only The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Judge revealed that Rizzo texted Judge every single day…tugging at his heart strings. But that’s not all! Apparently Rizzo’s dog Kevin gets along with Judge’s pup Penny…and Rizzo appealed to Judge by bringing up the love between their dogs! Check out the pic below (Kevin is on the left…Penny is on the right).

Hey, you gotta love this friendship between Judge and Rizzo…and especially between Penny and Kevin! Unlike Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman…the DOGS the deal done! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents!

The Knicks played much better defensively and Julius Randle had a big game…Julius had 36 points and 13 rebounds as he hit a career high 8 three-pointers in the contest. The Knicks improve to 26 and 23 for the season (7th in the Eastern Conference).
