Hola! It’s Davey Mac here and we have the final Sports Report of the week for ya! But first…good news regarding Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin!
Hamlin (who suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday during the Bills – Bengals game) is awake and communicating by writing things down. He’s still on a ventilator, but his rep says he has shown, quote, “remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours.”

He even asked who won Monday’s game. And the doctors told him, quote, “You won the game of life.” Wow…I mean…truly inspiring.

So, it looks like Damar is going to be OK. Thank God. He seems to be a loved team-mate and good person. More than happy that it appears he’ll pull through.

In other news…the NFL announced that the Bills and Bengals will NOT replay the game. Both teams are already in the playoffs, so that won’t be affected. Officials are meeting today to figure out seeding and other issues. But the MOST IMPORTANT thing is Damar seems to be OK! YES!

Yankees Hire Former Mets GM As Another Advisor
Another very interesting move from the Yankees as the Yanks have announced the hire of former Mets General Manager Omay Minaya as current GM Brian Cashman needs to officially watch his back! The Yankees just hired the highly-successful former GM of the Giants, Brian Sabean, to join the team…and now Minaya. Omar was the GM of the Mets from 2004 through 2010 and was known for drafting Jacob deGrom and others who helped the team reach the World Series in 2015. Omar’s title will be senior adviser of baseball operations. It’s like the Yankees have created a Game Of Thrones situation for the general manager’s job and I’m loving it!
