Good morning, Sports fans! It’s Davey Mac here with another action-packed Sports Report for ya! Baseball and basketball! Hockey and football! But first!
…Did any of you watch the Super Bowl trophy ceremony? FOX Sports’ Terry Bradshaw (for some reason) hosted members of the Chiefs after their win over the Eagles.
But, Bradshaw is getting a lot of heat online after introducing Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. Bradshaw told Reid to “waddle over here” and “have a cheeseburger on us.” Ouch.
Terry Bradshaw to Andy Reid:

"Big guy... let me get the big guy in here. Come on, waddle over here."

Can you imagine just winning your second Super Bowl in a game for the ages and having to deal with that cackling idiot Terry Bradshaw call out your weight?! What the?! You probably just stamped your place into the Football Hall Of Fame with this victory and you gotta deal with Terry “Don Rickles” Bradshaw?! DAMN!

Thankfully for Terry…Andy Reid seems like a class act. He took it in stride and remained jubilant after his Super Bowl victory. Hey, first of all…Andy looks great. No judgement over here. Secondly, shut up, Terry.

If I was Andy Reid…I would have looked at Terry Bradshaw and said: “Hey, Terry. Ease up on the weight jokes. A.) I just won the Super Bowl. And B.) You’re almost as big as me, Terry. Look in the mirror, pal.”

Honestly! Terry Bradshaw ain’t exactly the svelte Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback that he was in the ’70’s! This guy looks like he’s been eating just fine himself! The whole thing reminded me of when Tony Soprano suggest to Bobby Bacala that he switch to salads! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my Sports two cents!
Knicks Take Down Nets
The Knicks dominated the Nets last night…124 to 106. Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson had a monster game with 40 points and 5 assists. Julius Randle added 18 points and 10 rebounds. The Knicks have won five of their last seven games and, at 32 and 27, are just a half game behind Miami for the sixth spot in the East. The Nets drop to 33 and 24…still fifth in the East.

Yanks' Cortes To Miss WBC
Yankee All Star pitcher Nestor Cortes will miss next month’s World Baseball Classic (he was going to pitch for the U.S.) because of a strained right hamstring but hasn’t ruled out being ready for the start of the regular season. Cortes was 12-4 last year with a 2.44 ERA in 28 starts.

The Super Bowl, which was broadcast on FOX, grabbed 113 million viewers. That makes it the most-watched Super Bowl in six years, since 2017’s Patriots vs. Falcons matchup (which also aired on FOX). The audience rose to 118.7M viewers for Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, which is the most-watched halftime show since Katy Perry in 2015 and second most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance ever.
