Good morning, Sports fans! It’s Davey Mac here with a huge Sports Report for ya! Updates on the NBA Cup! Football and hockey games in overtime! Yankee hot stove! And more! But first!
…Did you watch Monday Night Football last night? Because if you were checking out the ManningCast, you missed a rather unique appearance from Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Tua joined the show with his acoustic guitar…and then played Eric Clapton’s “Tears In Heaven” as Peyton actually sung along with commentary from the game. It was pretty fun. Check it out. And then…on to the Sports Report!
