The New York Giants upset the Minnesota Vikings 31-24 in the Wild Card round of the 2023 NFL playoffs and will advance to play the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional round.

This was the Giants’ first playoff victory since they won the 2011 Super Bowl, ending a drought of more than 10 years.

The Vikings were 11-0 in one-score games during the regular season. The Giants were 8-3-1 in such games. Thus, no surprise  that the teams were tied 24-24 with 12:34 to play.

The Giants got a 2-yard touchdown run by Saquon Barkley to take a 31-24 lead with 7:47 to play. They sealed the victory when Xavier McKinney tackled Minnesota’s T.J. Hockenson short of the first down on a desperation fourth-and-8 with 1:44 to play and the Vikings out of timeouts.

QB Daniel Jones was nothing short of brilliant in his first career playoff game, finishing 24 of 35 for 301 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also was the Giants’ leading rusher with 78 yards on 17 carries. Saquon Barkley was explosive, racking up 109 total yards and two touchdowns despite getting just nine carries.

The Rangers needed a goal. They got one with less than a moment to spare — and then added another.

K’Andre Miller’s snap shot from the top of the circle beat Stars goalie Jake Oettinger with just 0.9 seconds left in regulation to send the Rangers to overtime. Just 1:16 of game time later, in the 3-on-3 extra session, Adam Fox deftly potted a backhander past Oettinger amid chaos in front of the Dallas goal, sealing a stunning 2-1 victory for the Blueshirts at The Garden on Thursday night.

Oettinger held the Rangers at bay for 59 minutes and 59 seconds, turning away 29 shots, almost making Tyler Seguin’s power play tally at 17:53 of the first period stand.

Instead, blueliners Miller and Fox played the heroes, adding a win to Igor Shesterkin’s ledger as the goalie made 24 saves.

Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens hasn’t played meaningful snaps for a professional team since 2010.  

However, his agent Gregory Daniel, said the He’s in contact with the Cowboys and other NFL teams about an Owens return.

Owens would become the oldest person to ever play in the NFL if he returned. The wideout just turned 49. Former quarterback and placekicker George Blanda holds the age record at 48 years. 

“Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,” Daniel said. “He’s in outstanding shape. He looks no different than he did years ago. I watched him running routes full-speed with DeSean Jackson and he looked great. He didn’t drop a pass.” 

“He most recently ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, which was his warm-up. He’s a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anybody can do it, it’s him.”

Ever wonder what the Bugatti Chiron could top out at if it wasn’t speed limited to 261 mph? Turns out, it’s just north of 300 miles per hour, making Bugatti the first manufacturer to break the 300-mile-an-hour barrier!

Bugatti recently took a “near production prototype” Chiron to the vast Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany, where factory test driver Andy Wallace reached a top speed of 304.773 mph, with the time certified by the German TÜV organization.

The Chiron used was modified with an additional safety cell, aerodynamic changes and higher seventh-gear ratios. It also used a slightly more powerful version of the regular Chiron’s quad-turbocharged W-16 engine, turned up to produce 1600HP. In addition, specially constructed Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires were mounted on the car.

Amazingly, if it hadn’t been for running out of road on the test-track, the Chiron could even have gone slightly quicker, as the speed hadn’t leveled out yet, it was still climbing.

Congrats to Bugatti for earning a place in history as the first to exceed 300 miles per hour!

He’s called “Money” for a reason.

WWE is looking towards the future with its biggest event of the year, WrestleMania 39, on April 1 and 2, 2023, in Los Angeles, CA, with the tagline, ‘WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.’

Without a single match announced, WWE has sold nearly 100,000 tickets for the show. SoFi Stadium has a maximum capacity of over 100,000 seats, but the stage set and other production areas will take up some of those seats. 

The venue is currently configured for 51,146 fans for each night of Mania. According to WrestleTix, which tracks ticket data, the show is nearly sold out. 

WWE is looking to load up WrestleMania 39. They want to bring in celebrities and several top names. Steve Austin is reportedly open to listening to offers for WrestleMania 39 following his successful return at WrestleMania 38. WWE is still hoping to have The Rock come in for a match with Roman Reigns.

Charlotte Flair won the Women’s title on WWE Friday Night SmackDown.

After Ronda Rousey defeated Raquel Rodriguez to retain the SmackDown Women’s Championship, Charlotte walked out to the ring with new music and a new look. 

Charlotte then challenged Rousey for the title and Rousey accepted, despite the objections from Shayna Baszler. Rousey took a boot to the face and then Rousey kicked out of the pin attempt.

Flair then hit the spear and she pinned Rousey to win the title. Then she went into the crowd to celebrate her 14th title win in WWE.

Pete Rose is famous for a few things, but there’s one thing that has made him infamous. Pete has a lifetime ban from baseball for gambling on games he was managing in.

Now Pete has launched a new gambling podcast.

“I know how it looks, and people will criticize,” Rose said, via USA Today. “But it’s not gambling. It’s handicapping. I’m a handicapper.”

Pete Rose, of course, received a lifetime ban back in 1989 after an investigation determined that he bet on games, including with the Cincinnati Reds while he was the manager.

Rose’s podcast, “Pete Rose’s Daily Picks” will drop new episodes six days a week.

I guess Pete Rose has finally realized he’s never getting into the Hall of Fame, so why not try to get a piece of the gambling pie.

A stretch of Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn will be co-named for celebrated author and former NY Post columnist Pete Hamill.

A block-long stretch of Seventh Avenue in front of Hamill’s childhood home — from 11th to 12th streets — will be dubbed “Pete Hamill Way” to celebrate the tabloid legend whose writings as a newspaper columnist and novelist defined New York City to the nation for five decades.

Hamill passed away at the age of 85 and was one of only two people to have served as editor-in-chief of both The New York Post and The New York Daily News.

The Jets will honor three cornerstones of their team from the late 2000s and early 2010s this season. 

The team announced Thursday that it would induct former cornerback Darrelle Revis, center Nick Mangold and left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson into its Ring of Honor during three separate halftime ceremonies this year. 

Mangold was the first to be honored, getting inducted at halftime of the Sept. 25 game against the Bengals at MetLife Stadium.

The trio were extremely popular players and key members of the teams that went to back-to-back AFC Championship games in 2009 and 2010. They will be the first players inducted into the Ring of Honor by the Jets since 2017 when Hall of Fame center Kevin Mawae was honored.
