Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the Daily Play with Joy Taylor. Thanks so much for joining me. Make sure you hit subscribe and follow us on the Daily Play at Daily Play Joy Taylor. So the New York football giants might be storing some respect to the name. They're about to face off with Washington tonight in New York. They tried apparently to make a trade with Atlanta for B. John Robinson. So they are obviously not completely out of the conversation. Like I talked about on yesterday's trade deadline show, I love a team doing everything they can to win. They traded for J.J. McCarthy after Jackson Dark got injured. J.J. is since two and one since taking over. Now he has a questionable status this week with a hip injury. They also made an offer on Jonathan Taylor. Listen, that division is an absolute disaster. So I think anyone in that division making big moves should be lauded because it is anyone's division at this point. And that's what happens when you bring in an established winner like John Harbaugh. Now, They didn't make any moves at the deadline because they had already made their move. And according to Harbaugh's philosophy, he said, I'd be excited for the right guy. My excitement level will be based on who the player is. There's players you love and players you like, and I would want a player that we love. Now, he has brought an AFC North sensibility to the team. He wants to run the ball, be physical. The Giants are currently the three seed in the NFC. If the playoffs started right now, which... it is laughable because the NFC and the NFC East particularly are incredibly unserious. They brought in Isaiah Likely from Baltimore too, and he has six touchdowns. He's tied for third most in the league. Personally, as a personal note, he has done very well for my fantasy team. But in general, the NFC East is... They're not a... a division that I'm taking very seriously in the league, despite the fact that they might be in the pole position to win it. I like teams being aggressive, as I've said, but I don't think that the team that is going to come out of the NFC for the Super Bowl is going to be in the NFC East. So the Warriors were very, very, very back. And then they weren't. They had won eight straight entering Wednesday night's matchup with the Rockets. So... Steph and KD about to be a version of Tatum and Brown for the unks and aunties. But in the first quarter, Steph left with an abdomen injury. Even without Steph, Golden State kept it closed for most of the game. Marcus Smart threw a punch and got ejected in the Rockets win. So not the type of spicy that I was talking about, but still spicy. So the window is not completely closed for the Warriors. As we saw tonight, the margins are very thin. Hopefully this injury is very short term. Jimmy Butler is slated to return in January or February. Last week's Kristaps Brzingis step away from basketball thing and guard Brandon Williams doing a hammy. The whole situation is very touch and go, but there's got to be something in the water for the Warriors because they are starting to look as beat up as the 49ers, even though they were going on a very, very convincing run. There's been a little drama with Steph Curry, with all the conversation about Aisha this week, which I talked about on Too Personal, which is also on Urban Woman Podcast. If you would like to tune in and hear what I had to say about that, obviously has nothing to do with what they are doing on the court, but it's probably going to be an up and down year for the dubs and, uh, for warriors fans. And they're going to have to get used to that. As far as the rockets, Fred Van Vliet brings a little balance to this group, uh, that they lacked without him to injury last year. And, uh, overall, I think they're doing very well. Nine and three are the rockets and they host Utah on Friday. So finally, former NFL players, uh, Coaching college football is another great part of the NIL era. The North Carolina State Board of Trustees is expected to finalize a contract Friday, making Phillip Rivers his alma mater's new head football coach. Rivers played quarterback at NC State from 2000 to 2003. He's currently in his sixth season as St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama. Have not been, do not know. But he built the program from ground up and they have been to the state semifinals in 2024 and 2025. He wanted to finish out the high school season, which ended on Friday, which is a very Philip Rivers thing to do. I think this is great. I love to see former NFL guys, especially with big names and Hall of Fame careers, go give back to the children. This is something my brother did. And we have seen a lot of head coaching examples of this. Obviously, Deion Sanders, Mike Vick, Eddie George, Deshaun Jackson, Jason Witten. I think this is a great situation and something to be very proud of and very personally, very vested in. Phillip Rivers is an all-time trash talker, as am I. So I love saying this.
