WDHA’s 2-Minute Drill With Breaking Tommy DeVito News
We have breaking news this morning on the Two-Minute Drill! It seems that Giants QB Tommy DeVito’s new marketing team has been working overtime to make sure all 15 minutes of fame are seized upon.
Plus Jim Monaghan and Chris Swendeman take a look at the local NBA and NHL teams as we close out the Two-Minute Drill for 2023.
JIM MONAGHAN – Friday morning means the Two-Minute Drill here at 105.5 WDHA on the Morning Jolt. Jim Monaghan along with Chris Swendeman. And Swendeman, we have breaking news this morning on the Two Minute Drill! Are you ready?
CHRIS SWENDEMAN – Oh, boy. Here we go.
JM – New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito has filed new trademarks for “Tommy Cutlets” and “Passing Paisano.”
CS – Oh, my goodness.
JM – The filings claim that DeVito plans to sell branded decals, clothing, pasta, pizza, tomato sauces – what about the whole sauce-gravy thing – and energy drinks.
CS – Do you think he tried to patent the Italian hand motion as well and just couldn’t get away with it?
JM – Certainly wouldn’t surprise me, I’m telling you. I wonder if that means we’re going to have to pay every time we say “Tommy Cutlets.” No, they wouldn’t do that, would they?
CS – I don’t know. I mean, you talk about squeezing every ounce of life out of your 15 minutes of fame. They might. I have no idea. At this point, anything is clearly possible.
Hey, I talked to Tommy’s agent, Sean Stellato, the other day. He wanted to know if I knew a good pizza place in Morristown. We’ll be here all week. Try the cutlets.
Knicks and Nets
JM – As we wrap things up this year. For the year, on the Two Minute Drill, in the NBA, you’ve got the Knicks and Nets about a third of the way through their respective seasons. Knicks doing pretty well, 16-11, and the Nets a game under .500 both clearly still playoff possibilities for both teams there.
CS – Oh, absolutely. Nets young up and coming, and Thibodeau has got the Knicks playing really strong. They’re a hard out. They’re not the easy out that the Knicks used to be.
Devils and Rangers
JM – In hockey. I’m a little disappointed by the Devils start. I know we’re, what, about a quarter of the way through the season? So far, the Rangers sitting at the top of the Metropolitan Division have been a very nice diversion for New York sports fans.
CS – Yeah. Because coming into the season, you really thought this was going to be kind of a flip flop where the Devils were going to be the ones up top after the strong finish last year with all the young talent they have, and the Rangers were going to be the ones kind of trying to find the middle ground and see where they’re at. But the Devils have been beset by injuries to start the season, you know, you never thought you’d talk about the Devils and say these words, that goaltending is just a problem for them right now.
JM – Absolutely. So as we wrap things up, Swendeman, thanks for all your input this year on the Two-Minute Drill. Looking forward to a great 2024.
CS – Absolutely, Jim. Enjoy that vacation next week.
