Jim Forbes, Giants, Greg Joseph discussed on Bloomberg Businessweek
Automatic TRANSCRIPT
Point every fire truck in Buffalo had gotten stuck, as well as at least 9 ambulances. I'm Jim Forbes. Now this Bloomberg sports update, it was kind of a mixed bag for the Giants on Christmas Eve. They went toe to toe with the Vikings on the field in Minnesota on Saturday in the end though, the Vikings made the big play late. How about a 61 yard field goal as time expired. A career best kick from Greg Joseph and that's enough to sink the G men final score 27 to 24. The Giants would have secured their playoff birth if they had won instead they needed some help and they got it on Saturday because Kansas City beats Seattle Carolina beat the Lions, the commanders lost to San Francisco. So all things considered it's actually pretty okay for the Giants as they stand pat in the NST playoff race they'll host Indianapolis on New Year's Day. The big showdown game on Christmas Eve was in Dallas. The cowboys end up beating the eagles 40 to 34 and that is a big win for the cowboys. They still have an opportunity to win the NFC east, but they trail the eagles still by two games. How about the commanders? We talked about them. They lost in San Francisco 37 to 20 San Francisco has rolled off 8 straight wins. The commanders are winless in their last three games. Jay glazer of Fox Sports says the jets are preparing to move on from quarterback Zach Wilson once they get to the off season. There's basketball at MSG on Christmas Day for the Knicks. They'll tip it noon against the Philadelphia 76ers. The NHL is on break until Tuesday. The rangers and the islanders will both play at home that night. That's your Bloomberg sports update. I'm Dan gotta ski. This is a Bloomberg Monday minute. All right, everyone. Check your wallet. Because you probably have an unused gift card in it. And it turns out companies are actually profiting from your generosity. There's actually a financial term for unspent gift cards or loyalty program money. It's called breakage. That's Bloomberg's Tim stenbeck, and he said some big well-known chains are actually making some big money from all the cash you, me, and just about everyone else in the country have sitting deposited in those unused gift cards. Starbucks claimed $181 million in revenue from breakage in fiscal 2021. That's up from about $145 million. The previous year. The
