00:00All right, Dave, sports, what do we got here?
00:02Well, we will start with basketball, where the Knicks dominated the Rockets last night, 137-115.
00:09It was a career high for the Knicks, Emmanuel, quickly.
00:11His IQ had 40 points and 9 assists in his start for the injured Jalen Brunson.
00:16Julius Randle added 26 points as the Knicks improved to 43-33, 10 games over .500,
00:23still in the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference with just six games in the regular season to go.
00:30Now, the 76ers lost to the Nuggets, 116-111.
00:34Sixers dropped to 49-26, still third in the East.
00:38The Nets were off.
00:39They next play on Wednesday.
00:40The Nets currently 40-35, tied record-wise with the Miami Heat for the sixth spot in the East.
00:50So that is important for the Nets.
00:52The top six teams in each conference avoid the play-in series.
00:57Hockey, the Devils were crushed by the Islanders, 5-1.
01:00The Rangers and Flyers were inactive.
01:02Tonight, the Rangers face the Blue Jackets in Madison Square Garden.
01:06The Flyers play the Canadiens in Philly.
01:08Baseball, spring training, the Yankees beat the Rays 8-4.
01:11Josh Donaldson had two hits in the game.
01:13Phillies got past the Blue Jays 5-2.
01:15Trey Turner picked up a couple hits.
01:17The Mets were off.
01:18They are done with spring training.
01:19The Yankees and Phillies play today, and then that's it.
01:22Opening day is Thursday.
01:24I love myself a little opening day.
01:27Play ball.
01:28Are we local, or are we on the road?
01:29Yes, the Yankees play the San Francisco Giants in Yankee Stadium on Thursday.
01:35Kind of a unique opener there.
01:37The Yankees don't usually open up against a National League West team.
01:43So it's interleague play to start the season?
01:45Has to happen at least for one matchup, because you have 15 teams in each league.
01:49So you always have to have at least one interleague play game.
01:53But not to start the season, right?
01:54Well, if you're going to have everyone playing, then somebody has to.
01:58Oh, right. I see what you're saying.
01:59Yeah.
01:59All the teams are playing on Thursday.
02:02So that's going to be exciting.
02:03Chilly.
02:04A little chilly?
02:05All right, that's fine.
02:06Sunny and 50, I think is what we're looking at.
02:07Oh, that's just fine.
02:09I remember when.
02:10When it snowed, that one year?
02:11Yeah, I was going to say, when Matsui hit the Grand Slam in the snow.
02:14Right.
02:15That was one of the coolest moments in Yankee history.
02:17Nutty.
02:17Finally, football, Giants owner John Mara said he would be in favor of bringing back
02:25Odell Beckham Jr. to the team.
02:27He believes that the door is not closed on Odell Beckham, is what he said.
02:33And he's going to be the next signing.
02:35Once the Jets get Aaron Rodgers, we're going to go get the guy with the big baseball gloves
02:41for hands.
02:42Jets GM Joe Douglas says there's no rush on the Aaron Rodgers deal with the Packers.
02:49I guess Green Bay now.
02:51It's their responsibility to get this thing done.
02:56The Jets are signing off.
02:57It sounds like Aaron Rodgers has signed off.
03:00But the Packers are not pulling the trigger.
03:02They're seeming to hold the Jets up, which is why I think it was a mistake that in the same
03:07press conference, Joe Douglas, the Jets GM, also said that they're not interested in Lamar
03:12Jackson.
03:13And I would think that they could have used interest in Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens
03:19MVP quarterback, as leverage to get this Packers deal done.
03:24This doesn't seem like just being a good general manager.
03:28Use that Lamar Jackson as leverage.
03:30He's already got an Aaron Rodgers deal done, so he's good to go.
03:34No, he doesn't.
03:35The deal is not done.
03:36It's done.
03:37It's signed.
03:37It's sealed.
03:38It's on the way.
03:39It's not.
03:40They're using the snail mail to get it here.
03:41The Packers are dragging their feet.
03:44We're ready to go.
03:44And the Jets, I'm saying to the Packers, screw you.
03:46Don't you rain on this parade there, Mr. Jet, Mr. Giants fan.
03:49There's no parade.
03:51There's a parade.
03:51Aaron Rodgers has not signed.
03:53The parade is going to happen?
03:55He, what if the guy doesn't sign?
03:58What if the Packers end up saying, you know what, we're screwed?
04:01Then it's the most Jets, Jets thing that could possibly happen.
04:05That's my point.
04:06When a team hasn't won in 50 years, maybe change it.
04:09Maybe be aggressive.
04:10Maybe it's time for the Jets to be like, hey, guess what?
04:13Lamar Jackson is out there.
04:15You don't give us Rodgers.
04:16In 10 days, we're going after Lamar Jackson.
04:19I bet you Green Bay, that'll light a fire under their ass.
04:22Hopefully, he's got it done already.
04:24Because if he doesn't, we've still got Zach Wilson we're going to march out there.
04:28And when that happens, we're all leaving the bus.
04:31Well, they don't have a deal.
04:32Apparently, the Packers are asking for more compensation.
04:36They want more draft picks and stuff from the Jets.
04:38We got this worked out, Mr. Giants fan.
04:41Don't worry about your Giants.
04:42You don't have the deal worked out.
04:45You're actually giving false info.
04:47I got a number 12 Jets jersey with Namath's 12.
04:53Scratched out already.
04:54Joe Namath is going to give him his beloved 12?
04:57He already said he would.
04:58Oh, my God.
04:59This is a done deal.
05:00If I'm a Jets fan, I don't even allow that to happen.
05:03It's done.
05:04How about you invert the numbers?
05:06He's 21.
05:06Scratch it out, and we're good to go.
05:09That is terrible.
05:10You can't do that to Broadway, Joe.
05:12Here's what we do.
05:13Are you ready?
05:13Just give us the Super Bowl trophy right now today.
05:17He hasn't even been traded yet.
05:20Let's get it done.
05:20I am reminding Jets fans, you have definitely gotten very excited, but I think that Rodgers
05:29does want to come, and I think the Jets want him to come.
05:32I think now the Packers are being annoying.
05:35Well, the Packers don't want the guy either.
05:38It'll happen.
05:38But they're holding you guys up for way too many draft picks.
05:41It's going to happen.
05:42Don't worry.
05:43Don't worry.
05:43I'd throw the Lamar Jackson threat.
05:46It's going to happen.
05:47Don't you worry.
05:48Poor Broadway.
05:49How about this?
05:49If you don't get Aaron Rodgers, you still put a number 12 on the field.
05:54Get your name at that in retirement.
05:56Probably be better than Zach Wilson.
05:59Broadway, Joe, you're in the game.
06:01You're 70 years old.
06:03Win some games, baby.
06:04Let's go.
06:05I bet you Broadway, Joe, could go 10 and 7 right now.
06:07He would do better than Zach.
