00:00Dave, sports, what do we got?
00:02Okay, let's start with hockey, where the Devils lost to the Stars last night, 4-1.
00:07Son of a...
00:08The loss drops the Devils to 21-6-2, but they're still in good shape.
00:13Two losses in a row, don't want to start...
00:14Pretty good record.
00:15Yeah, don't want to get in the habit of losing a lot, but still a great record in a great season thus far for the Devils.
00:20The Flyers fell to the Avalanche 3-2.
00:23The Rangers were off their next play on Thursday when they faced the Maple Leafs.
00:27Another hockey story, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin scored the 800th goal of his career last night,
00:35becoming the third player in NHL history behind Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe to reach that milestone.
00:40Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he do it when he scored a hat trick last night?
00:45Yeah, the Caps destroyed the Blackhawks 7-3, and he was scoring all kind of goals,
00:49so Ovechkin has had quite the career.
00:53He really has, and now that he's a Stanley Cup champion,
00:55I mean, the guy's one of the greatest of all time.
00:58The celebration that he had with his team when he won the Cup goes down in history.
01:05Fantastic.
01:0576ers beat the Kings last night, 123-103.
01:09Joel Embiid had 31 points, 7 rebounds for Philly.
01:12James Harden added 21 points, 15 assists, and 5 steals in the game as the Sixers improved to 15-12.
01:19Tonight, the Knicks take on the Bulls in Chicago.
01:22Julius Randle has averaged just over 22 points a game, also 8.7 rebounds in what is a very good comeback season for Julius.
01:32The Knicks are over .500 at 14-13, and they've won four in a row.
01:37So let's go New York Knicks.
01:38Oh, yeah.
01:39The Nets were inactive.
01:40They next play on Friday against the Raptors in Toronto, and the Nets are 17-12 this season.
01:46World Cup, Argentina headed to the World Cup Finals thanks to a 3-0 win over Croatia yesterday.
01:54Argentina has won its only World Cup back in 1986, but they finally get there,
01:59and Messi, their all-time superstar, is right there to finally see if he can actually get a World Cup victory.
02:06That would be huge.
02:07This is his last, right?
02:08This is his last World Cup.
02:10He's retiring after this?
02:11At least, yes.
02:11According to Messi, he is retiring, and the winner of France or Morocco, they play today.
02:19That's who Argentina will play in the finals.
02:22Boy, Morocco.
02:22Look at that run.
02:23Oh, my God.
02:24France won last time.
02:25So if France gets to the finals and wins, it would be back-to-back, which is very rare.
02:29Extremely rare.
02:30I believe they said it hasn't been done since Brazil did it in 58 and 62.
02:34So that's a huge deal for France.
02:36I think that was Pele.
02:37Oh, it definitely was Pele.
02:39Football, fantasy football players, be on the alert.
02:43Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals has a torn ACL, will have season-ending surgery.
02:50Yikes.
02:51What a nightmare season for the Cards.
02:53They were a playoff team last year, expected to do great.
02:57Kyler Murray's a phenomenal talent, but they're 4-9, and he's done for the season.
03:02It's been disastrous this year in Arizona.
03:06And finally, baseball, the New York Yankees still intensely pursuing left-handed ace Carlos Rodon.
03:12John Heyman of the New York Post is reporting that Rodon is looking for seven years.
03:17The Yankees want to stay within five or six years, but he's also reporting that Rodon
03:21prefers the Yankees over other teams.
03:24He's about, I believe they said 29 years old.
03:2729, seven years.
03:28Going down 30.
03:29And at this point, listen, you got Garrett Cole, you got Stanton, you got Judge.
03:34Which, it's a win-now team.
03:37Absolutely.
03:37So, I believe, listen, as Yankee fans, we're all just going to have to suck it up.
03:42In 2029, they might not be very good.
03:47Could be rough.
03:48But we all are desperate, right?
03:50Then again, maybe the fountain of youth will be invented and we'll be okay.
03:54I'm desperate.
03:55We're all desperate.
03:56The point is, you take that deal now.
03:59We need a championship now.
04:02So, if the Yankees are just an average team or a stinky team in 2029, no big deal.
04:07Let's go for it now.
04:08And I really think Carlos Rodon could be a great addition because he dominates the Houston
04:13Astros.
04:14Let me just say this.
04:15Right now, they're the same team they were.
