00:00So, Dave, sports, what do we got today?
00:02Okay, well, let's start with basketball, where the 76ers took down the Pacers in a crazy shootout.
00:08Listen to this score.
00:09Sixers won 47, Pacers won 43.
00:13Not a lot of defense, huh?
00:14No, I think there was almost zilch.
00:17That used to be an all-star game score, and now the all-star game is like 190 to 188.
00:24That's crazy.
00:24And regular season NBA games are 147 to 143.
00:28It's absolutely insane how the offense—
00:30I mean, could you try to steal the ball every now and then?
00:32Well, I mean, I am not exaggerating.
00:34If Michael Jordan, who had to play in an era where you were allowed to clutch and grab defensively,
00:39and who averaged 31 points for his career, if Michael Jordan played in today's era,
00:45he would average 45 points a game.
00:46I'm telling you.
00:47Yeah, it's a good point.
00:48It's a good point.
00:48That's just two buckets per quarter.
00:50So, that's not an exaggeration.
00:52Anyway, Embiid, Joel Embiid, unbelievable.
00:55Another MVP candidate, season 42 points.
00:58Tyrese Maxey added 24 in the Philly—in the Sixer victory.
01:02The Knicks and Nets were off.
01:04Tonight, all three local NBA teams are in action as the Knicks go for 10 wins in a row.
01:11They take on the Hornets in Madison Square Garden.
01:14The Knicks are 39-27 thanks to their amazing win streak.
01:18Fifth in the Eastern Conference.
01:19It's just a game and a half behind the Cavs for the fourth spot.
01:23It has been an amazing year for the Knicks.
01:26The Nets go against the Rockets in Houston.
01:28They are 4-6 in their last 10 games.
01:31And the Sixers play the T-Wolves in Minnesota.
01:34Staying with basketball for a second NBA superstar of the Memphis Grizzlies,
01:39Ja Morant is under police investigation over a video where he flashed a gun on Instagram.
01:46He was at a club.
01:48He was at a strip club.
01:50And he flashed a gun.
01:52But he was on Instagram when he flashed it?
01:54It was his own account.
01:56Why would he post a picture of himself?
01:58That's what everyone's wondering.
01:59Why?
02:00Get yourself in trouble, dude.
02:01He's been suspended by the team indefinitely.
02:04He did issue an apology.
02:07This is becoming an issue because this guy is a superstar.
02:10He is an up-and-coming megastar in the league.
02:13The Knicks going to sign him soon?
02:14No, no, no, no.
02:15It's a Dolan move.
02:17He's had some weird issues now.
02:19One where he was at a party.
02:22He's getting sued by a teenager.
02:24He was at a party, the teenager's party, and he played a game of pickup.
02:28And the teenager said he got mad and punched the teenager in the face.
02:31Oh, yeah.
02:32I heard about that.
02:33He's now getting these issues here.
02:36I mean, this Ja Morant's got to keep it together.
02:37Hockey, Devils, Rangers, and Flyers were all inactive yesterday.
02:41Tonight, the Devils face the Maple Leafs at the Prudential Center.
02:45Flyers go against the Lightning in Tampa.
02:47The Rangers are off.
02:48MLB spring training.
02:49The Yanks beat the Pirates 92.
02:51Aaron Judge hit his first home run of the spring.
02:55Phillies fell to the Orioles 10-7.
02:57The Mets were off.
02:58They play the Astros today.
02:59And then, finally, football.
03:01Today, a big day for the Giants.
03:04There's a chance that they could get a deal done with either Saquon Barkley or Daniel Jones.
03:09Or they could sign only one and franchise tag the other.
03:12Or this might be a situation where they're being forced to choose.
03:17Who do we want on our team going forward?
03:19They may have to choose Daniel Jones or Saquon.
03:22Why would today be a day?
03:24It's a deadline for the franchise tag.
03:26Oh.
03:26So, if they can sign one, they can possibly put the franchise tag.
03:31The organizations are allowed to put that franchise on you to keep you for a season.
03:35You would get less money.
03:37And that's why, guys, that's why players don't like the franchise tag.
03:41Because you make less cash.
03:42They're only getting paid for that one season.
03:44And they want the big multi-year payout.
03:46Right.
03:46So, that's why that pisses them off.
03:48But, you know, what can you do?
03:50Meanwhile, in the Jets side of things, get excited.
03:54Trey Wingo, ESPN, an NFL source, is saying the Jets are talking to Aaron Rodgers as we speak.
04:07And that Rodgers is open to the idea of playing in New York.
04:11Well, that's interesting.
04:13I like that.
04:15Because yesterday, Carr signed with the Saints, right?
04:18Right.
04:19So, all of our eggs are in that Aaron Rodgers basket.
04:22Derek Carr is now a New Orleans Saint.
04:25And here's the thing.
04:25How many draft picks are we going to have to send to Green Bay?
04:29I don't know.
04:30Right?
04:30But this guy, Wingo, tweeted this at 1 a.m.
04:35So, to me, that says, hey, where there's smoke, there's fire here.
04:39He's getting this thing out quickly.
04:41Let's go.
04:41So, Jets fans, you might get excited here.
04:44You might be looking at Aaron Rodgers next season.
04:46Now it's getting real.
04:47That would make us a playoff contender easily.
04:49No doubt.
04:50Easily.
04:50No doubt.
04:51Right?
04:52And if the Giants...
04:52You get Breeze Hall back healthy.
04:54I'll tell you what, if the Giants lose, either Daniel Jones or Saquon, then I think the Jets
05:00are the better team.
05:01I think it's that big of a deal.
05:03It would be a big deal, yeah.
05:04To lose one of those guys.
05:06And I also think, obviously, it's going to be a big deal if Rodgers goes to the Jets.
05:09Hell yeah.
05:10Oh, my God.
05:11Let's go.
05:11So, that's your quick look at sports.
05:14All right.
05:14Let's hope that thought is a thing by the time we crack mics tomorrow morning.
