00:00And Dave has quick sports.
00:02What do we got?
00:02Okay, we're going to start with the basketball where the Nets lost to the Kings last night.
00:06101-96 as the Nets dropped to 39-31, 6th in the Eastern Conference.
00:13The Knicks and 76ers were inactive this evening.
00:17The Nets, excuse me, the Sixers play the Hornets in Charlotte.
00:20They are 46-22, 3rd in the East.
00:23And the Knicks next play on Saturday when they take on the Nuggets in Madison Square Garden.
00:28The Knicks are 41-35 in the Eastern Conference.
00:32Hockey, the Devils lost to the Lightning 4-3.
00:36Meanwhile, the Rangers beat the Penguins 4-2.
00:39Chris Kreider had two goals for the Rangers in the win.
00:42Igor Shesterkin had 30 saves.
00:44The Flyers were off.
00:45They faced the Sabres tonight in Philly.
00:47Baseball, the Yanks lost to the Pirates in spring training 9-6.
00:51The Phillies crushed the Tigers 10-1.
00:53The Mets were shut out by the Nationals 3-0.
00:56Staying with the Mets for a second as Mets closer Edwin Diaz has torn his patellar tendon.
01:03What a break.
01:05Yeah, awful.
01:06Expected to miss the entire season after injuring his right knee while celebrating a victory in the World Baseball Classic.
01:13Didn't even matter.
01:15Like, come on.
01:15A lot of people.
01:17This is a very polarizing issue.
01:19There's a lot of people that are giving a lot of credit to Mike Trout, the superstar who is playing for Team USA.
01:25But then there's a lot of people saying, well, this is why I don't want my superstar in the WBC.
01:31I mean, that's going to affect the Mets all season long.
01:34Listen, I mean, listen.
01:35This guy had 32 saves.
01:37He was 32 for 35 last year with a 1.31 ERA.
01:41He made the All-Star team.
01:43He was ninth in Cy Young award voting.
01:45This guy was legitimately awesome.
01:48It's going to be hard to replace that.
01:50That is just a huge blow to the Mets.
01:52But, yeah, they got to adjust.
01:54Football, the Giants signed wide receiver Paris Campbell, formerly of the Colts, and re-signed receiver Darius Slayton yesterday.
02:02And, meanwhile, this just in guts.
02:05Aaron Rodgers has officially signed with the Jets.
02:08All right.
02:09That is what Jets fans are waiting to hear.
02:12Oh, come.
02:12You know, I am not falling for this anymore, Dave.
02:15That's nuh-uh.
02:16Not going to fall for it.
02:17Right.
02:18That is the statement that Gats and Jets fans are waiting to hear.
02:21It is what we're waiting to hear.
02:22With regards to Aaron Rodgers.
02:24Here's, apparently, the Packers are looking for a first-round pick this year.
02:27No problem.
02:28Give it.
02:28Go ahead.
02:29Give another round pick for next year.
02:32Why not?
02:32And then maybe another round, another pick for next year.
02:36No problem.
02:36If Aaron Rodgers decides to play, they want another pick.
02:39And then, finally, college basketball.
02:40Well, biggest upset in March Madness yesterday in the men's college basketball tournament.
02:45It was No. 15, Princeton.
02:47Shocking.
02:48No. 2, Arizona.
02:4959 to 55.
02:51Wow.
02:51Local, huh?
02:52Just across the state.
02:53I was just thinking about the fact that second year in a row, Jersey has made the biggest
02:58imprint on March Madness.
03:00Yeah.
03:00Who was it last year?
03:01Who was it last year?
03:02St. Peter's out of Jersey City.
03:04Yeah.
03:04Had that miracle run where they not only won in the first round.
03:08They kept winning.
03:08What did they make?
03:09The Elite Eight?
03:10Something crazy.
03:11Yeah.
03:11We were all rooting for it.
03:12We were like, yeah, really far.
03:13So, who does Princeton see in the next round?
03:16Missouri, I believe.
03:18In the round of 32.
03:19That's crazy.
03:20Truly amazing how good New Jersey is.
03:23I mean, we got to take home the title one of these days.
03:25And, you know, Rutgers should have been in this tournament.
03:28They got screwed.
03:29That's crazy cool, man.
03:30But, yeah, good for the Princeton Tigers.
03:33The Jersey Ivy League school getting it done.
