00:00Dave, sports, what's going on?
00:02Okay, we're going to start with baseball, where the Yankees beat the Angels in extra innings, 3-2.
00:08Aaron Judge slugged his sixth home run of the year, and Gleyber Torres knocked in the game-winning run
00:13with a sack fly in the bottom of the 10th.
00:16The Yankees improved to 11-7.
00:19The Mets defeated the Dodgers, despite some controversy.
00:24Mets 5, Dodgers 3.
00:25Mets starter, big-time pitcher, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer was ejected in the fourth inning
00:32for having a foreign substance on his glove.
00:35Scherzer maintained that it was rosin.
00:38Even after the game, he, quote, swore on his kids, close quote, that it was only rosin,
00:43and he was not cheating.
00:45Rosin and sweat, huh?
00:46He faces an automatic 10-game suspension, though he may appeal that ruling.
00:53I'm sure he will.
00:54Kind of thing in his history?
00:55Has this happened before with him?
00:57No, and this seems to be going on now.
01:00They're really, really strict on the checking of the gloves right now,
01:03but we have seen some pitchers say that, listen, if my hand, my pitching hand,
01:09is full of rosin, which is legal, I'm going to be touching my glove every so once in a while.
01:14And he was saying that it was, that's what, the guy was saying it's sticky,
01:19saying it's the rosin from my hand, because you do touch your glove.
01:22How do you not?
01:23You know, so it's a weird thing.
01:26He went eighth, you know what, like he went bonkers and made me think that maybe he was
01:32telling the truth.
01:33The Phillies took down the White Sox 5-2.
01:36Trey Turner and Brandon Marsh each homered in the game.
01:39Basketball, NBA playoffs, Grizzlies beat the Lakers 103-93.
01:43Bucs torched the heat 138-122, and Nuggets dominated the T-Wolves 122-113.
01:49Tonight, we've got two local teams as the Nets and 76ers square off for their game three at the Barclays Center.
01:58The Sixers lead the Nets two games to none in that series as Philly has looked very impressive.
02:03The Knicks resume their playoff series against the Cavaliers tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden.
02:09It should be a raucous crowd.
02:11The Garden Friday night, a big-time playoff game with the New York Knicks, who are a better team than they were two years ago.
02:19And the place was, you know, it was off the rails two years ago.
02:21You should have the Knicks to bring it tomorrow night at home, huh?
02:23Yeah, they have to, have to win that game.
02:26Hockey, game two between the Devils and Rangers is tonight at the Prudential Center.
02:31The Rangers lead game one, lead one game to none, excuse me, after an impressive five-to-win victory on Tuesday.
02:39The Devils look so soft in that whole game.
02:42It was terrible.
02:43Hopefully, the Devils come out a little bit stronger.
02:45Other NHL playoff scores from last night.
02:48Hurricanes beat the Islanders 4-3.
02:49Panthers dominated the Bruins 6-3.
02:52The Stars crushed the Wilds 7-3.
02:54The Oilers got past the Kings 4-2.
02:57Football, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua, Tygo Violoa, says he considered retirement after his multiple concussions last season.
03:06That one which was really bad that landed him in a hospital where he lost control of his fingers.
03:11That was so scary.
03:12Deeply disturbing.
03:14Tua is still just 25.
03:15He says he's going to play this year.
03:17He says he's ready to go.
03:18He's ready to compete.
03:20But you got to wonder about his health.
03:22It's really scary.
03:23And now with him saying he's coming back, and the guy from Buffalo getting cleared again.
03:28Damar Hamlin.
03:29Yeah.
03:29The guy almost died and had a heart attack because of the hit.
03:32Cardiac arrest.
03:34Why do I feel like I'm less concerned about the Hamlin character than I am with Tua with the fingers?
03:42It's both.
03:43Your heart and head.
03:45Crazy, right?
03:47I don't know.
03:48What are we talking about?
03:48Yeah.
03:49And then speaking of QBs, the NFL draft is a week from today.
03:53Still wondering about when the Jets will get a deal done with the Packers to acquire Aaron Rodgers.
03:58We have reported before the Packers are holding up the Jets for draft picks.
04:03I mean, you would think it would be this week, right?
04:05Well, that's why.
04:05And obviously, the Jets are going to have to figure out, you know, do they want to maybe part ways with a first-round pick this year?
04:14Right.
04:15Right.
04:15And maybe they weren't, you know, maybe that wasn't the plan initially, that they were going to give the Packers a ton of picks, but it was going to start next season.
04:23Right.
04:23Because you want all in on Aaron Rodgers this year.
04:26I mean, really, the longer the Packers take, the more they can get from the Jets, right?
04:32Yeah.
04:33Yeah.
04:34I mean, at some point, this thing will swing back into the Packers' leverage side.
04:38I still think that the Jets have some leverage, and I still am very, very just puzzled as to why they nor anyone in the NFL has reached out to Lamar Jackson,
04:50who was the NFL MVP just two years ago and is 25 years old.
04:55Maybe they're waiting.
04:57Maybe they're waiting to see Aaron.
04:58But I tell you what, I understand plumbers have just shown up to MetLife, and they're undoing every kitchen sink to throw into the deal to head out to Green Bay.
05:09I mean, they're going to need it.
05:09Whatever it's going to take, let's get that done first.
05:12I know.
05:13I mean, just give the Packers what they want at this point.
05:16At this point, listen, first-round draft picks are important, I understand, but you know what?
05:21If you can get Aaron Rodgers this year, I guess you part ways.
05:24I mean, what do you do?
05:25You're going to stick with Zach Wilson?
05:26No!
05:27What?
05:28What?
