00:00Okay, let's start with basketball, where the Denver Nuggets took down the Miami Heat
00:04in Game 3 of the NBA Finals last night, 109-94.
00:10And listen to these numbers from Denver superstar Nikola Jokic.
00:15The Joker had 32 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 blocks.
00:22So a bad game, you're saying.
00:24Triple-double.
00:25Didn't show up at all.
00:26Yeah, a triple-double with—and listen to this.
00:30Wilt Chamberlain.
00:31So once you get into a company like this, you know you're good.
00:34Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are the only players to get 30 points and 20 rebounds
00:40in a triple-double performance in the playoffs.
00:44They did it once.
00:46Joker has done it three times this postseason.
00:49They did it once in their entire careers.
00:51Wow, that's crazy.
00:53Can he be a Knick?
00:55I am praying to the Lord.
00:58I mean, if Denver ever let this guy go, then shut down the franchise.
01:03You're right.
01:03When you start talking Wilt Chamberlain numbers—
01:05It's ridiculous.
01:06He is 7 feet tall.
01:08He doesn't look like he has mobility.
01:12He kind of moves very choppy.
01:14He's big.
01:15He's kind of gangly.
01:17And yet, everything he shoots goes in.
01:19And it's not just that.
01:20He's a great passer for his teammates.
01:22He's a great defender.
01:23Defender, he's a great—it's crazy.
01:25Cool, man.
01:26Well, he's one win a game.
01:27One win away from a—
01:28Well, two wins.
01:29Two wins.
01:29The Nuggets are now up two to one.
01:31Oh, two to one.
01:31Sorry.
01:32I thought they were up three.
01:34And give credit to his teammate.
01:35Jamal Murray was excellent, too.
01:36He also had a triple assist.
01:38It's the first time in NBA Finals history that two teammates had a triple-double in the same game
01:44and both had 30 points.
01:45So, really, unbelievable.
01:47The Nuggets now lead the series yet, as we said.
01:48Two games to one.
01:50Game four is Sunday.
01:52Baseball, the Yankees game against the White Sox, called off yesterday due to the terrible air quality.
01:57That made a lot of sense.
01:58They were showing Yankee Stadium on the news.
02:00It looked like Mars.
02:02It looked like it was on Mars.
02:04People online were comparing pictures of the surface of Mars with New York City,
02:08and it was like, yeah, I don't see much of a difference.
02:10Exactly the same.
02:12Maybe this climate change thing is actually true, huh?
02:15I don't know.
02:16Now we have to cancel sporting events.
02:17Lakewood Blue Claws canceled their game because they didn't want their players choking.
02:21You can't have it.
02:22The Yankees and White Sox are scheduled for a doubleheader for today.
02:27That ain't going to happen.
02:28Game one at 4 o'clock and game two at 7.30.
02:31I mean, is the air quality going to get better by 4?
02:34It depends on the winds, and the winds aren't supposed to be changing until at least tomorrow.
02:38Yeah, I don't think.
02:39I think it's just better just to call it all off and stay indoors today, it seems like.
02:44Meanwhile, the Mets lost to the Braves 7-5.
02:47Phillies' game against Tigers also postponed due to the weather, and that game has been rescheduled for this evening at 6 o'clock.
02:54But again, we'll see what happens if these games will be played today at all.
02:58Hockey, the Stanley Cup Finals resumed tonight between the Golden Knights and the Panthers.
03:03Game three.
03:04Right now, Las Vegas leads Florida two games to none.
03:08Football, the NFL looking into reports that Colts cornerback Isaiah Rogers was gambling on NFL games on sports betting apps.
03:16This is a problem that the NFL is suddenly having is multiple guys in the leagues have been pinched now for betting on NFL games on sports betting apps.
03:25You can't have that.
03:25That's what they, you know, busted Pete Rose for, for crying out loud.
03:28And then finally, golfing, golf star Rory McIlroy spoke to reporters yesterday following the shocking news that the PGA and Liv golf tours have merged.
03:37McIlroy said, quote, I still hate Liv like I hate Liv.
03:42I hope it goes away.
03:44He also says he feels like a sacrificial lamb and lied to by PGA Commissioner Jay Monaghan.
03:51And says Monaghan went, basically made a unilateral decision and went behind the players' backs to do this.
03:57I can't watch golf any less, so it's not up to me.
04:03It's up to the golf watching public and the participation public to get into some sort of boycott.
04:09It's all in the money.
04:11It's awful.
04:12The sponsors leave the PGA live combo.
04:15Then they'll do something about it.
04:17But until the money walks, it's just going to be in your face, America.
04:21What I would say is if I was these clubs, you know, like how would you feel if you were the Masters or in Scotland, you have that St. Andrews, these legendary golf clubs.
04:32And, like, how would they feel as well?
04:34Like, you know, this guy, this commissioner, Jay Monaghan, apparently just made this decision by himself.
04:39And now all these people are getting thrown under the bus.
04:42And you're right.
04:43Even golf fans who wanted to support the PGA and not support Liv, they had no choice.
04:49Well, now they got to walk.
04:51It's all about the money.
04:52It's really bad.
04:53So McElroy, he says he's going to, like, he was a little wishy-washy.
05:00He kind of said, like, I'll try to give it a go.
05:02But at the end of the day, the message was I hate Liv and I hate our golfing commissioner, Jay Monaghan, for making this decision.
05:10So he is pissed.
05:11That's your quick look at sports.
05:12It's the rat.
05:13News of the day in a little bit.
05:16Bum, bum.
