Video Transcript

ALEX RODRIGUEZ: Hey, serious talk here. I would do anything right now for a Yankee-Red Sox game, sold out crowd.

JARED QUAY: Hey, serious talk here. A-Rod would do anything to watch a Yankee-Sox game. But what would he do to stop the spread of COVID-19? Sure, he was talking real big about working from the home office a couple of days ago, but maybe that was just an April Fool's joke. Because here he is just yesterday sneaking into a closed gym in Miami with Jennifer Lopez.

- Not good.

JARED QUAY: Come on A-Lo. You're worth almost a billion dollars. Y'all can't afford a Peloton or a mirror or some [BLEEP]. You spent all that money on that really expensive coffee mug, huh?

Meanwhile, on the left side of Florida, Tom Brady found his new crib. It's a seven bedroom, nine bathroom, beachfront mansion. And if you think that's fancy, his landlord is a captain.

- Captain?

JARED QUAY: Yep. TB12 and the fam are gonna be renting out St. Jetersburg from Marlins owner, Derek Jeter. And I'm just trying to picture Jeter stopping by on the first looking for his rent check and leaving one of them famous gift baskets on his porch. Actually, I don't think Tom Brady's gonna pay rent. I wouldn't charge Tom Brady rent.

And Jeter wasn't the only player turned owner in the news yesterday. Lamelo Ball is doing it backwards. First, he skipped college to go straight to the pros. Now, he's about to get drafted, but he already owns a team.

The future first-round pick and his manager bought a team in the Australian Basketball League and I know what you're thinking.

- Why?

JARED QUAY: No idea. Though Deangelo probably should call for a workout. But enough about bad teams, because we gotta talk about some good ones. We want your help in deciding the best of the best of the best. You see, I added an extra best there.

Yahoo Sports is picking the greatest teams of all time and we need you to vote. That's right, you. Even though you're sitting on your and your couch and you're biased as hell. We're down to the final four, so vote by Saturday at noon eastern, 9:00 western, and decide which team is the goat of goats.

One thing we don't need brackets to decide-- the biggest mistake in March Madness history. We all know what it was, and this Sunday, it happened exactly 27 years ago. You've seen it 100 times before, but you haven't seen it like this.

- The date was April 5th, 1993. Michigan's Fab Five hoped to live up to their own hype, taking on underdogs, North Carolina, in the title game. Down 2 points with 19 seconds to play. Michigan's Chris Webber rebounded a missed UNC free throw and sprinted down the court, with hopes of heroics on the horizon.

- Oh, that's a nasty double team. Ref, time out! Give me a time out!

- You're out of timeouts! That's a technical foul. Free throws and the ball to North Carolina.

- What have I done? We're supposed to be fabulous.

- UNC went on to win the game, costing Michigan's Fab Five the glory they so desperately deserved. The time out has haunted Webber and Michigan fans ever since.

Hamas said on Friday it would consult with other militant Palestinian factions on its strategy to negotiate a halt to the war triggered by its Oct. 7 onslaught into Israel.

The Flores agreement has protected migrant children for nearly 3 decades. Changes may be coming.
The Biden administration is expected to try to partially end a 27-year-old agreement that provides court oversight of how the federal government cares for migrant children in its custody, according to an attorney with Children's Rights, which represents children in the case. The anticipated move comes weeks after the Health and Human Services Department published its own rule on safeguards, effective July 1, that Secretary Xavier Becerra said will set “clear standards for the care and treatment of unaccompanied (migrant) children.” Children’s advocates say what is known as the Flores agreement has been instrumental in guaranteeing safe conditions for children, especially amid rising border detentions over the past two years that included nearly 300,000 unaccompanied minors.
