SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Birdy the Wonder Dog discuss the state of local sports. [00:27] Evan, aided by his latest canine acquisition, makes a case for Nathan Eovaldi as the Rangers' second-best free agent signing ever, behind only Adrian Beltre.

[43:05] And, last but not least, the guys make their title picks for the men's bracket and Kevin tells old Phi Slama Jama stories.
