Watch above as Pat Mayo (@ThePME) of RotoExperts delivers his three best Daily Fantasy picks for Thursday, April 4.

RotoExperts’ Adam Ronis praises Yu Darvish from Fantasy perspectives after his near-perfect game on Tuesday. Ronis says this could be the start of an outstanding season – one he saw coming.

Last night was Shaq’s big night. The Lakers retired his jersey, and bigshots like Phil Jackson were there to mark the occasion. Lakers fans love Phil Jackson… and they were very, very eager for him to know it. Eager enough to make it weird, actually.

Kevin Ware’s broken leg was awful and chilling to watch, but thankfully what’s happened since has been pretty much the opposite. Good news on his surgery, (relatively) good news on his current status – and now, good news about his Final Four plans. Oh, and he sat down for an interview with ESPN, too – see it after the jump.

Well, following the (justified) outcry over this, it wound up being the only option: Rutgers fired basketball coach Mike Rice this morning. It was a necessary step, but the school’s got a long, long way to go to clean up the mess it’s made for itself – and as a fan, the continued embarrassments are getting harder and harder to stomach.

Jedd Gyorko tore through the minor leagues, and is now entrenched as a starter in the infield in his rookie season with the Padres. Scott Engel talks to the young sensation about adjusting to life in the majors and his cool, calm approach to arriving in The Show.

Last night on MLB Network, Bob Costas quoted Ludacris on the air. Aside from providing us with great enjoyment, it reminded us of another buttoned-down sports journalist named Bob who once quoted a popular rap artist on the air: Bob Ley. So who did it better? That’s what we try our hand at figuring out after the jump.

The Nationals continue to limit Stephen Strasburg’s workload, as he worked seven innings in the season opener even through he was cruising through a weak Miami lineup. The limits continue to frustrate Fantasy players like Adam Ronis, but Mark “Dr. Roto” Bloom understands the situation. They discuss after the jump.

Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice was suspended in December for inappropriate conduct during practice. Today, the video of that inappropriate conduct was shown to the world. I’m a Rutgers graduate, and fan, and now I’m once again left wondering if there will ever come a time when, for one reason or another, Rutgers athletics won’t be a source of national ridicule.
