alzheimer's means i am a lot of things. i am his sunshine. i am his advocate. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. he's always been my everything. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr police in the bronx are searching for a man wanted for breaking into two laundry rooms. this is video from an incident on december 8. you can see the suspect walk in through an unlocked door on garrison avenue, before he jumped onto a laundry table, and taped up the surveillance camera. in november, police say the man stole a laundry card dispenser from the laundry room on a woman accused of pulling off jewelry store robberies across five states. now the fbi says they've caught her. the 24-year-old was taken into custody in georgia. >> the fbi identified the suspected armed jewelry store robber in the surveillance video as abigail kemp from georgia. authorities say she stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry, and she was wanted in multiple states throughout the south. the 24-year-old was arrested friday in a suburb of atlanta. along with a man who investigators have not yet identified. our affiliate obtained a federal affidavit that links kemp to at least five robberies in six states since april. in another robbery, she's accused of ordering store employees to the back room and zip tieing her hands. in one more, authorities say she stole more than $900,000 worth of merchandise. the 8 month spree began at a jared store north of atlanta. pulling off five more heists in georgia, tennessee, florida, south carolina and north carolina. police records show a 2011 arrest warrant out of cobb county for kemp for battery. along with this mug shot. the fbi says they used social media accounts to link her to the robbery. it's a photo worth more than 1,000 words. this picture is going viral, showing a young couple reconnecting after getting involved in a car crash in tennessee. it happened on new year's day as 21-year-old erica stovall and her baby hunter headed home. amazingly, both survived. >> we've gotten hundreds of messages just telling us that our story is what, you know, brought them out of a really, really dark place in their life. >> anybody who looks at that photo could tell obviously somebody happened, and both of >> both are out of the hospital and home recovering. the world famous playboy mansion is up for sale. it's yours for a mere $200 million. hugh hefner bought the mansion in 1971 for $1.1 million. it's 22,000 square feet, and located in the homby hills area of los angeles. but there is a catch. you have to agree to let hefner live on the property until he passes away. stealing a snake from a portland, oregon pet store, and he did it by putting the rep tail down his pants. while no one is looking, he puts the python down his pants. the owners of a to z pets say he's lucky the snake was recently fed. police are now searching for the two. thousands of scantly clad today for the no-paints sub ride. participants enter fully clothed, but once the doors are closed, they take off their pants. the event happens every january. it started in 2002 as a prank from the improve everywhere group, but has now grown internationally. let's go check it. it's been interesting. we've had record warmth so far this winter. this week coming, no record let's see what we're talking about as we take a live look outside. this is from our camera high atop the empire state building. if you take a close look at it, you can kind of make it out. it's shaking, because things are windy, as they've been so much of the day. 41degrees right now, winds out of the west at 18 miles per hour, but gusting to 30 miles per hour. take a look at these current 39degrees nor hackensack. 42 for laguardia. 40 for jfk. as we widen out and take a look at other numbers. 39 for edison, and belmar. 47 in the hamptons. you are the hot spot at least on this map at this hour. windy conditions continue, and temperatures continue to plummet tonight, so it gets significantly colder. we're also going to have a wintery chill for your monday. temperatures drop tonight. they don't really rebound tomorrow. so we continue to be cold, and with the winds, it will feel even colder. we are expecting snow showers late tuesday, into early wednesday. no accumulation, but still expecting snow showers. dry, and chilly. and for some people it will just be downright cold the rest of the week. your vortex satellite and radar showing things cleared up significantly. this is all that rain that moved through earlier. that's been a memory for a while. we could have some flurries back here. some snow showers. for us tomorrow, the big story is going to be just the temperatures. we'll see lots of sunshine, but 20 degrees colder than it was on sunday. temperatures in the 30s, with we'll see some passing snow tuesday night. take a look at these low temperatures tonight. lots of 20s, a couple of 30s. but even those barely make it to the freezing mark. tomorrow's high, 36 degrees. lots of sunshine, but it will feel like 23. >> it's here. all right elise, thank you. another coaching change for a new york team. plus a deeper look into

in a hot or iced macchiato today. we're going to get into a discussion on the mets financial situation in just a few minutes. first, let's talk about the nfl playoffs and what did we learn this wild card weekend? we learned we're going to watch every single play, because at any minute, the unimaginable will be realized. you couple that with washington's 4 game winning streak. it's understandable why the packers were considered the underdogs. but you never count out a super bowl champion, and two time mvp. green bay puts up its biggest number since week 3, 17 point win over the redskins, 35-18. the seahawks/vikings. 90-points. they're also no stranger to postseason drama. russell wilson somehow makes something out of nothing. he flips that fumble into a 35- yard catch and run. ended up scoring their first touchdown. goal. then the unimaginable. the last second game winner. shorter than an extra point. hero. but it went the other way. to put this into perspective. there were 190 kicks from this distance or shorter in the nfl this year. all but two were made. seahawks win 10-9. all four road teams knock off the home teams on wild card weekend. >> the snap maybe was a little high. but it's a chip shot. he's got to make it. we missed a field goal, we lost the game. other than that, they hit kind of a freaky, fluky play. we miss a chip shot field goal. so that's life. it's almost time to lock in on baseball once again, and of course, the mets are the hot topic. gm sandy alderson said they are not spending money, and the media is getting it wrong. let's bring in howard megdahl. you also recently wrote an article about the mets, and basically said, in fact, you literally said they are running a ponzi scheme. explain that for us, please. >> a ponzi scheme is saying, give us money for x, and you'll get a certain amount of returns that come. in this case, what the mets have done, they've said if you come to the park more, if you spend more money, we'll get more revenue, and we'll turn around, and spend it on players. typically, that's not how any product works. typically, you have to put the quality product out there, and it, but the mets did it this way, and to their credit, it actually worked. they saw attendance increase 20% last year, without a jump in spending, and the net result is the mets had a ton of extra revenue, 45 to $60 million from postseason alone, and many millions more than that, in terms of basic revenue from this regular season, and next regular season at their disposal. what they haven't done is taken that money and invested in the team. >> doesn't the team have the option to use that money as they choose? >> there are two parts to that. one is obviously, it's contra their public promises. at the very least, you could say, hear not telling the truth to their fans. on top of it, it just so happens that precisely this action was what led the los angeles dodgers to be taken major league baseball. almost to the letter. so there's precedence here within the league as well. not even including conversations of things like major league baseball rules and other. >> i think the mets fan out there just want a better understanding of the financial situation. how much are the mets bringing in? how much of that money is accounted for elsewhere? >> every single year, there's affectively a payroll that is spent on financing debt before you even get to spending a dollar of the mets money. there's approximately $44 million every cheer in debt balloon payments against citi field. those payments which continue through december 2045. you also have significantly more than $600 million in loans against sny, and more than $250 million against the new york mets themselves. they have to finance that debt, that is to pay the interest on the debt, every single year. the sum total of that is league baseball payroll. at least the mets major league baseball payroll. the easiest way to get to the 200 million dollars the yankees spent every year, is to add the $110 million the mets spent last year to the amount of debt financing they have as well. >> so they're essentially financing two teams. in your article, you say the mets have less than $10 million their spending on the best starting rotation in baseball. plus you have a closer in there. you look at the giants who are spending $75 million on the same caliber of player. you're saying it's not that they don't want to spend that money on hitters. it's that they don't have the ability to possibly? >> that's the question. whether they have simply, and they haven't had the ability to for several years. the question is, now that a massive amount of revenue has come in, do they continue to and it's possible because they are heavily leveraged, or do they simply opt not too. it should be of concern to major league baseball as well. >> you did years of research on this, and wrote a book called wilpon's folly. now the mets and their tv revenue have to be the bread winners. >> that's for two reasons. one is you had consistent significant returns. so the mets could be well aware that this money was coming in regardless. but you also had the ability to use that for liquidity. in 2007, when tom glavine had a bonus to be paid. there was documentation saying, we need to scrape the bottom of get that money to pay. this was how they were operating at sort of a shoestring level before madoff went bust, in which he needed to find a way to borrow to get the money they lost when madoff went poof in the night. >> but they are holding off right now. forbes did estimate that pair payroll percentage was third lowest in major league baseball. why is that such a big problem for the mets, and is this financial situation that we're seeing with this franchise right now just going to be the new normal? >> to the point of why it is such a big problem, and do keep in mind, that was even based on last year's revenue, that's before the massive increase in attendance, that's perform the postseason revenues that came in. you can expect that number and that ranking to go down significantly. whether it's the new normal has a lot to do with whether the mets are capable of making a change, whether major league change. but certainly, there's very little reason to see it change anytime soon, if this set of circumstances didn't lead to a change. that is a ton of talent that is pre-arbitration, so not particularly expensive, and the added revenue, coming from a run to the world series. if that didn't change spending habits, it's awfully hard to imagine what would. >> so what you're saying now, is because honestly, what a lot of mets fans thought over the last few years is we're out of the woods. we've approached the end of the tunnel at this point, and it's going to be smooth sailing from this point on. it doesn't sound like that's entirely true just now. >> no, and the messaging from the team has been trying to make it seem that way. it tried to seem that way when the settlement was reached with the madoff trustee. they tried to make it seam that way in the middle of each subsequent season. the problem has always been, they need to service every single year. until there's a way for that to be paid down. for that to go somewhere, it's really hard to understand how they're not going to have a massive amount of suction at the heart of their revenue base every single year. >> you have a new book coming out. it's called the cardinal way. it basically details how the cardinals run their business. a franchise that seems to always push the right buttons. is there some sort of a formula that the st. louis cardinals have that maybe the mets can learn from? >> it's hard to learn from it, per se, but what you do have is from ownership on down, the ability to plan payroll, and expenditures 3 to 5 years out. bill dewitt, the owners of the cardinals, and john mozeliak work hand in hand to see what money they have coming in, and where it's going. mets execs would laugh at that they would not have to just spend money infrequently, but when they get the student to spend it when -- opportunity to spend it when they get the chance. author, writer, howard megdahl thanks for coming in studio and clearing it up for us. >> glad to help. the mets are in the middle of a major -- nets are in the middle of a major restructuring. lionel hollins and bj king have been relieved their duties. hollins was fired after just a year and a half as the coach of the nets. this season, the team has the third worst record in the nba. he will be placed on the interim by assistant coach tony brown, who will now become the fiveth head coach of this franchise in the past four years. criticized for giving up too many draft picks for veterans. tonight's game against the bucks should have been a breeze. derrick williams scored 6 points in the 1st half, but it felt like it should have been worth more. the knicks had a 10 point lead at the break. that would balloon to 22 by the end of the 3rd quarter. this was a group effort for the knicks. how about kristaps porzingis. he had five blocks as well for new york. carmelo anthony led the way with 24 points. he was also two assists shy of a triple-double. 100-88. devils trying to end a three game losing streak at minnesota. both the devils and the wild rank top five in goals against this year. jersey boys go on to win this one, 2-1 the final. imagine if you're a cleveland cavaliers ball boy, and your job, during warm ups is simply just feed passes to what happens if you throw it when he's not looking. this. >> oh. he was okay, he was laughing. no damage. i think somebody did get called for a foul. we are laughing with you lebron. not at you. maybe a little at you. stick around, we'll be right back. savor an egg mcmuffin any time you like. a fresh cracked egg, canadian bacon and an english muffin with real butter. mcdonald's all day breakfast
