opening day starter. we start with the flyers. a dozen games left for the fly guys. they have to be nearly perfect to make the post season, orange and black hosting the hurricanes, steve mason, third period, game time. how about that? jordan staal. carolina takes the leave, ivan provorov. headed to oc, shawn couturier, brayden schenn rebounding and scoring. flyers escape way 4-3 victory after blowing a 2-0 lead. >> get in the position before and i'd be able to tie it up, but be able to get the goal to tie it up, which was a relief. it was a good goal

>> for the most part, maybe a little front there in the third period but, you know, stuck with it and like i said huge -- got us back in it >> big win, the fly guys, busy day at the wells fargo center. earlier the sixers hosting the celtics hoping to snap an 11-game losing streak. last time they beat them april 14th, 2014. it's been a minute. jahlil okafor missing the second half with knee soreness, game tied, dario saric should be the rookie of the year. pass to robert covington with 16. sixers erasing a 13-point deficit. dario doing himself at 23. under a minute left. nick stoukis. working from long range, sixers ending the 11 game losing streak win it by six >> finally we beat them.

i'm so happy because i wanted to beat them. so bad. >> we beat them since here, but overall, you know, we >> joining us sports radio 94 wip john marks. let's continue this talk about the sixers. dario another good game. i think it's something like 19 straight games scoring in double digits. is dario now your rookie of the year >> he has to be. a lot of people are making the case for joel embiid, i think dario is making that decision for them. what he's able to do, scoring passing. i don't know who else youou get. >> it's been a bad 2016 class, dario playing really well. they won today. you look at it that way and the big part was because of dario >> he's better than i thought.

especially at the beginning i thought he looks little skid ish >> brett brown a lot being a philly type player and i think what he meant his defense rebounding but he can score. there's not a lot of natural scorers. he knows how to get it in the bucket. he does it in a lot of different ways. it's exciting, i was with you, people ask me on the radio can he be the rookie of the year. i said probably not more embiid. he can score enough. rebound and do it all. he's been impressive >> charles barkley a lot of guys analyst going with joel embiid, i can't give a guy a rookie if you play 30 games. i can't give you rookie of the year for that. >> it's amazing i think he played 28 games in college. the biggest thing with joel embiid is really just getting him healthy and keeping him

healthy. forget about the knee and foot and the stress fracture in the back he had in college. and how do you do that? my worse fear is that you're just going to constantly trying to manage his healthy. if he was playing right now and the sixers were in the playoff they would be sitting had imout trying to get him healthy. that's the biggest thing with joe. keeping him healthy not just getting him healthy >> how scared, how fearful are you for his future, >> ten. he has -- he has star power and star potential and perfect for the city. they win, they hit a game winning shot. he understands the city. he's going like this, he gets the city. gets what we're looking for and by the way he handles the ball like a guard and shoots like guard and got -- he really is a complete player. scared to death it's not going to end up working out

>> he'll be one of the best thing to happen to the city in terms of sports or one of the most tragic stories. almost seems like they're not going to be a between the other thing is they have to make a decision relative soon ons had contract. they have the pay him, they pretty much have to pay him. is a goalie worth 100 million? i don't remember what the specifics are, but five year and you're looking a little bit over 20$20 a year. >> you're talking about $100 million investment. >> it's a tough spot >> ivan turner got a $72 million r moss kov. even if it's 25 minutes a 90, 50 games a year. it's just so hard to do that to have him sign on the dotted line

when you haven't seen him play for a long period of time. next year you're worried about the knee and the sixers and the injuries you're worried about the knee and san diego and getting second and third opinions, what do you do? you wonder if the injuries will stop. back in 2013, my last sixers question. back in 2013, the boston celtics and the sixers in the standings, i think the sixers had 19 wins and the sell tick had 25. they play tonight and two franchises gone opposite directions. do you see the sixers going in the boston direction or staying kind of like what they have been >> better be going going in the boston direction. >> we've endured it and i've watched games without emotion. you paid more attention, cared more saw joel embiid. they have a lot of talent on the floor but winning games somehow and you're seeing it with a guy like saric.

holmes blocks, assists, rebounds, not with jahlil okafor. he was barely on the floor >> he cut that knee issue, soreness again, and that's going to be an issue too, talk about one of the reasons why you couldn't get rid of him he's not fully healthy as well let's talk about nova nation obviously bumming tonight. great season coming up short. final minutes of that game against wisconsin what did you see? >> i saw what really the whole game too many second chances baskets for wisconsin. remember, this is a wisconsin team, the seniors. two final four, not last year but two previous years, they're experienced and they're a team that really i think what i saw was nova they didn't have enough size. last year they had a -- they didn't have much of anything. i just saw a team that just was missing a little bit. you're playing an a team and a team that's experienced final

four team and it was tough. they just couldn't get a bucket. they're the only team in the country who is now made it to four straight sweet 16s. that is a tough draw for villanova. i will say this moving forward the future looks bright. dante divincenzo hello. he can play and jay keeps getting these guys. >> i talked about him, it's not that he wouldn't get the one and done type guy that kentucky of some of the other universities get his team is built on seniors, by the type their senior, even if they didn't start off very good at freshmen by the time their seniors their the leaders and you're going to see that with jalen brunson >> yes, he's going to be great and dante would be a sophomore as well. >> wildcats distracted us quite a bit. eagles have been active in the off season. this is john when we come back we're talking birds when the zone rolls on. jape.

(laughing) (colonial penn jingle) welcome back, don bell hanging outside with don marks. the eagles been busy, i read on your website. one of you're guys writing at 14 you better look at a defensive

end. which is contrary to what most people have been saying, go with the corner. >> i believe that you definitely do want a corner and if you're looking for what's most important or what the breastfeed on this team is right now, you're looking at a wide receiver and a corner or you can even say maybe a running back, for sure, who's the running back on this roster, a defensive end does a couple different thing, the pass rusher is important. you don't have corners, you're going to draft corners down line, a defensive end can make all difference in the world. marcus smith can come in there, curry needs to step it up. you think about vick beasley with the fall comes. >> immediately by the way, the kid is a stud. you get pressure on the quarterback and if a guy is 32. i don't know if a corner will be there that's worth taking a the

14. you might see how with rose man, he's the cycle of andy reid, >> got to go with the defensive and offensive line, they say a good indication he might go with did he have line early and draft as well. you mentioned pass rushers going on. what's go and on with ben curry? he had two and a half sacks, they say guy bot a big-time contract. that's starting to look like a terrible signing after one year. >> this is the way you look at it. first year, you give it to him, maybe a little bit of an adjustment be maybe it wasn't get the snaps. personally i don't think jim schwartz had a good job in keeping him involved or being creative. year two, this is what it comes down to, if he doesn't produce this year, he will be cut. they will be cutting money off of the payroll. vinny curry right now, remember

andy read used to resign his players, young guys >> how with is trying to do the same thing and he got a little bit too carried away because he paid a backup player pro ball money and he's not earning it so far. >> it's looking like a bad deal so far. hopefully he can turn that around. he didn't get a whole lot of snaps. >> he got to be productive. >> doesn't seem like he earned the snaps. i was think about that signing as being bad i have it right there in that column. along with chase daniels. i thought it was an awful deal, looks awful now. i think he got 12 million to throw one pass. not a bad gig if you can get it. he wants to be a starter, have that's why the eagles let him go. he wants to be a starter. i want to be you. >> i want to look good in what you're wearing tonight >> i'll send you one of these in the mail

>> but i agree with you terrible signing. i understand what they're trying to do. when andy reid came in here and he had the young quarterback, doug pederson, the backup, that was a bad sign, doug pederson was only here one year. i think they tried to to do the same thing with chase daniel. >> awful deal >> they brought him in when sam bradford was still here. maybe they thought he could be competing. the guy through 58 passes before he came to philadelphia for a reason. >> i don't even know if he's a good backup. i believe i know >> here be what to do, r i do. >> if you're starting -- four games, you want to go two and two. ? 's to go throw and one. you want the backup to win at least half of the game.

if chase daniel comes in for your starter. unlike you're winning two games? probably not. >> i don't feel confident about it. no. i don't feel great about it, no. >> that's what you want. here's the bigger problem. you could have gotten better production or a potential production. a veteran guy out there. >> he got 7 million a year. i digress, sorry. let's talk about pressure. i think in terms of who's under most pressure moving forward. there's carson wentz and there's alshon jeffrey. between those two, who's got the greater amount pressure in 2017 >> definitely carson wentz. usual right about alshon jeffrey. you kick but this year, you get a big contract. he just had a 14 million dollar

contract. this year is another -- could be 14 million dollar >> he made his money. >> it's like you want to have a good year, carson wentz was a honey moon last year. he didn't get criticized. everything was blamed on his supporting cast. i can just tell you i just -- i know how fans are. you know how fans are. you struggling and you look like you're not firing the ball he's going to start to hear it. he'll get pressure this year as the quarterback >> deep ball is an issue but i also think he'll experience pressure because he's number one target needs to show out. alshon jeffrey deal we know, he gets about 9 million guaranteed but the other 4 middle, whatever it is, that -- how many balls are catching? how many touchdowns do you have? therefore, carson wentz, i just wonder what happens in, say, december, when zach ertz does he what he does in december ands

gets about ten balls and kind of out of it and alshon needs numbers. >> he's going to be like kishan. >> i'm open all day. >> going to be a tough situation. off season so far >> i give them a solid d. the wide receivers great they got two wide receivers. who they are for the future. how with has to address that. we still don't have any quarterbacks, jay lynn mills and ron brooks will be the starters. you got offensive line but is that -- releasing jason kelce. a >> a lot to go >> you can sign free agents and do everythinse need to draft and develop them >> if you're jordan mathews you feel what right now >> like i'm going to paid after the season not byhgles. >> interesting. >> john marks where can people

a late winter freeze is wreaking havoc on fruit and vegetable crops in the south. georgia farmers could lose $100 million worth of peaches and blueberries alone. mark strassman has the chilling details from georgia. >> reporter: these are peach trees, and all these pink blooms are peach buds that look healthy but do not be fooled. on tree after tree, freezing temperatures have killed the buds and much of this year's crop. and with peaches, once the bud dies, it's wait till next year. and on farms like this, many of the crops lie in ruins. >> if there's any of that cold air that got in there, i dare say to this one is dead. that son of a gun is alive. >> reporter: drew and his family have been working this north georgia farm for ive generations. >> another dead one. basically most of your open stuff is dead.

>> reporter: those pink flowers you see blooming along the endless rows of tree are vulnerable peach buds. the orchard has 140 acres of them. but because of a warm weather, they opened three weeks early. after this week's cold snap, he has already lost half his crop. >> we could be out of 22 degree weather but not out of the woods yet. >> it definitely could result in certainly tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars to georgia producers. >> reporter: in nearby north carolina, peach farms were devastated by plummeting temperatures. growers tried overhead irrigation to insulate the crop. and in south carolina, farmers use tarps o protect their strawberry patches from the cold. >> it's a pretty tough pill to swallow. >> reporter: is this crop all lost? >> no, but a good quarter of it is. >> reporter: his strawberry fields were also hit hard.

in all, he's lost more than $1 million this week alone. >> there's a family that stands behind every morsel of food produced in america. today, the food being produced by georgia farmers are in a pretty tight squeeze right now. >> reporter: good news for georgia farmers. those temperatures are expected to stay above freezing at least for the next week. but those farmers won't be able to truly exhale until mid april when the final frost. it is still too soon to tell what impact on grocery prices this will have for consumers. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. ♪ i don't think that's how they're made. klondike hooks up with tasty flavors...

mario andretti is considered one of the top racecar drivers in history. some say he is the greatest driver ever. well, at 77, andretti is still tearing around tracks from coast to coast, and he took mo rocca for a spin. >> reporter: you would have thought i would be nervous climbing into the back seat of a racecar at sonoma raceway. but when the driver is a 77-year-old grandfather, why worry? suddenly i'm going 180 miles an hour.

who does gramps think he is, mario andretti? >> i'm an adrenaline junkie. and without adrenaline, i'd die. >> reporter: even though he's long retired from racing, every few weeks, mario andretti takes the wheel at racetracks around the country as part of the mario andretti racing experience. he and his fellow drivers give thrilling and, i can attest, somewhat terrifying rides to everyone from racing fans like greg likener of san jose. >> if you take a roller coaster and multiply it by five, that might be close, but there's no rails. >> reporter: to nba superstar stephan curry. >> that was unbelievable. >> reporter: andretti is argue my the greatest racecar driver of all time. during his half century long career, it seems there was no car he couldn't tame.

>> i always say it's like an animal trainer. if you can make a tiger or something that can destroy you purr, you're a darn good animal trainer. this is the same thing. you can make that car that can destroy you, make it purr, make it do the things you want it to do. >> that's the appeal? >> of course it is. >> we're back at daytona and the battle goes on. the leader is still mario andretti. >> reporter: what always made andretti stand out from the pack was his versatility. he won on ovals, on road courses, and on dirt. you don't have them separated, categorized. >> that's exactly right, because that's the way my career was. i would go from the grand prix of italy to the hoosier 100 to run at the fair grounds on a dirt track. >> reporter: no wonder the associated press named him driver of the century. you got a trophy from hot wheels. who wouldn't want that? that to me would be the pinnacle. >> little kids would think so

any way. >> reporter: mario andretti's road began in italy, where the end of world war ii left his family in a refugee camp in lucca. the family didn't own a car, but he and his twin brother parked cars in a local garage. >> we were just testing some standing starts, the burnouts and so forth. so that's how i learned my standing starts in formula one. when i valet a car today, i'm thinking i wonder if they're doing the same thing i was doing. >> reporter: note to self, always self park. when he wasn't abusing other people's cars, he was at the movies watching racing, like in film starring clark cable and barbara stanwick. and then when mario was 15, the andrettis came to america. they settled in nazareth, pennsylvania. this is really your first nous america. >> first house in america, yes. >> reporter: right after moving

in, mario and aldo noticed a commotion nearby. >> big lights maybe a mile away. it was at the fair grounds. all of a sudden a big explosion of engines. and aldo and i looked at each other and booked and followed the roar of the engines. and here was the dirt track. >> reporter: so this is where the noise came from that made you and your brother run. >> yes. >> reporter: and when you got here you found? >> we found our future. >> reporter: the brothers cobbled together a racecar. and mario began building toward a family of his own. >> i met him when he was about 16 at a holy family church dance. >> reporter: that was the start of a 56-year and counting marriage to deanne andretti. he was already all about motor sports. >> oh, yes. i don't think he had anything else on his mind. >> reporter: he must have had something else on his mind because he started dating.

>> well, that's true. >> i said i hope i have the opportunity to become a race driver. from there on, i never really had a plan b in my head. >> reporter: mario's sons michael and jeffrey and nephew john followed him into racing. if you want to understand how competitive mario andretti is, consider the portland grand prix in 1986. >> michael tries to pass his father. look at him sneak to the inside and make a nice move on his father. >> three laps to the end, i get screams from the epg engineer michael is having fuel problems. >> reporter: the last lap came down to father and son. >> so i stood up on the seat and we're coming down to the checkered flag. >> coming off the corner, he's out of fuel. here comes the finish line. >> i beat him by two inches. >> the closest indy car finish in history.

>> we were on the podium and he was not happy. somebody told him, michael, michael, it's father's day. >> happy father's day, dad. >> reporter: when your heard on the radio your son is having problems, were you thinking, yes, yes. >> don't tell him that. >> reporter: and you're thinking that's my husband and my son. >> oh, yes. i used to hate when they were together on the track. because neither one would give an inch. so it's scary. >> reporter: scary doesn't begin to define auto racing. i'm going to read you a list of names here. red regal, judd larson, dick atkins, don branson, billy foster, ronnie peterson. >> yeah. that's the dark side of the sport obviously. these are some of my closest friends that i lost in the sport. >> reporter: this 1978 crash took the life of teammate ronnie peterson.

when most of these men die, you already had kids. did your wife say, you've got to stop doing this? >> no. i know what she was going through obviously, because we were going through it together. but she was such a rock for me and in so many ways she suffered in silence. >> i guess that's really what i did, yes. >> reporter: was there ever a moment where you thought i've got to tell him to stop this? >> no, because i knew what i was getting in for. you don't stop somebody if they have a real goal in life. >> reporter: did you ever think, i might have to end up raising these kids alone? >> oh, i often thought of that, yeah. but it's just the risk you take. >> reporter: andretti competed in almost 900 races, missing only two because of injury. he walked away from this triple somersault in indianapolis in 2003. you knew how competitive he was? >> oh, yes, for sure. >> reporter: and still is? >> uh-huh, yes.

>> reporter: so you would think that just maybe in his eighth decade, mario andretti could be ready to put it in park, and indeed, you can sometimes find a more mellow mario at his winery in california's napa valley. hoisting a glass of wine with the tourists. that's great. >> when i'm here, when i bring the family here, it just replenishes my spirit. there's something that's soothing. not just the fact that you enjoy a couple of glasses. but this is really a labor of love. >> reporter: but then sunday comes. and mario is back at the track. his grandson marco is driving these days for the andretti team led by mario's son, michael. look in the pit and there's grandpa. does marco want your advice? >> he takes it. i mean, i volunteer some advice. >> reporter: when he comes to

see you race, does he come as your grandfather or as a racing legend that might have advice? >> he comes as a grandfather. you know, that really -- he really wants the best. it kills me as much as it kills me when it doesn't go right. so to have that support definitely feels good. >> reporter: i would never use the word "retired" to describe you. so let's just say at this stage in your career, is there something special about race day? >> race day is always a new day. when i was younger, i said some day when i become more mature, i'm going to lose those butterflies. and i never did, from the first race to the last race, i had the same butterflies. you know why? because it meant something to me. >> reporter: perhaps the best word to describe mario andretti -- driven. to you, does it feel like you're back in it suddenly when you get in the car? >> always. it's my element. when they put me in the box, it's going to have to have wheels on it.

there's a restaurant owner in california who nearly went bankrupt feeding needy kids and that was before tragedy struck. steve hartman found his story on the road. >> all gone. >> reporter: last month, bruno cerato walked into the nightmare that used to be his dream. this is what's left of the white house restaurant in anaheim, california. >> there's a picture with my mom on it. >> reporter: the picture of mom, pretty much everything he loved was in this restaurant. this is what it looked like before the electrical fire. during our first visit in 2010, that story was about this italian immigrant who catered to the rich and famous, just so he could feed the down and out. every day, here at the local boys and girls club, some of the poorest children in anaheim had been eating from one of the most exclusive restaurants in town.

at the time, bruno was giving away more meals than he was selling, and he was going broke. >> and you refinanced your home? >> i refinanced my house, yes. >> reporter: how can you keep feeding these kids? >> i cannot stop. >> reporter: and that devotion is what made this so devastating. >> this fire destroyed everything i worked for, for 30 years. it was like, we need to find a kitchen somewhere, because we need to do the pasta for the children. >> reporter: unfortunately that mission was clearly over. or so he thought. until he got home, turned on his computer and learned what happens sometimes when really bad things happen to really good people. he got thousands of messages online and hundreds more in person. all of them offers to pitch in. >> whatever i can do. >> some kind of fund-raiser.

>> any way we can help. >> reporter: and with that, the man who started serving all those kids on his own was alone no more. >> we want to make sure that you rebuild that restaurant so you can continue to serve all these children. >> reporter: more than a dozen caterers and competitors offered him their kitchen for free. as a result, he didn't miss a single day feeding his favorite customers. people have also donated money to rebuild the restaurant. do you think you'll ever look back on this and say i'm actually glad that happened? >> i will think of that. you know when they say you give love and you get 100 times back? i disagree. i get 1 million times back. >> reporter: now that's a lot of karma. that's the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm elaine quijano. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
