(3:27) We're down to the final four weeks of the NFL season. I'll go in on the schedule for Week 15, starting off with Seattle hosting San Francisco in a big game for the Seahawks. Three games on Saturday, highlighted by Miami in Buffalo. Sunday's slate is ok, not spectacular as Dallas is in Jacksonville, Tennessee visits the Chargers and what's left of Tampa Bay hosts Cincinnati. There were a couple of transactions with teams on the verge of making deep playoff runs as I'll break down Cole Beasley back in Buffalo and T.Y. Hilton signing with Dallas.

(21:25) I'll spend a minute remembering Mississippi St. coach, Mike Leach as he passed away due to heart failure at the age of 61.

(22:49) The Celtics and Lakers renewed their rivalry for the first time this year, with a thrilling win in OT for the C's as I take a little trip down memory lane to a couple of other regular season classic games between the two teams. I'll get into what's happening throughout the Association, including Steph Curry's shoulder injury. And a possible changing of the guard at the top of the Western Conference?

(32:14) Capitals winger, Alexander Ovechkin reached a milestone only two other players have ever accomplished in the 100 plus year history of the NHL, as he had a hat trick to score 800 goals in his illustrious career. Why he should be appreciated and celebrated for this achievement? Plus, all that's happening on the ice over the past few days.

(39:43) Carlos Correa signs the fourth largest contract in MLB history as he becomes a member of the San Francisco Giants. I'll tell you why he's not worth it? There was a shrewd trade made by the Braves bringing in Sean Murphy from Oakland. Why that could turn out to be another great move by a well run organization in Atlanta. Former Mets Chris Bassitt (inks a three year deal with Toronto) and Adam Ottavino (still a free agent) as we get deeper into the offseason.

(50:35) And then there are two. Argentina will play defending World Cup champion France for the 2022 World Cup Title. I'll recap the semifinal round, leading up to the finale come Sunday. What this match means for Argentina's Lionel Messi? I'll share who I'm rooting for and have my fingers crossed that the game DOES NOT come down to penalty kicks!

On deck: (3:27) We're down to the final four weeks of the NFL season. I'll go in on the...
(3:27) We're down to the final four weeks of the NFL season. I'll go in on the schedule for Week 15, starting off with Seattle hosting San Francisco in a big game for the Seahawks. Three games on Saturday, highlighted by Miami in Buffalo. Sunday's slate is ok, not spectacular as Dallas is in Jacksonville, Tennessee visits the Chargers and what's left of Tampa Bay hosts Cincinnati. There were a couple of transactions with teams on the verge of making deep playoff runs as I'll break down Cole Beasley back in Buffalo and T.Y. Hilton signing with Dallas.

(21:25) I'll spend a minute remembering Mississippi St. coach, Mike Leach as he passed away due to heart failure at the age of 61.

(22:49) The Celtics and Lakers renewed their rivalry for the first time this year, with a thrilling win in OT for the C's as I take a little trip down memory lane to a couple of other regular season classic games between the two teams. I'll get into what's happening throughout the Association, including Steph Curry's shoulder injury. And a possible changing of the guard at the top of the Western Conference?

(32:14) Capitals winger, Alexander Ovechkin reached a milestone only two other players have ever accomplished in the 100 plus year history of the NHL, as he had a hat trick to score 800 goals in his illustrious career. Why he should be appreciated and celebrated for this achievement? Plus, all that's happening on the ice over the past few days.

(39:43) Carlos Correa signs the fourth largest contract in MLB history as he becomes a member of the San Francisco Giants. I'll tell you why he's not worth it? There was a shrewd trade made by the Braves bringing in Sean Murphy from Oakland. Why that could turn out to be another great move by a well run organization in Atlanta. Former Mets Chris Bassitt (inks a three year deal with Toronto) and Adam Ottavino (still a free agent) as we get deeper into the offseason.

(50:35) And then there are two. Argentina will play defending World Cup champion France for the 2022 World Cup Title. I'll recap the semifinal round, leading up to the finale come Sunday. What this match means for Argentina's Lionel Messi? I'll share who I'm rooting for and have my fingers crossed that the game DOES NOT come down to penalty kicks!

(2:57) NFL Week 14 didn't pack a lot of intrigue or suspense, but there has been some movement as teams try to make a run to the postseason, where others are flailing as they try to hang on for their dear lives. I'll go through my winners (i.e. Lions & Chargers) and losers (i.e. Raiders & Seahawks) I'll recap where we're at as we're approaching the final quarter of the season as certain teams in the AFC (Dolphins, Chargers, Jets, Patriots) and NFC (Giants, Commanders, Seahawks, even Lions) do their best to make a push to get to January playing in meaningful games.

(31:12) Army wins in the first ever OT game vs. rival Navy to where the Midshipmen fired their head coach. USC QB, Caleb Williams is your Heisman Trophy Winner. Now it's onto the Bowls, but I'll explain why I won't go full bore on the entire schedule and just focus on the College Football Playoff?

(33:22) The MLB Hot Stove has cooled off a little bit since the craziness at the Winter Meetings last week. But don't say that to Mets owner, Steve Cohen. He's continued to add to his already exorbitant payroll, re-signing OF Brandon Nimmo to an eight year, $162 million dollar contract. They've also agreed to sign the best Japanese pitcher out there in Kodai Senga to a five year, $75 million dollar deal. Is this what the Met fan (like myself) has been waiting for? Spending in free agency for a better shot at winning that elusive World Series? Or have they sold their souls to the devil that could end up a lot worse than the fan could ever expect?

(43:21) Is there a budding rivalry taking place in the NBA? The Suns and Pelicans played two back to back, hard fought competitive games that the Pels won. In the first game, it led to a fracas as Zion Williamson added a thunderous 360 slam dunk before the buzzer when the game was already over. There is one more matchup this season later in the month, so we shall see. The Warriors had their most complete game in an NBA Finals rematch against the Celtics. And sad news as longtime NBA player and coach, Paul Silas, passed away at the age of 73.

(47:45) As for what's happening on the ice, Kris Letang returns to the Penguins lineup, just twelve days after suffering his second stroke. The Pens are on a hot streak going 13-2-2 over the past 17 games. Alexander Ovechkin is now up to 797 goals, but the last four of them, have been empty netters. They do count, but some people feels they're cheapies. Are they right?

(50:22) Brittney Griner has finally made it to US soil late last week. It's been polarizing for a lot of citizens in this country regarding her exchange with the Merchant of Death, Viktor Bout and not have US Marine, Paul Whelan tag along with her. Will Griner be a catalyst, as she has stated, in doing her best to bring Whelan back home?

(54:31) We're now down to the Final Four in the World Cup as it's Morocco-France & Argentina-Croatia. Will the Cinderella Morocco team be able to get to a Final? Can France make it two in a row? And have a rematch against Croatia in the Final?

(3:30) MLB had a week to remember as plenty of teams were wheeling and dealing as the Winter Meetings conclude today in San Diego. Of course, the big story was Aaron Judge re-signing with the Yankees on a nine year/$360 million dollar deal. Did the Bronx Bombers overpay to keep their MVP in pinstripes? Not only that, how does the rest of the roster shape up as they try to get back to a World Series for the first time since 2009? The Padres made another splash acquisition signing former Red Sox SS Xander Bogaerts to an eleven year/$280 million dollar contract. Are the Padres out of control? What about the Red Sox? What do they do to pick up the pieces losing another core homegrown member of their team? I'll also discuss Justin Verlander, Trea Turner among many others that were signed this week throughout the sport.

(26:59) As NFL Week 14 is on the horizon, two intriguing storylines surfaced throughout the league. One, Bills LB Von Miller has been diagnosed with a torn ACL injury as he'll be out for the remainder of the season. How will this impact Buffalo's chances to get to a Super Bowl? Free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr, who has been in the news as he's made visits to New York (Giants), Dallas and Buffalo. But Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stressed that OBJ won't help in the short term because he doesn't look to be 100% healthy. What does this mean for Beckham as he tries to latch onto a team before the season is over? Also, would he have been a good fit in Dallas? Buffalo? Or back in NY? I'll look at the schedule this Sunday as we inch closer to the conclusion of the regular season.

(40:37) As the NBA passes the quarter mark of the year, a surprise is at the top of the Western Conference. No. It’s not the Lakers, the Warriors, the Suns or the Clippers as the current #1 seed. It’s the New Orleans Pelicans! Is it too early to think that they’ve arrived? The Celtics continue to roll throughout the Association as they have a Finals rematch awaiting vs. Golden State on Saturday. I’ll deliver all of the latest with what’s happening in the league.

(47:41) The NHL skates on into December as Alexander Ovechkin is five goals away from 800. Sabres forward, Tage Thompson scores five goals in a win last night vs. Columbus. Is Rangers coach, Gerard Gallant on the hot seat as the Blueshirts have underachieved to this point? The Penguins have played a lot better in the Metropolitan Division as they moved up considerably in the standings. And Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon will be out of the lineup for four weeks as the defending champs will not have their franchise player for some time.

(51:54) The World Cup will have its quarterfinals tomorrow and Saturday as we’re ten days away from the championship match. What will be the most fascinating semifinal/Final Four matchup?

(55:50) I have to pay respects to a legendary boxing referee as Mills Lane passed away at the age of 85.

(3:25) After briefly discussing Anthony Davis's 55 point barrage as the Lakers try to get back to .500, I kick off the podcast with an NFL Week 13 that had some intriguing matchups, but for the most part, left us wanting more. I'll get into my winners (i.e. Baltimore & San Francisco) and losers (i.e. Patriots, Commanders & Giants) of the week as the playoff picture starts to get a little clearer as we're into the month of December.

(26:07) Just when we thought that USC & TCU would win their conference championship games and solidify their spot in the college football playoff, they both lose (USC badly and inexcusably, after being up 17-3 then outscored 44-3. And TCU fought valiantly but lost in OT) So Ohio State takes over USC's #4 spot in the country, while TCU stays at #3. Did they deserve to stay at #3? I'll dissect all that happened over the weekend as I set the stage for the Final Four on New Year's Eve. I'll also get into the hire of Deion Sanders by the University of Colorado, what does this mean for him? The school? The PAC-12? And what he'll need to do there to be successful?

(42:12) Jacob deGrom is one of the first major free agents off the market as he signs with the Texas Rangers on a five year/185.5 million dollar contract. Is yours truly upset or hurt by his defection? More importantly, what are the Mets going to do to replace the two time Cy Young award winner? With the baseball winter meetings beginning today, what could be percolating as far as rumors are concerned over the next few days? (Hello, Aaron Judge!) Cooperstown will have a new member in the Hall of Fame as Fred McGriff was nominated by the contemporary baseball committee yesterday. Is he deserving of this honor? What about some of the other nominees on the list? (i.e. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Belle, etc.)

(53:13) The USA soccer team weren't able to upend Netherlands to move on in the World Cup. I'll recap their final game of the tournament, look at what's taken place (Germany and Belgium done, Lionel Messi's achievements, Brazil's key injuries, etc.) and look ahead to what we can possibly expect as we're less than two weeks from the championship match.

(1:00:09) Tyson Fury's comeback led him to a 10th round TKO over Derek Chisora. Now, he's calling out other fighters in his class as he's ready to resurrect his career after a few month layoff.

(3:10) A very intriguing NFL Week 13 schedule is upon us. Thursday night delivers a divisional matchup (Patriots-Bills) which is bigger for New England than Buffalo. Who would've thought the Commanders-Giants would have any playoff implications in December? As good as the Dolphins have been this year, their biggest test lies ahead as they'll play the next three games on the road (i.e. 49ers, Chargers and Bills) which will be telling as they try to capture the AFC East flag. A game that has nothing to do with the postseason, but everything to do with a reintroduction to the sport and expected drama as Browns QB Deshaun Watson visits his former team in Houston as he'll play his first game in almost two years. What kind of reception do you think he'll receive from the Texan faithful?

(17:15) It's conference championship weekend in college football, which means Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC are on the schedule? If any of them lose, especially TCU & USC, will they drop out of the top four, while Ohio State & Alabama back in?

(23:43) In the Association, there are a couple of key injuries to keep an eye on (T'wolves Karl Anthony Towns and the Nets Ben Simmons) both suffering calf strains, with Towns out 4-6 weeks, where Simmons is out for about a week. The Celtics continue to roll. The Suns have streaked to the top of the crowded Western Conference. The league is just getting warmed up as they have their sights set on the Christmas Day schedule, which I have a gripe with the NFL as they'll share air time with the NBA that day. I'll explain in great detail.

(31:20) The Seattle Kraken were involved in a rare, high scoring affair (9-8 in OT) against the Kings, but with the Bruins & Devils continuing their torrid winning ways, the NHL has been mostly quiet. Mitch Marner is a part of the Maple Leaf record book as he equaled the franchise's consecutive point scoring streak at 18. Then there's Pat Maroon turning a negative into a positive following comments by Boston Bruins announcer, Jack Edwards about his weight and donating money to charity because of it.

(37:25) The Yankees have reportedly offered Aaron Judge an eight year deal worth $300 million dollars. The AAV (annual average value) would be the highest in the sport. Does Judge agree and sign on the dotted line? Or does he use this as leverage to other potential suitors? Is he looking for more years? Money? The Astros continue to not rest of their championship laurels with a superb move as they sign free agent slugger, Jose Abreu to a three year deal. The first time ballot for Cooperstown 2023 Hall of Fame class was released. Headlining that is Carlos Beltran. Is he worthy to be enshrined in Cooperstown? There's also the contemporary baseball committee that'll decide on Sunday whether or not to include Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro, among others in the Hall. But there's one guy on that list who is MORE than deserving to be inducted in the Class of 2023.

(54:38) The World Cup transitions to the knockout round. The USA team will play Netherlands on Saturday with their best player, Christian Pulisic, compromised with an injury. Will they be able to overcome and move on to play either Argentina or Australia?

(58:02) Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champion of the world, is coming out of retirement to fight on Saturday. His reason for doing so is rather absurd. My rant says it all as I close out the pod.

(3:10) A very intriguing NFL Week 13 schedule is upon us. Thursday night delivers a divisional matchup (Patriots-Bills) which is bigger for New England than Buffalo.

(3:20) It wasn't a sexy Sunday slate in the NFL, but there were some compelling games (i.e. BAL-JAX, ATL-WSH, LAC-ARZ, LV-SEA that came down to the wire to impact the AFC & NFC playoff picture. I'll get into my winner (i.e. Cincinnati) and loser (i.e. Tampa Bay) of the week. I'll get into the early positioning in both conferences as we start to take a look at how the postseason may shape up with six more weeks to go.

(29:13) Michigan showed their rival Ohio State for the second year in a row, who is the boss of the Big Ten as they ran roughshod over the Buckeyes. Throw in a surprising loss to LSU which kicked them out of the running for the college football playoff. The four teams that would make it if the season ended today are Georgia, Michigan, TCU & USC. Does Ohio State still have a shot to sneak in? More importantly, is this the year for the Wolverines to make some noise to upend the defending champs in the Bulldogs?

(40:53) After sharing some brief thoughts on Ben Simmons's return to Philadelphia, the Western Conference in the NBA has become a log jam with the top eleven teams separated by only four games. That's right! Then there are the Lakers, starting to creep up in the West standings as they've won five of six (even with Patrick Beverley's inexplicable cheap shot which led to a three game suspension. And Russell Westbrook taking a shot by the Spurs Zach Collins). I'll go through what's going on in the Association as we're just about a quarter into the season.

(49:07) Hockey mourned the passing of Maple Leaf great, defenseman Borje Salming as he passed away at the age of 71. On the ice, things have been status quo (the Bruins and Devils continue to dominate). Is John Tortorella on the hot seat in Philadelphia? The Kraken have improved in their second year. And the Blues have turned their season around after losing eight in a row a few weeks back.

(53:56) All is quiet on the MLB Hot Stove front. There have been a couple of signings (Carlos Santana to PIT, Mike Clevinger to CWS) a trade (Angels acquire Hunter Renfroe from Milwaukee). As for the top free agents, including Aaron Judge, despite some rumors coming out of San Francisco about their meeting being positive, to me, it's much ado about nothing.

(58:21) There were a few upsets this past week in the World Cup (Argentina, Germany and Belgium lost), but the USA has a huge game vs. Iran to see if they can advance in the tournament as I keep you abreast of what's going on in Qatar as week two commences.

And their special teams in the final seconds against New England? In the postgame press conference, what was QB Zach Wilson thinking that made his teammates frustrated with him? How will coach Robert Saleh handle this? Could this potentially be a season defining scenario for a Jet team trying to find its way in a long season? Then there are the Giants with an inexcusable performance at home vs. Detroit. Even the Vikings were man-handled in shocking fashion by the Cowboys at home. I'll wrap up what took place in the league with a look to the Thursday Thanksgiving Day games on the schedule.

(34:54) Tennessee suffered not only losing their QB (Hendon Hooker) for the season, but their playoff hopes as they were destroyed at South Carolina. With both Michigan & TCU squeaking out last second victories, the only team in the mix for the playoff outside of Georgia, Ohio St. and Michigan would be USC after disposing of UCLA. How will this all take into shape? And is LSU a team on the fringe of making the Final Four?

(42:00) There have been a number of key injuries that have taken place in the Association over the past week (i.e. Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, to name a few) which we'll need to keep an eye on. Giannis Antetekoumpo had an issue with a ladder in Philadelphia? Is this news? Ehhhh, but I'll explain. Don't look now, but Ben Simmons is starting to heat up as he had his best game as a Net yesterday vs. Memphis. Next up: a date in Philadelphia as he'll face his former team for the first time since the trade last year.

(52:12) The NHL has been status quo for the past couple of weeks. The Bruins home start has been historic. The Devils have won 12 in a row. Besides Alexander Ovechkin's chase for 800 goals and beyond. Plus, Matt Tkachuk playing against his former team (Calgary. With the same for former Panthers forward, Jonathan Huberdeau), things on ice have been the same for the most part. Unless you live in the tri-state area and have a chance to see MVP, Connor McDavid as his Oilers will be in NY throughout the Thanksgiving week.

(55:25) MLB's Hot Stove has cooled a bit, although the Mets have reached out to discuss the services of AL Cy Young Justin Verlander. What about Jacob deGrom? Why I'm not in favor of Verlander coming to Queens? Are the Mariners interested in Yankee INF Gleyber Torres? Also, what's the latest with Aaron Judge returning to the Yanks? Is La La Land (i.e. the Dodgers) back on the Judge bandwagon to court the AL MVP?

(59:39) The World Cup has commenced. Even after my unfulfilling preview on Thursday, USA has their first game against Wales today. How big is this game for the Americans as England looms in their next matchup on Friday?

(3:03) NFL Week 11 has the Packers in the Thursday primetime spot vs. the Titans. After a come from behind win vs. the Cowboys on Sunday, do they have what it takes to go on a tear and put themselves in position to qualify for the playoffs? I'll do a deep dive on that, take a look at the schedule on Sunday and briefly touch on a potential of huge games come Week 13 and Thanksgiving Day a week from today.

(18:34) There are only two games to zero in on when it comes to college football on Saturday. Can UCLA put a damper on USC's playoff hopes as they host the Trojans in a rivalry setting? How about Baylor attempting to do the same to TCU as they continue to sit in their lofty perch of being one of the top four teams in the country?

(26:13) Is it time for concern in the Bay Area if you're the Warriors? They've have not won a road game to date (0-8) are currently 6-9 and spoiled a 50 point effort by Steph Curry last night in Phoenix. With the recent comments of Curry and coach Steve Kerr, is it possible that there's a disconnect in the locker room? Could this be the remnants of what took place toward the end of training camp when Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole? Kyrie Irving is expected back in the Nets lineup come Sunday since his suspension. Why has it taken longer than the five games that he sat out in order for him to get back on the court? I'll also talk about the defensive disgrace by the Nets vs. Sacramento, the sizzling Celtics and how the Jazz and Cavaliers have cooled off a bit.

(40:06) The NHL has been status quo when it comes to the torrid starts of the Bruins, Golden Knights and in particular, the Devils as they've currently won ten games in a row.

(40:58) The MLB Hot Stove is starting to heat up as we have a few signings and transactions (Yankees re-sign Anthony Rizzo, Angels sign P Tyler Anderson, Mariners acquire OF Teoscar Hernandez) but with free agent pitcher, fresh off of a Cy Young Award at 39 years of age, where will Justin Verlander sign as he's looking for a contract similar to the Mets Max Scherzer.

(48:08) Soccer fans unite! The World Cup finally arrives this Sunday. I'll have a VERY dumbed down preview of who are the favorites, a dark horse team and predict who'll become the champs when it's all said and done.

I'll do a deep dive on that, take a look at the schedule on Sunday and briefly touch on a potential of huge games come Week 13 and Thanksgiving Day a week from today.

(18:34) There are only two games to zero in on when it comes to college football on Saturday. Can UCLA put a damper on USC's playoff hopes as they host the Trojans in a rivalry setting? How about Baylor attempting to do the same to TCU as they continue to sit in their lofty perch of being one of the top four teams in the country?

(26:13) Is it time for concern in the Bay Area if you're the Warriors? They've have not won a road game to date (0-8) are currently 6-9 and spoiled a 50 point effort by Steph Curry last night in Phoenix. With the recent comments of Curry and coach Steve Kerr, is it possible that there's a disconnect in the locker room? Could this be the remnants of what took place toward the end of training camp when Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole? Kyrie Irving is expected back in the Nets lineup come Sunday since his suspension. Why has it taken longer than the five games that he sat out in order for him to get back on the court? I'll also talk about the defensive disgrace by the Nets vs. Sacramento, the sizzling Celtics and how the Jazz and Cavaliers have cooled off a bit.

(40:06) The NHL has been status quo when it comes to the torrid starts of the Bruins, Golden Knights and in particular, the Devils as they've currently won ten games in a row.

(40:58) The MLB Hot Stove is starting to heat up as we have a few signings and transactions (Yankees re-sign Anthony Rizzo, Angels sign P Tyler Anderson, Mariners acquire OF Teoscar Hernandez) but with free agent pitcher, fresh off of a Cy Young Award at 39 years of age, where will Justin Verlander sign as he's looking for a contract similar to the Mets Max Scherzer.

(48:08) Soccer fans unite! The World Cup finally arrives this Sunday. I'll have a VERY dumbed down preview of who are the favorites, a dark horse team and predict who'll become the champs when it's all said and done.

(3:04) The NFL FINALLY had its signature game of the season when two of the top teams in the league faced off in Buffalo where the Vikings win a wild, epic OT regular season thriller over the Bills. My take away from this is two fold. Should the Vikings be taken seriously? Are the Bills capable of closing out games against stiff competition? I'll discuss the Packers saving their season with a come from behind win vs. the Cowboys. I'll see what else took place yesterday throughout the sport (are the Giants for real in the NFC?), which was low-key for the most part. And I'll even take a look into my crystal ball to see what may come out of The Shield in the second half as they've gotten past the halfway point of the season.

(38:34) TCU hangs on to win at Texas as they'll keep up with the Georgias, Ohio States and Michigans of the world in college football. The only thing worth discussing is Oregon losing at home to Washington, therefore, forfeiting their right to be in the discussion when it comes to the College Football Playoff. And LSU wins a low scoring defensive struggle at Arkansas as they remain relevant in the hunt for the Final Four come New Year's Eve.

(41:07) The Association has been rather quiet (even with the Lakers snapping a losing streak and the Nets bringing back Kyrie Irving). The Celtics have been playing exceptionally well with Jayson Tatum taking his game to bigger heights. I'll get into the Warriors trying to get out of their early season malaise. The Cavaliers hitting the skids after an eight game winning streak.

(45:21) Vegas has been hot on the ice. They were winners of nine in a row after a victory in Buffalo on Thursday. Former Sabre Jack Eichel came away with a huge four point game (3 goals, 1 assist) against his former mates. But it's the Boston Bruins that have been the biggest surprise winning 14 of their first 16 games and 9-0 at home which is a franchise record. Another team that's been on fire are the Devils who have won nine in a row to date. Three extraordinary starts as we're more than one month into the NHL season.

(50:21) Is it time to crank up the MLB Hot Stove? It hasn't come close to heating up, but I'm taking the pulse of what could lie ahead. Could something start percolating around Thanksgiving? Next month's Winter Meetings? Dusty Baker did sign a one year deal to stay with the newly minted World Series Champion Astros. What about GM Jim Click? He turned down a one year deal to stay with the team, but declined. Was that a smart move by him? And yes, the Mets have deferred a lot of the money that closer Edwin Diaz will earn until the year...2042! Bobby Bonilla Day, Part 2, anyone? UGH! Not this guy! I could care less.

(53:58) A stunner in the MMA on Saturday night as Alex Pereira defeated Israel Adesanya in the fifth round by TKO to win the middleweight title. Did the referee prematurely end the bout? Is there a rematch in the making?

(3:25) As the second half of the NFL season approaches, Western New York is waiting with bated breath on the right elbow of Bills QB Josh Allen. It's uncertain if he'll start this Sunday against the Vikings as he suffered a UCL injury in the final moments vs. the Jets. What this could mean, not just for the AFC but for the rest of this season if he is compromised or, dare I say, unable to play because of it? I'll also get into the controversial hire in Indianapolis as Colts great Jeff Saturday, who has never coached on any level, succeeds Frank Reich as they try to get back to respectability. Then there's the Week 10 schedule which is nothing to write home about in an already abominable first half.

(21:26) A quiet week on the college football schedule is set for Saturday, except for one game. #4 ranked TCU visits #18 Texas in the biggest game for the school in ages. Will they continue to stay undefeated and keep themselves in the conversation for the College Football playoff?

(29:15) The Brooklyn Nets did the right thing by hiring interim coach, Jacque Vaughn on a full time basis. There would've been tremendous backlash if they were going to hire who many people thought was going to be the next coach in Ime Udoka. What is going on with the Utah Jazz as they've been by far the biggest surprise in the NBA to date. I'll take a look at some other surprises and disappointments (i.e. Warriors & Heat) as the first month of the season is almost in the books.

(39:57) Who would've thought both the Devils and Islanders are the top two teams in the Metropolitan Division at this point? I'll get into Evander Kane's gruesome injury, another return for Jack Eichel in Buffalo as his Golden Knights not only have an eight game winning streak, but have the best record in the sport. The Blues are in the midst of a similar streak but on the losing end. Is coach Craig Berube on the hot seat? I'll take a trip around the ice in the NHL to see what else is happening as one month of the season is completed.

(47:43) Don't look now, but college basketball is back. I'll go over who the top teams are in the country and break up the Hoyas, as Georgetown snapped its 21 game losing streak with a win over Coppin St.

(3:40) The Houston Astros have finally reached the MLB mountaintop after losing in 2019 and last year as they capture their second title in six years. I'll recap the final four games of the series. Are they a modern baseball dynasty? As for the Phillies, there were two moves by the manager, Rob Thomson, that'll make you question well into the winter of what could've been if he didn't pull his starters in Games 4 & 6. Now that the World Series is complete, we can focus in on free agency. The Mets have re-signed closer Edwin Diaz to a record breaking contract. Was he worth the nine figure deal?

(28:19) If you've listened to me over the weeks, months and years, you know I call it like I see it. As we approach the midway point of the NFL season, I wasn't going to wait another week to make this official. The first nine weeks have been an ABOMINATION! I go into great detail as to why that's the case and how this has been a season to forget. I'll share my thoughts on some of the key trades made at the deadline last week, the sale of the Washington Commanders, and the untimely deaths of Hall of Fame punter, Ray Guy. As well as, one time Hog of the Redskins offensive line, Dave Butz.

(47:26) Georgia showed the nation who's the #1 team in college football. They suffocated the Tennessee Volunteers offense as they shut down their high octane offense on Saturday. There was also a huge loss by the Clemson Tigers as they get bounced by Notre Dame and Alabama loses their second game of the year, and in all likelihood, a shot at the college football playoff. I'll take a look at the college landscape as to who'll be in the running to play in the Final Four come New Year's Eve.

(54:08) The NBA has a full blown soap opera that's running 24/7 it seems. It's called the Brooklyn Nets. The past week exemplified how from one day to the next, they've become a daily TV drama. From the firing of coach Steve Nash, to the rumors of signing former assistant and Celtics coach, Ime Udoka, the controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving posting on social media about a film with anti-semetic themes which led to a five game suspension, have made this franchise a three ring circus yet again. I'll talk about how well the Cavaliers have played after losing the first game and are on an eight game winning streak.

(1:04:56) The Bruins averted a public relations disaster as they signed, then released 2020 prospect Mitchell Miller, who was convicted of bullying and racially abusing a kid many years ago. Was this justified? The Penguins have hit the skids as they're mired in a seven game losing streak. Does Sidney Crosby and company still have what it takes to be an elite team? And congratulations on another goal scoring milestone to Alexander Ovechkin becoming the all time leader in goals scored for one franchise at 787.

SPREAKER: 4381clean306fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/astros-verlander-on-the-ropes-in-philly-
(3:05) The World Series is two games in and both the Phillies-Astros are tied at one apiece. Now the scene shifts to Philadelphia for the next three. What could we possibly expect? Can the Phillies continue their winning ways at home, where they haven't lost in the postseason? Could Justin Verlander be in a situation where he needs to take his team home to take a series lead or survive to see another day? Lots of fascinating and compelling storylines as Game 3 and the series picks up tonight.

(17:58) Who would've thought that in Week 8 of the NFL season the NFC would NOT have the Rams, Buccaneers and Packers at the top of the conference, let alone their respective divisions? I'll share my winners (49ers & Seahawks) and losers (Panthers & Jets) and throw some cold water on chasing points on senseless two-point conversions (i.e. Bears vs. Cowboys), the Vikings and Eagles as they've only lost one game between them this year. Don't worry, I'll fully explain why I feel a certain way about the two front runners in the NFC.

(48:51) College football was very low key this past Saturday. Ohio State took care of business against Penn State to stay at #2 in the country, but they do have some company as Tennessee is tied with the Buckeyes for the second best team in the nation. Tennessee goes to Georgia on Saturday in a Clash of the Titans in the sport. I'll get into some bad losses by Oklahoma State and Wake Forest, two teams at the bottom of the top 10 who were ambushed by Kansas State and Louisville, respectively.

(52:49) The Association ends the month with the Lakers finally getting a win, a losing streak and more issues with Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn, but the bigger story is the Milwaukee Bucks. They are the last undefeated team in the league. Are they also the best at this juncture of the early part of the season? I'll take a look at what else is going on throughout the NBA as we're almost three weeks in.

(59:06) On the ice, the Boston Bruins have been the league's best almost a month into the campaign. (Although the Golden Knights are right there with them at this point.) I'll skate through what's going on in the NHL, including the Arizona Coyotes are now playing their home games where? A college university? And what is it called?

(1:05:08) Jake Paul was victorious in an eight round bout over MMA legend, Anderson Silva on Saturday night. Should we take him seriously as a fighter who has ability, but hasn't faced an opponent in his weight class or ilk on a professional level?

On deck: (3:05) The World Series is two games in and both the...
(3:05) The World Series is two games in and both the Phillies-Astros are tied at one apiece. Now the scene shifts to Philadelphia for the next three. What could we possibly expect? Can the Phillies continue their winning ways at home, where they haven't lost in the postseason? Could Justin Verlander be in a situation where he needs to take his team home to take a series lead or survive to see another day? Lots of fascinating and compelling storylines as Game 3 and the series picks up tonight.

(17:58) Who would've thought that in Week 8 of the NFL season the NFC would NOT have the Rams, Buccaneers and Packers at the top of the conference, let alone their respective divisions? I'll share my winners (49ers & Seahawks) and losers (Panthers & Jets) and throw some cold water on chasing points on senseless two-point conversions (i.e. Bears vs. Cowboys), the Vikings and Eagles as they've only lost one game between them this year. Don't worry, I'll fully explain why I feel a certain way about the two front runners in the NFC.

(48:51) College football was very low key this past Saturday. Ohio State took care of business against Penn State to stay at #2 in the country, but they do have some company as Tennessee is tied with the Buckeyes for the second best team in the nation. Tennessee goes to Georgia on Saturday in a Clash of the Titans in the sport. I'll get into some bad losses by Oklahoma State and Wake Forest, two teams at the bottom of the top 10 who were ambushed by Kansas State and Louisville, respectively.

(52:49) The Association ends the month with the Lakers finally getting a win, a losing streak and more issues with Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn, but the bigger story is the Milwaukee Bucks. They are the last undefeated team in the league. Are they also the best at this juncture of the early part of the season? I'll take a look at what else is going on throughout the NBA as we're almost three weeks in.

(59:06) On the ice, the Boston Bruins have been the league's best almost a month into the campaign. (Although the Golden Knights are right there with them at this point.) I'll skate through what's going on in the NHL, including the Arizona Coyotes are now playing their home games where? A college university? And what is it called?

(1:05:08) Jake Paul was victorious in an eight round bout over MMA legend, Anderson Silva on Saturday night. Should we take him seriously as a fighter who has ability, but hasn't faced an opponent in his weight class or ilk on a professional level?

(3:05) The World Series stage is set as the Phillies will invade Houston on Friday and Saturday night to play Games 1 & 2. I'll have all of the juicy storylines, the road for the AL & NL Champions to this point and predict who'll win the Fall Classic? There's also been some news regarding impending free agent, Aaron Judge, as rumors of the Dodgers being a participant in the sweepstakes of the Yankee slugger. Was this too soon? Speaking of the Yankees, it's been reported that manager, Aaron Boone will return for his sixth season in pinstripes. Is Brian Cashman not to far behind in joining him as his contract is up? And why did the Yankees use the 2004 Red Sox for motivation as they were down 0-3 vs. the Astros in the ALCS?

(30:44) NFL Week 8 is another snoozefest of a schedule, although the Thursday night matchup (Ravens at Buccaneers) is intriguing. If things broke right, you can have all four teams in the NFC South tied for first place with 3-5 records! I'll touch on some of the big stories that took place this week (Colts Matt Ryan benched for Sam Ehlinger, Matt Jones starting for the Patriots and the Jets trading for RB James Robinson) as we get through a bore of a slate and into November.

(39:30) College football's schedule is just about the same, although you do have #2 Ohio State visiting 13th ranked Penn St. Do the Nittany Lions have a shot to upset the Buckeyes and throw a wrinkle into the playoff discussion?

(42:15) Nine days into the NBA season has (who else?) the Lakers and Nets being the talk of the league. Is there concern over the Lakers 0-4 start? What about the Nets beginning their season at 1-3? Kyrie Irving is telling Ben Simmons to shoot! Do we have to keep our eye on that development? I'll take a look at the landscape throughout the Association as to what's the latest and greatest.

(52:13) Golden Knights Phil Kessel is your new NHL ironman as he eclipsed the record just recently held by longtime defenseman, Keith Yandle. Is this a record that should be cherished? I'll also get into what else is happening on the ice as the season is barely three weeks old.

(3:51) The stage is set as we have our World Series matchup beginning on Friday. The Phillies swept their three home games as they dispose of the Padres in five. I compare this to a recent Wild Card playoff team and how they've been hot ever since the tournament started. The NLCS MVP Bryce Harper finally makes it to his first Fall Classic as I'll chronicle his career to this point. As for the Padres, it was a good year and one to build on, but there are a couple of question marks that need to be answered as they have to deal with their suspended star shortstop (Fernando Tatis Jr.) and the specter of Juan Soto's expensive contract demands looming.

(17:28) The Astros continue their postseason dominance, starting off 7-0 as they sweep the Yankees in the ALCS. They've won it close. They've won high scoring games. Coming from behind. They look like a team that's primed and ready for a championship. Then, there are the Yankees. Tons of uncertainty as the GM Brian Cashman's contract is up. Who could possibly be in line to take over? I have a fascinating suggestion. Also, a breakdown of the organization from the manager, some players that need to go, (including one of their younger, core players) and what happens to Aaron Judge, now that he'll become a free agent?

(40:35) A rather lackluster NFL Week 7 took place, but there is a huge question regarding two of the sports biggest teams (i.e. Packers & Buccaneers) as to who is in worse shape moving forward? That duo highlights my losers of the week and I'll share a surprising winner of Sunday as I take a look the games unfolded as we creep up on the halfway point of the season. I'll also share my thoughts on the Christian McCaffrey trade to San Francisco. Will his addition automatically make them a Super Bowl contender?

(1:01:34) Clemson survived a scare at home vs. Syracuse as they had to overcome multiple turnovers and their backup QB Cade Klubnik had to save the day as the pull out a 27-21 win. You had two more at the bottom of the top 10 drop out after losses (i.e. Ole Miss & UCLA) as we move deeper into this college football season.

(1:05:09) The Lakers and Sixers have gotten off to sluggish starts as they're both 0-3. Is Doc Rivers in any trouble in Philadelphia? How about the Blazers and Jazz? Both are off to 3-0 starts, making me look like a fool early on as I chose them as unders this year. Plus, the Pelicans suffered their first loss last night, but in the process lost Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson to injury. Is this a cause for concern just a few games into the season?

(1:08:32) There are a couple of big injuries to some high profile players in the NHL. Avalanche forward, Gabriel Landeskog will be out three months due to arthroscopic knee surgery. And Panthers defenseman, Aaron Ekblad is on long term IR with a groin injury. How much will they be missed from their respective teams?

(3:44) It was another wild weekend of baseball as three of the Division Series have concluded. The two big stories were the 111 regular season winning Dodgers quietly exiting out of the postseason, to go along with the NL East champion Braves in four games to the Padres and Phillies, respectively. I'll share some critique as to how high the expectations were and how much both teams fell short, while highlighting the surging NLCS teams and who'll represent the National League in the World Series. As for the American League, the Astros beat the Mariners in 'four games', considering they won a Game 3 in a sweep that took 18 innings to complete. Then, there are the Yankees and Guardians as they'll play in a do or die Game 5 at Yankee Stadium tonight to get to the ALCS. I'll have a prediction and a scenario for either team if they face off against the Astros as to who'll come out of the AL. I'll spend a moment on the passing of Hall of Fame closer, Bruce Sutter, who died at the age of 69 late last week.

(21:29) As crazy the city of Philadelphia is over their baseball team, the football team has been perfect so far in 2022. Currently 6-0, the Eagles have been the class of the NFC to date. Even with the Giants breathing down their necks in the division and have already beaten the 5-1 Vikings this year, is it possible with an easy schedule that they have a clear path to the #1 seed in the conference? I'll recap Week 6 with my winners (Buffalo, Atlanta) and losers (Green Bay. Don't worry Jet fans, I got you & Cleveland) as I go through yesterday's slate of games.

(40:17) Alabama falls out of the top four after a wild, high scoring affair in Knoxville vs. Tennessee. I'll have an early take as to what this loss for the Crimson Tide could mean for the college football playoff at the end of the year. Is Alabama done? Do they control their own destiny? I'll also take a look at USC's tough loss in the closing seconds. Oklahoma State drops out of the top 10 losing to TCU and Michigan keeps on trucking after they dismantled Penn State.

(50:02) The NBA season is upon us as it tips off tomorrow night. I'll have all of the intriguing storylines heading into the campaign. I'll breakdown each division, predict my over/under win totals for the year and who'll be in the NBA Finals in June and come out on top. NOTE: My Finals prediction comes during my wrap up segment at the end of the podcast.

The two big stories were the 111 regular season winning Dodgers quietly exiting out of the postseason, to go along with the NL East champion Braves in four games to the Padres and Phillies, respectively. I'll share some critique as to how high the expectations were and how much both teams fell short, while highlighting the surging NLCS teams and who'll represent the National League in the World Series. As for the American League, the Astros beat the Mariners in 'four games', considering they won a Game 3 in a sweep that took 18 innings to complete. Then, there are the Yankees and Guardians as they'll play in a do or die Game 5 at Yankee Stadium tonight to get to the ALCS. I'll have a prediction and a scenario for either team if they face off against the Astros as to who'll come out of the AL. I'll spend a moment on the passing of Hall of Fame closer, Bruce Sutter, who died at the age of 69 late last week.

(21:29) As crazy the city of Philadelphia is over their baseball team, the football team has been perfect so far in 2022. Currently 6-0, the Eagles have been the class of the NFC to date. Even with the Giants breathing down their necks in the division and have already beaten the 5-1 Vikings this year, is it possible with an easy schedule that they have a clear path to the #1 seed in the conference? I'll recap Week 6 with my winners (Buffalo, Atlanta) and losers (Green Bay. Don't worry Jet fans, I got you & Cleveland) as I go through yesterday's slate of games.

(40:17) Alabama falls out of the top four after a wild, high scoring affair in Knoxville vs. Tennessee. I'll have an early take as to what this loss for the Crimson Tide could mean for the college football playoff at the end of the year. Is Alabama done? Do they control their own destiny? I'll also take a look at USC's tough loss in the closing seconds. Oklahoma State drops out of the top 10 losing to TCU and Michigan keeps on trucking after they dismantled Penn State.

(50:02) The NBA season is upon us as it tips off tomorrow night. I'll have all of the intriguing storylines heading into the campaign. I'll breakdown each division, predict my over/under win totals for the year and who'll be in the NBA Finals in June and come out on top. NOTE: My Finals prediction comes during my wrap up segment at the end of the podcast.

(3:29) MLB is onto the Division Series as both leagues are in full swing. The Phillies were unable to take a commanding 2-0 series lead as the scene shifts to Philadelphia for Games 3 & 4, tied at one apiece. How important is Game 3 for the Phillies to upset the defending World Champs? As for the Padres-Dodgers, San Diego was able to get the equalizer after losing Game 1, now that the series goes down the turnpike to Petco Park. In the AL, it's simple. Can the Guardians muster up any offense vs. the Yankees lineup? And can the Mariners rebound from a gut punch defeat as they lost in walk-off fashion to the Astros in Game 1? Also, has the six day layoff hurt or helped the bye teams heading into the Division Series?

(21:01) Recent reports out of Washington, DC has alleged that Commanders owner, Daniel Snyder, has hired private investigators from a law firm to dig up 'dirt' on other owners in the league. Whether true or false, is it time for the NFL to step in and get rid of Snyder? I'll look at why the league needs to nip these recent insane roughing the passer penalties in the bud ASAP? There's a huge showdown on the Week 6 schedule in Kansas City as the Bills will invade Arrowhead in an important matchup that could decide home field in the AFC. Which team does it mean the most to come Sunday afternoon? Plus, Dallas at Philadelphia (Why Dak Prescott should NOT return for this game?) and the rest of this weekends' slate.

(37:14) A meaningful Saturday for the college football playoff looms large as #10 Penn State visits #5 Michigan. Even bigger is #3 Alabama going to #8 Tennessee to play the Volunteers with or without their Heisman Trophy winning QB in Bryce Young. What a Crimson Tide loss could do to upset the balance of the discussion surrounding the college football playoff?

(42:07) The NBA season is forthcoming. I'll get into a few of the over/under win totals for the year. I'll put to bed the latest on the Draymond Green incident with Jordan Poole. Could there be any carryover into the early part of the regular season as they defend their title?

(46:31) The NHL has dropped the puck on a new campaign as the Rangers are off and flying with a win over the Lightning, while the Avalanche raise their championship banner to the rafters, receiving their rings in the process that look like it came out of a Steven Spielberg movie.

(3:01) The MLB Wild Card weekend is in the books. Saturday's Game 2's (Guardians walk off in 15 innings with the only run of the game, Mariners comeback from 7 run deficit, Phillies blank Cards amid some late rallies by St. Louis) were thrilling and unexpected, to say the least. Of course, there are the Mets (starting at 10:13) who flopped in a decisive Game 3 vs. San Diego. You know I'll put to rest the 2022 version of this god forsaken baseball team as I have a message for the Met fan. I'll get into the top storylines of the Division Series and preview the four series to see who'll play on to the championship series in each league.

(35:07) We're five weeks into the NFL season, and to yours truly, I feel that it's been underwhelming to date. I'll share my winners (i.e. Giants, Texans) and losers (i.e. Rams and a combination of Lions, Panthers, Commanders & Steelers) I'll take a look at the landscape of the not so good Week 5 schedule and the concussion protocol gets a facelift due to the fallout of Tua Tagovailoa's injury a couple of weeks back.

(51:43) Alabama may have sweated out a victory vs. Texas A&M, but they dropped not one, but two spots in the rankings as both Georgia and Ohio State leapfrog the Crimson Tide in the latest polls. Also, do we have to take notice of what's going on in Southern California? No. Not USC, but UCLA as the Bruins beat the Utes to move closer to the top 10.

(54:24) A new NHL campaign is here as the season started on Friday (in Czech Republic) but begins in earnest tomorrow night with the Lightning playing the Rangers at MSG. I'll divulge what the major storylines are for the 2022-23 season, I'll preview the league, go through the divisions, share my over/under point totals for the first time ever on the podcast and who'll play in the Stanley Cup Final come June next year.

(3:00) The time has come. The MLB postseason is just about here. It's the eve of the wild card weekend as I'll preview the four series (TB-CLE, PHI-STL, SEA-TOR & SD-NYM) look at the top storylines (Oh! The Mets are one of them, of course!) and predict who'll move on to the Division Series next week? I'll revise my World Series pick, go through my over/under win totals for the year and some manager news in Chicago (White Sox) Anaheim and KC to close out the baseball segment.

(31:40) NFL Week 5 is upon us. I'll recap the Rams rough loss in San Francisco on Monday night and the possibility of it being a long year for the Super Bowl Champions. I'll peek at the upcoming schedule this Sunday. It doesn't seem to be a thrilling slate with the Cowboys-Rams and Bengals-Ravens being the top games of the week.

(38:31) College football this Saturday doesn't have the same appeal as last week. One game to keep an eye on is Tennessee playing at LSU, which is a big test for the Volunteers, but even bigger for LSU coach, Brian Kelly. Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher will compete against Nick Saban in Alabama Saturday night after feuding this past summer over recruiting. Will they be cordial? Or could there be a chance Saban runs up the score?

(42:16) The NBA preseason is in full swing. Draymond Green is in the news as he punches fellow teammate, Jordan Poole during practice. Is this something that we'll have to keep an eye on with the defending champs? And an NBA team in Vegas? LeBron James would like to see it. Is it a possibility?

(45:21) Then there's the NHL as the season will begin tomorrow in Prague, Czech Republic between the Sharks-Predators. I'll go through the over/under point totals as I'll choose six of them on Monday's podcast. And give kudos to the Islanders signing Mathew Barzal to a long term contract

(3:02) The Mets stick it to their legion of fans (including yours truly) yet again, as they get swept in Atlanta over the weekend. In the process, they hand over the NL East, where they've led all but three days the entire season. I'll go through the carnage of a lost weekend in the ATL. Why did they tinker with the rotation? What this probably means for the Mets moving forward as they come down to the final three games of the regular season. I'll also get into the NL Wild Card race, Aaron Judge's quest for 62 and Albert Pujols continues to tack on to his 700 home run total.

(29:11) NFL Week 4 was relatively quiet. Not a lot of exciting games or outcomes that we can get into. I'll share my winners (Las Vegas & Tennessee) and losers (Miami's medical staff/NFL on how they handled Tua Tagovailoa's health & Baltimore) Plus, I'll survey the league and go through what took place yesterday. Also, has the Kenny Pickett era begun in Pittsburgh as he injected some life into the offense, but made a key mistake in their loss to the Jets.

(51:42) College football had a very interesting Saturday as Georgia staves off their first loss at Missouri. They do lose their spot as the #1 team in the nation. Alabama leapfrogs over the Bulldogs with a win at Arkansas. The big story is the health of the right shoulder of Heisman Trophy QB, Bryce Young. How will that play out for the rest of the season will be one to watch? You had some tough losses for Kentucky, Texas A&M, Baylor and Oklahoma as they drop in the Top 25 while Oklahoma St, Tennessee and Ole Miss move up.

(56:11) The NHL season begins this Friday in Prague, Czech Republic between the Sharks-Predators. I'll delve into my over/under point totals for the upcoming season next Monday. And a key injury to the Maple Leafs as they look to rebound from last years disappointing first round exit in the playoffs.

(59:22) A few quick notes from the NBA (Heat extend Tyler Herro, Celtics sign Blake Griffin and some crude dialogue is what did in Celtic coach, Ime Udoka as he was suspended for the year).

(3:02) The Mets stick it to their legion of fans (including yours truly) yet again, as they get swept in Atlanta over the weekend. In the process, they hand over the NL East, where they've led all but three days the entire season. I'll go through the carnage of a lost weekend in the ATL. Why did they tinker with the rotation? What this probably means for the Mets moving forward as they come down to the final three games of the regular season. I'll also get into the NL Wild Card race, Aaron Judge's quest for 62 and Albert Pujols continues to tack on to his 700 home run total.

(29:11) NFL Week 4 was relatively quiet. Not a lot of exciting games or outcomes that we can get into. I'll share my winners (Las Vegas & Tennessee) and losers (Miami's medical staff/NFL on how they handled Tua Tagovailoa's health & Baltimore) Plus, I'll survey the league and go through what took place yesterday. Also, has the Kenny Pickett era begun in Pittsburgh as he injected some life into the offense, but made a key mistake in their loss to the Jets.

(51:42) College football had a very interesting Saturday as Georgia staves off their first loss at Missouri. They do lose their spot as the #1 team in the nation. Alabama leapfrogs over the Bulldogs with a win at Arkansas. The big story is the health of the right shoulder of Heisman Trophy QB, Bryce Young. How will that play out for the rest of the season will be one to watch? You had some tough losses for Kentucky, Texas A&M, Baylor and Oklahoma as they drop in the Top 25 while Oklahoma St, Tennessee and Ole Miss move up.

(56:11) The NHL season begins this Friday in Prague, Czech Republic between the Sharks-Predators. I'll delve into my over/under point totals for the upcoming season next Monday. And a key injury to the Maple Leafs as they look to rebound from last years disappointing first round exit in the playoffs.

(59:22) A few quick notes from the NBA (Heat extend Tyler Herro, Celtics sign Blake Griffin and some crude dialogue is what did in Celtic coach, Ime Udoka as he was suspended for the year).

(5:45) After I explain why October is one of the best sports months of the year and a brief rundown of what to expect on the podcast, I get into history being made in Toronto as Aaron Judge has tied Roger Maris for the all time Yankee and American League single season home run record. Is the pressure off now that he's tied the record? Will he surpass Roger Maris on the final homestand over the weekend? Then, there are the Mets. Looking listless as they were about to get swept by the Marlins, down 4-0 in the bottom of the 7th, they came roaring back to win 5-4 in 10 innings to re-take the NL East lead over the Braves. Now they head to Atlanta with the division on the line as they'll go head to head with their rivals to see who'll have the leg up to get a bye in the first round of the postseason. I'll discuss the AL wild card race (not much happening) and the NL (lots happening) as Milwaukee may have the inside track with an easy schedule down the stretch to sneak into October, while the Phillies have all road games the rest of the way, including three down in Houston to close out the regular season.

(24:50) With just about a quarter into the NFL season, the Week 4 schedule has a few good games. We have a good start to the weekend with Miami visiting Cincinnati in the Thursday night game. But the big one is Sunday night in Tampa (or not, due to Hurricane Ian) where the Buccaneers will host the Chiefs. There's a possibility that the game could be moved to Minneapolis because of what the storm may do to that part of the city. How a different locale to this Super Bowl rematch could end up being a disappointment for the viewer at home? Plus, the rest of the schedule including the first game in London between the Vikings and Saints and why I'm not a fan of those games?

(34:51) There are a few interesting college football games on the docket this week. Michigan-Iowa is one to keep an eye on. Same for Alabama-Arkansas. Even Oklahoma St.-Baylor, Kentucky-Ole Miss and can NC State hang tight with Clemson on Saturday night as two teams in the top 10 go at it?

(38:56) Training camps have opened up throughout the NBA. I'll share some early thoughts on the reunion in Brooklyn with Steve Nash & Kevin Durant, the Ben Simmons factor on this Nets team. Is there a rift between Suns coach Monty Williams and center DeAndre Ayton? Could this be a breakout season for Zion Williamson and the Pelicans? Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is facing another surgery to his already surgically repaired knee. How that will bode well for him and his teams fortune this upcoming season?

(46:16) And the NHL preseason has begun as the regular season will begin next Friday in Prague, between the Predators and Sharks, with October 11th being Opening Night for the 2022-23 campaign.

(5:30) MLB is in the homestretch as we're just nine days away from the conclusion of the season. I begin by acknowledging the achievement of Albert Pujols as he is the fourth player in baseball history to hit 700 home runs. We're still waiting on Aaron Judge to match the AL & Yankee team record of 61 as he was unable to hit one out of the park over his last five games. Is the pressure starting to mount for the future league MVP? The Guardians clinch the AL Central for the first time since 2019. Can they be a sleeper this postseason? The Mets and Braves are gearing up for a big series that will determine who'll win the NL East. I'll talk about who they'll play leading up to Friday's armageddon. And I'll have an up to the minute assessment on the AL/NL wild card mix as we get closer to October baseball.

(22:08) NFL Week 3 was nothing much to write home about although you had a couple of surprises, which lead into the weeks winners (i.e. Colts & Eagles) and losers (i.e. Chargers & Buccaneers) You had a defensive struggle but an eyesore of a Sunday night game between the 49ers and Broncos. The Dolphins win a big game vs. the Bills. The Raiders are the only 0-3 team in football. And when will the Steelers see Kenny Pickett starting in place of Mitch Trubisky? We can say goodbye to the Pro Bowl, but now we have to deal with The Pro Bowl Games? And worse, a flag football Pro Bowl? And who is your halftime performer for Super Bowl LVII? It's one that a lot of people will be anticipating, that's for sure.

(45:12) College football has some more turnover in the top 10 as both #6 Oklahoma and #10 Arkansas both drop out with key losses. Clemson survived with a double overtime win at Wake Forest, but what about their defense moving forward? Also, what teams are laying in the weeds that could be part of the discussion for the college football playoff just a month into their season?

(51:17) Disgraced Celtics coach, Ime Udoka, has been suspended for a year due to violating an organizational policy for engaging in a relationship with a staff member. There actually may be more to the story than just that. If so, should Udoka be terminated?

(5:00) After a brief outline of what to expect on the podcast, I dive right into the Aaron Judge home run milestone chase as he sits as 60, just one away from tying Roger Maris on the Yankee and American League single season record. But there's an even bigger question to ask as the postseason looms. Will his performance in October dictate his worth and what he'll get on the free agent market? Then there's the NL East battle that'll come down to the wire between the Mets & Braves as armageddon awaits. I'll discuss Max Scherzer being pulled after six perfect innings. Was it the right move? The Guardians are on the cusp of winning a division and the rest of the wild card pennant chase as we're less than two weeks away from concluding the regular season.

(22:14) NFL Week 3 is here. I'll share my thoughts on everyone jumping on the Bills bandwagon after the first two games of the young season. Mitchell Trubisky has a huge game in store tonight when the Steelers visit the Browns in Cleveland. I'll go through the schedule and get into the first year honorees for the Hall of Fame as Darrelle Revis, Dwight Freeney, Joe Thomas and others headline the Class of 2023.

(32:26) I'll peek at the upcoming Week 4 schedule in college football. Doesn't look to be appealing, but could more upsets be in store?

(35:37) Training camps throughout the NHL open up today. Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon coming off of a Stanley Cup victory is now the highest paid player in the league on an annual average. There were a couple of defensemen who have retired in the sport (i.e. PK Subban and Zdeno Chara) as I give them a nice sendoff.

(39:50) Suns owner Robert Sarver has announced that he's going to sell the team in the midst of a year suspension and fine for inappropriate behavior in the workplace. In a shocking development, Celtics coach Ime Udoka is facing a suspension himself for violating the teams policy engaging in a relationship within the organization. It's possible that he may face a whole season having to sit out. Is it too harsh of a penalty?

LUMINARY: 2918cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/guardians-in-control-mets-braves-nl-east
(4:45) The MLB season has come into the home stretch. The Guardians have control over the AL Central. They can really put a stranglehold in the division as the Twins and White Sox are on the schedule this week. The NL East will come down to its final games. The Mets now go to Milwaukee after a four game sweep over the Pirates, while the Braves come off of a sweep themselves at the hands of the Phillies and have the lowly Nationals come into Atlanta this week. Will the Mets still be in first place come Thursday? I'll peek at what's happening in the AL & Wild Card race, as well as, another race to some major milestones. Both Aaron Judge and Albert Pujols are two home runs away from tying the AL HR mark (and Yankees too) set by Roger Maris and 700 HR's for a career respectively.

(18:03) There were some remarkable comebacks by three road teams in the NFL yesterday that highlight the winners & losers segment of Week 2. The Dolphins and Jets headline the winners as they come back from a 21 point fourth quarter deficit and a 13 point deficit with less than two minutes to go respectively. As for the Colts (who were shutout at Jacksonville) and Raiders, who coughed up a 20-0 halftime lead in a 29-23 overtime loss to Arizona at home, they were clearly the losers of the week. I know the Niner fan is happy that Jimmy Garoppolo is now the starting quarterback after Trey Lance suffered a season ending broken ankle. Why luck prevailed, sadly to injury, for the Niners to still have a big season? But remember, he was pretty much discarded like yesterday's newspaper. I'll recap the rest of the schedule as we wrap up the week with a doubleheader tonight (TEN-BUF, MIN-PHI).

(39:27) Week 3 in college football was rather ho-hum, although you had a couple of good bounce back wins as Oregon and Texas A&M rebound from early season defeats. Could they still be part of the college football playoff discussion?

(42:59) Canelo Alvarez unanimously defeats Gennady Golovkin to retain the super middleweight title this past Saturday. Did it live up to the pre-fight hype?

(44:59) Roger Federer calls is a career as he retires from the sport of tennis. I'll take a look back on his illustrious career and where does he rank all time, especially with his contemporaries Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, with whom he battled against for several years.

On deck: (4:45) The MLB season has come into the home stretch. The Guardians have...
(4:45) The MLB season has come into the home stretch. The Guardians have control over the AL Central. They can really put a stranglehold in the division as the Twins and White Sox are on the schedule this week. The NL East will come down to its final games. The Mets now go to Milwaukee after a four game sweep over the Pirates, while the Braves come off of a sweep themselves at the hands of the Phillies and have the lowly Nationals come into Atlanta this week. Will the Mets still be in first place come Thursday? I'll peek at what's happening in the AL & Wild Card race, as well as, another race to some major milestones. Both Aaron Judge and Albert Pujols are two home runs away from tying the AL HR mark (and Yankees too) set by Roger Maris and 700 HR's for a career respectively.

(18:03) There were some remarkable comebacks by three road teams in the NFL yesterday that highlight the winners & losers segment of Week 2. The Dolphins and Jets headline the winners as they come back from a 21 point fourth quarter deficit and a 13 point deficit with less than two minutes to go respectively. As for the Colts (who were shutout at Jacksonville) and Raiders, who coughed up a 20-0 halftime lead in a 29-23 overtime loss to Arizona at home, they were clearly the losers of the week. I know the Niner fan is happy that Jimmy Garoppolo is now the starting quarterback after Trey Lance suffered a season ending broken ankle. Why luck prevailed, sadly to injury, for the Niners to still have a big season? But remember, he was pretty much discarded like yesterday's newspaper. I'll recap the rest of the schedule as we wrap up the week with a doubleheader tonight (TEN-BUF, MIN-PHI).

(39:27) Week 3 in college football was rather ho-hum, although you had a couple of good bounce back wins as Oregon and Texas A&M rebound from early season defeats. Could they still be part of the college football playoff discussion?

(42:59) Canelo Alvarez unanimously defeats Gennady Golovkin to retain the super middleweight title this past Saturday. Did it live up to the pre-fight hype?

(44:59) Roger Federer calls is a career as he retires from the sport of tennis. I'll take a look back on his illustrious career and where does he rank all time, especially with his contemporaries Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, with whom he battled against for several years.

(4:28) What has happened to the Mets recently? Not only have they stopped hitting, but they're letting bad teams (i.e. Cubs) come into their building and sweeping them! They still hold a slim margin in the division, but this frustrated and angry fan will go in on them wondering if they're feeling the effects of a long season and are crawling to the finish line. The Guardians are on the cusp of winning the AL Central. It is all in front of them over the next eight days as they'll play the White Sox and Twins. Also, Aaron Judge's quest for 61 as he hit two more home runs the other night vs. Boston. You'll be brought up to speed on the Wild Card races in the AL & NL as we're less than three weeks from the season concluding.

(24:58) The Chargers head into Arrowhead Stadium to face the Chiefs highlight a so-so Week 2 schedule in the NFL. I'll also take a look at Buccaneers at Saints. An overrated Bears-Packers rivalry. Not just one, but two Monday night games and they overlap one another! I'll explain my distaste for this particular format and how the rest of the slate shapes up this weekend.

(33:02) Week 3 in college football is pretty much weak sauce schedule wise. I miss psuedo-marquee ESPN Thursday night game, which used to have good matchups a decade and a half ago as you ease yourself into Saturday. Why that's no longer the case?

(36:20) Phoenix Suns owner, Robert Sarver was suspended by the NBA for a year and fined ten million dollars. Was the punishment light? Should he have been suspended? And what about the NFL's dealing with Daniel Snyder? Why hasn't The Shield done anything with the disgraced Washington Commanders owner?

(4:41) NFL Week 1 was in mid-season form, but there was plenty of sloppy play as teams were shaking off the cobwebs as most of the front line starters were getting their first taste of action this year. I'll discuss my winners (i.e. New Orleans & NY Giants) losers (i.e. Cincinnati & San Francisco) and go through the slate of games that kicked off the 2022 campaign.

(35:34) College football had a quiet week for the most part, but it was Upset Central for the likes of the sports biggest programs in Notre Dame, Texas A&M and Nebraska. Even Alabama had a big scare against the Longhorns in Texas, but got out of dodge with a last second field goal to win 20-19.

(40:51) The pennant races in baseball have cooled off a little bit if you're in New York (Mets & Yankees) and Cleveland (Guardians) as there is a little breathing room among the NL East, AL East and AL Central leading teams. I'll also touch in on the latest Wild Card race as the Orioles look to be done as they've fallen off a bit down the stretch. And how about Albert Pujols? He's now three home runs away from 700. Let's just hope the sports media and news cycles are paying attention!

(50:23) The US Open concluded the Grand Slam tournaments for 2022 in fine fashion as 19 year old star, Carlos Alcaraz, not only wins the men's side of the Open, but is ranked #1 in the world because of it. Was it an all-time Open performance? I also give props to Iga Swiatek who won on the women's side as she claimed her second Slam win this year and third overall.

(5:20) The NFL is back! I'll preview the upcoming season, dissect the major storylines, breakdown the divisions, my predictions for over/under win totals, a knockout pick, take a look at the Week 1 schedule, and of course, my Super Bowl pick as we raise the curtain on the 2022 campaign. I'll also peek at the Week 2 college football schedule, which is a rather quiet one at first glance.

(46:47) Some intensity has surprisingly seeped into the pennant races as the Mets were caught by the Braves, but not surpassed after a must doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Pirates. The Orioles wild card chances look to be on life support after losing three out of four to the Blue Jays. The Yankees have found their tonic (i.e. the Twins) as Aaron Judge continues his torrid home run pace. The president of the Bombers, Randy Levine, has called Judge "an all-time Yankee". What does this mean as his impending free agency will be the talk of the town once a champion is crowned?

(52:56) An epic five set, five hour and fifteen minute match that lasted until 2:50am in which Carlos Alcaraz advances in the US Open. Will he have enough tank in the gas to beat an American upstart in Frances Tiafoe? As for the women's side, Iga Swiatek looks to have an inside track on winning her second major of the year. Or will she be upset along the way?

(56:16) Lakers guards Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley are in the honeymoon phase in Los Angeles as both players have mended fences after their long standing feud on the court. Will this continue to last?

(6:28) After a birthday shout out to my brother and a brief description of what to expect on the podcast, I go in on the division races in baseball that all of a sudden has some teeth to it. The Guardians are hanging for dear life in an AL Central that has the Twins and White Sox nipping at their heels. The Mets are now one game ahead of the Braves in the NL East. What would it mean for the psyche if the do blow this lead? Then, there's the Yankees. Is it possible that they could choke the AL East away? What about the status of the manager, Aaron Boone if they don't get to an ALCS? I'll bring you up to date on all that's happening with the pennant races. I'll even take a peek at my over/under numbers to see where I'm at as we're a month away from the season concluding. And Albert Pujols is five home runs away from 700 for his career. What the sports media needs to do if he does achieve this before the season is complete?

(34:23) Serena Williams fought hard, but bowed out of the third round of the US Open in all likelihood, concluding her tennis career. Or not? I'll explain why she should walk away. I'll get into who's left on the women's side of the draw, Nick Kyrgios's upset of top seed, Daniil Medvedev and which men could be the last two standing as we get closer to the end of the final Grand Slam of the year.

(41:32) College football is back as I'll highlight the big games over the weekend. (i.e. Georgia pounding Oregon, Ohio St. prevailing over the Fighting Irish. Utah couldn't seal the deal vs. Florida) And a wild ending between Florida St. and LSU. In bigger news, the College Football playoff will take place. They're targeting 2026, but it could happen as early as 2024. It's long overdue, but I do have one caveat that needs to be addressed as we're still a couple of years before this is introduced into our consciousness.

(51:07) With the NFL starting on Thursday, I'll throw out a few over/under numbers at you before I make my selections on the next podcast. There is one that has me a bit perplexed. Will I take this one team as an under?

(54:39) Donovan Mitchell is on the move as he goes to the Cavaliers. Does this make a young core with Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley a threat in the Eastern Conference? And what about the Knicks, who were rumored to get Mitchell? Another disgraceful attempt by a team at the top of the organization which is not only silent, but faceless, among other things. I'll also discuss the severity of Celtics Danilo Gallinari's knee injury that he suffered a week and a half ago. Plus, Bulls guard, Lonzo Ball looks like he'll miss the start of the regular season after surgery that took place in January!

(5:36) After a brief rundown, I'll get into how thrilling the Dodgers-Mets series has been so far. Is this an NLCS preview? Aaron Judge and Albert Pujols are within distance of some historic home run milestones (61 & 700, respectively) The sport needs to be on top of this and celebrate it as it's become an afterthought with college football and the NFL back in our consciousness. Are the Yankees in the process of choking away an insurmountable lead in the AL East? The status of Justin Verlander's right calf. White Sox manager Tony LaRussa is out indefinitely due to health issues.

(23:32) Serena Williams wins her second round match at the US Open in three sets, which begs the question? Will this propel her to a long tournament run? Or did she leave it all out on the court to where she won't make it out of the weekend? On the men's side, the expected top players are still around (i.e. Nadal, Medvedev, etc.) Nick Kyrgios is trying to make it back to back Grand Slam finals runs. Can he do so?

(29:33) College football is back! I'll have a top heavy preview of the few (and likely) teams that will possibly be in the National Championship Game. And if any Cinderella teams (i.e. Cincinnati last year) has a shot to make it to the playoff on New Year's Eve? I'll take a look at three of the bigger matchups over the holiday weekend that could impact the race for the College Football Playoff.

(39:47) The NFL season starts a week from tonight. But my focus isn't on that at the moment. One thing I want to get off of my chest is former Raider coach Jon Gruden's shameful speech as he is shooting his shot to get back into football. I'm far from the morality police, but there are a few things that need to be said in light of his lame comments at the Little Rock Touchdown Club a couple of days ago that you won't want to miss. Also, Jimmy Garoppolo stays by the bay as he'll suit up for the 49ers as a backup this season. Why that could potentially cause a huge quarterback controversy down the road?

(49:52) LA Clippers guard John Wall revealed that he had contemplated suicide recently because of dealing with the loss of family members and his own physical health, as he's been out of the lineup the past couple of years. I bring this up to shed light that even with the status, big contracts and lifestyle, they are human beings at the end of the day.

(52:57) Cameron Smith, the #2 golfer in the world, transitions to the LIV Golf League. Was it a big surprise? Was this the worst kept secret in the sport?

(5:19) Some interesting storylines have taken place in baseball over the past few days. Astros ace Justin Verlander suffered a calf injury as he had to leave his start early in yesterday afternoon's game vs. Baltimore. Without a prognosis as of this recording, could this be a serious blow for a team trying to get back to another World Series? Or is this a minor speed bump en route to the Division Series where he'll be raring to go come Game 1? Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman had to be put on the IL for an infection on his leg stemming from a tattoo. How this'll fare as he regains his confidence in himself and the manager as they gear up for September and beyond? Mariners prized rookie Julio Rodriguez secures a fat contract as he can make up to $470 million dollars over the next 14 years, with $210 million guaranteed. Baseball continues its trajectory of giving the young talent (i.e. Fernando Tatis, Jr. & Wander Franco) big time money without hesitation. I'll see where we're at as far as the wild card and division races are concerned, including a possible NLCS preview as the Dodgers will visit the Mets at Citi Field this week. I'll also share my thoughts on the Mets Old Timers Day festivities on Saturday, which was executed beautifully. Why wasn't this done sooner? The connection (or lack thereof, by the previous ownership) and the retirement of #24 in honor of Willie Mays.

(34:47) The final Grand Slam of the tennis year begins today at Flushing Meadow where the big headlines heading into this tournament is Serena Williams's last hurrah. Will she be able to win a round? Two? Get to next week? Who'll win on the women's side? What about the men's side? Can Nick Kyrgios get to and win his first major championship? Can Rafael Nadal win his 23rd Grand Slam? Where is Novak Djokovic? Lots of questions to be answered and I'll handicap what to expect here over the next two weeks.

(43:30) The NFL preseason has concluded, but some news off the field has garnered attention (Rams-Bengals scrimmage melee and the Bills releasing punter Matt Araiza on implications of a civil lawsuit stemming from a gang rape of an underage women with two other men) as we get ready for the new season to kick off in ten days.

(46:48) In the NBA, Chet Holmgren will be out for the year with a foot injury suffered in a Pro-Am game over the weekend. Then Danilo Gallinari came up lame while on a fast break as he tore his meniscus in a FIBA World Cup qualifying game. How big are these injuries in the grand scheme of things?

(49:32) Rory McIlroy wins his third FedEx Cup, but did anyone watch? Did anyone really care? Was it important for the sport considering it's not a major tournament? And what does this mean for golfers who may jump over to the LIV Golf League?

(5:11) The pennant races in baseball may not have a lot of drama heading into September as I recap the division and wild card chase to date. The Yankees look to get out of a six week malaise with a trip to Oakland and Anaheim upcoming as they've won three in a row. The Mets have the Braves breathing down their neck in the only race worth noting. Should there be concern if Atlanta overtakes the NL East at some point? Why did the Mets skip Jacob deGrom's start vs. the Yankees. I'll also discuss the apology by Fernando Tatis Jr. as he's in the middle of an 80 game suspension. And what about the 2023 schedule? Based on what I've seen, yours truly isn't a fan of it. I'll explain why.

(28:41) We're two weeks away from the start of a new NFL season. I'm sure many of you are psyched and pumped up for your Sundays being occupied with wall to wall football. What I wasn't psyched about was UFC chairman, Dana White, breaking a story on how Tom Brady was close to signing with the Las Vegas Raiders back in the 2020 offseason. Why bring this up now? Is this even a story? I'll also chime in on some news throughout the league (Baker Mayfield starting in Carolina), as well as, remembering Len Dawson. The Chiefs QB going back to the 1960's, who died at the age of 87.

(35:19) Kevin Durant agrees to move forward with the Nets as they try to come out from the rubble of his trade request earlier this summer. But there's one dynamic that needs to be addressed, in my opinion, if this upcoming season were to be one that can lead to a championship. What were the Lakers thinking acquiring Patrick Beverley? Did they not know about the history between he and Russell Westbrook? This has the makings of a disaster!

(45:30) I'm not too happy with the direction that the New York Islanders have taken this offseason. It was capped off by the team, who was rumored to sign former Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri, instead signs a long term deal with the Calgary Flames. What is going on with GM Lou Lamoriello as he continues to sit on his hands and do nothing to improve this team, who didn't make the playoffs this past season.

The Mets have the Braves breathing down their neck in the only race worth noting. Should there be concern if Atlanta overtakes the NL East at some point? Why did the Mets skip Jacob deGrom's start vs. the Yankees. I'll also discuss the apology by Fernando Tatis Jr. as he's in the middle of an 80 game suspension. And what about the 2023 schedule? Based on what I've seen, yours truly isn't a fan of it. I'll explain why.

(28:41) We're two weeks away from the start of a new NFL season. I'm sure many of you are psyched and pumped up for your Sundays being occupied with wall to wall football. What I wasn't psyched about was UFC chairman, Dana White, breaking a story on how Tom Brady was close to signing with the Las Vegas Raiders back in the 2020 offseason. Why bring this up now? Is this even a story? I'll also chime in on some news throughout the league (Baker Mayfield starting in Carolina), as well as, remembering Len Dawson. The Chiefs QB going back to the 1960's, who died at the age of 87.

(35:19) Kevin Durant agrees to move forward with the Nets as they try to come out from the rubble of his trade request earlier this summer. But there's one dynamic that needs to be addressed, in my opinion, if this upcoming season were to be one that can lead to a championship. What were the Lakers thinking acquiring Patrick Beverley? Did they not know about the history between he and Russell Westbrook? This has the makings of a disaster!

(45:30) I'm not too happy with the direction that the New York Islanders have taken this offseason. It was capped off by the team, who was rumored to sign former Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri, instead signs a long term deal with the Calgary Flames. What is going on with GM Lou Lamoriello as he continues to sit on his hands and do nothing to improve this team, who didn't make the playoffs this past season.

(3:41) What has happened to the New York Yankees? After their torrid start, where people had compared them to the 1998 team, they have grossly underachieved over the past two months. I'll take a look into my crystal ball to see if there is any light at the end of the tunnel or was this all an aberration? Meanwhile, the Mets scratched and clawed in another big time comeback in Philadelphia as they extend their lead in the NL East to four games. The Dodgers welcome Dustin May to their pitching rotation as he returns from Tommy John surgery. I'll review the pennant races in both leagues. The Cardinals stretching their division lead, including Albert Pujols's quest for 700 career home runs.

(27:29) Thankfully, the Deshaun Watson saga regarding his suspension has closure. Eleven games and a five million dollar fine. Contradicting comments and Jimmy Garoppolo rumors aside, his first game back in a uniform will be against his old team in Houston later this year. Was it set up to be this way? Also, the Buccaneers lose a key offensive lineman for the season. Bears LB Roquan Smith ends his hold-in as he'll play out his rookie contract in Chicago. And did the Giants dodge a missile as first round pick, Kayvon Thibodeaux went down with a knee injury during their preseason game with the Bengals?

(34:14) There was a shocker in MMA on Saturday night as Leon Edwards KO'd Kamaru Usman in the closing seconds of their match. I made a comparison to an old boxing match many moons ago that the fans can relate to. Is Edwards now a guy to be reckoned with? Or will this be a one-hit wonder?

(4:36) The Yankees were on the brink of not only being swept, but unable to scratch a run as they've been anemic offensively of late, had a miraculous comeback to salvage the final game against the Rays. Will this be the kick in the rear that they desperately need in order to get out of their malaise over the past month? Across town, the Mets scuffled a bit over the first two games in Atlanta as they try to gain ground in the NL East. Max Scherzer gutted out a start interrupted by rain and hung on to win 9-7, with Jacob deGrom on deck in the series finale tonight. Can they gain the two games back that they lost from the Braves. Also, former Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard ducking his former ballclub again? I'll keep you abreast of what the latest is in the pennant races in both the AL & NL, a World Series rematch from last year (Atlanta vs. Houston) highlights the weekend schedule. While the Texas Rangers not only fired their manager (Chris Woodward) earlier this week, but also their longtime GM, Jon Daniels was ousted. Where will Daniels possibly end up next? Flushing, maybe?

(23:35) Yours truly is tired of the regurgitated narratives regarding Aaron Rodgers. For now, hopefully I can put some of this to rest, considering other outlets and debate shows can't let it go. Chargers safety, Derwin James signs the largest contract in league history for his position. Will his past health issues pop up impact this extension? No surprise who's at the top of the preseason college football rankings (Alabama) Will this upcoming season be as predictable as ever?

(31:42) The NBA has released their schedule. Of course, Christmas Day is what everyone has circled to see who'll matchup over the five games. But with three NFL games that day, will anyone watch? Giannis Antetokoumpo has a thing for playing in Chicago, but for the Bulls? LeBron James gets a two year extension to remain in LA with the Lakers. Did that come as a surprise? And the sad passing of longtime NBA assistant and college head coach, Pete Carril, who passed away at 92.

(43:40) Tiger Woods has rallied his fellow brethren on the PGA Tour to discuss the LIV Golf League, the history of the PGA, integrity, among other things. Was this meeting successful for the 20-25 players that attended?

(4:33) Fernando Tatis Jr. surprised baseball as MLB handed down an 80 game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Will his absence hurt or help the Padres as they're in the middle of a heated wild card race? I'll go through the entire landscape and discuss the fight for the AL Central (Guardians, Twins, White Sox), NL Central (Cardinals & Brewers), NL East (as the Mets and Braves square off for four games in Atlanta) The Dodgers have their 12 game winning streak snapped and the Yankees are scuffling as they come off of a 2-7 road trip. Plus, the latest in the wild card as Tampa Bay did a nice job rebounding from a series opening loss to Baltimore to win the back two and almost had a perfect game pitched by Drew Rasmussen.

(24:53) The Jet fan can breathe the ultimate sigh of relief as their franchise QB, Zach Wilson will only miss 2-4 weeks after suffering a knee injury vs. Philadelphia on Friday night. It was feared that he tore his ACL, which would've had him out for the season, but for now, Wilson is on target to make a speedy recovery. If he's not quite 100%, do you want to see him out there Week 1 vs. Baltimore? Then there's Deshaun Watson. He issued an apology before the first preseason game in Jacksonville on Friday. Is it a case of 'too little, too late'? Also, my defense of this whole scenario as people have been getting at me being judge, jury and executioner for someone who wasn't guilty in a criminal case. I'll have a thorough explanation as to why he needs to be suspended for more than the six games that was handed to him a few weeks back.

(40:17) An early look at the NBA over/under win totals have been released. I was quite shocked to see who was listed at the top of the list. It wasn't the Lakers, Nets, Suns or even the champs in the Warriors. If you don't know, you'll have to listen and hear for yourself.

(44:48) Boxing’s heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, walks away from the sport at the age of 34. Do you think this is it? Or will we see him sometime down the road? I’ll get into how the title ‘heavyweight champion of the world’ has fallen so far from our sports consciousness it isn’t even funny.

(4:43) The second version of the "Field of Dreams" Game takes place in Iowa as the Cubs & Reds meet up. Did baseball drop the ball on promoting it? As for the latest pennant races, the Baltimore Orioles have really played well as they're putting pressure on Tampa Bay and Toronto. The Guardians have taken over first place in the AL Central. The Astros currently have the best record in the AL overtaking the Yankees. How important is it for the Bronx Bombers to reclaim their stake with the best record come October? The Mets have an interesting stretch of games upcoming. The Cardinals are in first place with the Brewers coming to town to battle it out for the NL Central lead. And Juan Soto will make his return to DC as the Padres will play the Nationals over the weekend.

(21:18) Deshaun Watson is scheduled to start in the first preseason game in Jacksonville. Will the league extend his suspension from the current six games that was handed down to him before his takes his first snap? The Jets suffer a huge injury to their offensive line as Mekhi Becton is done for the year.

(26:43) Kevin Durant has thrown down the gauntlet to Nets ownership, saying it's 'my way or the highway". Owner Joe Tsai is backing up his GM & coach (Sean Marks and Steve Nash) as was reported. Is KD out of line for such an ultimatum? Was this unexpected coming from a guy who just wants to play ball and not get wrapped up in this type of drama? Also, the league will honor Bill Russell by retiring the #6 across the NBA. Was this distinction warranted? Contrived?

(35:58) Some NHL news has come down the pike with a few signings (Jonathan Huberdeau's eight year contract in Calgary, and teammate Andrew Mangiapane. Boston's Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci). Sad news as Hall of Famer, Borje Salming announced he has ALS and the Islanders are thinking of the possibility of trading young star, Mathew Barzal so they can sign free agent, Nazem Kadri?

(40:55) Serena Williams is getting close to her "evolution" as the US Open is a little more than two weeks away. I'll discuss if she has an Open run in her as she begins to say goodbye on an illustrious career.

(43:52) It's been reported that Cam Smith, #2 golfer in the world and winner of The Open at St. Andrews last month, is the latest to transition over to the LIV Golf League. Did he? Or didn't he?

(4:27) The Mets put it on a Braves team that have been nipping at their heels over the past month in the NL East. They won 4 out of 5 over the weekend and have extended their division lead to 6.5 games. I’ll discuss the contributions by their aces Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom, the rebirth of Edwin Diaz, an MVP caliber season from Pete Alonso and are they better than the Dodgers in the National League? I’ll get into the Cardinals big stretch that has them in first place after sweeping the Yankees. Speaking of the Yankees, how their tailspin (9-16 in their last 25 games) should be a bit concerning as they've cooled off considerably after a torrid May & June. Plus, everything else that's happening in the division and wild card races as we push toward the middle of the month of this baseball season.

(29:40) The NFL preseason is underway as the Jaguars and Raiders re-introduced football to the American consciousness. Did I watch? How about the 2022 Hall of Fame Class festivities? In fact, I have to explain why this group didn’t move the needle for me, but it’s an indictment on those who chose these finalists than the finalists’ themselves. There’s been some intriguing storylines in the sport. Matthew Stafford’s elbow in LA with the Rams and Kareem Hunt wants out of Cleveland, but the Browns aren’t willing to do so.

(38:10) Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison for possession of cannabis. Will the verdict possibly be a catalyst to bringing her back to the States? If so, how soon?

(4:30) Coming off of an epic MLB trade deadline, I'll dissect the blockbuster trade by San Diego bringing in Juan Soto to their ballclub. Could the Padres possibly have three players worth over a BILLION dollars in contracts at the same time? What about the Yankees and how they've added to their roster? Also, what could plague them come October? The Dodgers weren't big time players in making transactions to solidify a couple of key spots on their team. I'll break down what some of the other playoff contenders have done, go through both leagues wild card scenarios, a division battle set this weekend between the Braves & Mets. A tribute to a broadcasting legend, Vin Scully. And thoughts on the last two episodes of The Captain, the ESPN documentary on Derek Jeter, that you may find intriguing.

(39:47) Deshaun Watson's suspension has finally come down to where an arbiter handed down six games for him to sit out at the start of the 2022 season. Thing is, the NFL has appealed that the suspension should be harsher. The Players Association was hoping that the league would've stood pat. Will this be a fight to the bitter end? How much will Watson get when it's all said and done? The Miami Dolphins were docked a first round draft pick next year, fined and their owner, Stephen Ross, was suspended for tampering violations against Tom Brady and former Saints coach, Sean Payton. Was this penalty warranted?

(48:15) In an interview this week, Greg Norman shouted out Tiger Woods as he allegedly passed up $700-$800 million from the LIV Golf Tour. Is Tiger in the wrong for not jumping to where the money is? Speaking of LIV, Phil Mickelson, among nine other golfers. are filing an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA so they can play in the upcoming FedEx Cup Playoffs. How will the PGA handle this now and moving forward?

(2:52) There's still some time to go, but now that we're officially into the month of August, we can see more sports coming up on the horizon. Whether it's college football, the US Open Tennis or even the exhibition season of the NFL, we're slowly but surely drawing closer to breaking out of this Sports Dead Zone, Pt. 2 and onto the fall and winter sports seasons.

(6:16) I'll commemorate the brilliance and overall champion of the life that was Celtics legend, Bill Russell, who passed away at the age of 88.

(16:37) The MLB Trade Deadline is tomorrow at 3pm. We've already seen a major player sent packing (Reds pitcher, Luis Castillo to Seattle), but will we see Juan Soto or Shohei Ohtani jettisoned in the next 24 hours? I'll state why that won't be the case? Plus, an up to the minute division and wild card breakdown in each league, where they stand as we turn the calendar to another month and the season debut of Mets pitcher, Jacob deGrom, tomorrow night in Washington. Am I optimistic that he'll remain healthy for the rest of the year?

(38:50) NFL Training Camps are in full swing and two wide receivers got paid over the past week. DK Metcalf of the Seahawks and Deebo Samuel of the 49ers are locked in for the next three years. With both players getting paid up to 73 million dollars, will their production in the coming year, justify the contracts they signed up for? Also, Kyler Murray spoke and the Cardinals front office listened as they've scrapped the film study mandate for the franchise QB. And a ruling is scheduled to come down on how long will Deshaun Watson be suspended for violating the personal conduct policy. (NOTE: After recording, a six game suspension was handed down to Watson. Please check my Instagram account for my instant reaction https://www.instagram.com/thejayreelzpodcast/?hl=en)

(49:23) UFC's Amanda Nunes regains the bantamweight title from Julianna Pena as she gets her revenge from a loss to her seven months prior, in dominating fashion. Will there be another rematch between the two down the road?

(4:42) Subway Series Round 1 goes to the New York Mets as they complete a two game sweep of their crosstown rivals, the Yankees. I'll break down the key contributors to the Mets victories, the possible return of Jacob deGrom, the Yankees trade for an outfielder (which means the likely end for Joey Gallo) as they move on to the next series before their second encounter next month at Yankee Stadium. I'll take a peek on what developed over the last few days (i.e., the Astros get SWEPT by the A's? The Blue Jays winning streak gets snapped. A big game for the Orioles vs. Tampa Bay to keep themselves in the AL Wild Card mix. The Red Sox free fall. Some separation in the NL Wild Card race as the Giants have plummeted below .500. Is it out of the question that it's set up for a potential not-too-thrilling pennant race during the rest of the regular season? I'll explain in great detail as we approach the dog days of August. I'll also share some thoughts on the first two parts of the Derek Jeter ESPN documentary, The Captain, as we take a brief trip down memory lane on the legendary Yankee shortstop.

(30:25) NFL Training Camps are in full effect as the season commences six weeks from today. Kyler Murray has a clause in his contract where it's mandated for him to watch four hours of game film a week. Why is this the case? Who is policing this? I'll discuss this disaster set forth by the Arizona Cardinals and also get into Julio Jones's new home (remember him?) as he's a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

(39:20) The current administration in the US has made an offer to Russia in order to bring back WNBA star, Britney Griner. Will this be executed seamlessly? Could this happen sooner? Or later? Plus, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum made a comment about the teams recent talks with the Brooklyn Nets regarding the services of Kevin Durant. I'll throw in my two cents on that as this topic is near and dear to my heart.

(4:18) Baseball picks up from where it left off before the All-Star Break as the 'second half' of the season begins. There were some interesting storylines with teams that we've kept an eye on, in particular, the Mariners laying a dud vs. the Astros after winning 14 in a row. The Astros gunning for the title of the best team in the sport? The Red Sox floundering. Can they be sellers at the trade deadline? The Orioles monster series vs. the Rays after losing 4 of 6 since their 10 game winning streak. The Phillies were embarrassed by the Cubs at home with the Braves looming in their next series. The Giants were a no show in LA as they were swept in four games. And then, there are the Mets. Any concern as they're slowly losing their grip on first place? Could they be in second place after their series against the Yankees? All of the above, plus the latest wild card races in the AL & NL as we inch closer to the dog days of August.

(31:54) Kyler Murray signs a huge extension with the Arizona Cardinals, to no one's surprise, but what about Lamar Jackson as the Ravens seem to be half-stepping on an extension with their former MVP? Will he get signed before the season begins? As for the college circuit, national champion coach, Kirby Smart of Georgia signs a 10 year/112 million dollar contract? Is that insane for a college coach? Also, where is Jimmy Garoppolo going now that Cleveland has inked both Josh Rosen and AJ McCarron to their roster?

(42:52) There was a blockbuster trade in the NHL as the Calgary Flames send Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers for Jonathan Huberdeau, players and a lottery protected first round pick in 2025. Does this make the Panthers a favorite in the East? Does Tkachuk change the culture of a team that won the President's Trophy last year?

(47:28) Are the Celtics really engaging in discussions for Kevin Durant? Why is this a possibility? I'll explain why I'm not in favor of bringing him onto the team. (CORRECTION: I mentioned that if a trade between the Nets and Celtics were to take place that the Celtics will give up their first round picks in 2025, '27 & '29. NOT '15, '17 & '19 like I mentioned. My apologies for the gaffe.)

(4:18) Baseball picks up from where it left off before the All-Star Break as the 'second half' of the season begins. There were some interesting storylines with teams that we've kept an eye on, in particular, the Mariners laying a dud vs. the Astros after winning 14 in a row. The Astros gunning for the title of the best team in the sport? The Red Sox floundering. Can they be sellers at the trade deadline? The Orioles monster series vs. the Rays after losing 4 of 6 since their 10 game winning streak. The Phillies were embarrassed by the Cubs at home with the Braves looming in their next series.

(4:14) As I mentioned, with not much going on in the sports universe, baseball saves the day as I'll recap a laborious Home Run Derby on Monday night, a lackluster All-Star Game and why it has become such a slog to watch? More importantly, we turn our attention to the 'second half' of the season as I'll breakdown all of the divisions, the wild card races, who's in prime position to make it to the dance and who'll be on the outside looking in as we get started on the race to October baseball throughout the rest of the summer.

(36:15) NFL training camps will open up next week. News coming out of San Francisco is that the 49ers have granted permission for Jimmy Garoppolo to seek a trade. Where will he end up? Is Cleveland the obvious destination? I'll also spend a moment on the passing of former Steelers #1 pick, wide receiver Charles Johnson at the age of 50.

(41:25) James Harden has signed an extension to stay with 76ers and provide some relief to their cap. The focus will be on redeeming himself over the last couple of years with the decline of his play. Will he be able to resurrect his career to where it was in Houston and deliver a title to Philadelphia?

(4:17) The All-Star Break has arrived in baseball as Los Angeles will be the backdrop for the Home Run Derby and the game itself over the next couple of days. A huge story coming out of the weekend was Juan Soto declining a 15 year, $440 million dollar contract from the Nationals. Does this all fall on the shoulders of Soto? What would a team have to trade in order to procure his services? I'll do a deep dive on this topic, and of course, the mastermind behind this being his agent, Scott Boras. I'll recap the past weekend in the sport (i.e. Mariners win streak at 14, Orioles & Red Sox slide, Yankees pitching rotation loss and affect on their staff, Mets status quo in the NL East and more) Plus, my thoughts on the Derby and the All-Star Game as I share my experience of witnessing one in person nine years ago. To close out, I'll get into the ESPN Derek Jeter docu-series that begins tonight. How much should we expect from the Yankee great to open up about his life and career? I'll explain in detail.

(33:30) Rory McIlroy was staring at his first major tournament win in eight years, but Cam Smith was brilliant down the stretch to claim his first ever Grand slam victory at The Open in St. Andrews. Did Smith win? Or did Rory lose? Also, Tiger Woods did not make the cut as he became emotional walking up toward the 18th hole on Friday. Could this be the beginning of the end for the all time great? Is retirement a possibility?

(44:41) The Phoenix Suns match the offer sheet by the Indiana Pacers, paying him $133 million dollars over the next four years. Despite the Suns putting their money where their mouths are, were they reluctant to do so?

(49:00) NHL free agency has quieted down, but the Devils have made a couple of key moves (defenseman John Marino and winger Ondrej Palat) to bolster their roster and chances to bring respectability to the franchise. While the Islanders have stood pat, remained silent (besides acquiring a defenseman from the Canadiens) and has yours truly wondering which direction the organization is going!?

(4:27) As we approach the final weekend before the All-Star Break, the Mets made some small waves by winning a big series in Atlanta and taking an extra game in the standings to Chicago. I'll breakdown their resourcefulness to this point, the year Edwin Diaz is having, Seth Lugo trending south and if the front office will work the phones starting next week to bring in reinforcements for the stretch run. The Blue Jays have languished as they fired their manager, Charlie Montoyo. Will that jumpstart them to meet their expectations prior to the start of the season? Break up both the Mariners and Orioles as they're both in the midst of ten game winning streaks. Do they have what it takes to keep themselves in the thick of things for the AL Wild Card? I'll preview what the schedule looks like over the next three days as the Home Run Derby and Midsummer Classic is on deck right after that.

(24:06) The NHL offseason has started with a flurry as free agency has arrived. Not only will I cover who's on the move, who stood pat but dissect why I wouldn't have reunited the long standing trio of Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins for another run at a Stanley Cup?

(34:34) The final golf major of the year has teed off at The Open in St. Andrews. I'll get into what the conditions may be like on the other side of the pond. Who may come out on top? And delve into Tiger Woods's comments on players leaving for the LIV Golf League and what he still means to the Tour overall?

(42:00) The Utah Jazz are willing to listen to offers for star guard, Donovan Mitchell. Should there be a buyer beware? Not because of the player, but the GM (Danny Ainge) and his shrewd business savvy? Will the Knicks be a possibility to bring 'Spida' to the Garden?

(46:11) Heinz Field in Pittsburgh is no more! How these name changes to stadiums has me exasperated beyond belief?

SPOTIFY TRAILER: 3069cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/mets-braves-showdown-one-yankee-concern-
(4:04) The showdown in the NL East is about to begin. The Mets and Braves meet up for three huge games down in Atlanta starting tonight, with the Mets holding a 1.5 lead in the division. How will this play out? Which team does this series means the most to? I'll have a preview. The Yankees come out of Boston with a split of a four game set. I'll dissect what's the one thing we've learned over the weekend about the Bombers and how it could play an enormous factor, not only down the stretch of the regular season, but more importantly, the postseason. I'll take a lay of the MLB land and get into the Rays and Blue Jays recent stumble and the Dodgers resurgence, among other things as we're one week away from the All-Star Break.

(29:39) Wimbledon, tennis's third leg of the Grand Slam has officially completed. Elena Rybarkina is your surprise winner on the women's side. There's been a hint of controversy surrounding her win because players from Russia were banned for the tournament, but she represents another nation despite being born in Moscow. I'll explain further. Then there's Novak Djokovic winning his fourth Wimbledon in a row, seventh overall and 21st Grand Slam Final over Nick Kyrgios. Djokovic has gone on record stating that he doesn't anticipate playing in the US Open. How come? Also, how does Kyrgios perform moving forward now that he's made it to a Grand Slam Final?

(38:03) The NHL Draft had a little surprise at the top where the hometown host Montreal Canadiens, expected to take Shane Wright as their #1 choice, pivoted and chose Juraj Slafkovsky instead. Were the fans in the building elated by the selection? The Blackhawks were wheeling and dealing over the past few days sending a few players and draft picks as it looks as if they're in rebuild mode. Will Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane be next? Quite a few goaltenders were moved (i.e. Alexander Georgiev, Ville Husso and Vitek Vanecek) as well. Now, free agency looms over the sport as Wednesday will be the first day teams can spend on players like Evgeni Malkin, PK Subban, Phil Kessel, Claude Giroux, Johnny Gaudreau and many more as the offseason is in full swing.

(47:07) James Harden takes a pay cut to stay in Philadelphia as they look to add free agent PJ Tucker to the squad. How will he shape up when training camp comes around? Damien Lillard gets an extension to stay in Portland. He felt that if he were to go elsewhere, it wouldn't be fulfilling, when it comes to winning a championship. As commendable as it is for him to do so, the likelihood of that happening is slim and none.

(50:53) Sandra Douglas Morgan and the Las Vegas Raiders made history as she was hired by the team to be the president of the franchise. What this could possibly mean for all of sports moving forward?

A new week means a new podcast, but the same passion and fire as I deliver all that the sports world has to offer on this latest edition. On deck: (4:04) The showdown in the NL East is about to begin. The Mets and Braves meet up for three...
(4:04) The showdown in the NL East is about to begin. The Mets and Braves meet up for three huge games down in Atlanta starting tonight, with the Mets holding a 1.5 lead in the division. How will this play out? Which team does this series means the most to? I'll have a preview. The Yankees come out of Boston with a split of a four game set. I'll dissect what's the one thing we've learned over the weekend about the Bombers and how it could play an enormous factor, not only down the stretch of the regular season, but more importantly, the postseason. I'll take a lay of the MLB land and get into the Rays and Blue Jays recent stumble and the Dodgers resurgence, among other things as we're one week away from the All-Star Break.

(29:39) Wimbledon, tennis's third leg of the Grand Slam has officially completed. Elena Rybarkina is your surprise winner on the women's side. There's been a hint of controversy surrounding her win because players from Russia were banned for the tournament, but she represents another nation despite being born in Moscow. I'll explain further. Then there's Novak Djokovic winning his fourth Wimbledon in a row, seventh overall and 21st Grand Slam Final over Nick Kyrgios. Djokovic has gone on record stating that he doesn't anticipate playing in the US Open. How come? Also, how does Kyrgios perform moving forward now that he's made it to a Grand Slam Final?

(38:03) The NHL Draft had a little surprise at the top where the hometown host Montreal Canadiens, expected to take Shane Wright as their #1 choice, pivoted and chose Juraj Slafkovsky instead. Were the fans in the building elated by the selection? The Blackhawks were wheeling and dealing over the past few days sending a few players and draft picks as it looks as if they're in rebuild mode. Will Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane be next? Quite a few goaltenders were moved (i.e. Alexander Georgiev, Ville Husso and Vitek Vanecek) as well. Now, free agency looms over the sport as Wednesday will be the first day teams can spend on players like Evgeni Malkin, PK Subban, Phil Kessel, Claude Giroux, Johnny Gaudreau and many more as the offseason is in full swing.

(3:59) Baseball is just about at or a smidge past the halfway point of the season. Some interesting storylines from the week, leading into the weekend are as follows. The Yankees and Red Sox renew their rivalry for four games in Fenway. Considering the Yankees enormous lead in the AL East (14 games as of today), should we as fans pay any attention to this showdown? What could this mean for the Red Sox as they're battling for second place in a division that has them, the Rays and Blue Jays separated by a half game? I'll get into the return of Max Scherzer, the impending showdown between the Mets-Braves in the NL East. The White Sox unable to get on track (and will they do so at any point?) at home vs. the Twins. The recent skids of the Cardinals and Padres. I'll even get into my over/under win totals and where they stand as we're about ten days away from the All-Star Game.

(27:44) Wimbledon is close to crowning champions for both the men and women as a developing storyline could impact the men's side of the bracket. Rafael Nadal had to labor an abdominal injury as he defeated Taylor Fritz. As of now, he's scheduled to perform in his semifinal match vs. Nick Kyrgios, but will he be able to persevere and set himself up to win his third Grand Slam this year?

(35:12) Baker Mayfield finally gets his wish as the Browns send him to Carolina for a mid conditional draft pick in 2024. Will he thrive and resurrect his career with the Panthers?

(40:31) The NHL Draft takes place in Montreal tonight. Are there any generational players to look out for? Also, there was a historic hiring by the San Jose Sharks as long time player, Mike Grier is the first person of color to become a general manager in the sport.

(4:44) There was plenty of wheeling and dealing in the NBA over the past week, with supermax deals handed out left and right (i.e. Nikola Jokic, Devin Booker, Zion Williamson, to name a few) but the big story was Kevin Durant requesting to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets. Who's to blame in all of this? Is it KD? The Nets? I'll have a full commentary on all of this, especially what the hierarchy of the Nets should do, if they haven't done so already, in order to keep the peace and rebuild their relationships with KD & Kyrie. The other newsworthy note in the Association was the Timberwolves trading a boatload of players and #1 picks to Utah for Rudy Gobert. Was this deal too expensive for the Timberwolves blood? Is Gobert even a good fit with this roster? I'll also share my thoughts on the Celtics shrewd deal to bring in Malcolm Brogdon from the Pacers. Although it comes with a caveat that is concerning.

(31:27) We're just about at the halfway mark of the baseball season. The All-Star Break is two weeks away. The Dodgers squandered a golden opportunity for a four game sweep of the rival Padres, but San Diego saved face as they beat up closer, Craig Kimbrel. The White Sox are looking to make a push as they come off of a sweep in San Francisco with a home date with the division leading Twins. I'll tell you what's going on in the NL Central. The Mets and Braves are a week away from re-acquainting themselves during this 2022 season. The AL East is a logjam after the first place Yankees and the Astros are in another stratosphere at the moment as the hottest team in the sport as I dissect both leagues to see where we're at about 81 games into the schedule.

(42:16) Wimbledon is into its second week of competition. The stunning news from the tournament was Iga Swiatek having her 37 match streak snapped against Alize Cornet on the women's side. Also, Coco Gauff has lost, leaving the possibility of Harmony Tan (who beat Serena Williams last week) to become the Cinderella at the All England Club. On the men's side, Carlos Alcaraz will not have a date with Novak Djokovic, but it's Jannik Sinner (CORRECTION: I said Skinner during the pod, not Sinner. My apologies for the error) who has that distinction. The guy who's making most of the headlines is Nick Kyrgios, who's temperament and attitude was the story of the weekend. Is he all bark and no bite? Can he make his way to the final?

(48:09) Both USC & UCLA will pack their bags and join the Big 10 in 2024. What does this mean for the PAC-12? Will there be a merger of conferences down the road? Is this the beginning of the end for the sport on a whole?

(53:43) The NHL Draft and free agency is upcoming. The impact is already taking place in Tampa Bay as they had to free up money and make a tough move by trading defenseman Ryan McDonagh to the Nashville Predators. I'll also get into the Class of 2022 Hall of Fame as the Sedin twins (Daniel & Henrik), Roberto Luongo and Daniel Alfredsson will be enshrined in Toronto. Why I feel none of the above are worthy of being Hall of Famers.

(59:59) Branden Grace makes history by becoming the first player to win a LIV Golf Event in the US. Did anyone watch? Does anyone care?

(4:05) NBA free agency begins tonight at 6pm. You've already had some players opt-in to their current deals (i.e. Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook) opt-out (i.e. James Harden, Bradley Beal) and a John Wall buyout in Houston as he heads to LA to play for the Clippers. I'll discuss their situations, the big trade between the Hawks and Spurs for Dejounte Murray, the Knicks impending signing of Jalen Brunson and much more as we gear up for some wheeling and dealing in the Association over the next week or so.

(22:10) My beloved Mets have hit a bit of a tough stretch, including an awful loss yesterday as they were swept again by the Astros. I'll explain why I'm not happy with their latest defeat and how the Braves are putting the pressure on the Mets in the NL East. Also, we found out the REAL reason why Freddie Freeman did not re-sign with Atlanta in the off-season. I'll recap the aftermath of the Mariners-Angels brawl and the suspensions handed down where 12 players and coaches were affected. I'll get into some series concluding (Guardians-Twins) and beginning (Padres-Dodgers) as we inch closer to the halfway point of the season.

(38:26) Wimbledon has been mostly chalk for the most part. The big match of the week was Serena Williams losing to Harmony Tan in an epic match on Tuesday. Is this the beginning of the end for the all-time great?

(44:10) Baker Mayfield has made a declaration to the Browns organization as he feels it's time to move on and that they haven't reconciled with him, in light of the acquisition of Deshaun Watson. Is he wrong?

(49:19) There's a LIV Golf Event taking place in Portland, Oregon starting today. Is anyone watching? Does anyone care?

(4:04) The Sports Dead Zone Pt. 2 is upon us. Now that the fall and winter sports have concluded, I'll zero in on what the next couple of months will look like in the sports landscape as we get you through the summer to the football season in early September.

(7:14) The Colorado Avalanche has exorcised some playoff demons by winning the Stanley Cup Finals dethroning the two time defending champion, Tampa Bay Lightning. With their core of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Cale Makar, do the Avalanche have what it takes to build a championship dynasty over the next few years? What about the Lightning? Can they get back to the Cup at this time next year? I'll answer those questions and give a review on the Stanley Cup Playoffs on a whole as we say goodbye to hockey until the fall.

(21:35) The NBA Draft wasn't much to write home about. Although I like what both Orlando did (selecting Paolo Banchero and what direction they're heading with a group of good young players) and Detroit (picking Jaden Ivey and trading for Jalen Duren in the first round). My biggest concern, or in this case GRIPE, is what the Knicks aren't doing and it falls at the feet of their front office! This is a commentary that you won't want to miss as I dissect the silence and ineptitude of team president, Leon Rose and VP, William Wesley.

(39:16) The Houston Astros have an interesting stretch to where they're playing both the Mets and Yankees over the course of ten days. After six games, with three more to go this week, how did they stock up to the best in both the National and American League? I'll get into the heroics of Aaron Judge this season and what his potential free agent contract could look like for the Yankees? The return of Freddie Freeman to Atlanta, the injury suffered by Bryce Harper who is out indefinitely with a broken thumb. The Guardians lose grip of the AL Central. The Red Sox rise in the AL and much more as baseball will be front and center as we get deeper into the summer.

(51:40) Wimbledon kicks off the third Grand Slam of the calendar this year today. I'll preview both the men's and women's side. Will we see another Novak Djokovic-Rafael Nadal matchup for the title? What can we expect from Serena Williams as we'll see her on the court at a major tournament for the first time in quite a while?

(56:03) NFL Training Camps are less than a month away. Is yours truly ready for some football? I'll get into that and another Manning (i.e. Peyton & Eli's nephew, Arch) makes his announcement as to what university he'll suit up for in the fall of 2023.

(59:47) My Hero and Zero of the Week is on hiatus. I'll explain.

(3:28) It's coming, people. Sadly, The Sports Dead Zone Pt. 2 is on the horizon. I'll share an early thought on that.

(4:47) We may have a Stanley Cup Champion crowned as early as tomorrow night. The Colorado Avalanche won a gutty Game 4 after being blitzed by the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 3. Now they head back home to Denver to see if they can hoist the Cup for the first time in 21 years. Will they seal the deal? Or does the Lightning have enough thunder to extend the series past Friday night. There were a couple of new head coaching hires in Dallas and Florida that I'll discuss as well.

(15:42) The NBA season may be through, but the offseason has just begun. The Draft will take place this evening as I go through the top four picks (and not much after that) as I explain in great detail. Also, the latest in the Kyrie Irving saga as he and the organization are at an impasse when it comes to a contract extension. Where does he go? Does he stay put in Brooklyn? Are the Knicks a possibility?

(30:38) This is a big week for the Houston Astros as they play a stretch of nine straight games against the New York teams. They've already beaten the Mets in Houston over the first two games. Now a big four game series at Yankee Stadium looms vs. their longtime playoff rivals which will be, I think, a true litmus test for a team that doesn't have much to prove, but to see if they can hang with the best team in the sport. They'll close out this stretch with two games at Citi Field vs. the Mets, before going home to play one game against the Yanks. The Cardinals are in the middle of a big series vs. the Brewers as they currently hold a one game lead in the NL Central. Give it up to the Guardians as they're in first place in the AL Central as they have an important series this weekend when they face the Twins in Minnesota in a battle for the division lead.

(37:57) Brooks Koepka is the latest golfer to make his way over to the LIV Golf League. Will other players on the Tour follow suit? What will the PGA do if this exodus continues?

(42:49) Rob Gronkowski goes off into retirement again! The latest news regarding Deshaun Watson. What is the NFL waiting for to hand down a suspension to the embattled QB?

(6:42) I begin the podcast discussing the past few days as I didn't release a mid week podcast. I'll explain why. I'll jump right into what's currently happening as the Stanley Cup Finals turns its attention to Tampa Bay as the Lightning have to dig themselves out of another 2-0 series deficit. Will they respond with a big effort and win tonight? Or does the Avalanche have too much going for them as they look to take a commanding series lead? I'll share my thoughts on what this could mean for Colorado, as well as, Tampa as the next two games will be played at Amalie Arena. There were a couple of coaching hires (i.e. Philadelphia and Vegas) that could mean a turnaround is in store for two franchises looking to get back to the playoffs. And what about former Islander coach, Barry Trotz?

(19:27) The NBA Finals l didn't live up the sadly didn't live up to the hype as the Golden State Warriors were able to capture the championship, winning the last three games, securing their 4th title in eight years. Steph Curry is your Finals MVP. Has he now put himself in the category of a top-10 all time player? Can we say that this team is a dynasty? On the flipside for the Celtics, a tough defeat for a young squad as Jayson Tatum has lots to answer to after an underwhelming Finals performance. What do the Celtics need to get themselves over the hump this offseason?

(43:10) Baseball's big story at the moment is the play of the New York Yankees. They had their nine game winning streak snapped yesterday. Since their 7-6 start, they're 42-11. Is it premature or out of the question to hear whispers of comparisons to the 1998 Yankee team? I'll definitely get into that as well as what else is happening in Major League Baseball as we're less than a month away from the All-Star Break.

(57:11) The third golf major (US Open) of the year is already in the books. Matt Fitzpatrick is your winner. Or did Will Zalatoris lose it? Also, Phil Mickelson's poor effort as he didn't make the cut. Did the LIV Golf League cloud over his head play into his subpar performance?

(1:01:21) My Hero and Zero of the Week takes a week off. Or will it?

(3:45) Are we surprised that the Tampa Bay Lightning have made it back to the Stanley Cup Finals? They sure made me look like a fool (if you've listened to my takes over the past year plus) They will go for their third straight Cup championship which hasn't happened in almost 40 years. I'll discuss their series win over the Rangers, as well as, a postmortem on the Rangers postseason. Then preview a Final that will have a rested, high powered Avalanche team against the two time defending champs with a prediction as to who'll raise the Cup when it's all said and done.

(23:36) The NBA Finals have been quite the battle as the Warriors led by Steph Curry, had a Game 4 for the ages in bringing the series back to the Bay Area tied at 2. What could we possibly expect over the next couple of games at the very least? Will the Celtics continue their perfect record after a loss? Same for the Warriors? What about Jayson Tatum as he's been subpar this series and needs to have that signature game? A lot to uncover as we get closer to crowning an NBA champion. Also, a new coaching hire in Charlotte (former Nets coach, Kenny Atkinson) Was it a good move?

(34:54) As I turn my attention to baseball, the Yankees and Braves are flying high, while the Dodgers, Brewers and White Sox (a tough few days for manager, Tony LaRussa) are sliding a bit. The Yanks have won 11 of 12, but the competition will heat up over the next two weeks. The Braves have a soft schedule as they chase the Mets in the NL East. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have lost 9 of 13 and will lose a key member to their starting rotation, the Brewers snapped an eight game losing streak and what was Tony LaRussa thinking about intentionally walking a batter with TWO STRIKES?? I'll cover the baseball landscape as we're a little more than a month from the All-Star Game.

(44:18) The first ever LIV Golf League event took place over the weekend where Charl Schwartzel was the winner pocketing almost more than half of what he would make at a major, let alone a regular golf tournament. With the PGA suspending players who've defected to the LIV league, not playing in any future events, will the current players on the Tour not make the jump and keep their Tour status in tact?

(47:27) I'll briefly discuss The Belmont Stakes and how Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike showed us who we exactly thought he would be, ending up in sixth place as Mo Donegal was your winner to close out the Triple Crown of Horse Racing.

(49:21) I'll cap off the pod with some news and notes in the NFL. Whether it's the ongoing Deshaun Watson saga, the Broncos impending new ownership and how do the Rams do it when it comes to manipulating the salary cap as they re-sign both Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp to big extensions to go along with Matthew Stafford, Bobby Wagner, Allen Robinson, etc.

(53:17) Of course, there's my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(54:33) And a programming note for the podcast this coming Thursday that I'll keep you up to date as we get closer. Follow me on any of my social media accounts which are connected below.

(34:54) As I turn my attention to baseball, the Yankees and Braves are flying high, while the Dodgers, Brewers and White Sox (a tough few days for manager, Tony LaRussa) are sliding a bit. The Yanks have won 11 of 12, but the competition will heat up over the next two weeks. The Braves have a soft schedule as they chase the Mets in the NL East. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have lost 9 of 13 and will lose a key member to their starting rotation, the Brewers snapped an eight game losing streak and what was Tony LaRussa thinking about intentionally walking a batter with TWO STRIKES?? I'll cover the baseball landscape as we're a little more than a month from the All-Star Game.

(44:18) The first ever LIV Golf League event took place over the weekend where Charl Schwartzel was the winner pocketing almost more than half of what he would make at a major, let alone a regular golf tournament. With the PGA suspending players who've defected to the LIV league, not playing in any future events, will the current players on the Tour not make the jump and keep their Tour status in tact?

(47:27) I'll briefly discuss The Belmont Stakes and how Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike showed us who we exactly thought he would be, ending up in sixth place as Mo Donegal was your winner to close out the Triple Crown of Horse Racing.

(49:21) I'll cap off the pod with some news and notes in the NFL. Whether it's the ongoing Deshaun Watson saga, the Broncos impending new ownership and how do the Rams do it when it comes to manipulating the salary cap as they re-sign both Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp to big extensions to go along with Matthew Stafford, Bobby Wagner, Allen Robinson, etc.

(53:17) Of course, there's my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(54:33) And a programming note for the podcast this coming Thursday that I'll keep you up to date as we get closer. Follow me on any of my social media accounts which are connected below.

(4:35) The NBA Finals sets up for a pivotal Game 4 on Friday night as the Celtics were able to withstand another third quarter blitz by the Warriors in a 116-100 victory. The big focus is whether or not Steph Curry will be in the starting lineup as he suffered an injury in the fourth quarter last night. What does this mean for the series moving forward? What is a huge key for them winning their first championship in 14 years? Can the Celtics penchant for winning games after a loss continue?

(19:05) With a Stanley Cup Final on the horizon, I'll recap the Avalanche's Game 4 series victory as they sweep the Oilers and punch their ticket to the Finals. I'll have a little postmortem on this Edmonton playoff run and will the long layoff (potentially 11 days for Colorado) be a blessing or a curse? In the East, the Rangers have let the Lightning back in the series as it's deadlocked at 2-2. Will the Rangers rebound and push Tampa Bay to the brink? Or will the two-time defending Cup champs figure out a way to win Game 5 and close out the Eastern Conference at home in Game 6?

(31:24) Don't look now but the Atlanta Braves are in hot pursuit. They've gotten over their early season slumber/World Series hangover as they are starting to creep up in the NL East standings. Should the Mets start looking over their shoulder as they still have FIFTEEN GAMES against their longtime rivals? The Angels have jettisoned their manager, Joe Maddon as the team is mired in a current 14 game losing streak. Was it a move they had to make? And the Yankees have gotten off to the best start in the sport since the 2001 Mariners. I'm sure a distinction the Yankee fan doesn't want to be associated with since it was their beloved team who beat Seattle in the playoff that year.

(39:30) What's currently taking place in golf has taken the sport by storm (NOTE: Since this recording, the PGA has suspended golfers who've transitioned over to the LIV from all events) as Dustin Johnson, Bryson Dechambeau and Patrick Reed have made the leap over to the LIV Golf League. I'll discuss the various effects (i.e. from players jumping ship just for money, the lack of history and iconic courses they'll pass up on playing) and even lay out an example using yours truly on why I wouldn't make an extreme move as such.

(48:24) I'll make a brief mention of The Belmont Stakes which'll take place on Saturday to see whether or not Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike will either A) race or B) not turn out to be a one-hit wonder.

(49:26) The saga of embattled Browns quarterback, Deshaun Watson has really taken on a life of its own. A recent New York Times article has uncovered 65 women involved with Watson over a 17 month period, on top of, the Houston Texans renting hotel rooms for Watson to get treatment? How could such a thing take place outside of the teams training facility? Also, what is the NFL waiting for when it comes to handing down a suspension under the leagues' conduct policy? A story that's beyond sad and one that you can't make up as I share my thoughts on this never ending soap opera.

(4:15) The Tampa Bay Lightning showed some championship DNA as they pulled out a much needed last second win in Game 3 to get back in the series vs. the Rangers. Will they draw even to bring the series back to New York tied? More importantly, what will convince me that the Lightning are back to their usual Cup winning selves as they try to go for a three-peat? In the West, the Avalanche are in a great position as they look to sweep the Oilers in a Game 4 tonight and make it to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 21 years. Can they do it?

(17:20) We are two games into the NBA Finals as the series shifts to Boston come Wednesday night. The Celtics were able to steal Game 1 with a 4th quarter barrage of 3-point shots. Game 2 was quite the opposite as the Warriors had another overwhelming 3rd quarter, but did not give back the lead the way they did in Game 1. I'll break down what took place over the first couple of games and what to possibly expect as we get to the middle of this series and beyond. Also, some news coming out of Utah as Jazz coach, Quin Snyder steps down from his eight year tenure with the team. Their franchise player, Donovan Mitchell, wasn't too happy about the news. Is there damage control that needs to be done between their star player and the front office?

(32:32) Quite a bit has happened in baseball over the past few days. I'll start with the Angels as their free-fall has them in an eleven game losing streak. The latest loss to the Phillies was a back breaker as they blew two big leads late. What does this mean for the manager, Joe Maddon? Does he survive? Considering former Phillie manager Joe Girardi was let go on Friday. They have hit the skids and may not be long for any pennant race before July 1st. Watch out for the Atlanta Braves as they look to be over their World Series hangover. The Padres win 3 of 4 in Milwaukee as the Cardinals have inched closer to the top of the NL Central with winning 3 out of 4 themselves in Chicago against the Cubs. The Mets salvaged a split with the Dodgers in LA as they got out of dodge with a wild 5-4 victory on Sunday. And the Red Sox have heated up as they're back to .500 after a sluggish start.

(44:48) The French Open concluded with a thud as the #1 women's player in the world, Iga Swiatek defeated Coco Gauff as she's now won the first two Grand Slams of 2022. And Rafael Nadal coasted to his 14th French Open win and 22nd Grand Slam overall in convincing fashion at Roland Garros.

(49:07) You had four players retire from the NFL this past week. Frank Gore, the NFL's 3rd all time leading rusher. Alex Mack, the longtime center of the Browns, Niners and Falcons. Stephon Tuitt, defensive end of the Steelers and journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, which leads to...

(4:52) Game 1 of the NBA Finals commences this evening. I'll have all of the juicy storylines, Stephen Curry's legacy if he wins, key matchups and prediction of who'll be the last team standing in capturing the Lawrence O'Brien Trophy, crowning an NBA champion in 2022.

(24:25) The upstart Rangers have had a phenomenal week. First up, winning a Game 7 on the road in Carolina where they tempered the Hurricanes to a soft breeze. Then, in Game 1 of the Conference Final, they put the hammer down on the Lightning to a 6-2 win in their best of seven series. Do the Rangers have what it takes to dethrone the two time champs? Or will the Lightning bounce back with all of their experience and know how to get back to a third straight Stanley Cup? Out West, it was a wild shootout in Denver as the Avalanche prevailed 8-6 in Game 1 vs. the Oilers. Can we expect to see this type of offensive output throughout the series? Also, what matchup would the NHL really want for a Stanley Cup Final showdown in two weeks?

(37:56) Baseball turns the calendar into June as I briefly highlight Lou Gehrig Day, as we remember his life and address ALS, the condition that the Iron Horse succumbed to many years ago. As for the game itself, the next eleven days will be an interesting stretch for a Met team that is 35-17 and have beaten the pulp out of their division foes (i.e. Phillies, Nationals) over the past week. Now, they head West to Southern California for games in Los Angeles, San Diego and Anaheim as this will be their toughest stretch to date. How will they fare? What could we possibly expect? The Nationals GM, Mike Rizzo, has declared that his star player, Juan Soto, will not be traded as he's looking to build around his only asset. Is that a bluff? Are they going to fork over a potential $400-$500 million dollar contract? And Josh Donaldson is unhappy as he did not get the support of his team following his comments toward White Sox SS Tim Anderson. Could this be the beginning of chemistry issues in the clubhouse?

(47:32) Coco Gauff has made it to the semifinal of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career. There is a possibility that she may face the #1 women's player in the world in Iga Swiatek. What could this opportunity mean for the 18 year old, not just in tennis, but as a household name State-side if she goes on to win the French Open? Also, Rafael Nadal had an epic win vs. his longtime rival, Novak Djokovic. The stage is set for him to win his 14th French Open. Can he do it?

(52:17) Is Rams DT Aaron Donald flirting with the idea of retiring, as he mentioned in a recent podcast that he would be "at peace" if he wasn't offered a contract extension. Could he step down? Will he play this year? Sadly, there were a couple of untimely deaths in the league this week. One with a current player (CB Jeff Gladney) and a former player (RB Marion Barber) as I discuss in detail.

(4:50) After a brief introduction on what to expect for the podcast, including a moment on the Indianapolis 500, the unexpected magic carpet ride that is the 2021-2022 of the Boston Celtics has taken them to the NBA Finals. I'll do a deep dive on the punch gut of a loss in Game 6 at home and the nailbiting, closing minutes as they hung on for dear life in winning a Game 7 in Miami. I'll discuss what the Heat are missing from their potential championship roster and a recap of the Warriors win over the Mavericks in the Western Conference Final as Luka Doncic searches for a sidekick to take his team to the next level.

(29:21) There's a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs second round as I'll preview who'll come out on top between the Rangers-Hurricanes and face the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Who do I think will be the better Eastern Conference Final matchup? I'll preview what should be a monster Western Conference Final between Edmonton and Colorado and the two #1 overall picks of 2013 & '15 (Nathan MacKinnon & Connor McDavid, respectively)

(39:35) Memorial Day is the first viewpoint to take a look at the entire landscape throughout Major League Baseball. First question is: why isn't every team playing on this major holiday? Second, the big news in the sport over the past few days was Giants manager, Gabe Kapler and how he will not stand for the National Anthem, due to the senseless act and horror of what took place in Uvalde, TX last Tuesday. Is he wrong for doing so? Plus, how the AL & NL is shaping up roughly 50 games in as I'll detail the have and have nots so far this season.

On...
(4:50) After a brief introduction on what to expect for the podcast, including a moment on the Indianapolis 500, the unexpected magic carpet ride that is the 2021-2022 of the Boston Celtics has taken them to the NBA Finals. I'll do a deep dive on the punch gut of a loss in Game 6 at home and the nailbiting, closing minutes as they hung on for dear life in winning a Game 7 in Miami. I'll discuss what the Heat are missing from their potential championship roster and a recap of the Warriors win over the Mavericks in the Western Conference Final as Luka Doncic searches for a sidekick to take his team to the next level.

(29:21) There's a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs second round as I'll preview who'll come out on top between the Rangers-Hurricanes and face the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Who do I think will be the better Eastern Conference Final matchup? I'll preview what should be a monster Western Conference Final between Edmonton and Colorado and the two #1 overall picks of 2013 & '15 (Nathan MacKinnon & Connor McDavid, respectively)

(39:35) Memorial Day is the first viewpoint to take a look at the entire landscape throughout Major League Baseball. First question is: why isn't every team playing on this major holiday? Second, the big news in the sport over the past few days was Giants manager, Gabe Kapler and how he will not stand for the National Anthem, due to the senseless act and horror of what took place in Uvalde, TX last Tuesday. Is he wrong for doing so? Plus, how the AL & NL is shaping up roughly 50 games in as I'll detail the have and have nots so far this season.

(55:13) The French Open has entered the second week of competition. The women's side isn't that intriguing. Although, Coco Gauff could possibly make a run to a final. On the men's side, a heavyweight matchup awaits tomorrow in the quarterfinal as Novak Djokovic will face off against 13 time French Open winner, Rafael Nadal. Who will come out on top? There are still plenty of great players alive in the tournament (i.e. Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev) as they'll go at it to see who'll win the second Grand Slam of 2022.

(4:24) I usually have my Hero & Zero of the Week segment on Monday, but today, I give a hero shout out to Warriors coach, Steve Kerr. For voicing his thoughts on the senseless and tragic shooting outside of San Antonio on Tuesday that left 19 children and four adults dead at an elementary school. I'll spend a couple of minutes sharing my thoughts on whether or not this could be a turning point for our country when it comes to gun control.

(11:42) The Warriors weren't able to complete the sweep over the Mavericks on Tuesday night. They have a chance to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals with a win tonight. Will Dallas extend the series? Does Golden State wrap it up? Meanwhile, the Celtics have put themselves in position to seal the deal at home and participate in their first NBA Final since 2010. They climbed out of a 2-1 hole to win the last two games with suffocating defense and big production from their two stars (Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown). Can the Heat stave off elimination and bring the series back to South Beach for a Game 7? Will the Celtics put the finishing touch on Miami as they limp into Boston for Game 6?

(24:01) How about the Tampa Bay Lightning? They're looking like the team to beat, not just in the East, but the entire league. Can they and will they three-peat? The Rangers & Hurricanes are deadlocked at 2-2. Can the Rangers breakthrough and win on the road? Will Carolina continue its home dominance? St. Louis comes from behind in Game 5 to win in OT vs. Colorado. Can they push the Avalanche to a seventh game? And the Oilers are one win away from beating the hated Flames. Is Edmonton about ready to move on to the Conference Finals? Or does Calgary have what it takes to extend this series another game or two?

(36:33) As baseball heads into the holiday weekend, the Yankees and Rays will meet for the first time this season with four games down in Tampa. Do we really know the identity of this Rays team? Is this a litmus test for a team that's played very well against the Yanks over the past few years? As for the Mets, they suffered a brutal loss after another tremendous comeback in losing their first series on the road in San Francisco.

(44:25) I'll update the latest from the French Open as two top seeded women (Naomi Osaka & Barbora Krecjikova) have been ousted from the tournament.
(46:04) The Indianapolis 500 is set to take place on Sunday. I'll take a trip down memory lane to discuss that dating back to my childhood.

(47:06) A workout is scheduled for former Niners QB, Colin Kaepernick as the Las Vegas Raiders will give him a look. Does he have an actual shot to make a roster in the months to come?

(4:15) The NBA postseason has been anything but great, even good, for that matter. As evidenced by two Conference Finals that has one on the brink of conclusion (the Warriors taking a 3-0 series lead) and the ugliness of Games 2 & 3 between Miami & Boston. Game 3 did get interesting in the final few minutes, but I'll tell you why that game was tough to take if you're a Celtic fan? With both series potentially over by Wednesday night, there may be a case where you'll have EIGHT days between then and the start of the NBA Finals on June 2nd, which the league is privately holding their collective breaths.

(19:45) What happened to the Florida Panthers? The President's Trophy winner of the regular season could be out of the playoffs as early as tonight, as the Lightning have a commanding 3-0 lead in their best of seven series. Will they have any fight, or show some pride to avoid a sweep? The Battle of Alberta has the Edmonton Oilers in favor with a 2-1 series advantage. Are they in the driver's seat to win over their hated rival Flames? The Avalanche have a leg up on the Blues as they won Game 3 in St. Louis, which has led to a little controversy regarding Avs center, Nazem Kadri. He ran into Blues goaltender, Jordan Binnington, who is now lost for the remainder of the series. Kadri has received death threats from people out in social media because of this incident. How will this impact the Avalanche remains to be seen? And the Rangers have gotten themselves back in the series as the scene shifts to Madison Square Garden with a win over the Hurricanes.

(32:33) The White Sox and Yankees went at it over the weekend, where sparks flew between Yankees 3B Josh Donaldson and White Sox SS Tim Anderson. Donaldson's remark toward Anderson caused an uproar on the field and in the postgame of alleged racist undertones toward the shortstop, where Donaldson was pleading his case. Did Donaldson cross the line? Was it offensive? Should Donaldson be suspended for his actions? Albert Pujols hit two home runs yesterday to bring his all time number to 683. Will he catch or surpass Alex Rodriguez for fourth place in his quest to hit 700 for his career? I'll revisit the Max Scherzer injury as the Mets try to hold down the fort until his return, which could also coincide the return of Jacob deGrom in late June/early July. The Padres have played very well without Fernando Tatis Jr. and Blake Snell. They come off of a sweep of the Giants in San Francisco as they're just a half game back in the NL West behind the Dodgers. I'll take a trip throughout the major leagues and assess what's happening as we're starting to see some separation between the haves and have nots.

(47:41) The second golf major (PGA Championship) of 2022 was completed over the weekend. In dramatic fashion, Justin Thomas wins in a playoff vs. Will Zalatoris. The toughest loss of all was Mito Pereira who had the competition won, but double bogeyed on the 18th hole nullifying him of winning the PGA. Combine that with a furious comeback by Thomas. It was a not so great tournament but it did deliver a thrilling end as he wins his second PGA in his career.

(51:54) There's already been an upset at the French Open as Naomi Osaka was ousted in the first round. I'll preview both the men's and women's side as to who has a run in them to make it to a final. Although the men's bracket is puzzling as you have Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and young upstart, Carlos Alcaraz all on the same side to where one of those three could potentially not make it to a semifinal match, let alone a final.

(56:21) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:16) The Conference Finals have begun in the NBA as the Warriors and Heat jump out to 1-0 series leads. Will the Mavericks and Celtics get the equalizer? Can they come back and even each series down 0-2? The evolution of the Heat's Jimmy Butler as a top player in the league. I'll have answers to the questions above and lots more as we get a bit closer to an NBA Final.

(17:28) The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs commenced on Tuesday night as we've already had a couple of thrilling overtime games as the Hurricanes come back late in the third period and win in the extra frame vs. the Rangers. What will that do to the psyche of a team with a young goaltender in Igor Shesterkin? The Blues couldn't upset the Avalanche as they lose in OT. The Battle of Alberta should be a barnburner, as evidenced by a 9-6 shootout win for the Flames. And The Battle of the Sunshine State goes to Tampa Bay as they win Game 1 as they look to go on a deep run and defend their two time Cup winning status. Can the Panthers win this series if they were to go down 0-2? Plus, my thoughts on the new Islanders coach, Lane Lambert. I'll share what they really need as they go into the offseason looking for reinforcements to get back to the postseason next year.

(32:45) I've been singing the same tune when it comes to baseball over the last few podcasts, but the Yankees continue to mash and run roughshod over the American League as they could potentially be 20 games over .500 before they've played their 40th game of the year. Aaron Judge has been the story as he has his sights set on a monster season and a monster payday when it's all said and done. So far, that's coming up roses on his part. What does this mean for the Yankee front office when the time comes to pony up? On the other side of town, the Mets are dealing with some health issues regarding their pitching staff. In particular, free agent prize Max Scherzer, as he had to remove himself from the game last night. Should the Met fan start to worry? I'll also check the landscape of the sport and deliver the latest of what's going on as we're eight days away from Memorial Day weekend.

(42:11) The PGA Championship begins today at Southern Hills in Tulsa, OK. How will the weather and golf course play out over the next four days? Does Tiger Woods have a shot to win or stay close to the top of the leaderboard? What about #1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler? Can he win back to back major tournaments? I'll predict who'll raise the trophy come Sunday evening and also get into the recent demise of defending champion, Phil Mickelson, who is not participating due to some personal issues swirling around him.

(50:33) Unfortunately the Preakness will have no buzz on Saturday as Derby winner, Rich Strike has withdrawn from the race. I have a theory as to why they're holding back this horse from attempting to chase history.

Aaron Judge has been the story as he has his sights set on a monster season and a monster payday when it's all said and done. So far, that's coming up roses on his part. What does this mean for the Yankee front office when the time comes to pony up? On the other side of town, the Mets are dealing with some health issues regarding their pitching staff. In particular, free agent prize Max Scherzer, as he had to remove himself from the game last night. Should the Met fan start to worry? I'll also check the landscape of the sport and deliver the latest of what's going on as we're eight days away from Memorial Day weekend.

(42:11) The PGA Championship begins today at Southern Hills in Tulsa, OK. How will the weather and golf course play out over the next four days? Does Tiger Woods have a shot to win or stay close to the top of the leaderboard? What about #1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler? Can he win back to back major tournaments? I'll predict who'll raise the trophy come Sunday evening and also get into the recent demise of defending champion, Phil Mickelson, who is not participating due to some personal issues swirling around him.

(50:33) Unfortunately the Preakness will have no buzz on Saturday as Derby winner, Rich Strike has withdrawn from the race. I have a theory as to why they're holding back this horse from attempting to chase history.

SPREAKER:...]]>3395cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/cp3-suns-set-with-epic-playoff-flop-celt
(4:38) After a brief review of a big sports week that lies ahead (i.e. PGA Championship & Preakness, I'll dive in on the two Game 7's in the NBA yesterday. The shocker being what took place in Phoenix as the Dallas Mavericks eviscerated the Suns on their home floor, sending them into the offseason with lots of questions and not enough answers. The legacy of Chris Paul takes a huge hit as his teams have blown another 2-0 series lead, with countless other foibles on the back of his playoff basketball card. What about Devin Booker? DeAndre Ayton? The Mavs deserve some credit as well as Luka Doncic had a close out game on the road in a big spot that he couldn't dream of. Then there are the Celtics, as they came back from a 3-2 series deficit to blow the game wide open in the second half as they move onto another Conference Final in a 'Bubble Rematch' against the Miami Heat. I'll preview the NBA's Final Four with predictions and what would be the sexiest Finals matchup that ABC/ESPN is hoping for?

(29:31) The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been thrilling, to say the least. Five Game 7's over the weekend as I discuss the following: the Flames overcoming the heroics of Stars goalie, Jake Oettinger. The Rangers 3-1 series comeback leading to the OT winner by Artemi Panarin over the Penguins. The Hurricanes hang on to win a close hard fought seventh game against the Bruins. And then you have the Maple Leafs. Another first round exit. Another massive disappointment as they lose at home to the two time defending champion, Tampa Bay Lightning. Will there be wholesale changes in Toronto? We cannot forget the President's Trophy winning Florida Panthers as they escape with a series win, thanks to Carter Verhaeghe's heroics in the final three games. Which sets the stage for a preview of the second round as I'll predict who'll win between the Battle of the Sunshine State (Tampa Bay-Florida), Battle of Alberta (Edmonton-Calgary), St. Louis-Colorado and NY Rangers-Carolina.

(43:51) As for the MLB, the Yankees continue to fire on all cylinders, but it's their pitching that has been a surprise (i.e. Nestor Cortes) as they have the best record in the sport at 25-9. Their nemesis, the Astros have also been hot as a team that contend in the American League. The Mets finally lost their first series of the year as the Mariners take two of three, with the Cardinals coming to town after brushback pitches and fireworks a few weeks back. Will we see more of the same this week? The NL Central is led by the Brewers and a very competitive NL West led by the Dodgers as all teams in that division is at .500 and above. What about the achievement the Reds had over the weekend. They pitched a no-hitter and LOST! Although it doesn't count, as I'll explain further.

(51:14) The NFL schedule was released on Thursday and I have a gripe about the Thanksgiving and Christmas Day slate which isn't going to make the egg nog or pumpkin pie go down any smoother. We'll have a Super Bowl LV rematch at Tom Brady will go at it against Patrick Mahomes in early October in primetime.

(58:01) Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike, will not race in the upcoming Preakness on Saturday. I have a theory as to why, which is a shame because the sport needs any good press it can get. And without the horse with the long odds who won at the Derby, the second leg of the Triple Crown takes a huge hit.

(1:00:23) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:23) The Bucks-Celtics series has been quite a battle, as evidenced by a Game 5 that went down to the wire. The Celtics face extinction in Milwaukee. Will they prevail? How about the other series that are 3-2 to date? Can the Mavericks, Sixers & Grizzlies after their annihilation over Golden State push it to a Game 7? Which leads to a commentary on why the NBA NEEDS a Game 7 in this round, especially if it's Bucks-Celtics. I'll also talk about the passing of former Pistons & Bucks center, Bob Lanier who died at the age of 73.

(23:44) It's quite possible that the two time defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning could be ousted from the postseason as early as tonight. The Toronto Maple Leafs with their baggage of recent playoff misery can send the champs off on an early vacation. If not, they'll have the cloud of another Game 7 and a chance to erase some of the first round demons on Saturday night. How will impact the Leafs? Will Tampa survive and extend the series to a decisive seventh game? I'll also recap the other storylines in this first round including, the Flames rebound to take a 3-2 lead over the Stars. The Rangers were able to stave off elimination vs. the Penguins and they may be without Sidney Crosby as he suffered an injury. Will they be able to overcome him being out of the lineup? The Panthers resiliency. The Hurricanes hold serve at home again. The Blues look to clinch vs. the Wild. Are the Kings primed to upset the disappointing Oilers? Is there a housecleaning in order if they're unable to upend the Kings? This first round has the chance to produce seven Game 7's. Will it happen? Plus, my thoughts on the shocking decision by Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello on the firing of coach Barry Trotz.

(41:17) In baseball, things are mostly low key, but there were some stories that I can highlight. The Yankees have the best record in baseball (22-8). There was another no hitter, this time by Angels Reid Detmers. Justin Verlander was flirting for his fourth no hitter, but fell short. The Guardians dealing with COVID and the Brewers Christian Yelich ties a major league mark for cycles in a career.

(49:04) The NFL schedule will be released tonight. I'll discuss the Monday night doubleheader matchup on Sept. 19 that I do not like. And then there's Tom Brady signing on as an analyst/ambassador to a mega 10 year/$375 million dollar contract with FOX. Is Brady ready for the broadcast booth? How do we know if he is?

(3:24) The Suns and Heat have given back 2-0 series leads to the Mavericks and Sixers respectively. Will both teams be able to thwart the underdogs and move onto a conference final? Do the Mavs or Sixers have the means to pull off an astonishing upset? Can Chris Paul bounce back from two subpar games? Is Joel Embiid's return enough to put them over the top? The Warriors ran the Grizzlies out of the gym on Saturday night, and in the process, the Grizz will be without their best player Ja Morant in Game 4. Does Memphis have any shot of winning in an enormous swing game in this series? Was Jordan Poole's tug on Morant's knee a dirty play? Also, can the Bucks take a commanding lead in their series against Boston with a win tonight? Will Jayson Tatum rebound from a nightmare game. A lot of intrigue has taken the second round by storm as the NBA playoffs march on.

(26:13) The Stanley Cup Playoffs has gotten off to a great start. We already have a team that's come back from an 0-2 deficit in the Boston Bruins. Will they have enough to overtake the Carolina Hurricanes and steal this first round series? The Florida Panthers have a lot to answer as their season could be on the brink with a pivotal Game 4 in Washington, down 2-1. Same could be said for the Rangers as they're staring at a 3-1 series possibility. What about their young, high prized draft picks? (Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere) The Rangers are hoping for more of a contribution in order to extend this series as far as they can go. Plus, Tampa gets back in the win column to tie up their series with Toronto. The Kings also even their series with the Oilers. Are the Flames in trouble vs. the Stars? Colorado is the only team in cruise control as they're on the verge of a sweep? And the Blues and Wild looks like it's going to go to a Game 7 as expected as I'll cover all that's happening on the ice as we get deeper into this first round.

(39:39) I'll take a look at the MLB landscape as there have been some injuries to reports (i.e. Marcus Stroman, Zach Wheeler) but with the first month of the season completed, I'll recap what's happening on the diamond as the Mets continue to win series and have the biggest division lead in the sport as of today, the Twins, White Sox, Angels & Astros have played well, the Brewers and Cardinals are holding it down in the NL Central and the NL West has been competitive to date.

(46:14) The Kentucky Derby provided an all time upset as Rich Strike, a horse that was filling in as an alternate for the scratched Ethereal Road at 80-1, wins over heavily favored horses Epicenter and Zandon to finish the first leg of the Triple Crown. Does Rich Strike have a shot to win at the Preakness? Is he a one-hit wonder?

(51:40) Canelo Alvarez was surprisingly dominated by Dmitry Bivol on Saturday night in a WBA super light heavyweight fight. Was that expected from a guy who only lost one other fight previously in his career?

(53:46) Charles Oliveira defeated Justin Gaethje in UFC 274, but did not come out with the belt as the lightweight champion. Why was that the case?

(55:47) The next great tennis star has arrived. Carlos Alcaraz, an 18 year old Spaniard had an impressive run at the Madrid Open winning his fourth title of 2022. Who he beat in the process? You'll have to listen for yourself as this is a guy we'll have to pay attention to on the tennis circuit for years to come.

(3:37) The Stanley Cup Playoffs are off to a flying start as there may be a theme with teams having tough Game 1 losses (i.e. Oilers, Lightning, Wild) bouncing back with victories to even their series. Can the same be said about the Panthers and Rangers tonight? With the Lightning evening up their first round series with the Maple Leafs, it'll be interesting to see how the Leafs respond in Tampa because of their lengthy snakebit track record in the postseason. Is the pressure starting to mount for Toronto? I'll review what took place throughout the sport over the first three days, including some chippiness in Calgary and Toronto as you know, I have quite a bit to say about rough, physical play during the playoffs.

(20:25) The NBA is well into the second round and there's not a lot of drama with half of the remaining series. Sixers-Heat and Mavericks-Suns look to be quick series although both the Sixers and Mavs haven't had a chance to defend home court. Then there's the James Harden narrative that he's not the same player that he once was. Is there truth in that? As for the Bucks-Celtics, Jaylen Brown redeems himself from an awful Game 1, gets the series even as they head to Milwaukee for the weekend. Same for the Grizzlies as they get the equalizer over the Warriors. It's been a testy first two games with Draymond Green in the middle of it all. I'll explain why he needs to pipe down as his antics on and off the court have grown tiresome.

(31:20) The baseball season is almost a month in. I'll take a look at some surprises and disappointments so far as we're about 28-30 games into this campaign. And a big series upcoming for the Phillies. Is manager Joe Girardi in hot water? And thank God for Mets owner, Steve Cohen. I'll explain why.

(41:36) I'll touch on some NFL news and notes (Saints signing Tyrann Mathieu. Ryan Tannehill's mental issues after the playoff loss to Cincinnati) but the NFL schedule makers have released the five games that are played overseas in London, Germany and Mexico. Are those games that yours truly are looking forward to?

(49:22) The beginning of the Triple Crown season starts on Saturday as the Kentucky Derby kicks off the first leg at Churchill Downs. I'll share who is the favorite to win and what horses to look out for as the 148th Run for the Roses draws near.

On deck: (3:37) The Stanley Cup Playoffs are off to a flying start as there may be a theme with teams having tough Game 1 losses...
(3:37) The Stanley Cup Playoffs are off to a flying start as there may be a theme with teams having tough Game 1 losses (i.e. Oilers, Lightning, Wild) bouncing back with victories to even their series. Can the same be said about the Panthers and Rangers tonight? With the Lightning evening up their first round series with the Maple Leafs, it'll be interesting to see how the Leafs respond in Tampa because of their lengthy snakebit track record in the postseason. Is the pressure starting to mount for Toronto? I'll review what took place throughout the sport over the first three days, including some chippiness in Calgary and Toronto as you know, I have quite a bit to say about rough, physical play during the playoffs.

(20:25) The NBA is well into the second round and there's not a lot of drama with half of the remaining series. Sixers-Heat and Mavericks-Suns look to be quick series although both the Sixers and Mavs haven't had a chance to defend home court. Then there's the James Harden narrative that he's not the same player that he once was. Is there truth in that? As for the Bucks-Celtics, Jaylen Brown redeems himself from an awful Game 1, gets the series even as they head to Milwaukee for the weekend. Same for the Grizzlies as they get the equalizer over the Warriors. It's been a testy first two games with Draymond Green in the middle of it all. I'll explain why he needs to pipe down as his antics on and off the court have grown tiresome.

(3:25) I'll start off with a little synopsis of what lies ahead in the month of May when it comes to the sports calendar (i.e. PGA Championship, Kentucky Derby & Indianapolis 500)

(5:23) We can finally zero in on a Stanley Cup Playoff run as I'll preview the top storylines heading into the opening round (i.e. Tampa's chances to three-peat? Will Colorado & Florida's regular season success translate in the postseason? The end of the Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang era in Pittsburgh? Also, the Toronto Maple Leafs quest for a deep playoff run), as well as, going through each of the first round series and predict who'll move onto the Conference Semifinals.

(34:41) The first round of the NBA playoffs went out like a lamb, instead of a lion. I'll get into the Timberwolves record implosions in the fourth quarter (and most of the series for that matter), Chris Paul's perfect night in New Orleans and the Jazz going out with a whimper vs. Dallas. I'll look back as the second round begun yesterday with a stifling Bucks performance in Boston and the Warriors hanging on to steal Game 1 in Memphis. Plus, a preview of Sixers-Heat and Mavericks-Suns, with discussion around James Harden as he's going to have to carry a huge load in the first few games with MVP candidate Joel Embiid out for possibly three games.

(49:31) MLB has suspended former Dodger pitcher Trevor Bauer two years for his actions in regards to sordid details coming from an affair he had with a woman in Los Angeles. Was the punishment over the line? Does he ever pitch again? The Yankees have ripped off nine wins in a row. The Mets continue to win series (including a combined no-hitter vs. the Phillies) Does that carry the same weight as your standard no-hitter?

(56:55) I've never been one to get into the winners and losers of a particular NFL draft, but I'll go through who did well (Jets, Eagles) and who didn't (Patriots, Cowboys) for starters. I'll share my thoughts on the Steelers drafting a QB right in their own backyard at Pitt (i.e. Kenny Pickett) and how come they didn't draft an offensive lineman? Also, why the draft NEEDS to be back at Radio City Music Hall in New York City?

(1:06:45) To close out, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:06) As the first round of the NBA playoffs comes to a close, the most intriguing storyline is whether or not that the Sixers have what it takes to move onto the next round and avoid a seventh game and epic collapse in the process. Will Coach Doc Rivers get to seal the deal and move onto the Conference Semifinals? Or will history be made as we've never seen a team come back from a 3-0 series lead? And what about Rivers's comments regarding blowing 3-1 series leads in the past as coach of the Orlando Magic and LA Clippers? Plus, the rest of the postseason landscape where we have the Suns (with the possible return of Devin Booker), Mavericks and Grizzlies on the cusp of moving on.

(24:42) The Mets have gotten off to a tremendous start, but they have been the target of opposing pitchers as their lineup has been hit more by pitches than any other team in the majors. It boiled over in St. Louis as tempers flared and the benches cleared. Will there be any affect when they meet again at Citi Field in three weeks? Also, a word to the Met fan that although the first 20 games have been magnificent, but let's not call this a 'special season' just yet.

(37:48) NHL fans rejoice! The season concludes tomorrow. Not a lot of interest or drama heading down the stretch as we have our 16 teams that have qualified for the postseason. I'll get into it more on Monday as I'll review the top storylines and first round matchups as the run for the Stanley Cup begins next week.

(41:00) Tonight, the NFL draft commences. The next three days will be filled with rumors, trades, reaches and surprises. I'll take a look at what some teams may do in a first round that doesn't have a lot of buzz. Will some of the quarterbacks discussed (Pitt's Kenny Pickett & Liberty's Malik Willis) get chosen or fall out of Round 1?

(4:34) It's been a not so great playoff to date for the Brooklyn Nets as they're one loss away from being swept out of the postseason. I know it may be a bit premature, but there needs to be an organizational evaluation as their season is on the brink. What does owner Joe Tsai do? Should Steve Nash be fired? Do you re-sign Kyrie Irving to a max deal? The Ben Simmons fiasco. The drama never stops with this franchise. Where does it go from here? I'll shed a little light on this and everything that's taken place during this first round, including, can the Pelicans and Timberwolves pull off big upsets? Also, the inconsistency of Chris Paul, a coach fired in Charlotte and Chet Holmgren entering the draft is a mistake, in my opinion.

(34:22) We're finally into the final week of the NHL season. There's an interesting storyline developing in DC as Capitals star winger, Alexander Ovechkin left yesterday's game with an upper body injury. Will he be out of the lineup come playoff time? With a furious wild card race out West between Dallas, Nashville, Vegas and Vancouver, who has the upper hand in making it into the dance? And the hockey world lost another legendary player as former Montreal Canadiens great, Guy LaFleur passed away late last week at the age of 70.

(45:00) Baseball celebrates yet another milestone as Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera becomes the 7th player to 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Although there was a delay longer than normal (I'll explain) and also get into his career to date as a sure fire first ballot Hall of Fame player. I'll also get into the disgraceful act by the Yankee fans on Saturday with Cleveland Guardians outfielder Myles Straw. White Sox OF Eloy Jimenez will miss a lot of time for a second straight year with a hamstring injury. Will that set the Sox the back in the AL Central? I'll take a look at the MLB landscape as we're two plus weeks into the baseball season.

(55:24) The NFL schedule won't be released until May 12th, but word came out that not one, not two, but THREE games are on the Christmas Day docket this year. They are The Shield (aka NFL) for a reason as they continue to bulldoze and dump on the other leagues (in particular the annual NBA Christmas schedule) as the high and mighty continue to flex their muscles as the dominant sport that everyone loves to follow. I'll get into my displeasure of that...

(3:42) The NBA playoffs have took a bit of a turn with the two representatives of last years' Finals teams. Suns G Devin Booker and Bucks F/G Khris Middleton will be out of the lineup for at least a couple of games in their first round series due to injury. Is there a chance of a first round upset with both of those guys out? I'll also cover the rest of the postseason landscape. Luka on the mend with a possible Game 3 start in Utah? Do the Nets have a chance to come back in their series with Boston? What about the Hawks? Is Memphis back on track to take a lead vs. Minnesota?

(21:47) Villanova Wildcats basketball coach Jay Wright, surprisingly retires from coaching as he passes the torch to former assistant Kyle Neptune. Will the university skip a beat with Wright no longer on the sideline?

(24:57) The NHL is a little more than a week away from concluding their regular season. There isn't much drama going on, but you have a couple of races in each conference that could determine seeding (in the East with Tampa/Boston and Pittsburgh/Washington) or possibly elimination (Dallas, Nashville, Vegas, Vancouver) as I'll dissect and monitor as to who may make it? And who may not?

(33:04) MLB is two weeks into their season. Over the past few days, we had Freddie Freeman facing his former team (same for Braves Kenley Jansen). Max Scherzer's fast start as he's 3-0. The woes of Gerrit Cole as his start has been the opposite of the Mets starter, but it was Aaron Boone's comments on his struggling ace that had me aggravated! The impressive debut of Reds P Hunter Greene. The unveiling of Tom Seaver's statue at Citi Field. And the coverage of Apple TV as they'll be streaming games throughout the year. Is it anything to write home about?

(40:10) The wide receivers in the NFL have made a ton of money this offseason (i.e. Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill and Devante Adams) but there are two in the league that are taking different approaches to getting their big payday. 49ers Deebo Samuel is requesting a trade and Rams Cooper Kupp wants a fair deal for him and the team. How will these scenarios play out? And what are the Browns doing with Baker Mayfield? Why are they taking their time in trading their former quarterback?

(46:45) The All England Club at Wimbledon made a staunch decision to not let any Russian or Belarusian players participate in their tournament come late June. Which means, one of the top ranked men's players in the world (Daniil Medvedev) will not be a part of the festivities. Was this a rash decision? Could they have waited it out? Could you blame them?

(3:42) The NBA playoffs have took a bit of a turn with the two representatives of last years' Finals teams. Suns G Devin Booker and Bucks F/G Khris Middleton will be out of the lineup for at least a couple of games in their first round series due to injury. Is there a chance of a first round upset with both of those guys out? I'll also cover the rest of the postseason landscape. Luka on the mend with a possible Game 3 start in Utah? Do the Nets have a chance to come back in their series with Boston? What about the Hawks? Is Memphis back on track to take a lead vs. Minnesota?

(3:01) The NBA postseason is off and running. Not a stellar weekend overall, but you had the two play-in games (Atlanta-Cleveland, New Orleans-LA Clippers) that were entertaining. And then the epic Game 1 showdown between Brooklyn-Boston which proved to be the highlight of the eight games on Saturday and Sunday. I'll dissect the key moments in that game, what the long term affect could be for both teams in this series and beyond and go around the Association to fill you in on all of the Game 1's as the road to the NBA Finals has begun.

(31:38) The Mets have gotten off to a very good start winning their first three series, going 7-3. Upcoming is an early season test as the San Francisco Giants invade Citi Field for three games to see where they stand against one of the better teams in the NL. The Braves will visit Chavez Ravine and see an old face in a new uniform (i.e. Freddie Freeman) as they meet for the first time since last years' NLCS. Angels manager, Joe Maddon made a strange move in a game vs. Texas as he always tries to 'outsmart' his opponent, but they're off to a good start in this early part of the season.

(39:51) The NHL is down to its final week and a half of games, but the sport lost a legendary scorer on a championship dynasty as Islander great, Mike Bossy, passed away due to lung cancer at the age of 65. I'll touch on some of the highlights of his wonderful career and bring you up to speed if there is going to be any drama in the wild card or division races as we get to the homestretch.

(45:38) Football wraps up the final segment as there was a couple of notable signings (CB Stephon Gilmore to Indy and WR Sammy Watkins to Green Bay) Also, a terrible incident involving Cowboys CB, Kelvin Joseph as the league has to deal with more news off the field than on.

(49:09) In conclusion, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(2:48) The NBA Playoffs are on the horizon as we're just about through the play-in tournament. I'll dissect all that has taken place to this point, what to expect in the final play in games (i.e. ATL-CLE & NO-LAC) tomorrow night and peek in on the opening weekend playoff slate, with predictions of who'll win. As well as, some very intriguing storylines circling around the Phoenix Suns, the Brooklyn Nets and James Harden & the Sixers.

(39:09) Dodgers P Clayton Kershaw pitched an absolute gem vs. the Twins where he was perfect through seven innings. I'll explain why he robbed us of a potential historic moment? The exploits of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (and why he should've won the MVP over Shohei Ohtani last year?), the slow start for Yankees P Gerrit Cole and how the Mets bounced back nicely after a typical brutal loss on Monday to win a series in Philadelphia.

(49:05) The NHL is getting into the homestretch of their regular season. The Avalanche and Panthers have played at a torrid clip recently and could be on a collision course to a Stanley Cup Final. There's still plenty of hockey to be played as I'll review which teams are still in the hunt for the wild card in each conference as we're just fifteen days away from the conclusion of the 82 game schedule.

(53:30) Derek Carr signs an extension with the Las Vegas Raiders, but a no-trade clause? Also, Baker Mayfield just can't shut up as he said recently on a podcast that he's been 'disrespected' in Cleveland. Where will he be shipped to? And when?

SPOTIFY PODCAST LINK: 3610cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/scheffler-master-ful-as-tiger-the-field-
(2:43) The Masters did not live up to its billing over the weekend, but #1 ranked golfer of the world Scottie Scheffler sure did and then some. He wins his first ever green jacket as he cruises to victory. I'll recap how the contenders weren't able to keep up with Scheffler, as well as, what Tiger Woods did over the weekend. Will we see Tiger participating in another major tournament in the near future?

(16:22) The NBA season has finally concluded! It's time to get set for playoff (well, at least, play in) basketball. I'll go through the schedule as the #7 seeds will play #8 and #9 will play the #10 seeds in each conference. I'll discuss the carnage in LA as coach Frank Vogel has been given his walking papers. I'll tell you who should've gotten the ax instead of the head coach as the Lakers were mismanaged and vastly underachieved. Plus, some storylines heading into the week regarding injuries (i.e. Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry & Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray and Gordon Hayward) the availability of Sixers Matisse Thybulle vs. Toronto. And a big thank you to Nikola Jokic as he saved me from going under .500 in my over/under win totals for the year.

(28:59) The main story out of the weekend in the MLB was the non-contract extension to Yankees RF, Aaron Judge. Was GM Brian Cashman performing damage control to the fans and the media by addressing full details of the contract? Is Judge at risk for betting on himself through his walk season? The Mets had an eventful weekend in Washington winning three out of four. How the team is taking their lead behind their manager, Buck Showalter? The fallout between Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuna Jr. The Pirates signed one of their prized prospects. Plus, former Padres pitcher Chris Paddack gets traded to Minnesota. Was that a good move by San Diego?

(41:18) The NFL mourns the loss of former Washington/Pittsburgh QB Dwayne Haskins as he died on Saturday after being hit by a truck on a Florida highway. How did this happen? Could this have been prevented? Sadly, there were a couple of other deaths in the sport from players of yesteryear. (Cowboys Hall of Fame Tackle, Rayfield Wright and Oilers/Giants running back, Gary Brown) A re-signing in Baltimore (DE, Calais Campbell), Bruce Arians stepping down for Todd Bowles in Tampa and a new stadium to be built in Buffalo. Guess who has to take the brunt of the paying for most of that?

(50:50) The Maple Leafs Auston Matthews has had a tremendous goal scoring run. He's flirting with the 60 goal mark, but the bigger question is, can he do this when the money is on the line in the postseason? I'll also touch on the wild card races, especially out West, where we're down to the final two and a half weeks of the regular season.

(53:58) To wrap up, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:10) The 2022 baseball season is here! I'll go through all of the divisions, share my over/under selections, a preview of my beloved Mets and who'll make it to the World Series? A surprising prediction that you won't want to miss as we're about to raise the curtain on another year of hardball.

(40:49) Tiger Woods is the top story as The Masters commences today. Does he have a shot to be at or near the top of the leaderboard come Sunday? I'll preview all of what may take shape in Augusta and my prediction as to who will win the first major golf tournament of 2022.

(49:30) I'll recap what was a thrilling NCAA Tournament and Championship Game as the Kansas Jayhawks win in historic fashion. Trailing by 15 points to upend the North Carolina Tar Heels to secure the second title for coach, Bill Self. Should Carolina fans be happy with how the tournament played out? Or bitter because they fell a basket short?

(53:15) I'll touch on some NFL news including the new overtime rule in the postseason, how the Rams payroll is stretched thin with another big signing and Stefon Diggs gets extended in Buffalo as the NFL Draft is three weeks away.

(58:29) And I'll introduce a new social media platform as another avenue for you to follow that'll tie into the podcast for everyone to enjoy.

(4:35) I begin with a synopsis of the reasons why I've expanded the podcast to twice a week.

(8:40) I'll also discuss my sojourn to Northern California (San Francisco/Bay Area) as I detail my experience in celebrating another birthday. The beauty of being a sports fan living in the Pacific time zone. I shout out a couple of dear friends who were vital in making our stay pleasurable, but this theme does have a connection with sports. Including, my purpose and responsibility to you the listener, for navigating the podcast in a new direction moving forward.

(18:36) Which leads me to the Final Four this past weekend. Kansas continues to roll in this tournament, while the Mike Krzyzewski era ends against their arch rivals in North Carolina. I'll break down what I was able to see (hence the previous segment), the bitter end of Coach K's career and preview tonight's title game as the Tar Heels try to upend the top seeded Jayhawks. I'll throw some bouquets at the Women's NCAA Champion South Carolina Gamecocks, who ran right past UConn for their second title in five years.

(32:06) I'll stick with hoops as we can put an epitaph on the Lakers embarrassingly underachieving season. Is this the most disappointing season in sports history for a team that had championship aspirations? Does Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have what it takes to make a deep playoff run? Why is Joel Embiid making it all about his MVP candidacy this late in the season? I'll dissect what the latest is happening throughout the Association and introduce who the 2022 Hall of Fame recipients are as we've entered the final week of this long regular season.

(49:45) Is the sky falling for the Met fan like myself? With Jacob deGrom on the shelf for a minimum of four weeks with shoulder tightness and prized free agent, Max Scherzer dealing with hamstring tightness, the Mets could get off to a slow start. Will deGrom's health ever improve? Will he be the pitcher that he once was? Plus, the signing of Albert Pujols comes full circle in St. Louis as he signs a one year deal with the Cardinals to close out his career.

(57:55) Could we have a potential 1996 Stanley Cup Final rematch between Colorado & Florida? They are the two best teams in each conference as of this moment. I'll go around the ice to bring you up to speed on the NHL landscape. (The Lightning's chances to three-peat. Are the Islanders still alive for a Wild Card spot? The Flyers handling of Keith Yandle's iron man streak. And the unfortunate passing of the Senators owner, Larry Melnyk)

(1:05:21) Will Tiger Woods make it all the way back from a near fatal car accident 14 months ago to participate in the first major golf tournament of 2022? That'll be the biggest question leading up to Thursday's tee time as the Masters will commence in Augusta.

(1:10:18) To conclude, I'll have my Hero and Zero of the Week. And a heads up on another social media platform that I'll jump into for the very first time come later this week.

(5:27) The Final Four is set! You couldn't have predicted a better Semifinal Saturday as Duke will go up against hated rival in North Carolina. While Kansas will try to slay some demons as they have another date with Villanova with a national championship on the line. I'll cover how these teams got here, sprinkle in some disappointment with Gonzaga, Arizona and the Cinderella St. Peter's Peacocks in Jersey City and look ahead to both matchups, the big takes from each game and the history of each school as it'll culminate in a national title.

(33:10) There were two big transactions that transpired in the NFL last week with Matt Ryan going to Indianapolis. Does he have anything left? Then the Kansas City Chiefs send Tyreek Hill in a package for a plethora of draft picks to Miami. Are the Chiefs not as invincible with this move? What does this mean for Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa? Will he able to produce with the pieces now put in place for him to succeed? And with the loss of another wide receiver in Green Bay, how does this affect Aaron Rodgers as the Pack try to make another run at a Super Bowl?

(41:40) Break up the Boston Celtics. They've been on a tremendous run since January. Are they a threat to come out of the East? Kyrie Irving can finally play in home games as the vaccine mandate has been lifted in New York City. Will he be able to build enough continuity to close out the regular season on a high note? What about Ben Simmons? Is he close to returning in the lineup? As for the Lakers, they're holding onto dear life to make the postseason. And the Suns continue to rise high and shine bright as they look to get back to the Finals.

(53:13) The NHL still has a bit more than a month to go to conclude their schedule. I'll provide an update throughout the league, including the Wild Card chase in each conference as we'll see if there'll be any drama as we approach the homestretch on this marathon of a season. I'll also share my thoughts and experience on the new UBS Arena, home of the NY Islanders, as I had a chance to take in a game there recently.

(59:54) Baseball will be in our consciousness soon enough as the new year begins in ten days. The big question of the moment in the sport. Are the Yankees going to offer a lucrative contract to pending free agent outfielder, Aaron Judge, before Opening Day?

(1:02:32) With the Masters a week and a half away, Phil Mickelson has bowed out of the tournament for the first time in almost 30 years. Will this do him some good?

(1:04:22) And in closing, a different installment of my Hero and Zero of the Week!

(4:51) March Madness has certainly lived up to its' billing as we've seen a #1 seed go down (Baylor) two others (Gonzaga & Arizona) were on the brink of elimination, Kansas had little to no trouble in winning their two games and the double digit Cinderella teams in Miami, Iowa St., Michigan and St. Peter's have all punched their ticket into the Sweet Sixteen. How has the tournament been to date? Can we expect an encore this upcoming weekend? Who could be the Final Four teams that'll make their way down to New Orleans the weekend after next?

(25:50) The next three segment all center around one thing: player movement. I'll start off with just about everyone's favorite sport, that being football and the NFL. The move that rocked and shocked the league was Deshaun Watson acquired by the Cleveland Browns, sending a boatload of draft capital to Houston. This deal has so many layers. The amount paid by the Browns to procure the embattled QB. The region who's still looking for their first Super Bowl appearance and the pressure that'll be placed at the feet of Watson trying to not just deliver on the field, but be a model citizen off of it. I'll also discuss the future of Baker Mayfield, moves by the Raiders (i.e. Davante Adams & Chandler Jones), the Bills (what Von Miller's impact on a team trying to get over the hump.

(40:01) On deck with player movement is the MLB as the Braves made hay as they traded for A's 1B Matt Olson and signed him to a long term deal, signaling the end of the Freddie Freeman era in Atlanta. Was it a smart move? Was it the right move? Plus, other big signings that I dissect in Trevor Story (somewhat surprising), Kris Bryant (very surprising), Carlos Correa (absolutely shocking) and other acquisitions that are important to the baseball landscape, as well as, the latest with vaccination status pertaining to the Mets and Yankees in NYC that you won't want to miss.

(56:19) The NHL trade deadline is scheduled for 3pm today as teams jockey for position to put themselves in the Stanley Cup Playoff mix. The biggest deal to date is former Flyers captain Claude Giroux as he was dealt to the Eastern Conference leading Florida Panthers. Is he the final piece to their championship puzzle? What will some of the other teams do as the deadline approaches?

(1:03:00) The top stories coming out of the NBA in the past week are Kyrie's stellar performance in Orlando (but still waiting for the vaccination mandates to be lifted. We know the impact that will have on the Nets come April, May, etc.) Steph Curry's ankle injury with the Warriors flailing a bit and another milestone for LeBron James as he passes Karl Malone for second all time in scoring.

(1:10:43) To wrap up, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The biggest deal to date is former Flyers captain Claude Giroux as he was dealt to the Eastern Conference leading Florida Panthers. Is he the final piece to their championship puzzle? What will some of the other teams do as the deadline approaches?

(1:03:00) The top stories coming out of the NBA in the past week are Kyrie's stellar performance in Orlando (but still waiting for the vaccination mandates to be lifted. We know the impact that will have on the Nets come April, May, etc.) Steph Curry's ankle injury with the Warriors flailing a bit and another milestone for LeBron James as he passes Karl Malone for second all time in scoring.

(1:10:43) To wrap up, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:58) I'll open with a brief discussion about my health, the end of the Sports Dead Zone, Part 1 and how we've turned the corner to indulge on a plethora of sports & topics that we can sink our teeth into.

(8:15) Let the Madness begin! The NCAA Tournament will commence with the play-in games tomorrow and Wednesday night. Then we'll have the frenetic pace of Thursday, Friday and into the weekend as we'll be immersed in wall to wall college basketball throughout the week. I'll breakdown each bracket, share my Final Four teams and who'll be champion when it's all said and done. I also have a few words on my favorite college team (Georgetown) and how their historic losing season factors into their future with coach Patrick Ewing at the helm.

(34:34) Baseball is finally back! I'll get into how this agreement was finally agreed upon, what the new rules are for 2022 and 2023? Some signings and trades that have taken place and what to expect for the top flight free agents (i.e. Freddie Freeman, Carlos Correa, Trevor Story) that are unsigned?

(51:20) Super Bowl LVI concluded a month ago yesterday, but 'The Shield' is strong arming their way to the top of the sports news cycle. A lot has developed over the past week (i.e. Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson, et. al) and then the bombshell of the unretirement of Tom Brady. I'll have plenty to say about all of the above, as well as, the free agency year commences on Wednesday to really set the offseason fireworks even higher than it has been. Plus, my thoughts on the egregious suspension handed down to Falcons WR Calvin Ridley for the 2022 season. And Joe Buck will reunite with Troy Aikman in the broadcast booth at ESPN. What does this mean for the Monday Night schedule? Also, who fills his big shoes at FOX when it comes to baseball?

(1:13:29) The Brooklyn Nets are revving their engines for the final lap of this NBA season. They're on a little winning streak and there was a Kyrie Irving sighting in the arena over the weekend. Why he needs to play in home games NOW and it isn’t on Kyrie? With LeBron James eclipsing the 10,000 assist mark, making him the only player in NBA history to score 10K in points, rebounds and assists, does he have the greatest overall career in the 75 year history of the sport?

(1:21:29) The Jack Eichel saga came full circle last week as he played in Buffalo for the first time since the trade months ago to Vegas. How did he come across in the postgame after being booed by the Sabre faithful? I make a brief mention of Capitals winger, Alexander Ovechkin as he continues to rise the goal scoring charts as he sits third time all-time behind Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky.

(1:24:23) To close out, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

SPREAKER: 5397cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/nbas-heat-team-to-beat-in-east-celtic-re
(4:17) The NBA is about to hit the homestretch of their season. There is one team that hasn't been a surprise or have gone under the radar, but are the Miami Heat the team to beat in the Eastern Conference? I'll get into this Celtics revival in Boston. Are they a team to be reckoned with in the East? And the Warriors precipitous drop in the West. Is there cause for concern with the Dubs?

(27:18) It is Conference Championship Week in college basketball as Selection Sunday is just days away. The top story in the sport revolves around the final game coached by Duke's Mike Kryzyzewski at home in a loss versus archrival, North Carolina. Will this defeat fuel the Blue Devils to a long tournament run? Or will they fizzle out as Coach K will soon ride off into the sunset as one of the greatest coaches ever in the history of sports?

(38:05) MLB's Armageddon continues to wreak havoc as the first six games of the regular season are toast. The players have nixed the owner's proposal as of last week. Now, the players have come back to the table to engage on trying to settle an agreement so that baseball doesn't lose anymore games. Will the owners agree? Will there be a target as to when the season begins? I'll get into all that's taken place over the last week and up to today as the sport, as well as, who's to blame for this mess as it looks to get out from the rubble in hopes of salvaging an early beginning to the 2022 season. There was a shocking development that took place in Miami as Derek Jeter stepped down as CEO and surrendered his shares of the Marlins franchise. How will this impact the state of the organization? What will Jeter do next?

(54:17) Alexander Ovechkin inches closer to third all time of goals scored in the NHL. And just when you think the season is approaching the end of their regular season, think again?

(56:11) If you're expecting a few words on the NFL Scouting Combine, you'll have to look elsewhere. But I will share some thoughts on the Cardinals re-signing coach Kliff Kingsbury to an extension. Was he deserving to receive such an honor?

(58:56) Colby Covington wins a grudge match against his old friend Jorge Masvidal in convincing fashion. Is Covington a guy to keep our eyes on moving forward?

(1:00:29) Before I close out, I'll share a future programming note about which direction the podcast will go as you'll get TWICE of yours truly weekly starting next month on April 7th.

(4:12) A couple of housekeeping notes to begin the podcast. First, acknowledging the horrific events that are taking place in Ukraine. Second, on the eve of the podcast's fourth anniversary, I give a shout out to my supporters with a heads up on a couple of changes to the format in the weeks to come.

(7:12) MLB is up against the clock as it tries to hammer down a new collective bargaining agreement by midnight tonight. If not, the start of the baseball season will be delayed. Which side is yours truly on? Will the players blink? How will this play out?

(19:12) The two big stories in the NBA are focused on both the momentum of the Sixers and Nets. No, not just because of their blockbuster trade a few weeks ago, but the early returns of the James Harden/Joel Embiid marriage is going as wonderful as expected. Can this Sixer team rely on how Harden performs in May and June, not February and March? As for Kyrie Irving possibly coming back to start in home games, Kevin Durant about to come off the injured list and the long awaited debut of Ben Simmons, the Nets could look to rebound and get close to the top of the Eastern Conference if all falls right. Plus, I have some chatter on the Suns without Chris Paul. Can Devin Booker be the leader that his team needs in CP3's absence? What about the Lakers? Will they even qualify for the play-in tournament? I wrap up with the disappointment that is the Knicks.

(38:05) A historic day in NCAA Men's Basketball took place on Saturday as seven of the top 10 teams, including the top SIX teams in the nation, all lost. Is it early to tell who'll be the top four seeds in the country come tournament time? Is this year as wide open as we've ever seen in the sport? Is there such thing as a Cinderella story?

(45:53) Are the two time back to back Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning flying under the radar? Sounds crazy, but I'll explain. Also, I'll show some love to Islanders D Zdeno Chara for becoming the all time games played by a defenseman in league history. With the trade deadline just three weeks away, it'll be interesting to see which teams will acquire key pieces to a championship puzzle.

(56:03) There was a surprise retirement announcement over the weekend that Buccaneers Pro Bowl G, Ali Marpet, called it a career after seven seasons in the NFL. Early retirements have played a huge part in the league over the course of the last decade or so. Should this come as a shock to the football fan? I'll also share some sad news as two former NFL offensive players have passed away over the past week (Oilers WR Ken Burrough and Chargers RB Lionel James)

(1:01:34) I have a few words on Phil Mickelson, who was my Zero of last week, as sponsors have severed ties based on his comments from an excerpt of a book that's being released that were derogatory towards the people of Saudi Arabia.

(4:36) Ladies & gentleman, the time has come. The pomp and circumstance of the NFL is in our rearview mirror, the fall/winter sports are in full effect, but we have officially entered The Sports Dead Zone, Part 1. I'll discuss what that is, and when we'll be out of it.

(7:01) Armageddon continues in the MLB as talks should ratchet up in hopes of a deal being reached between the owners and players. I discuss the three sticking points that's holding up this negotiation, Juan Soto's $350 million dollar offer by the Nationals, but I go deeper by saying what's baseball biggest problem (and what could be done to fix it) even if an agreement comes to pass as early as today. I'll also get into the sentencing of former Angels communications director, Eric Kay, who was responsible in the death of former pitcher, Tyler Skaggs. And Matt Harvey did what while he was a member of the Mets?

(28:24) The NBA All-Star Weekend has come and gone as I didn't peep a second of the festivities. I'll take a look ahead of the 'second half', rather 1/3 of the rest of the regular season. I'll get into some of the buzz coming into and out of the break. (Anthony Davis's health, the Lakers big picture for this season, LeBron James's comments on going back to Cleveland, the Lakers long term prospects post LeBron, what Chris Paul's injury means for the Suns, which teams could go deep in the playoffs and how many teams will be in the discussion for an NBA title?) I'll check in on my NBA over/under numbers to date, which isn't close to what I did in the NFL.

(45:39) Juwan Howard gets into hot water again as his late game skirmish, striking an assistant coach of Wisconsin will get him suspended a couple of games by the NCAA. Should the University of Michigan suspend him for the remainder of the season? Plus, the rest of the college basketball landscape as March Madness is three weeks away.

(51:56) Jack Eichel made his long awaited return to the ice, as he debuted with his new team, the Vegas Golden Knights last Wednesday. He scored his first goal as a Knight in a win over the weekend. Is he the final piece to a championship puzzle? In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby reached the lofty 500th goal milestone of his illustrious career. I'll bestow some congratulations on the future Hall of Famer and all time great Penguin.

(58:33) Former Dolphins coach, Brian Flores resurfaces back in the league as he was hired as a defensive assistant/linebackers coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Was this a good hire? What is the league thinking about him being back on an NFL sideline? As for college football, the playoff will not expand in the next year or so as many would have hoped. We'll have to wait at least four seasons before a change will be made.

(1:04:38) I'll wrap up with some thoughts about the Winter Olympics and the Daytona 500.

(1:07:41) And to close out, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

I'll get you through these cold winter weeks and warm your sports heart as Episode #239 delivers what you want,...
(4:36) Ladies & gentleman, the time has come. The pomp and circumstance of the NFL is in our rearview mirror, the fall/winter sports are in full effect, but we have officially entered The Sports Dead Zone, Part 1. I'll discuss what that is, and when we'll be out of it.

(7:01) Armageddon continues in the MLB as talks should ratchet up in hopes of a deal being reached between the owners and players. I discuss the three sticking points that's holding up this negotiation, Juan Soto's $350 million dollar offer by the Nationals, but I go deeper by saying what's baseball biggest problem (and what could be done to fix it) even if an agreement comes to pass as early as today. I'll also get into the sentencing of former Angels communications director, Eric Kay, who was responsible in the death of former pitcher, Tyler Skaggs. And Matt Harvey did what while he was a member of the Mets?

(28:24) The NBA All-Star Weekend has come and gone as I didn't peep a second of the festivities. I'll take a look ahead of the 'second half', rather 1/3 of the rest of the regular season. I'll get into some of the buzz coming into and out of the break. (Anthony Davis's health, the Lakers big picture for this season, LeBron James's comments on going back to Cleveland, the Lakers long term prospects post LeBron, what Chris Paul's injury means for the Suns, which teams could go deep in the playoffs and how many teams will be in the discussion for an NBA title?) I'll check in on my NBA over/under numbers to date, which isn't close to what I did in the NFL.

(45:39) Juwan Howard gets into hot water again as his late game skirmish, striking an assistant coach of Wisconsin will get him suspended a couple of games by the NCAA. Should the University of Michigan suspend him for the remainder of the season? Plus, the rest of the college basketball landscape as March Madness is three weeks away.

(51:56) Jack Eichel made his long awaited return to the ice, as he debuted with his new team, the Vegas Golden Knights last Wednesday. He scored his first goal as a Knight in a win over the weekend. Is he the final piece to a championship puzzle? In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby reached the lofty 500th goal milestone of his illustrious career. I'll bestow some congratulations on the future Hall of Famer and all time great Penguin.

(58:33) Former Dolphins coach, Brian Flores resurfaces back in the league as he was hired as a defensive assistant/linebackers coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Was this a good hire? What is the league thinking about him being back on an NFL sideline? As for college football, the playoff will not expand in the next year or so as many would have hoped. We'll have to wait at least four seasons before a change will be made.

(1:04:38) I'll wrap up with some thoughts about the Winter Olympics and the Daytona 500.

(1:07:41) And to close out, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:45) A Super ultra, mega recap of the big game last night as the Rams squeak out a Super Bowl victory in the final moments out at So-Fi Stadium vs. the Bengals. I'll highlight the talk surrounding Sean McVay (the win/his coaching future), Matthew Stafford (cementing the trade to LA/Hall of Fame legacy?) and Aaron Donald (big game production, possible retirement?). As for the Bengals themselves, another bitter Super Bowl loss in their franchise's history, the Logan Wilson 'hold' and a full deep dive of this game. From Odell Beckham Jr.'s injury, the non-call on Tee Higgins's TD catch, the game defining drive by McVay, Stafford and Cooper Kupp, and much more. I'll also touch on the Halftime show (good, not great) the commercials (another Peacock ad?) lackluster 2022 Hall of Fame class, new coaching hires in New Orleans and Houston, more off the field transgressions from players (Alvin Kamara, Adrian Peterson) and is the Kyler Murray/Arizona Cardinal marriage on the rocks?

(48:25) The NBA had an eventful trade deadline with the highlight being the blockbuster between James Harden and Ben Simmons. Which team will benefit from this deal in the short term? Long term? Plus, other deals that were impactful throughout the league.

(1:02:52) The college basketball season will start to pick up as we're less than a month away from Selection Sunday. Auburn will drop out of the top spot in the country as the sport is wide open as to who'll rise to the top come March.

(1:04:59) There were a couple of coaching changes in the NHL, but the big one comes in Edmonton as the Oilers look to get themselves right and have a big postseason run that many expect. Will this be the boost that they need to become a threat out in the West? Also, I'll spend a minute on the Brad Marchand suspension. How does he get away with his repeated actions on the ice?

(1:10:50) As for the MLB, we're still on hold on whether the 2022 season will start on time. What about spring training? Where do we stand as of today? Some sad deaths of former players in the sport (Gerald Williams & Jeremy Giambi) and Trevor Bauer isn't charged for the allegations over rough sexual intercourse with a woman out in California. Will he be suspended by baseball? Will he be back on the Dodgers once the CBA comes to pass?

(1:19:04) And to close out, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:33) I kick off the podcast with a sincere apology for some sloppy 'play' last week as I own up to a few mistakes that took place in Episode #236.

(7:37) With the Super Bowl just six days away, you know what's coming? The Sports Dead Zone #1 is on the horizon. I'll share some thoughts about that and enjoying this upcoming week ahead as we lead into Super Bowl LVI.

(11:41) All of the storylines, key matchups, the point spread, over/under number, the Halftime show, even the commercials are full game during this segment as I get into everything about this Super Bowl between the Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals, which'll include my prediction of who'll win. I'll also get into the following: the 2022 Hall of Fame Finalists, the retirement of Tom Brady (Is he the GOAT? Is he the greatest athlete of all time?), Brian Flores's lawsuit vs. the NFL, the latest head coaching vacancies, the Rooney Rule and the new name for the Washington Football Team.

(56:32) The NBA trade deadline is upon us. There have been a couple of moves in the past week (in particular Cleveland acquiring Caris LaVert) but the rumblings throughout the league have centered in Brooklyn and Philadelphia as both James Harden and Ben Simmons may be shipped between now and Thursday. It's quite possible they may be traded for each other! Is there potential for a deal between the two teams? Is there a fit for each player in their possible new destination? I'll have the low down of the pros and cons of each player if a trade is made between the Sixers and Nets. Also, why the Nets may not trade Harden by the deadline? And is it time to push the panic button if you're Steve Nash & co.?

(1:10:33) The NHL looks to get back on track to make up games that were lost in the first half due to COVID. I'll have a synopsis of some surprises (i.e. Rangers & Kings) and disappointments (i.e. Oilers & Islanders) and look ahead to the second half as we're past the All Star Break heading into the deeper part of the schedule. To wrap up, the Winter Classic in 2023 will be hosted in a familiar place. Hint: it'll be in a baseball stadium in the Northeast.

(1:20:27) Armageddon has come in MLB as the owners and players will be in a complete royal rumble to hammer out a deal as spring training isn't too far away. Is it too early to say that the season is in jeopardy? Baseball is playing with fire at the moment as they avoid being obliterated off of the sports map. I'll explain why.

(1:30:40) I'll have a quick update of the college basketball scene as Auburn is still #1 in the country.
(1:31:53) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:15) The stage is set for Super Bowl LVI as the surging, upstart Cincinnati Bengals defeat the reigning AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs as they come back from an 18 point deficit to punch their ticket to Los Angeles in two weeks. As for the Rams, they won't have to get on an airplane and can sleep in their own beds as they exorcised some demons and beat the San Francisco 49ers. They'll be in familiar surroundings as they'll play the game in the building that they occupy at So-Fi Stadium. I'll dissect both of these conference title games. The unflappable Joe Burrow. The Bengals stifling second half defense. A bitter Chiefs loss. A hit on Patrick Mahomes legacy. Poor coaching decisions by Andy Reid/Eric Bieniemy. Another great showing by Matthew Stafford. Awful challenges by coach Sean McVay. The non interception by Jaquiski Tartt. Aaron Donald gets a pass (and saves the day in the process) Another gut punch of a Niner playoff loss over the past decade. I'll get into some of the early Super Bowl storylines, more Tony Romo broadcasting blunders, head coaching hires throughout the league and why haven't there been any black coaches promoted to run these teams? Also, some words on the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, but what about Tom Brady? Word came out over the weekend that he's retiring, but was not made official by Brady himself. Did the reporters jump the gun on this story?

(58:07) Is there trouble percolating in Brooklyn as James Harden is reportedly unhappy with the head coach and the Kyrie Irving situation? Could a trade be forthcoming? What about the ongoing saga with disgruntled Sixers All-Star guard Ben Simmons? I'll take a trip around the Association and express more Lakers dysfunction in the process.

(1:06:52) The NHL is looking to exhale as the All-Star Break in Vegas is on the horizon. They'll use what was the Olympic break to make up these lost games in the first half of the season due to the coronavirus. There's a new NHL Iron Man as Flyers defenseman, Keith Yandle surpasses Doug Jarvis as the all time leader in consecutive games played. There is someone in the league who is not too far behind. Could this record be on the verge of being broken sooner than we thought? I'll see what else is happening on the ice (including the Oilers controversial signing of forward, Evander Kane) in each conference.

(1:15:42) Rafael Nadal has become the all time winningest men's Grand Slam player with 21 victories as he wins his second Australian Open. Can he extend his record lead over his contemporaries in Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer as his favorite Slam tournament (French Open) is on deck?

(1:20:55) David Ortiz was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers of America. Is he deserving of this achievement with the report of him using performance enhancing drugs in the past? This is the end of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens being on the ballot. Should those two have been voted in as well? Plus, an update of the latest labor strife between the players and owners.

(1:26:26) Does anybody really care about the Winter Olympics which is set to start this coming Thursday?

(1:28:23) To wrap up, my Hero and Zero of the Week. CORRECTION: In discussing my Hero of the Week, I made a reference to New Orleans Pelicans guard as Jose Alvarez. My apologies, but it's Jose Alvarado.

(4:25) The NFL experienced the best Divisional Round in the history of the playoffs, where three of the four teams won on the road in the final seconds and the fourth was a game for the ages!

First up, was the horror show of coaching and quarterbacking by Mike Vrabel & Ryan Tannehill of the Tennessee Titans as they were upset at home by the cool, calm and collected Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Next, was the Green Bay Packers imploding at home as Aaron Rodgers couldn't deliver in the clutch, same for their special teams as the 49ers escape out of Lambeau Field with a big time road victory by their stout defense and some key throws by QB, Jimmy Garoppolo. What's next for Aaron Rodgers? Is this it for him in Green Bay?

The Rams jumped out to a big lead in Tampa, but slowly and surely gave it back due to a few costly turnovers to draw the Buccaneers even. In the end, it was Matthew Stafford's connection to his safety blanket, Cooper Kupp as they marched down the field as time was expiring and hit the go ahead field goal at the final gun. So the defending champions are dethroned as Stafford outplayed Brady, the Bucs defense was awful and now the questions will arise...is this is for Tom Brady?

Just when we thought the three games prior were tough acts to follow, the Bills & Chiefs played an epic, classic playoff game to top them all. It was a near flawless game with only four penalties flagged, zero turnovers, A+ play from both QB's (Josh Allen & Patrick Mahomes) lead changes late in the game, a botched kickoff by Buffalo with :13 seconds left, another final second field goal in regulation. Then the clincher as the Chiefs win it with a TD in OT, which brings up an interesting topic...should both teams get the ball in OT no matter what happens? KC's grit and talent rises to the top. As for the Bills, as heroic as Josh Allen and WR Gabriel Davis was, a long offseason of 'what if's' will be replayed over and over as they were thisclose from hosting the AFC Title Game in their building.

I'll preview both Conference Championship Games, the intrigue and storylines of the 49ers-Rams. Why I don't like the Bengals this time around vs. KC? What would be the best possible Super Bowl matchup be? And some off the field news regarding personnel on some teams throughout the league.

(1:07:06) The Bulls have suffered a couple of injuries to their roster as they lose their standing as the top dog in the East, but the Association is rather quiet as we approach the end of January.

(1:08:52) The same could be said in college basketball as Gonzaga still has the #1 seed in the country as there were no major upsets in the sport over the past week. It's looking as if we're going to have a wide open March Madness which isn't for another month and a half.

(1:09:41) Sadly, I'll remember one of the great New York Islander players who passed away too soon as Clark Gillies died this past Friday. I'll go over how tough and what type of player he was, what he meant to this historic Islander team and the mark he left on those he touched after his playing days were over. Also, the schedule makers have revamped the games that were lost in the early part of the year due to COVID, as well as, taking a look to catch up on what's happening out on the ice.

(1:16:11) The players will step in on Monday (today) and propose their deal to the owners as they try their best to get something done with pitchers and catchers scheduled to report in three weeks. Is there hope for any progress as February nears? MLB did one smart thing. Not having the Rays split their seasons with the city of Montreal which would've been disastrous for the sport.

(1:19:58) I'll have the latest update with what's going on in the Australian Open. It looks like the #1 seed in Ash Barty on the women's side is the favorite to win it all at the moment. Rafael Nadal is still alive on the men's side. Does he have a chance to get to his 21st career Grand Slam win?

(1:22:02) I'll briefly touch on the heavyweight MMA bout between Francis Ngannou vs. Cyril Gane as Ngannou unifies the UFC heavyweight title. Did the match live up to the hype?

(1:23:55) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Joining me to discuss the excitement and euphoria are two diehard Cincinnati Bengals fans as they’re set to kick off the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. First up, is young podcaster Jai Shields. (5:39) This is his second appearance on the pod (for more about Jai, check out Episode 145 in the archives) as he shares his thoughts of witnessing his first ever Bengal playoff win, his recollection of the very first playoff game at the age of seven and what are the keys to the Bengals advancing to the AFC Championship Game?

Next up, is my longtime friend and former resident of the Queen City, Risa Saslow, (50:31) as she delves into an interesting story about her birthday and Super Bowl XXIII, being a long suffering fan and what her expectations are in the second round vs. the Titans? What better way than to have two perspectives from opposite ends of the spectrum as they detail what it’s like to root for a team that’ s been down for so long, that’s now on the rise in the NFL.

5616cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/nfl-super-wild-card-flop-nba-first-half-
(4:35) NFL Super Wild Card Weekend is in the books, but it was anything but super as your boy HAS LOTS to rail against how these games weren't intriguing or exciting. I'll get into the hot Bengal offense, the overrated Patriots defense, how Jalen Hurts isn't the answer in Philadelphia? How the Cowboys were at fault on the final drive and not the officials? Why the Chiefs are the team to beat in the AFC? I'll look ahead to the Divisional Round matchups and the Wild Card finale (i.e. pressure on Ram QB, Matthew Stafford) in LA between the Cardinals-Rams. I'll also share my thoughts on the post Black Monday firings of head coaches in the league (i.e. Giants and Texans)

(41:37) The NBA regular season has surpassed the halfway point of their schedule and there have been plenty of surprises and disappointments to date. I'll break down who's hot (i.e. Cavaliers, Grizzlies) and who's not (i.e. Lakers, Hawks) I also like how there's been some competitive balance throughout the league which has been refreshing unlike years past. I'll go through both conferences and keep you abreast on some of the big injuries (Bulls, Zach LaVine and Nets, Kevin Durant) and how Durant's absence could affect the Nets at the top of the crowded Eastern Conference? Plus, I have to revisit and reinforce my displeasure of the play in tournament involving the 7-10 seeds in the East & West.

(54:54) Baylor takes a double hit as they finally lost their first game of the year, but then followed that up with another loss (both at home, and in historic fashion) in the same week. They lose their grip at the #1 seed in the country, but will this affect them long term as March Madness awaits?

(57:35) The NHL keeps slogging through their schedule with tons of games that need to be made up, but the big stories coming from the ice are the returns of Lightning forward, Nikita Kucherov, Jack Eichel of the Golden Knights and Bruins goaltender, Tuukka Rask as they've been on fire as they make their way toward the top of the East.

(1:03:48) The Novak Djokovic saga didn't end well for the three time defending and nine time overall Australian Open champion. I'll put that situation to rest, but does this kill any buzz of the first Grand Slam of the year? There are plenty of interesting storylines even without the likes of Roger Federer, Serena and Venus Williams participating in the tournament down under.

(1:09:35) With pitchers and catchers on schedule to report four weeks from today (i.e. barring a Collective Bargaining Agreement finalized by the owners and players), all is quiet on the MLB front as discussions are at a standstill with no agreement in sight. When can we possibly expect some progress?

SPREAKER: 4673cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/epic-nfl-week-18-finale-playoff-storylin
(4:52) The NFL season FINALLY concluded after a laborious and not as exciting campaign, but Week 18 did not disappoint as I highlight the winners (San Francisco, Pittsburgh & yours truly. I explain) and losers (Indianapolis & LA Chargers). Today is Black Monday throughout the league for coaches losing their jobs. I'll share who got the pink slip, who should be dismissed and a shocker down in Miami as Brian Flores gets the axe. There are a few juicy playoff storylines that I'll divulge as the chase for the Vince Lombardi Trophy begins. I'll preview all of the Super Wild Card Games this upcoming weekend, with predictions to get you ready for the postseason.

(51:48) A national champion will be crowned in college football as Georgia vs. Alabama meet yet again in a title setting. Will the Bulldogs come to slay the Alabama dragon?

(59:38) A couple of debuts by some former NBA All-Stars that will have a major say in how far each of their teams will go this year. Kyrie Irving had a nice opening game in Indiana as he re-builds camaraderie with his teammates in Brooklyn. But the bigger story was what took place in San Francisco as Warriors guard Klay Thompson returned for the first time in over two and a half years. Is he the final piece to put the Dubs over the top in the West? Also, should we take the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant seriously? I'll sprinkle in the latest in college basketball as both Duke and Kansas lost last week, which'll drop them down in the polls, while Baylor still resides as the #1 team in the country.

(1:11:00) As the Australian Open is on the horizon, defending champion Novak Djokovic has been in a brouhaha with the authorities regarding entry into the country with a valid visa. Who was in the wrong during this process?

(1:15:12) There was a low key retirement that didn't get much publicity in the MLB a week or so ago. And there goes Mets owner, Steve Cohen again. They end up hiring a hitting coach away from their crosstown rivals, the Yankees. How did this go down? Is this a shot fired across the bow to their nemesis in the Bronx?

(1:19:58) More games are postponing and not a lot of games that are being rescheduled at the moment. That's life in the NHL at this point of their season. I'll zip through what's happening on the ice as I make the turn to close out with...

Kyrie Irving had a nice opening game in Indiana as he re-builds camaraderie with his teammates in Brooklyn. But the bigger story was what took place in San Francisco as Warriors guard Klay Thompson returned for the first time in over two and a half years. Is he the final piece to put the Dubs over the top in the West? Also, should we take the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant seriously? I'll sprinkle in the latest in college basketball as both Duke and Kansas lost last week, which'll drop them down in the polls, while Baylor still resides as the #1 team in the country.

(1:11:00) As the Australian Open is on the horizon, defending champion Novak Djokovic has been in a brouhaha with the authorities regarding entry into the country with a valid visa. Who was in the wrong during this process?

(1:15:12) There was a low key retirement that didn't get much publicity in the MLB a week or so ago. And there goes Mets owner, Steve Cohen again. They end up hiring a hitting coach away from their crosstown rivals, the Yankees. How did this go down? Is this a shot fired across the bow to their nemesis in the Bronx?

(1:19:58) More games are postponing and not a lot of games that are being rescheduled at the moment. That's life in the NHL at this point of their season. I'll zip through what's happening on the ice as I make the turn to close out with...

(1:24:05) ...my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:50) The NFL season is just a week away from concluding, (Thank goodness! Don't worry, I'll explain) this 'biggest year ever' hasn't lived up to the billing as I'll get into my winners (Arizona & Las Vegas) and losers (Miami & Antonio Brown. A lot to unpack here, but I'm taking a different stance than the usual talking heads) of Week 17. I'll also discuss a bit of the following: the development of Jaguars QB, Trevor Lawrence. The Rams getting out of Baltimore with a huge win to move up in the NFC. The Chiefs fall to the surging Bengals. I'll get into a not so exciting Week 18 schedule and all of the up to the minute playoff possibilities in both conferences. I'll also spend a moment on the recent passings of legendary coach/broadcaster, John Madden (Plus, an interesting encounter that I had with him several years ago.) And former Broncos, Giants and Falcons coach, Dan Reeves.

(48:05) The College Football Playoff did not live up to expectations as both games were duds. Cincinnati didn't embarrass themselves but were no match for Alabama, while Georgia steamrolled over Michigan to set up another rematch between the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs. I'll have a thought or two on the storylines of the National Championship Game. Will Georgia exorcise the Alabama demons and defeats of the past.

(55:23) The Association is acting like a slow cook crock pot, while the Bulls have heated up with a seven game winning streak to the top spot of the Eastern Conference. The Nets have stubbed their toe recently due to some poor performances to where they need an 'attitude adjustment'. Is there truth to that? The Cavaliers lose point guard, Ricky Rubio to an ACL injury. They bring in former Laker, Rajon Rondo to fill his role. Is this a blessing? Or a curse for a young Cavs team? Also, the NBA suffers another loss with one of their great players as Sam Jones passed away over the weekend as we reflect on his life and career.

(1:04:04) All is quiet on the college basketball front as Baylor still resides at the top of the rankings for a fourth straight week.

(1:04:37) The Winter Classic was in full effect Saturday night in Minneapolis as the temperature was six below zero from the start as the Blues beat the Wild for their league's annual event to kick off the year. Other than that, teams are still trying to recover from a week off due to COVID interfering with the schedule. For the most part, things are in catch up mode as they look forward to making up these games over the 'Olympic break'.

(5:27) The NFL season is coming down to the homestretch as this extended season is still three weeks away from the playoffs. For now, I'll go through my winners (Buffalo & Cincinnati) and losers (LA Chargers & Seattle) of Week 16. Two teams that I did not buy into the hype (i.e. San Francisco & New England) that many people have jumped on their bandwagon, suffered big losses on Sunday. Is Baker Mayfield worth franchise QB money in Cleveland? Are the Browns still in contention to win the AFC North? NOTE: Baltimore does need to lose one of their last two, on top of Cincinnati losing to KC on Sunday, in order for the Browns to win the division. Can the Cardinals gain any momentum as they're reeling in the NFC? I'll also touch on the resurging Raiders, Joe Judge and the dreadful Giants, dissect a log jam of an AFC playoff race and an NFC that's taking shape, but with lots to still be determined as I look ahead to the Week 17 schedule.

(41:38) I'll set my sights on the College Football Playoff semifinals come Friday. I'll preview both Cincinnati vs. Alabama and Georgia vs. Michigan. Can the Bearcats stack up against the almighty Crimson Tide? What about Georgia having to overcome the sting of an SEC Championship loss to play against the magic carpet ride and pixie dust of the Wolverines? I'll get into how both games may play out as they'll set the stage for the National Title Game on January 10th.

(50:19) The big story in the Association is the floundering of the Los Angeles Lakers as they're in the midst of a five game losing streak, with a record of 16-18, will they ever get their season back on track? The Clippers will lose Paul George, again, for an extended period of time due to a UCL strain. And an in-season tournament that could be implemented next year? Is this a gimmick? Is it legit?

(59:19) The NHL had to pause their season this past week due to players and teams in the COVID protocol, but with the Winter Classic on Saturday set to be played in Minneapolis, is it still a go? Also, the players will forgo the upcoming Olympics to make up games that were lost due to the pandemic. In a similar move to what the NBA did last week, they've increased the rosters to replenish rosters to protect themselves of potentially cancelling more games down the road.

(1:02:34) Baylor is still your #1 team in the country in college basketball for the third week straight as they've shown no hangover from winning the National Championship this past April.

(1:04:15) All is quiet on the MLB players and owners front as talks of a collective bargaining agreement have stalled. When will we see both parties reconnect?

(1:04:51) Of course, I'll have my Hero & Zero of the Week.

(1:07:17) I'll wrap up the final episode of the year with a tremendous THANK YOU to all of the listeners and followers who support the podcast. I plan to take this endeavor to greater heights in 2022. I appreciate you all for sticking with me as I embark on my fourth year of hosting and producing the best sports podcast out there on a weekly basis.

(5:43) In the midst of COVID craziness that's sweeping the nation once again, the NFL continues to plug along as they set their sights on finishing the 2021 season. I list my winners (Colts, Dolphins) and losers (Cardinals, Buccaneers) of Week 15, as well as, the Titans early Christmas gift to the Steelers (and their playoff hopes still have a pulse) a jam at the top of the AFC North, discuss some critical Week 16 matchups and bring you up to speed on the latest playoff standings and scenarios in the AFC & NFC. I'll cap off the NFL segment writing the epitaph of Urban Meyer's coaching career in Jacksonville.

(47:42) The Brooklyn Nets made a surprise announcement last week as they've shifted gears and will bring back point guard, Kyrie Irving to the team. Will there be any consequences upon his return? Or any backlash down the road between he and the organization? I'll share my two cents on this. Also, replacement players in the league? You read right! Due to rising cases of COVID and depletion of rosters, the NBA is instituting this for the near future. Will the quality of play possibly suffer or be compromised because of it? We witnessed the big achievement of Stephen Curry becoming the all time three point shooter in regular season history. Was the celebration over the top or a bit too much? I'll go over the Christmas Day schedule which may not be as compelling due to COVID wreaking havoc throughout the league. Anthony Davis's recent injury and how that doesn't bode well for the Lakers long term (i.e. championship aspirations), the return of Klay Thompson and much more.

(1:07:11) COVID has ravaged the NHL as several teams schedules have been put to a halt until after the Christmas weekend. How will the league reschedule these games, especially with a Winter Olympics on the horizon in February? Is there a scenario where a bubble could be incorporated?

(1:13:22) The New York Mets finally get their man to manage the ballclub as Buck Showalter will lead the franchise for the next three years. Is he the final piece to their championship puzzle? And talks between the players and the union in the battle of coming to a new collective bargaining agreement?

(1:19:18) Jake Paul KO's Tyron Woodley in a boxing match on Saturday night. Is this something that is worth getting into?

(5:35) Get ready for the homestretch in the NFL as we're down to the final four games of the regular season. The bottom of the AFC (five 7-6 teams) & NFC (five 6-7 teams) playoff pictures are a jumbled mess at the moment. I'll assess where we're at in both conferences and where we may be possibly going forward as I'll get into my winners (Tampa Bay & Cleveland) and losers (Washington & Cincinnati) of Week 14. I'll also take a peek into the Week 15 schedule with an enormous matchup on Thursday night (Chiefs-Chargers) our first set of Saturday games (Raiders-Browns, Patriots-Colts) some key games on Sunday and a tribute to former Broncos/Texans and Jets WR Demaryius Thomas, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 33.

(37:03) I'll acknowledge the final regular season game of the college football season (Army-Navy). I make no bones about how all of the bowl games (minus the college football playoff semifinals) doesn't interest me. No surprise as to who the Heisman Trophy winner is (Alabama QB, Bryce Young) but Michigan coach, Jim Harbaugh, has a bold prediction for one of his players and Heisman Trophy finalist, Aiden Hutchinson for next year's NFL Draft.

(39:53) The NBA draws near to its' Christmas Day schedule, but there's a caveat that can't go understated. I'll explain. The Portland Trail Blazers have been in the news with a fired GM, their second best player (CJ McCollum) out with a collapsed lung, but the big story is perennial All-Star guard, Damien Lillard possibly looking for the exits and wanting out of Portland? There have been talks percolating for Sixers disgruntled guard, Ben Simmons as he's being dangled for potential offers from other clubs. But this is a case, where he's an 'untouchable' in reverse. The Bulls have TEN players in health and safety protocols. Will the league step in to postpone their games? Steph Curry is thisclose to becoming the all time three point regular season shooting record held by Ray Allen. Will we ever see Pelicans forward, Zion Williamson, on the court this year? I'll take a trip around the Association to keep you up to date on what's going on throughout the hardwood.

(57:47) The Calgary Flames have been the latest team in the NHL to be affected by a COVID outbreak as three of their games have been postponed. But in a strange and weird twist, the Arizona Coyotes look like a team that has already checked out from being in operation based on their behavior by not paying the bills? And the commissioner, Gary Bettman, has stated that they're not threatening to relocate! Really? I'll share my thoughts on that, as well as, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury winning his 500th victory last week. Is he a lock Hall of Famer? I'll skate around the league to inform you on the latest that's happening on the ice.

(1:08:39) A new #1 in college basketball as we'll have a different top ranked team to lead the nation after Purdue loses to Rutgers in stunning fashion last week. Baylor is now the new #1 in the sport. Will it last for at least a week?

(1:10:36) The Mets are still searching for a new manager, but I'll tell you who SHOULD be the guy to lead this team. AND WHY are they interviewing more unknown candidates?

(1:14:16) Tiger Woods coming back to the course sooner than we thought? He'll be participating in the PNC this coming weekend with his son, Charlie. Should there be any expectations or comparisons from his young boy as the spotlight will be squarely be on him and his famous dad this weekend?

(1:17:08) A shocking upset in the UFC over the weekend as Julianna Pena wins in a slugfest over Amanda Nunes in a bantamweight title fight. Will there be a rematch? A trilogy?

(1:20:13) To wrap up, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

On deck: (5:35) Get ready for the homestretch in the NFL as we're down to the final...
(5:35) Get ready for the homestretch in the NFL as we're down to the final four games of the regular season. The bottom of the AFC (five 7-6 teams) & NFC (five 6-7 teams) playoff pictures are a jumbled mess at the moment. I'll assess where we're at in both conferences and where we may be possibly going forward as I'll get into my winners (Tampa Bay & Cleveland) and losers (Washington & Cincinnati) of Week 14. I'll also take a peek into the Week 15 schedule with an enormous matchup on Thursday night (Chiefs-Chargers) our first set of Saturday games (Raiders-Browns, Patriots-Colts) some key games on Sunday and a tribute to former Broncos/Texans and Jets WR Demaryius Thomas, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 33.

(37:03) I'll acknowledge the final regular season game of the college football season (Army-Navy). I make no bones about how all of the bowl games (minus the college football playoff semifinals) doesn't interest me. No surprise as to who the Heisman Trophy winner is (Alabama QB, Bryce Young) but Michigan coach, Jim Harbaugh, has a bold prediction for one of his players and Heisman Trophy finalist, Aiden Hutchinson for next year's NFL Draft.

(39:53) The NBA draws near to its' Christmas Day schedule, but there's a caveat that can't go understated. I'll explain. The Portland Trail Blazers have been in the news with a fired GM, their second best player (CJ McCollum) out with a collapsed lung, but the big story is perennial All-Star guard, Damien Lillard possibly looking for the exits and wanting out of Portland? There have been talks percolating for Sixers disgruntled guard, Ben Simmons as he's being dangled for potential offers from other clubs. But this is a case, where he's an 'untouchable' in reverse. The Bulls have TEN players in health and safety protocols. Will the league step in to postpone their games? Steph Curry is thisclose to becoming the all time three point regular season shooting record held by Ray Allen. Will we ever see Pelicans forward, Zion Williamson, on the court this year? I'll take a trip around the Association to keep you up to date on what's going on throughout the hardwood.

(57:47) The Calgary Flames have been the latest team in the NHL to be affected by a COVID outbreak as three of their games have been postponed. But in a strange and weird twist, the Arizona Coyotes look like a team that has already checked out from being in operation based on their behavior by not paying the bills? And the commissioner, Gary Bettman, has stated that they're not threatening to relocate! Really? I'll share my thoughts on that, as well as, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury winning his 500th victory last week. Is he a lock Hall of Famer? I'll skate around the league to inform you on the latest that's happening on the ice.

(1:08:39) A new #1 in college basketball as we'll have a different top ranked team to lead the nation after Purdue loses to Rutgers in stunning fashion last week. Baylor is now the new #1 in the sport. Will it last for at least a week?

(1:10:36) The Mets are still searching for a new manager, but I'll tell you who SHOULD be the guy to lead this team. AND WHY are they interviewing more unknown candidates?

(1:14:16) Tiger Woods coming back to the course sooner than we thought? He'll be participating in the PNC this coming weekend with his son, Charlie. Should there be any expectations or comparisons from his young boy as the spotlight will be squarely be on him and his famous dad this weekend?

(1:17:08) A shocking upset in the UFC over the weekend as Julianna Pena wins in a slugfest over Amanda Nunes in a bantamweight title fight. Will there be a rematch? A trilogy?

(1:20:13) To wrap up, my Hero and Zero of the Week.5213cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/roll-tide-college-football-playoff-story
(5:40) The end of a very intriguing college football regular season came to a close where it's a movie that we've seen plenty over the years. The Alabama Crimson Tide are riding high from their dismantling of the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game. What does this victory mean for this 'Bama team? What about the psyche of Georgia? I'll recap this game, Oklahoma State's brutal loss to Baylor, Michigan's thrashing of Iowa and Cincinnati keeping their unbeaten season alive as I'll showcase each of the Final Four teams storylines as we sit and wait for the college football playoff on New Year's Eve. Lastly, I'll chime in on some of the coaching changes that took place (i.e. USC, LSU & Oklahoma) and was it right for Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly to leave their teams hanging for greener pastures?

(37:44) Week 13 in the NFL was, ehhhh! You had a couple of fantastic finishes in Detroit and Pittsburgh, but not a lot of shocks or surprises as I discuss my winners (Chargers & Lions) and losers (49ers & Broncos) of the week. I'll preview how important of a Monday night game it is for the Buffalo Bills as they face off vs. New England. I'll share my thoughts on a jam packed AFC as 12 teams are still alive in the playoff race. I'll get into how rabid yours truly gets when watching a Ravens-Steelers game and how that game came down to the wire. Of course, I'll look ahead into Week 14 as there are some good matchups on the schedule as we inch closer to the conclusion of the regular season.

(1:08:16) The MLB offseason has been put on ice as the collective bargaining agreement has expired. What now? What is the issue between the players and owners? Are the owners hypocrites for doling out huge deals to date, when they're trying to cut costs? I'll get into it all, even come up with a possible timeframe for when this should be done if they plan on getting next season started on time AND what does this mean for players like Freddie Freeman, Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, Kris Bryant who haven't signed as of yet?

(1:19:25) The Phoenix Suns were shining bright as they were able to pull off an 18 game winning streak. No NBA Finals hangover for Chris Paul & company. Can they continue to put the pressure and threaten the Warriors and get back to another Finals appearance? And what happened to the Oklahoma City Thunder? They lost by how many to a Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies team? You know I've got a couple of things to say about this. There been a couple of key injuries (i.e. Damian Lillard & Bam Adebayo) to the Blazers and Heat. Also, have the Knicks started to bottom out after a 5-1 start?

(1:25:53) There's a new #1 in college basketball as Duke loses to Ohio State last week, so the Purdue Boilermakers step up to the top spot in a pretty topsy turvy start to the college basketball season.

(1:27:40) A couple of coaches have walked the plank in the NHL in Vancouver & Philadelphia. (i.e. Travis Green & Alain Vigneault) and the Islander losing streak (11) has reached new lows. Is it too late for them to dig out of this crater that they've caused?

(1:30:01) Tiger Woods was in the news as he had a press conference last week to discuss his recovery, how grateful he is and when can we see him back on the golf course?

(1:33:32) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:39) It was another ho-hum weekend for the NFL after an underwhelming Thanksgiving holiday schedule as the season continues to drag along. I'll highlight the winners (Buffalo & San Francisco) and losers (an early epitaph for my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers) and other key takeaways (The officiating throughout the league. The end of Cam Newton. New England's success. I'm still not sold. I explain why. A look at the Week 13 slate. The first ballot nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and more.)

(35:37) The college football season has superseded the NFL, in my opinion, as Jim Harbaugh FINALLY slayed the Ohio State Buckeye dragon as they upend their rivals and their playoff chances in the process. Is it time to celebrate in Ann Arbor? Why this win isn't the end all, be all for the Wolverines? I'll discuss the chances for Alabama as they'll face the #1 team in the country in Georgia. Do they have a shot? Also, will some potential fresh blood in the Final Four bring morePlus, all of the other possibilities for teams to sneak into the top four (i.e. Notre Dame, Oklahoma St. and Baylor) as Conference Championship Week is on the horizon.

(49:57) MLB has surprised yours truly as there has been plenty of activity on the transaction front, with the Mets being at the forefront of the free agent party, which delivered four players including three time Cy Young Award winner, Max Scherzer (NOTE: This was made official after recording, but I do share some thoughts on it.) Are the Mets done with improving their team? What other reinforcements do they need to compete? Will the top shortstops (i.e. Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, Corey Seager, Javier Baez) among others, get signed before the Collective Bargaining Agreement expires at midnight on December 1st? I'll have a hot take on that, as well as, how shrewd were the Tampa Bay Rays were in signing budding superstar, Wander Franco to a long term deal? (Although it comes with a caveat) And I know the Yankees and Brian Cashman are laying in the weeds as I'm sure a blockbuster trade and/or free agent signing is forthcoming.

(1:09:17) The NBA season is at the quarter mark. Besides the Warriors being a top story to date, the Suns have been scorching out West nipping at the heels of Golden State. The East has been a log jam early on as 13 teams are separated by six games. There was no fallout from the Pistons and Lakers second go round, where Isaiah Stewart and LeBron James were suspended last week, but will there be any carryover in Miami as Nikola Jokic and Markieff Morris re-acquaint themselves after their run-in a few weeks back in Denver?

(1:13:52) College basketball talk before December? You better believe it as I'll get into Gonzaga's busy week where they destroy #2 UCLA (which was a far cry from the Final Four game back in April) but then lose a tight one against #5 Duke. Even #4 Kansas was upset by Dayton as the sport is looking to take a page out of what the college football season has exhibited to this point.

(1:17:40) The Islanders season has now taken a turn for the worse as they've played more home games than they've won AND scored goals combined! (Four home games, three goals scored, zero games won) Now, with a COVID outbreak throughout the team that's postponed a few games from their schedule, it begs the question. Is this break a blessing or a curse? The Canadiens front office has cleaned house as GM Marc Bergevin has been fired where assistant GM, Scott Mellanby, stepped down abruptly. Is there something going on in Montreal that we don't know about? And where will former Sharks forward, Evander Kane end up, now that he's a free agent?

(1:25:01) I'll touch on the charity golf event between Brooks Koepka vs. Bryson Dechambeau in where the post match interviews between the two were more entertaining than what took place on the course as Koepka dominates Dechambeau over the 12 hole contest.

(1:27:00) Lastly, I'll have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:50) The NFL had a very interesting Week 11, with some surprising winners (i.e. MIN & IND) and shocking losers (i.e. TEN & BUF) as I cover all that happened throughout the league. Is it time to take the Colts seriously? What about the Patriots? Can the Eagles make a run in the NFC East? Is the Chief defense for real? I'll share a take or two on the Steelers wild comeback falling short vs. the Chargers. I'll take an early peek at the Thanksgiving games (HINT: Not too much to write home about!) and a captivating Week 12 schedule to cap off your holiday weekend.

(40:36) The college football season continues to impress as there were not one, but two teams, that drop out of the running for the playoff set for New Year's Eve as Michigan State and Oregon were embarrassed on Saturday. What does this mean for Cincinnati? Are they an automatic to make the college football playoff? Is Ohio State the hottest team in the country? I'll preview what will be a fascinating slate of games this weekend, highlighted by the grudge match at the Big House between Ohio St. vs. Michigan.

(55:58) The Lakers (aka The Expendables) haven't been able to get in sync during the early part of the season. The big news was the fracas in Detroit where LeBron James whacked Isaiah Stewart across the face after a free throw attempt. Will this team get out of their malaise any time soon? I compare them to another veteran team of the past that had their shortcomings, but made it to an NBA Final in the process. I'll also get into the potential return of Klay Thompson, the first coach fired this season comes from the Sacramento Kings, a huge loss for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Phoenix Suns torrid streak and other top stories from the past week in the Association.

(1:06:00) The Islanders have ended their 13 game odyssey throughout North America with two home games in their brand spanking new arena (UBS Arena) over the past weekend. But when they ended their long road trip with a four game losing streak, only to top it off with two more losses at home, which begs the question. Will they be able to turn it around quickly and not fall any deeper in the Eastern Conference? I'll discuss the latest with a key player from the two time defending Cup champions going out indefinitely with an injury (TB's Brayden Point), a COVID breakout in Ottawa and the Thanksgiving Friday game which has become an annual matchup between two original six teams (i.e. Rangers-Bruins)

(1:15:53) There's been some activity in free agency throughout baseball with the impending doom of the collective bargaining agreement expiring on December 1st. Some pitchers have re-signed with their team (Toronto's Jose Berrios) and some have changed addresses, which includes former Mets starter, Noah Syndergaard. So you know I have a couple of things to get off of my chest about this. The Yankees are posturing for a big off-season, but again, baseball armageddon is coming. Will it be a long, cold, hard winter for the sport? I also have a few choice words for super agent Scott Boras as he chimes in about how teams are 'tanking' before the trade deadline and how it affects business with his clients.

(1:22:54) Welterweight Terence Crawford wins in a 10th round TKO over Shawn Porter on Saturday night. Is there a chance that we can see a fight with Errol Spence, Jr. on the horizon?

(1:24:59) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:50) The NFL had a very interesting Week 11, with some surprising winners (i.e. MIN & IND) and shocking losers (i.e. TEN & BUF) as I cover all that happened throughout the league. Is it time to take the Colts seriously? What about the Patriots? Can the Eagles make a run in the NFC East? Is the Chief defense for real? I'll share a take or two on the Steelers wild comeback falling short vs. the Chargers. I'll take an early peek at the Thanksgiving games (HINT: Not too much to write home about!) and a captivating Week 12 schedule to cap off your holiday weekend.

(40:36) The college football season continues to impress as there were not one, but two teams, that drop out of the running for the playoff set for New Year's Eve as Michigan State and Oregon were embarrassed on Saturday. What does this mean for Cincinnati? Are they an automatic to make the college football playoff? Is Ohio State the hottest team in the country? I'll preview what will be a fascinating slate of games this weekend, highlighted by the grudge match at the Big House between Ohio St. vs. Michigan.

(55:58) The Lakers (aka The Expendables) haven't been able to get in sync during the early part of the season. The big news was the fracas in Detroit where LeBron James whacked Isaiah Stewart across the face after a free throw attempt. Will this team get out of their malaise any time soon? I compare them to another veteran team of the past that had their shortcomings, but made it to an NBA Final in the process. I'll also get into the potential return of Klay Thompson, the first coach fired this season comes from the Sacramento Kings, a huge loss for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Phoenix Suns torrid streak and other top stories from the past week in the Association.

(1:06:00) The Islanders have ended their 13 game odyssey throughout North America with two home games in their brand spanking new arena (UBS Arena) over the past weekend. But when they ended their long road trip with a four game losing streak, only to top it off with two more losses at home, which begs the question. Will they be able to turn it around quickly and not fall any deeper in the Eastern Conference? I'll discuss the latest with a key player from the two time defending Cup champions going out indefinitely with an injury (TB's Brayden Point), a COVID breakout in Ottawa and the Thanksgiving Friday game which has become an annual matchup between two original six teams (i.e. Rangers-Bruins)

(1:15:53) There's been some activity in free agency throughout baseball with the impending doom of the collective bargaining agreement expiring on December 1st. Some pitchers have re-signed with their team (Toronto's Jose Berrios) and some have changed addresses, which includes former Mets starter, Noah Syndergaard. So you know I have a couple of things to get off of my chest about this. The Yankees are posturing for a big off-season, but again, baseball armageddon is coming. Will it be a long, cold, hard winter for the sport? I also have a few choice words for super agent Scott Boras as he chimes in about how teams are 'tanking' before the trade deadline and how it affects business with his clients.

(1:22:54) Welterweight Terence Crawford wins in a 10th round TKO over Shawn Porter on Saturday night. Is there a chance that we can see a fight with Errol Spence, Jr. on the horizon?

(1:24:59) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:27) The NFL is passed the halfway point of the season. To put it nicely, this hasn't been one to write home about. I get into why it's been a disappointing season to date. I'll get into my winners (Chiefs, Patriots) and losers (Ravens, Broncos) of the week, the difference between a wide open AFC and top heavy NFC, go through another less than exciting week of games, culminated by the dreadful performance of the 16-16 tie between the Lions vs. Steelers, which YOU KNOW, I'll have a thing or two to share about that!

(30:39) The Oklahoma Sooners are the next team that have kissed their playoff chances goodbye, but the talk was about what Baylor did at the end of the game. Was it right for Baylor coach, Dave Aranda to kick a meaningless field goal as time expired? Plus, Michigan pulled out a huge victory at Penn State to keep their playoff hopes alive. I'll have an up to the minute look at the college football playoff landscape.

(40:49) The NBA has been quiet for the most part, but the story early on this first month of the season is the hot start of the Golden State Warriors. Are they the biggest surprise in the league so far? What about the Washington Wizards? Also, is the Nikola Jokic-Markieff Morris dustup this past week going to have a life of its own as Jokic's brothers have gotten involved inciting a Twitter feud with the Morris brothers? I'll share my thoughts on another executive, this time from the Portland Trail Blazers, that had to resign due to an investigation regarding workplace concerns. I'll take a trip around the hardwood throughout the Association and get you caught up on all that's happening.

(47:27) College basketball is underway! One of the big storylines throughout the sport is the final go-round for legendary Duke coach, Mike Krzyzewski, as they start off their season with a win vs. Kentucky. People are already thinking that they are Final Four bound come March. Is it premature to even think that? Plus, Gonzaga has a 'championship or bust' mentality as they're out of the gate with a 2-0 record.

(49:58) Alexander Ovechkin continues to be his dominant goal scoring self as he's creeping up the all time list. He's now in 4th place behind Jaromir Jagr, Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky. Can he catch the Great One? Sidney Crosby has made his return back from COVID. Do they still garner respect as a championship caliber team? Has their window closed? I'll see what else is happening in the NHL as check on some surprises and disappointments, including the health status of Canadiens goaltender, Carey Price as we're more than a month into the season.

(57:03) Lastly, I'll have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:07) With baseball out of our consciousness, all of early part of the NBA, NHL seasons, the teeth of the college football schedule about to be played, it's going to be all about The Shield (a.k.a. The NFL) They went through a week that they'd like to forget as the league had to endure one its players involved in a fatal car accident (i.e. Henry Ruggs) a positive COVID test and spoken untruth from arguably its best player (i.e. Aaron Rodgers) and drama surrounding its talented, yet mercurial wide receiver (i.e. Odell Beckham, Jr.) as he gets his release from the Cleveland Browns. Of course, I'll discuss my winners (Denver & Cleveland) and losers (Buffalo, LA Rams, New Orleans) of Week 9 and how this season has been underwhelming to date.

(40:22) The craziness of college football has come to roost yet again as Michigan State falls by the wayside and are on the outside looking in for the playoffs come New Year's Eve. I'll detail the week that was in the sport, including an early look as to who I see making it to the college football playoff late next month.

(50:56) I'll recap a World Series championship win by the Atlanta Braves, as unexpected of a Series run that we've seen. Now, we must fasten our seatbelts for what looks like a long, cold, hard winter of negotiations as the owners and players will have to come up with a new CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) which will most likely be a fight to the bitter end. Will there be a new agreement in time for the 2022 season? Will it be delayed? Postponed?

(56:17) The NBA is going to have to deal with another scenario regarding an owner with alleged racist and misogynistic comments as Robert Sarver of the Suns has been reported in the past week by ESPN. Even with the investigation ongoing, what should the NBA do? Is Sarver on his way out? I'll also take a trip around the Association to see what's the latest, including normalcy is back in the Eastern Conference, Joel Embiid will have to sit out due to a positive COVID test and is this the beginning of the end of LeBron James's indestructibility?

(1:03:52) The ongoing saga in Buffalo with center Jack Eichel has come to an end. He gets dealt to the Vegas Golden Knights for players and draft picks. Who got the better of the deal? Plus, Sidney Crosby's return to the ice from a wrist injury was brief (i.e. COVID) and the rest of what's happening on the ice as we're closing in on the first complete month of the NHL season.

(1:13:27) Canelo Alvarez has unified all four titles in the super middleweight division. With his record (57-1-2, 39 KO's) is he considered an all time great fighter in the history of boxing?

(1:20:05) In MMA, Kamaru Usman defeats longtime rival Colby Covington in a close decision on Saturday night as they've competed in ten fights! Is this one time (or five times) too many? Has this matchup become tiresome?

(1:22:50) Of course, I wrap up with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:53) The World Series has now made its turn past the weekend and into a Game 6 in Houston. I'll recap all that took place to this point as the Astros stave off elimination. Can the Astros extend this series? Will the Braves win Game 6? Or 7? What is a potential key factor the Astros as they do their best to push this series to a decisive winner take all, Game 7? I'll get into the length of these World Series games. What can they do to fix it? And can any of these hitters take a strike especially in the later innings? I'll also talk about the Padres hire of former A's manager, Bob Melvin. And the Mets continued, but failing pursuit for a VP of baseball operations and skipper to lead this franchise next year.

(33:56) NFL Week 8 had some intriguing outcomes as we inch closer to the midway point of the season. I'll share my winners (GB, NO) and losers (CIN, CLE) of the week. It's time for Odell Beckham Jr. to be dealt from Cleveland and other notes as I look back on the schedule this past Sunday.

(52:47) The Big Ten schedule has begun their Battle Royale slate as Michigan loses a brutal game to their in-state rivals, Michigan State. Iowa couldn't muster up any offense vs. Wisconsin and Penn State's comeback fell short vs. Ohio State as those games were the highlight in college football this past week. Does Michigan still have a shot at college football's Final Four? What about Michigan State?

(1:01:28) Who would've thought that the top of the Eastern Conference after two weeks would have the Knicks, Wizards, Bulls and Hornets as teams above the Sixers, Bucks, Nets and Celtics in the standing? Are these teams for real? Can they sustain this early season success?

(1:06:35) The Chicago Blackhawks have gone through the ringer and the season is only three weeks old. They've had several players come down with COVID, have not been able to win a game to date, but its the fallout from the sexual assault allegations regarding a former assistant coach towards a player, Kyle Beach, more than a decade ago that has rocked the organization and the league. In the process, the former coach, Joel Quenneville, who was in Florida coaching the Panthers, has resigned. I'll discuss the after effects of this sad and sordid story and take a look around the ice for the latest and greatest in the NHL.

(5:09) Baseball fans! The Fall Classic is set! I'll review the roads that the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves took to get to the World Series, the storylines of this upcoming series and how they'll fare as they shoot for a championship (and I'll have a prediction, of course). I'll also get into how the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers limp into the offseason, the Cardinals fire and hire a new manager and should former Giants GM Brian Sabean receive a call from the New York Mets about their front office position?

(33:35) NFL Week 7 was a complete atrocity. The schedule produced a lot of lopsided scores as it was a week to forget. I'll have my winners (CIN, LV) and losers (KC, SF) and take a peek at at Week 8 slate that looks just as bad as Week 7.

(47:32) Penn St. becomes the latest top ranked team to take an 'L' in college football, but the battle royale will begin in the Big Ten starting this weekend as the schedule intensifies in the conference. I'll discuss that, as well as, will Alabama get picked off before the SEC Championship Game based on their recent sloppy play?

(55:55) The Lakers and Nets have gotten off to not so good starts, but the talk in the Association is the saga of Ben Simmons and his likely departure in Philadelphia. What should the 76ers do? How will they go about getting rid of the mercurial point guard? I'll check on the hot and cold starts to some of the teams throughout the league. And you know, I have to add my two shiny red pennies to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team. How I disagree with a couple of selections and a few snubs that's getting traction, but not with yours truly. You won't want to miss on what I have to say about that!

(1:14:38) The NHL is into its second week. The Blackhawks are the latest team to get hit by COVID and they haven't won a game so far this season. I'll go through some of the teams that are making waves to this point and the others that surprisingly are scuffling out of the gate.

(1:17:57) And to close, there's my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:09) Baseball fans! The Fall Classic is set! I'll review the roads that the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves took to get to the World Series, the storylines of this upcoming series and how they'll fare as they shoot for a championship (and I'll have a prediction, of course). I'll also get into how the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers limp into the offseason, the Cardinals fire and hire a new manager and should former Giants GM Brian Sabean receive a call from the New York Mets about their front office position?

(33:35) NFL Week 7 was a complete atrocity. The schedule produced a lot of lopsided scores as it was a week to forget. I'll have my winners (CIN, LV) and losers (KC, SF) and take a peek at at Week 8 slate that looks just as bad as Week 7.

(5:34) I start off the podcast with a little housekeeping as I discuss my whereabouts over the past week, as to why I didn't release my usual Monday podcast yesterday.

(7:45) The MLB postseason gets us off the deck. It hasn't been the most memorable or one to remember just yet. I'll go over why it's been underwhelming to this point (i.e. White Sox, Rays and Brewers.) The controversial 'check swing' call in the Division Series finale between the Dodgers and Giants. (Although it didn't affect the outcome of the situation. I'll explain!) I'll bring you up to speed on the current state of the AL & NLCS, which begs the question? Can the Astros and Dodgers fight back to win their respective series with a date for a World Championship on the line? What would be the best World Series matchup of the final four teams left? Also, the Yankees re-sign Aaron Boone as their manager, but for how long?

(27:01) NFL Week 6 had its moments, but it was overshadowed by the resignation of Raiders head coach, Jon Gruden. I have a thought on that, in connection with the Washington Football Team and owner Daniel Snyder as to get his feet to the fire on all that's taken place down in the Nation's Capital over the past decade. I'll share my winners (BAL & JAX) and losers (CLE, CHI) of the week. As well as, the bloom is off of the rose regarding CBS color commentator Tony Romo as his schtick has become tiresome, in my eyes.

(48:42) The Iowa Hawkeyes caused a stir as the latest in the top four of college football to lose and plummet in the rankings. Even bigger news was reported off the field as three coaches (LSU's Ed Orgeron's exit at the end of the year, Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher shooting down rumors to LSU and Washington State's Nick Rolovich was jettisoned because he did not get vaccinated prior to the deadline set by the administration.) Plus, an early look at the upcoming schedules in the Big Ten over the next month and change for Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State.

(59:32) The NBA tips off its 75th season and I have lots to dive into as far as storylines (i.e. Are we destined for a Nets-Lakers Finals? The soap opera that is the Nets (i.e. Kyrie Irving). Why Anthony Davis is the key to winning a championship? Can Utah and Phoenix rebound from great regular seasons last year?) among other questions throughout the league. I'll have a preview, my over/under numbers, an NBA Finals prediction and what will the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team will look like?

(1:26:29) The NHL season is a week old. Just a couple of things to get into whether it's the Kraken's first ever victory, Islanders slow start, an early injury impacting the back to back Cup winning Tampa Bay Lightning and the troubles continue in the life of Sharks forward, Evander Kane, as he's been suspended for 21 games because of established violation of COVID protocols.

(1:29:28) College basketball, anyone? I'll discuss who the preseason #1 is and go through the top 10 as this sport will make its way into our stratosphere in the not too distant future.

(5:08) I start off with some housekeeping to forewarn you about playing injured as I battle through the podcast with a very hoarse voice.

(6:28) I recap the past week of the MLB playoffs as I get into the controversy of Game 3 with the ground rule double of the Red Sox-Rays. Can the Rays save their historic regular season and push the series to a decisive fifth game? The Astros took a 2-0 series lead, but the White Sox have made it interesting, amidst reports of a Sox pitcher claiming that there may be some sign stealing going on. Can the Astros close them out in their own park? In the National League, the Dodgers evened up their hotly contested series against their bitter rivals in San Francisco. Can the defending champs close out the 107 regular season win Giants? And will the Braves be able to upset the Brewers in a low scoring couple of games that led to a split in Milwaukee? I'll also discuss the exits of two managers in San Diego and my beloved Mets as they'll be in search mode for a new skipper.

(24:38) The week (five) that was in the NFL was rather quiet despite a couple of exciting games. I'll get into the winners (Rams & Eagles) and losers (Chiefs & Raiders as I go in on both teams, including the controversy surrounding Raider coach, Jon Gruden's comments a decade ago) and everything else that went down (ahem, Jaguars coach, Urban Meyer), including a look into Week 6 (which looks to be more of a bore) of the schedule.

(44:51) College football had a classic Red River Shootout (Oklahoma vs. Texas), but the Alabama Crimson Tide losing at Texas A&M was the top story of Saturday. What are their chances of making the college football playoff now that they've dropped to #5 in the nation? Plus, all of the other action as the top of the heap continues to flip flop as the drama builds in the sport.

(55:52) The fall and winter sports will usher in over the next two weeks. Up first, is the NHL as I'll preview the top storylines (Lightning three-peat? Kraken's inaugural season, Maple Leafs rebound from playoff disappointment. CORRECTION: The Maple Leafs did not win the Eastern Conference last year. It was the Northern Division), go through the divisions and present a Stanley Cup Final prediction and winner, which may or may not surprise you!

(1:09:17) I'll spend a minute or two on the damage control by the representation of Sixers guard, Ben Simmons as he's losing money by the second as he continues to not report to the team. Why this is going to be irreparable with the fans and the impact that it'll have if he stays in Philadelphia?

(1:10:39) There was a heavyweight fight in boxing as the third fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder squaring off in Vegas turned out to be an absolute slugfest. Was it an instant classic?

(1:13:02) To close out, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(1:15:39) I'll also have a programming note for next week's podcast that you won't want to miss.

(5:38) I have to vent about how my current sports life, to put it bluntly, sucks right about now! I'll get into why I start off this podcast in such a feisty mood.

(10:17) The marathon of a baseball season is over. Now it's onto the Hunt for Red October as the postseason is about to commence. I'll dive into the top storylines on the eve of the playoffs, key injuries, the matchups of the Wild Card and Division Series, with some early predictions as the chase for the World Series Trophy is all set.

(33:19) I highlight the winners (i.e. Arizona & Seattle) and losers (Tennessee & New Orleans) of Week 4 in the NFL. It was a rather ho-hum Sunday throughout the league, but the biggest game in several years took place as the return of Tom Brady to his old stomping grounds in Foxborough as the Buccaneers squeaked by the Patriots in a much ballyhooed matchup between the defending Super Bowl champs and Bill Belichick. I'll delve into all that transpired this past week for Brady and his former team. I'll even share a thought on the announcement of the Super Bowl halftime show of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.

(55:55) Look out college football, but there may be an underdog that's here to stay in the playoff scenario as the Cincinnati Bearcats upset the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish, which begs the question, can they possibly be a representative for the Final Four come New Years' Eve? I'll breakdown the potential angles of how they can make it, plus, quite a few top teams take a hit to their championship aspirations (i.e. Arkansas, Notre Dame, Florida and Oregon) in another wild and wacky Saturday in the sport.

(1:04:31) The NBA season starts in just two weeks. Vaccinations in two locales (i.e. New York and San Francisco) have become hot topics, in particular for Nets point guard, Kyrie Irving. I'll have an update on him and Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins as the league prepares for the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Association.

(1:07:02) An interesting story has come about in the NHL regarding Vegas goalie, Robin Lehner and how there's been medical malpractice throughout the league when it comes to abusing pharmaceuticals. Will this been an ongoing story as the league raises its curtain a week from tomorrow?

(1:09:41) As always, I conclude with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(55:55) Look out college football, but there may be an underdog that's here to stay in the playoff scenario as the Cincinnati Bearcats upset the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish, which begs the question, can they possibly be a representative for the Final Four come New Years' Eve? I'll breakdown the potential angles of how they can make it, plus, quite a few top teams take a hit to their championship aspirations (i.e. Arkansas, Notre Dame, Florida and Oregon) in another wild and wacky Saturday in the sport.

(1:04:31) The NBA season starts in just two weeks. Vaccinations in two locales (i.e. New York and San Francisco) have become hot topics, in particular for Nets point guard, Kyrie Irving. I'll have an update on him and Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins as the league prepares for the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Association.

(1:07:02) An interesting story has come about in the NHL regarding Vegas goalie, Robin Lehner and how there's been medical malpractice throughout the league when it comes to abusing pharmaceuticals. Will this been an ongoing story as the league raises its curtain a week from tomorrow?

(1:09:41) As always, I conclude with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:14) Another wacky, zany week in the NFL as it did not disappoint with last second record breaking field goals, last second field goals in general, record breaking run backs were in store as I highlight my winners (LAC, CIN) and losers (DET, NYG/NYJ & the NFL) Wait! The NFL? Yes. Them. I'll also address the Steelers issues and how it may not get better soon. The obvious hype and hoopla leading into the biggest game of the year as Tom Brady heads to Foxborough to face his old team in New England on Sunday Night Football.

(48:20) As I recap a ho-hum college football week, we won't have to worry about Clemson getting back to a college playoff as they've suffered their second loss and we haven't even hit October. Also, will Arkansas continue to make waves in the sport as they're off to a hot start, but with a visit to #2 Georgia on Saturday and a trip to Alabama later in the season, they certainly have their work cut out to stake their claim as a top program in the country.

(55:35) The Cardinals have steamrolled to the second wild card in the NL, winners of 16 in a row. Have they peaked too soon? As for the Yankees, they've streaked to the top of the AL wild card with six games to go. Will they hang on to host a postseason home game next Tuesday? Will the Phillies catch the Braves? Who'll win the NL West. I'll provide an up to the second pennant race update as to who may qualify and who'll be left out?

(1:08:43) The Ryder Cup provided little to no drama as the Americans destroyed the Europeans in convincing fashion, 19-9. What was the turning point? What was the fuel that led to the US winning decisively? Have Brooks Koepka and Bryson Dechambeau buried the hatchet to their long standing feud?

(1:14:08) NBA training camps will open up this week and Kyrie Irving is already in the news (i.e. vaccinations), but the big story is what's taking place in Philadelphia with the Ben Simmons saga as he wants out and won't report to camp.

(1:21:01) A couple of NHL news and notes regarding the Penguins Evgeni Malkin, the Sabres Jack Eichel and the Wild sign their future and rookie of the year, Kirill Kaprizov.

(5:56) We're into the homestretch of the MLB season and the Wild Card chase is front and center as two of its preseason favorites (i.e. Padres & Yankees) are on the cusp of early vacations this fall. Will they fare well over the last two weeks and make the playoffs? As for the teams that are riding high, the Cardinals are primed to play the winner of the Dodgers or Giants as they've steamrolled to the second spot of the Wild Card race. I'll have an up to the minute recap of all that's going on in the pennant races throughout the AL & NL and put to rest the 2021 NY Mets and the wonderful documentary, Once Upon A Time in Queens, the ESPN 30 For 30 Documentary on the 1986 Mets.

(37:14) NFL Week 2 had some tense moments, but overall wasn't captivating any of the fans hearts or imaginations. My winners (Ravens, Raiders) and losers (Saints, Seahawks) highlight this past week, as well as, thoughts on my beloved Steelers in losing to Las Vegas at home, the rest of the schedule this past Sunday and my knockout pick for Week 3.

(56:08) Is there concern for the Alabama defense? They displayed a few warts that we haven't seen for some time. Could there be a loss on their schedule in the near future? Is QB Bryce Young on the fast track to a Heisman Trophy? I'll review the latest rankings in this rather quiet Week 3 in college football, with a look to an even quieter Week 4.

(1:04:49) The Ryder Cup kicks off the weekend this Friday at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. How will the Americans play against their brethren overseas? Will the Bryson Dechambeau-Brooks Koepka rivalry come to a boil during this tournament? Also, as good as he's been of late, how is Patrick Cantlay the #1 player in the world? I'll share some thoughts on this.

(1:10:00) As NHL training camp approaches, the Islanders signed a player whose career comes full circle, but may be impactful. Is Zdeno Chara the missing piece that the team needs to get themselves to the Stanley Cup? Will his leadership and experience be enough to put them over the top?

(1:15:23) The Association is kind of low key, but there are a couple of things to discuss. John Wall and the Rockets have agreed to a divorce. What teams may be in play? The announcement of new Bucks play by play TV announcer is historic. Clippers owner, Steve Ballmer, has his sights set on a new arena in Inglewood to establish some presence and identity in LA, to distance themselves from their current roommates, the Lakers (aka The Expendables).

(1:19:23) To wrap up, I'll have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:21) Week 1 of the NFL did not disappoint. I'll discuss the biggest winners (Arizona, Miami) and losers (Green Bay, Buffalo & Tennessee) of the opening week and go through the schedule to see what took place in a wild and crazy start to the season.

(37:16) The wild card pennant races in the AL & NL are heating up, especially with both New York teams right in the middle of it. A hotly contested Subway Series over the weekend was the highlight in there were lots of fireworks coming from Mets SS Francisco Lindor with his bat and mouth. Also, it's time for the Yankees to trade Gary Sanchez and their plight over the last two weeks. Plus, the latest with who's still fighting for a playoff spot and who's fading fast. And a thought on the upcoming ESPN 30 for 30: Once Upon A Time in Queens, a documentary on the 1986 NY Mets.
(58:36) The top story out of college football this past week was how the Oregon Ducks pulled off an upset not a lot of people saw as they beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus. Does this mean it's curtains for Ohio State's chances of making it to the college football playoff? I'll get into that and recap some of the better matchups of Saturday, update the latest top ten rankings and look ahead to Week 4.
(1:06:33) The last Grand Slam event of the tennis season was intriguing as we have a teenage winner on the women's side (Emma Radacanu) and her journey to being a champion. But the main story was how Novak Djokovic's quest for immortality was shut down as Daniil Medvedev is your 2021 men's champ. I'll dissect what possibly happened to 'Joker' and how he fell short of winning the tournament, capturing his 21st title which would've been a record and becoming the first player in 52 years to win a calendar Grand Slam.
(1:14:54) Lastly, an update of Evander Holyfield filling in for Oscar de la Hoya in a fight that took place over the weekend. Needless to say, it didn't end up well. Same for Tito Ortiz in his fight with Anderson Silva.
(1:17:30) Of course, there's my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:48) In what has been a weird and unpredicatable baseball season, the MLB playoff push goes into overdrive as we're a week into the month of September. How important is it for the Giants to win the division? Will they have what it takes psychologically to go deep in October if they end up hosting the Wild Card Game after leading the NL West all summer long? The NL East is getting interesting as the Braves have come back to the pack. The Phillies and Mets have cut into the divsion lead, but an intriguing week schedule wise could be a true test as they chase Atlanta for the top spot. The Yankees have cooled off after a torrid winning streak. The Mariners have overachieved as they're putting pressure on the teams above them in the AL wild card race. I discuss my over/under win totals as we hit the homestretch and what will Derek Jeter's Hall of Fame speech sound like come Wednesday night in Cooperstown?

(45:15) The NFL season is on the horizon. I'll get into the Week 1 storylines, including the release of Cam Newton in New England. The controversy surrounding vaccinated and unvaccinated players coming out of training camp and into the season. The big games on the schedule for the first week. With my 2021 Preview upcoming on Thursday, I'll share a nugget on who my knockout pool pick will be come Sunday.

(1:01:41) College football's first week had a quite few good matchups, but most did not live up to the hype. Georgia was stout in their win against Clemson. How that stacks up when it comes to the college football playoff down the road? Alabama was unstoppable, Notre Dame had to hang on to win vs. Florida State. #2 seed Oklahoma holds on win while being the 'road' team at home. Those are some of the games I'll discuss and I'll take a look ahead to Week 2.

(1:09:52) The Expendables, ahem, I mean, Lakers are at it again as they bring in ANOTHER reinforcement/mercenary in their quest to keep LeBron James happy for the franchise's 18th championship. The Nets also take a page out of the Expendables, bringing in two players, one who retired suddenly as a member of the team last year (i.e. Lamarcus Aldridge) and one who has lots of postseason experience (Paul Millsap). Plus, the Ben Simmons drama is percolating in Philadelphia as he wants out before the start of the year. Will it happen? Could this be a potential distraction? Who may be involved in trading for the talented, but disgruntled All-Star?

(1:17:20) A couple of NHL notes with a new COVID protocol and the players will participate in the Winter Games next year.

(1:17:56) The US Open tennis tournament has taken an unexpected twist as FIVE major developments have boiled to the surface over the past few days as the #3 men's player (i.e. Stefanos Tsitsipas) has been surprisingly ousted before the quarterfinals. The rise of 18 year old Carlos Alcaraz as he becomes the youngest player in 58 years to make the quarterfinal round. On the woman's side, another player rising in stature is Laylah Fernandez as she defeats both Naomi Osaka AND Angelique Kerber to thrust herself in the conversation to push for a semifinal or finals berth. The #1 women's player won't be around for a title as she gets bounced from the tournament after holding a comfortable lead against Shelby Rogers. I also get into the emotional press conference of Naomi Osaka and how this could be the last we see of her for quite some time. And then Sloane Stephens shares her experience of the hate and vitriol that's spewed on her social media accounts.

(1:33:30) Golfer Patrick Cantlay has won back to back tournaments over the course of eight days. Is this something to cherish or applaud? Or is it because it's not a major, does it not matter? Should we focus in on him being a top level player on the tour?

(1:36:32) Former boxing champion Oscar de la Hoya had an upcoming fight this weekend but had to bow out due to contracting the coronavirus. You won't believe who his replacement is scheduled to be. Evander Holyfield. YES! That Evander Holyfield!

(1:38:25) And of course, I close out with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:55) The polar opposites of the New York baseball teams as they've made news in the sport this past week. First up, the Yankees just completed a 13 game winning streak, putting themselves in prime position to make the postseason. It does pose the question, do you trust this core (i.e. Judge, Stanton, Sanchez, Torres, etc.) to deliver a championship? (17:33) Another rant about the god forsaken team that I root for in the Mets. How analytics ruined a big start by Taijuan Walker, the Javier Baez 'Thumbs Down' fiasco to the fans and there MUST be a complete house cleaning in store from the top on down as this team needs to do some major self-analysis this offseason. Plus, I'll take a look at the MLB playoff landscape as we head into the final month of the season.

(43:00) The NFL season is a week plus upon us. I'll review the over/under win totals for the year. Perhaps I'll give you a peek as to who I may choose come next week. I'll even get into my potential knockout pool pick to start off Week 1. I'll highlight what's going on throughout the league with some news and notes.

(54:04) The college football season is underway. I'll get into the first matchup of note this past weekend, what lies ahead this weekend as the highlight game will take place between #5 Georgia vs. #3 Clemson. I'll preview if there'll be a change at the top of the college football rankings at all throughout the course of the year, the alliance between the PAC-12, ACC & Big Ten and who'll be Heisman hopefuls come December?

(1:02:14) The Association was quiet, but there were a few transactions that took place. The Knicks offered Julius Randle a fair extension for some team flexibility. The new look Lakers add another familiar piece in Rajon Rondo as I'm going to dub them 'The Expendables' after the action movie and its mega cast of action heroes of the past. Is Kevin Garnett's Celtic number worthy of being risen up to the rafters at the TD Garden in Boston?

(1:09:17) Some signings in the NHL, a change in representation for Sabres' Jack Eichel as I've discussed in a recent podcast and a sad, untimely passing of former player, Jimmy Hayes.

(1:13:55) The final major tennis tournament of the year (US Open) with the only storyline being Novak Djokovic's chase for immortality in completing the calendar Grand Slam. Will he do it? Will the pressure mount as he gets closer to winning? What about the women's side as Naomi Osaka returns for her first Slam appearance since the Australian Open.

(1:20:08) Jake Paul is continuing to make his way and name in the world of boxing as he wins a split decision against former MMA fighter, Tyron Woodley. Is this a guy that we're going to have to take seriously?

(1:23:05) A thrilling six hole playoff goes under the radar, because it wasn't a major golf tournament, had Patrick Cantlay winning over Bryson Dechambeau as golf starts to gear up for the Ryder Cup coming soon.

(1:25:01) And closing out with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:21) All seems to be right in the MLB as the following teams who had slow and sluggish starts and were expected to do big things this year (ATL, LAD & NYY) have all been a part of nine game winning streaks to propel them in great position to participate in the playoffs this October. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera hits his 500th home run of his illustrious career. Who is the next guy in line to hit one of baseball's biggest milestones? MLB is scheduling another 'Field of Dreams' Game next year between the Cubs and Reds. Will it capture the imagination and success the way it did this year? I'll have an up to the minute report on a couple of teams coming on strong in the Wild Card race as the pennant chase heats up with September on the horizon.

(37:41) The NFL preseason will close out this week and there's a lot of promise in NY surrounding #2 overall pick in QB, Zach Wilson. Why his productive training camp may not translate to success in the regular season? Same for Trey Lance in SF as he's looking to stake his claim as the starting QB over Jimmy Garoppolo. Could that possibly happen? My thoughts on HBO's Hard Knocks with the Dallas Cowboys. Plus, a key injury with the Jets (Carl Lawson), a key re-signing in Seattle (Jamal Adams) and two players recovering quickly from injury could be on a practice field this week (Indianapolis QB Carson Wentz and OG Quentin Nelson) and with college football just ten days away, I'll have who AP ranks as the #1 team in the nation. (It comes as no surprise.)

(52:20) The NBA schedule highlights the big news of the week. I'll detail the Christmas Day matchups, as well as, who'll play opening night to tip off the 75th anniversary of the Association. LeBron James not receiving one vote for being the best player in the league? I was shocked to see how low the NBA over/under win totals for the upcoming year were. I have a reason why that you won't want to miss. The Celtics have re-signed a couple of key contributors with their team (Marcus Smart & Robert Williams) Why is the Draymond Green-Kevin Durant squabble from two seasons ago rearing its ugly head today? Was the coach/GM of Golden State to blame as to why Durant didn't re-sign with the Warriors? Also, what's the latest with Ben Simmons's status as a member of the 76ers?

(1:09:54) The Arizona Coyotes will need to look for a new address to play? Will they stay in the state? Is Houston a possible destination? The NHL will adopt the ads on jerseys starting the year after next. The #1 pick of the draft this year will not suit up for Buffalo this year as he'll go back to college to play in his sophomore year. Was it something more than that? (i.e. Jack Eichel situation?) And the passing of NY Ranger great, Rod Gilbert.

(1:15:34) Another major competitor in men's tennis will not participate in a major tournament as Rafael Nadal will sit out with a foot injury. Does this make the road easier for Novak Djokovic to win the historic Grand Slam in a calendar year? Will there be an asterisk next to it if he does win?

(1:18:04) Manny Pacquiao surprisingly loses to an unknown fighter for the welterweight title. Is this the end for legendary boxer?

(1:20:59) Of course, to close the pod, I have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:21) All seems to be right in the MLB as the following teams who had slow and sluggish starts and were expected to do big things this year (ATL, LAD & NYY) have all been a part of nine game winning streaks to propel them in great position to participate in the playoffs this October. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera hits his 500th home run of his illustrious career. Who is the next guy in line to hit one of baseball's biggest milestones? MLB is scheduling another 'Field of Dreams' Game next year between the Cubs and Reds. Will it capture the imagination and success the way it did this year? I'll have an up to the minute report on a couple of teams coming on strong in the Wild Card race as the pennant chase heats up with September on the horizon.

(37:41) The NFL preseason will close out this week and there's a lot of promise in NY surrounding #2 overall pick in QB, Zach Wilson. Why his productive training camp may not translate to success in the regular season? Same for Trey Lance in SF as he's looking to stake his claim as the starting QB over Jimmy Garoppolo. Could that possibly happen? My thoughts on HBO's Hard Knocks with the Dallas Cowboys. Plus, a key injury with the Jets (Carl Lawson), a key re-signing in Seattle (Jamal Adams) and two players recovering quickly from injury could be on a practice field this week (Indianapolis QB Carson Wentz and OG Quentin Nelson) and with college football just ten days away, I'll have who AP ranks as the #1 team in the nation. (It comes as no surprise.)

(52:20) The NBA schedule highlights the big news of the week. I'll detail the Christmas Day matchups, as well as, who'll play opening night to tip off the 75th anniversary of the Association. LeBron James not receiving one vote for being the best player in the league? I was shocked to see how low the NBA over/under win totals for the upcoming year were. I have a reason why that you won't want to miss. The Celtics have re-signed a couple of key contributors with their team (Marcus Smart & Robert Williams) Why is the Draymond Green-Kevin Durant squabble from two seasons ago rearing its ugly head today? Was the coach/GM of Golden State to blame as to why Durant didn't re-sign with the Warriors? Also, what's the latest with Ben Simmons's status as a member of the 76ers?

(1:09:54) The Arizona Coyotes will need to look for a new address to play? Will they stay in the state? Is Houston a possible destination? The NHL will adopt the ads on jerseys starting the year after next. The #1 pick of the draft this year will not suit up for Buffalo this year as he'll go back to college to play in his sophomore year. Was it something more than that? (i.e. Jack Eichel situation?) And the passing of NY Ranger great, Rod Gilbert.

(1:15:34) Another major competitor in men's tennis will not participate in a major tournament as Rafael Nadal will sit out with a foot injury. Does this make the road easier for Novak Djokovic to win the historic Grand Slam in a calendar year? Will there be an asterisk next to it if he does win?

(1:18:04) Manny Pacquiao surprisingly loses to an unknown fighter for the welterweight title. Is this the end for legendary boxer?

(1:20:59) Of course, to close the pod, I have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:52) Despite college & pro football in the not too distant future and the winter sports (hockey and basketball) opening up training camps next month, it's all about baseball as the pennant races start to shift a little bit. I'll share my thoughts on the Field Of Dreams game in Iowa between the Yankees vs. White Sox and how this is a positive if they were to put this event on the schedule year in and year out. I'll also get into the returns of Fernando Tatis Jr. and what he means to the Padres. The unlikelihood of history being made by Diamondbacks pitcher, Tyler Gilbert throwing a no-hitter in his first start. Chris Sale's first time on a major league mound since 2019 and what he means to the Red Sox? Will Gerrit Cole be rejuvenated after a stint on the COVID health and safety protocol list? Plus, all of the latest up to the minute pennant races as I go across the entire MLB landscape.

(36:17) I'm tracking the early progress of the QB's that were drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft (i.e. Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence, New York Jets Zach Wilson, San Francisco's Trey Lance and Chicago's Justin Fields) as they headline what's going on in training camp to date. Some news regarding a smart trade by the Steelers. Have the chances run out for talented but troubled DE Aldon Smith? And what's happening in New Orleans as the Saints aren't able to get out of their own way with personnel issues, no starting NFL corners and is Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill the answer at QB?

(50:14) There were a couple of major signings in the NBA as Luka Doncic re-ups with the Mavericks, but more of the talk is the Kawhi Leonard contract with the Clippers. While that may not come as a surprise, it does beg the question, can you trust him 100% to deliver despite his basketball resume? Speaking of the Clippers, they've made an upgrade at the guard position which'll help them battle it out for Western Conference supremacy. And the Celtics sign a point guard who's an 'irrational confidence' guy, but will it pay dividends with the young guys on the team?

(1:02:10) A huge injury from one of the NHL's top stars in Toronto (Auston Matthews) may be sidelined right up until the start of the season. And a veteran (Joe Thornton) going on two decades in the league signs with the upstart Florida Panthers. Also, the sad passing of legendary goaltender, Tony Esposito.

(1:07:02) Roger Federer will miss 'many months' as he needs another surgery on his right knee. Is this the beginning of the end for the all-time great?

(1:08:38) Boxing takes another hit as Errol Spence Jr. had to step away from his fight with Manny Pacquiao as he deals with an eye issue. Will his substitute bring any attention to the boxing/fight fan out there?

(1:10:42) As always, I close out with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

SPREAKER: 4593cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/another-mets-meltdown-is-there-hope-lake
(5:17) The collapse of the NY Mets as they not only fall out of first place for the first time in three months, but fall to third place in the division in a 48 hour span. I'll recap the disgrace of a road trip with a sweep in Philadelphia and should us Met fans hold out any hope? Is this season, which is going down the drain, relatively over in August? I'll take a trip throughout the sport with what's happening on the diamond and catch you all up on the pennant races to date.

(36:49) The Association (a.k.a. The NBA) was wheeling and dealing over the past week. Some controversy regarding some sign and trades (i.e. Lonzo Ball & Kyle Lowry) regarding alleged tampering prior to the opening of free agency. Who were the big winners of the past week? I'll cover all of the major tranactions, including the Lakers re-tool and reload as they look to get back to winning another championship.

(51:24) The NFL had a very good week with the preseason underway for the first time in two years. A couple of major signings, including Bills QB, Josh Allen's $258 million dollar contract. What does this mean for his fellow draft classmates Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson? Contracts are the theme off the field when it comes to the current status of Steeler OLB T.J. Watt, Dolphins CB Xavien Howard, Justin Houston choosing Baltimore over Pittsburgh, to name a few. I'll also share my thoughts about the historic Hall of Fame ceremonies over the weekend to induct the 2020 & 2021 honorees into Canton. The life and legacy of former Florida State football coach, Bobby Bowden, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 91. Plus, the end of the Big 12 in college football as Oklahoma and Texas will move over to the SEC in 2025.

(1:06:44) The Olympics have finally come to a close. Why were the ratings more than 50% lower than the past summer games of yesteryear? I'll take a look at the top stories of the past week and look ahead to the Winter Games which will take place less than six months from now in Beijing, China.

(1:11:46) The ongoing saga between Sabres F Jack Eichel and management in regards to surgery that needs to be required on his neck with FIVE YEARS left on his deal. How long will this tug of war last? Will the Sabres trade their top player? Will he stay in Buffalo? Is surgery on the table anytime soon? A fascinating story developing with one of the league's top players. Also, a couple of key defensemen re-sign with their clubs.

(1:20:44) There was a dominant victory in the heavyweight division on Saturday night in the UFC. Is Cyril Gane one to look out for in the weeks and months to come?

(1:22:48) One of the world's most popular athletes in the world, soccer legend Lionel Messi, leaves Barcelona to reportedly sign with PSG. So I'll have a word on that.

(1:25:10) To close, I have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:15) The wild, crazy, fast and furious of the MLB trade deadline with tons of wheeling and dealing that we' haven’t seen on this level. I'll assess all of the big deals (Max Scherzer/Trea Turner, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, etc.) and the impact that they'll have in the pennant race. Are the Yankees primed for a run to the postseason? Also, a little state of the Mets union that has me a little worried as we’re closing in on the final two months of the regular season.

(40:26) The NBA offseason has begun as I'll recap the little hype that the NBA draft produced this year, but I'll dive head first into the Lakers monster trade for Russell Westbrook. Why I think it could be more harm than good? Would you risk signing Kawhi Leonard if you're an NBA owner? And some of the other top headlines that are coming out (the Ben Simmons trade saga, anyone?)

(54:49) The NHL is off and running with free agency in their own right as you have players on the move (i.e. Marc Andre Fleury, Brandan Saad) and players staying put (Gabriel Landeskog and Brayden Point) Also, a longtime Bruin goes back home (David Krejci).

(1:00:25) I'm not ready for football just yet, but there's quite a bit to get into whether it's Xavien Howard's contract fallout in Miami, Aaron Rodgers's surprise return to training camp and the injury to Carson Wentz in Indianapolis which will interrupt their Super Bowl aspirations with a sprinkle of signings in Baltimore and Cleveland. Why are Madden 22 ratings part of the discussion in sports?

(1:09:10) The Olympics march on to its second full week, but the spotlight on Simone Biles withdrawing from both team and individual competition amid reports about mental health? Although she is coming back to compete in the beam final, how this story became the most talked about in the world? And why the criticism in some circles is downright wrong? Plus, the latest with what's going on in Tokyo.

SPOTIFY TRAILER: 4784cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/mlb-rumors-trade-deadline-week-should-th
(6:08) Baseball is the last sport standing as we've hit the Sports Dead Zone Pt. 2, with lots of rumors milling around with the Trade Deadline set for Saturday at 4pm. The Rays have fired the first salvo bringing in a bat (Nelson Cruz) as well as, trading P Rich Hill to the Mets. The Padres made a move for All-Star, Adam Frazier to secure their infield. I discuss other big time players that can be on the move (Trevor Story, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Max Scherzer, to name a few) and my take on the Yankees as they should sell, including stars, Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres and yes, Aaron Judge with my state of the Bombers this late in the season. I'll explain why. There are some key players coming back (White Sox OF, Eloy Jimenez) and some on the IL (Dodgers OF, Mookie Betts) There's also a new name for one of baseball's oldest teams. I'll update all of the latest pennant races with not too much drama in the AL & NL as of today.

(34:08) The Bucks win their first title in 50 years on the shoulders and back of Giannis Antetokoumpo. How does his epic performance rank all time in close out games? Also, the flipside of the Suns setting as they weren't able to secure two more wins after being up 2-0 in the series. Does this affect Chris Paul's legacy? How about Devin Booker? Deandre Ayton? Will they be back in the Finals next year? I'll share who'll be the potential top picks in the upcoming NBA Draft may be.

(52:40) The Kraken have completed their draft and filled out a roster for their inaugural season in 2021-22. Were there any surprises as to who wasn't picked by the NHL's newest team? I'll take a look at who was chosen at the top of the NHL Draft this past weekend with a theme of some family lineage tying into two of the teams that are impacted. Also, a huge singing in Colorado with their top defenseman, Cale Makar. Will this be the first domino to fall in order to bring back some of their own free agents (i.e. Gabriel Landeskog & Brandan Saad)? And the league did the Islanders ZERO favors when it comes to the schedule for this upcoming year. You won't want to miss that!

(1:05:29) NFL news and notes as training camps open throughout the league including, embattled Texan QB, Deshaun Watson on the trading block? Will some team take the plunge despite the baggage? An update on the Aaron Rodgers saga in Green Bay. A couple of signings in San Francisco and Pittsburgh. A disgruntled pass rusher in Arizona. A tough loss for the Rams with a key offensive player going down for the season. And a memo that spread throughout the league regarding COVID outbreaks within a team and how forfeits of games and loss of paychecks will take place because of players that are unvaccinated. Even a coach received a pink slip for refusing to get the vaccine. I'll be sure to dissect all of that.

(1:18:18) A brief update on the Summer Olympics. The USA Men's basketball team have lost their first game since 2004. Is this a sign of bad things to come? And a 13 year old became the second youngest to win a gold...in SKATEBOARDING!

(1:21:04) Of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(6:08) Baseball is the last sport standing as we've hit the Sports Dead Zone Pt. 2, with lots of rumors milling around with the Trade Deadline set for Saturday at 4pm. The Rays have fired the first salvo bringing in a bat (Nelson Cruz) as well as, trading P Rich Hill to the Mets. The Padres made a move for All-Star, Adam Frazier to secure their infield. I discuss other big time players that can be on the move (Trevor Story, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Max Scherzer, to name a few) and my take on the Yankees as they should sell, including stars, Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres and yes, Aaron Judge with my state of the Bombers this late in the season. I'll explain why. There are some key players coming back (White Sox OF, Eloy Jimenez) and some on the IL (Dodgers OF, Mookie Betts) There's also a new name for one of baseball's oldest teams. I'll update all of the latest pennant races with not too much drama in the AL & NL as of today.

(6:00) The Sports Dead Zone, Pt. 2 hasn’t arrived during this different sports year as the NBA is set to crown a champion tomorrow night possibly with the Milwaukee Bucks, flexing their experience, toughness and grit that they’ve accumulated over the past two plus postseasons and exhibited in Games 4 & 5 of the Finals. I’ll discuss the potential legacy games for both Giannis Antetekoumpo & Chris Paul as Game 6 looms. Do the Suns keep their season alive and push the series to a deciding Game 7? In other news, there is a new coach in Washington with a familiar name, the play in tournament will be back in 2021-22 and Kawhi Leonard’s secretive diagnosis has been revealed.

(29:16) MLB has one of the most bizarre weeks in recent memory. From Pete Alonso’s arrogance at the Home Run Derby, to a ho-hum All-Star Game, the Yankees, including Aaron Judge coming down with COVID, a wild weekend in Pittsburgh for the Mets with two major injuries to dissect, a shooting outside of Nationals Park and the Brewers take back the NL Central (well, sort of). I’ll go through the divisions as we’re just 12 days from the Trade Deadline.

(47:12) Collin Morikawa wins his second major tournament in 10 months by coming from behind to beat Louis Oosthuizen and Jordan Spieth to win the British Open at Sandwich Bay. At 24, how bright is his future? Also, how did the rest of the field fair? (i.e. Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, etc.)

(57:15) I have to apologize to #1 women’s tennis player and Wimbledon winner Ash Barty.

(58:12) The newest team in the NHL, the Seattle Kraken will have two drafts to look forward to this week as they’ll build their roster through the Expansion Draft (Wednesday) and the Entry Draft (Friday & Saturday). Will they become a similar version to the Vegas Golden Knights of four years ago? Plus, a big trade for Edmonton that could pay dividends to a young Connor McDavid and their franchise next year.

(1:04:57) No players have opted out (as of yet) of the upcoming season in the NFL as training camps open next week. And let’s add another story to the already legendary status of a one Thomas Edward Brady!

(1:07:32) The Olympics open up on Friday in the midst of COVID as it’s affecting Tokyo. Will anyone watch? Does anyone care?

(1:12:45) Of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:04) The NBA Finals are set as the Milwaukee Bucks will face the Phoenix Suns starting Tuesday. I’ll detail Chris Paul’s run to his first ever Finals appearance, his legacy to date. The health status and uncertainty of Giannis Antetekoumpo. The rise of Khris Middleton’s play, Jrue Holiday’s contribution. Will the viewing public get into this series? And other storylines heading into this unique championship round.

(31:58) The Tampa Bay Lightning are set to reclaim the Cup for a second straight year. Can they produce the first sweep in a Stanley Cup Final in 23 years? Will goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy come up with another series clinching shutout? Is the mayor of Tampa right, wrong or crazy for suggesting that Tampa lose so that they can win Game 5 at home?

(43:59) The Dodgers look to have their swagger back as they’re one of the hottest teams in baseball, but one of their teammates is in hot water as Trevor Bauer has been put on leave by MLB in light of an alleged sexual assault with a woman two months ago. Did the Dodgers handle this properly? What will MLB do throughout this process? And why this story doesn’t receive the attention that the NFL & NBA would if it happened in either of their leagues? Also, what has happened to the Yankees? I’ll dissect their week from hell as they lost a brutal game at home when they once led 7-0, the players only meeting, owner Hal Steinbrenner chiming in on their first half futility, Gerrit Cole’s lost grip? Aroldis Chapman’s ineptitude, Gleyber Torres regression, their rotation, lack of athleticism, even the two admission doubleheaders (which isn’t the Yankees fault) A commentary that you won’t want to miss. I’ll peruse through both the AL & NL as we’re a week away from the All-Star Break.

(1:14:42) Wimbledon is in its second week and it’s been a bit of a bore. The big story is who can stop Novak Djokovic as he looks to grab his third Grand Slam tournament of the calendar year? Is Roger Federer waiting in the wings? What about the women’s side of the bracket?

(1:21:20) A couple of quick notes in the NFL (i.e. Training Camp upcoming, Cowboys back on Hard Knocks and former wideout Demaryius Thomas’s retirement.)

(1:23:34) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:04) The NBA Finals are set as the Milwaukee Bucks will face the Phoenix Suns starting Tuesday. I’ll detail Chris Paul’s run to his first ever Finals appearance, his legacy to date. The health status and uncertainty of Giannis Antetekoumpo. The rise of Khris Middleton’s play, Jrue Holiday’s contribution. Will the viewing public get into this series? And other storylines heading into this unique championship round.

(6:45) The lead up and thrill of a Game 7, but in a loss, the pain and suffering that comes with it.

(9:22) Which brings me to the NY Islanders, who fell two goals short of making it to their first Stanley Cup Finals in 37 years. I’ll recap their final week in the postseason, what to expect this offseason, what they need to get over the hump and a BOLD prediction for next year’s team that you won’t want to miss. I’ll also get into the Montreal Canadiens unexpected run to a Cup Final and predict who’ll hoist Lord Stanley as champions of the NHL. There’s also a new coach for the newly minted Seattle Kraken as I’ll share my thoughts on that.

(31:31) Future Hall of Famer and Suns point guard, Chris Paul is one win away from reaching his first ever NBA Finals, but there may be something brewing with the Clippers as I have a gut that they have the Suns right where they want ‘em. I’ll deep dive as to the possibility of a Clipper Comeback that would be the cataclysmic event this woe be gone franchise needs to get themselves into the Finals. By chance, if the Clippers happen to push this series to a 7th game, what does this say about current coach, Ty Lue? What about Doc Rivers and his tenure as Clips coach? The Bucks have control of their series with the Hawks, but will they put the hammer down on a feisty Atlanta team that’ll come into Game 4 hurting as Trae Young is hobbled with an ankle injury? I’ll also get into the various coaching vacancies filled in Indiana, Boston, Dallas and Portland with some news on Luka Doncic’s alleged relationship with the Mavericks front office and Kristaps Porzingis. Does Damian Lillard want out of Portland now that Chauncey Billups is the head coach? Some interesting developments going on and I have it all covered.

(57:40) Week one of the crackdown with foreign substances in MLB is in the books. At the tail end of it, there was an ejection with the Mariners reliever, Hector Santiago being tossed for having resin in his glove. Was an ejection warranted? Should this have happened since the substance was legal? I’ll have that, the Yankees floundering, the Mets big week, the Giants could put some distance between them and the Dodgers and a top heavy NL & AL as we approach the halfway point of the regular season.

(1:13:19) A shocker at Wimbledon as one of the top men’s players is ousted at the All England Club. Which leads to the bigger question. Is Novak Djokovic’s quest to winning the third leg of the calendar Grand Slam a formality? Also, who’ll come out victorious on the women’s side? I’ll have a preview.

(1:20:36) A couple of notes regarding two offensive lineman in the NFL with one player going (David DeCastro released by the Steelers) and one player coming (Morgan Moses signs with the Jets).

(1:23:15) Not to mention, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:58) The demise of the top seeds in the East and West (Sixers & Jazz) and the Brooklyn experiment goes up in smoke. The aftermath of what went wrong for those teams, including thoughts on the regression of Sixers Ben Simmons. The collapse of the Jazz and the bitter defeat of the Nets. I’ll also have the ascension of the Clippers (making their first conference final trip), Hawks (the confidence of Trey Young) and Bucks. Also, what is the best possible NBA Finals matchup? There’s been a lot of off the court stuff regarding coaches (NO, WSH & DAL), division with the Mavericks? Suns GM 1 win vs. the Clippers. The Celtics coaching prospects and the trade that sent Kemba Walker to OKC for an old friend.

(46:05) The quest for the Stanley Cup Finals is getting closer. I’ll review both the Islanders-Lightning and Canadiens-Golden Knights series and what are the chances of the Islanders pulling off the upset of the defending Cup champs?

(1:00:38) The crackdown begins in the MLB in regards to pitchers being checked for doctoring baseballs. Will the umpires strictly enforce it? Plus, my thoughts on what baseball should do to change a couple of tweaks in 2020 now that we’re almost back to normal throughout the nation!

(1:16:04) A ruling came down that the US Supreme Court has unanimously decided that student/athletes can be compensated monetarily in Division 1 football and basketball. When will this commence? What will this mean for both sports outside of the field or court?

(1:19:53) A couple of notes from the NFL (i.e. Justin Fields backup plan in CHI, Derek Carr potentially quitting if traded from LV and Cole Beasley’s choice to not get vaccinated.)

(1:22:22) Jon Rahm comes from behind to win his first ever major golf tournament at the US Open over the weekend. I’ll recap that.

(1:26:54) An update on a couple of players who’ll not participate at Wimbledon later this month.

(5:39) The Stanley Cup Playoffs have moved onto the Final Four. The Islanders meet up with a familiar foe as the Tampa Bay Lightning are again, standing in their path to a Cup Final. What do they need to do in order to pull off the upset? I’ll also preview the Canadiens-Golden Knights series as it commences later this evening (Monday 6/14)

(26:15) Not a whole lot of drama in the NBA Playoffs (unless you’re the Brooklyn Nets), but first, the Suns punched their ticket to the Western Conference Finals as they sweep the MVP of the league (Nikola Jokic) and the disappointing Nuggets. I’ll discuss their meteoric rise, Chris Paul’s resurgence, as well as, Donovan Mitchell’s Jazz a couple of wins away from meeting CP3. Is Mitchell the greatest Jazz player ever? EVER?! Is it time to panic if you’re Steve Nash and the Nets? Will there be a James Harden sighting? Will Kyrie Irving return? Can Kevin Durant will his team to the next round? Also, the Sixers are in cruise control, a belated mention on the retirement of Duke’s Coach K and some rumors as to a candidate for the next coaching job of the Celtics.

(50:00) The MLB could be ready for some pitchers getting warned and ejected as the crackdown of pitchers using foreign substances may take place this week. I’ll get into Gerrit Cole’s admission (or lack thereof) on whether he uses something to doctor the ball. Pete Alonso’s factual theory of baseballs being juiced for players in their free agent walk year. Jacob deGrom’s brilliance on display, yet again! The Rays stay hot, the Angels in the AL West mix? The Brewers and Cubs trending north, while the Cards head south. The Giants standing pat in a crowded NL West bunch with the rival Padres and Dodgers.

(1:05:27) Some NFL news comes down the pike as to Deshaun Watson telling a former teammate where he wants to play, Jordan Love getting some major reps with Aaron Rodgers skipping mandatory OTA’s, former NY Giants coach, Jim Fassel passes away and the College Football Playoff devising a plan to extend the format to 12 teams? I have a different plan altogether.

(1:11:02) Novak Djokovic wins the French Open and is halfway to a calendar Grand Slam? Can he do it? Is he already the GOAT?

(1:19:42) On the heels of winning the PGA, Phil Mickelson will ride the momentum to the US Open to shoot for that elusive championship. I’ll preview who may be at the top of the leaderboard and the juicy storyline of the Bryson DeChambeau-Brooks Koepka rivalry.

(1:24:52) Some thoughts on the Denmark soccer player, Christian Eriksen, who collapsed during a Euro 2020 game this past week.

(1:26:02) Of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(1:19:42) On the heels of winning the PGA, Phil Mickelson will ride the momentum to the US Open to shoot for that elusive championship. I’ll preview who may be at the top of the leaderboard and the juicy storyline of the Bryson DeChambeau-Brooks Koepka rivalry.

(1:24:52) Some thoughts on the Denmark soccer player, Christian Eriksen, who collapsed during a Euro 2020 game this past week.

(1:26:02) Of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:03) The NBA is onto the second round, but the Clippers saved face as they come back and secure a home win to move on to play the Jazz. Could this be what the Clippers needed? What about the disappearing act of Mavericks forward, Kristaps Porzingis? The Knicks feel good season goes up in flames. LeBron James’s lack of sportsmanship. The Celtics face an overhaul? Who will be their next head coach? I’ll have some predictions out West in the Conference Semifinals.

(39:37) The NHL’s top story of the postseason has been the remarkable 180 of the Montreal Canadiens. From the brink of extinction to the brink of the Cup semifinals, I’ll unpack the week that was and the rest of the second round playoff series that’s making news throughout the league. Plus, who are the two best teams in the league at the moment? And the makings of a sexy Stanley Cup Final matchup?

(55:10) MLB has a serious issue on their hands. Pitchers are about to be called out for using foreign substances to gain an advantage for ‘spin rate’ throughout the league. Will this crackdown be strict? Lenient? The brilliance of Jacob deGrom and can the Yankees jump start their lineup?

(1:12:54) Julio Jones gets traded from Atlanta to Tennessee to add another layer to an already stacked conference.

(1:16:19) The French Open has come undone with injuries, player withdrawals, etc. Is there a silver lining that can save the tournament?

(1:21:13) A major player in golf contracts COVID while having a huge lead in a tournament over the weekend. The Bryson DeChambeau-Brooks Koepka rivalry is one to keep an eye on.

(1:23:52) The Belmont Stakes puts an end to a rather forgettable five weeks in horse racing.

(1:25:36) Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather. Is this actually a topic of discussion?

(5:51) Is it me or is it strange to see full houses in arenas throughout the NBA and NHL? What about the MLB, especially in the New York area? As we await word on the restrictions lifted for that sport. With that said…

(10:20) …The fan behavior in the NBA the past week has been atrocious in New York, Philadelphia & Boston. I’ll detail the buffoonery there. A dud of a first round in the NBA except for the two LA teams. Are the Lakers in trouble without Anthony Davis? Can the Clippers be trusted after evening the series with Dallas? Does Denver respond after the coach calls out his team for playing soft? The Knicks have been a major disappointment so far. The toughness of Chris Paul and the Suns and much more as the first round of the playoffs come to a close.

(34:45) If there was ever a must win, not for a team or organization, but for the city of Toronto, tonight is it! I’ll discuss what tonight’s Game 7 could mean, either way, for the playoff embattled Maple Leafs. Has the Penguins championship window closed? Does Edmonton need a wholesale change to their roster? The Avalanche look mighty strong, but is there a possible suspension on the horizon for Vegas winger, Ryan Reaves in last night’s loss at Colorado. (A NINE MINUTE POWER PLAY?) Thanks to some light shed by an old friend of the podcast (Headstyle from Minnesota. Episode #120) I’ll touch on why Reaves shouldn’t be suspended and how sports as a whole has changed and evolved over the years?

(57:21) MLB’s first point check of the season has the Tampa Bay Rays playing better than anyone in baseball at the moment. I’ll go through the contenders and pretenders in baseball, with a look at the latest Yankee woes. The Mets ‘cushion’ in the NL East despite tons of postponements. Can the Giants stay in the division race with the Dodgers & Padres? And the competitive AL East! Plus, some thoughts about Lou Gehrig Day on June 2nd, the wacky Javier Baez play in Pittsburgh and my over/unders to date.

(1:17:34) Julio Jones wants out of Atlanta. Is Seattle his next stop? I’ll explain why that’s not a marriage made in football heaven.

(1:20:45) The French Open is underway at Roland Garros. Why are Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer on the same side of the bracket? Also, Naomi Osaka will not partake in any media obligations throughout the tournament citing mental health issues. NOTE: At the completion of editing this podcast, Osaka withdrew from the tournament as she thought it was best not to be a distraction and to take time away from the court!

(1:26:36) A familiar face wins the Indianapolis 500 as Helio Castroneves wins his record tying fourth race in a close finish.

(1:29:06) An update and quote on the status and recovery of Tiger Woods.

(1:30:15) And, of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week!

(5:25) Phil Mickelson does the unthinkable by winning his first major in eight years to become the oldest player to win a major tournament. Were the elements at Kiawah Island to blame for some bad play by golf’s top players? What kind of momentum will Lefty have going into the US Open? The one title that’s missing from his mantle. And what happened with the crowd and security at the 18th hole during the final round?

(22:14) The NBA completed its first weekend of playoff games. I’ll look back on the play-in tournament. Why it’s time to shelve it? Now the league is flirting with a mid-season tournament? You know I have much to say about those two topics. I’ll recap the games from Saturday & Sunday, with a thought on the Lakers loss in Phoenix and Memphis’s early upset of Utah.

(41:00) The NHL is about to close their opening round series, while Colorado and Boston await the next round. Will the Capitals regroup this offseason? Or is it time to disband a team led by all time great, Alexander Ovechkin? Same for the Penguins, if they don’t make it out of this round vs. the Islanders? The Oilers falling flat on their faces thus far. The Maple Leafs rebound after losing their captain. Will Nashville extend Carolina to the limit? Many questions abound as things continue to heat up on the ice.

(55:09) Two more no-hitters in the MLB this past week. Why has there been SIX of them before Memorial Day? I have an interesting take as to what’s going on as baseball looks to find their way through this lackluster start. Plus, the Padres, Dodgers and Yankees are hot, with the Bombers winning eight consecutive series. Mike Trout’s injury, Pujols delivers for the other LA team, White Sox manager Tony La Russa mishandling of Yermin Mercedes and a thought on the late Pirate, Rennie Stennett, with an obscure record that must be mentioned.

(1:13:07) I also make a brief mention of an event that’s taking place this weekend, which was one that I remembered as a boy that kicked off the unofficial beginning of summer: The Indianapolis 500.

(5:00) The NBA playoffs are just about here, but first, the play-in tournament that’ll determine who’ll make it into the top-8 seeds in each conference. I’ll take a look at the four games (CHA-IND, WSH-BOS, MEM-SA, GS-LAL) and who’ll move forward to join the other six in the East & West. I’ll have all of the juicy storylines from the Sixers ‘process’, the Nets ‘win now’ moment. Are the Clippers mentally and spiritually ready to push their game to the next level? Do you believe in the Jazz & Suns, with lots more playoff talk to dissect. I’ll get into Alex Rodriguez teaming up to purchase the T’Wolves. The Hall of Fame Ceremony with induction to Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and the late, Kobe Bryant. As well as, next years class highlighted by Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, Ben Wallace and Chris Webber. Let the debate begin. Is C-Webb a Hall of Famer? I’ll tell you why he isn’t!

(40:00) The Stanley Cup Playoffs have begun. The storylines aren’t aplenty as they are in the NBA, but with the Penguins losing Game 1 in OT yesterday, is their psyche taking a huge hit for their recent playoff failures? Will the Lightning-Panthers series be as advertised? After one game, it sure is. I’ll preview the other series that haven’t gotten underway, border restrictions for the Canadian team that makes it to the Cup Semifinals and more housecleaning at Madison Square Garden as David Quinn was dismissed as coach. Was it fair?

(55:18) Has the first quarter of the MLB season been lackluster? I’ll dive into the latest headlines, including, the Jarred Kelenic era opening in Seattle over the weekend.

(1:05:30) I’ll share my thoughts on the NFL schedule. Brady vs. the Patriots on October 3rd. Who has the hardest schedule in the league? Some of the Sunday night/Monday night docket and Tim Tebow is NOT to blame for him being signed to play TE in Jacksonville. You won’t want to miss that.

(1:21:34) Medina Spirit doesn’t get the job done as he finishes third in the Preakness. Will there be any buzz at the Belmont Stakes in three weeks? Probably not, but I have two instances where that could change.

(1:24:30) I’ll preview the second golf major of the year as the PGA is on the horizon. Who will be the one player I’ll keep an eye on in a stacked field? Will Brooks Koepka regain his PGA winning ways? Also, my prediction as to who will win?

(1:28:01) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week!

The Hall of Fame Ceremony with induction to Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and the late, Kobe Bryant. As well as, next years class highlighted by Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, Ben Wallace and Chris Webber. Let the debate begin. Is C-Webb a Hall of Famer? I’ll tell you why he isn’t!

(40:00) The Stanley Cup Playoffs have begun. The storylines aren’t aplenty as they are in the NBA, but with the Penguins losing Game 1 in OT yesterday, is their psyche taking a huge hit for their recent playoff failures? Will the Lightning-Panthers series be as advertised? After one game, it sure is. I’ll preview the other series that haven’t gotten underway, border restrictions for the Canadian team that makes it to the Cup Semifinals and more housecleaning at Madison Square Garden as David Quinn was dismissed as coach. Was it fair?

(55:18) Has the first quarter of the MLB season been lackluster? I’ll dive into the latest headlines, including, the Jarred Kelenic era opening in Seattle over the weekend.

(1:05:30) I’ll share my thoughts on the NFL schedule. Brady vs. the Patriots on October 3rd. Who has the hardest schedule in the league? Some of the Sunday night/Monday night docket and Tim Tebow is NOT to blame for him being signed to play TE in Jacksonville. You won’t want to miss that.

(1:21:34) Medina Spirit doesn’t get the job done as he finishes third in the Preakness. Will there be any buzz at the Belmont Stakes in three weeks? Probably not, but I have two instances where that could change.

(1:24:30) I’ll preview the second golf major of the year as the PGA is on the horizon. Who will be the one player I’ll keep an eye on in a stacked field? Will Brooks Koepka regain his PGA winning ways? Also, my prediction as to who will win?

(1:28:01) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week!

(6:15) Is this the end for future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols? I’ll dissect the dominant first baseman’s career and will he latch onto another team? Also, have no-hitters become the norm? I have a theory that may explain why pitchers are besting hitters just six weeks into the season. Plus, the disastrous Dodgers and a topsy turvy week for the Mets (fired hitting coaches, Jacob deGrom’s injury and rats? Or raccoons?)

(30:40) The NBA heads into the final week of the regular season. Could it be that both the Lakers and Celtics are preparing to be in the play-in tournament? With a hobbled LeBron James, why I think the Lakers may not be long for the postseason? And the Celtics woes may have them OUT of the postseason before it really gets started. What about Coach Brad Stevens? Is he on the hot seat? I’ll share some thoughts on that, as well as, what to make of Russell Westbrook’s tying Oscar Robertson’s all time triple double record? Is it noteworthy? Or a complete afterthought?

(52:31) The NHL season has completed. Well, sort of. I’ll get into the latest as the league gets set for another postseason run to the Stanley Cup. is this the year for the Toronto Maple Leafs and their Cup starved fans? And the aftermath at the Garden where the Rangers not only release their VP of Hockey Operations and GM, but receive a hefty fine in the process and the players have to stick up for one another because of Capitals winger, Tom Wilson’s physical play and subsequent fight filled rematch two nights later.

(1:10:00) The NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday. I’ll predict who’ll play the Buccaneers on the Opening Thursday night of the new year AND when the highly anticipated meeting of Brady vs. Belichick in Foxborough this fall will take place? I’ll have the latest on the Aaron Rodgers saga in Green Bay (as he takes a page out of the NBA Player Empowerment Handbook)

(1:19:16) The Preakness and Horse Racing takes a tremendous hit as Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit, tests positive for an anti-inflammatory steroid. Will he be stripped of his victory? If not, what does this mean for the second leg of the Triple Crown come Saturday? Lots to unpack here as the details become dirty by the day.

(1:23:17) A thought on the biggest sporting event in terms of attendance over the weekend as Canelo Alvarez wins by TKO over Billy Joe Saunders.

(1:24:18) Lastly, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:55) All of the hype, predictions and draft fatigue of the NFL is finally behind us, well, not just quite yet, as I delve into all that happened over the three day event in Cleveland. Overshadowing that is the news of Aaron Rodgers wanting out of Green Bay. Is this something that we need to watch out for on a day in-day out basis? I have to trash the opening minutes of the Draft coverage as there were a few things I did not like, to say the least. I share my thoughts on why did Denver pass on a QB in the first round? Did Chicago learn its lesson from a few years back in drafting Mitchell Trubisky to move up and select Justin Fields? Is Trey Lance the answer in San Francisco? What about Mac Jones in New England? Najee Harris? Rashod Bateman in Baltimore? I’ll have it all covered, including, is Richard Sherman and a reunion with the Seahawks forthcoming?

(38:47) The Philadelphia Phillies had a week to remember! Or forget? I’ll chronicle the past five days for the ballclub. The potential Royal Rumble of the NL East in 2021. The Dodgers are flailing and the Yankees are rebounding? And a familiar foe visits the Bronx this week in what should be a raucous setting.

(50:00) LeBron James is back in the lineup, but the Lakers are sliding quickly in the West. He has a few words about the play-in tournament as his team hovers near the seven seed in the conference. I have a few things to say about that as well. Are the Bucks making a push for the two seed in the East? A possible one seed? I’ll recap the latest playoff scenarios as we’re two weeks away from the seasons conclusion.

(1:02:45) The NHL joins forces with TNT as they did with ESPN a couple of weeks prior. What does this mean for visibility throughout the country? Also, the possible border issue between the US and Canada during the postseason? I have the easy fix. Are the Penguins peaking at the right time as they attempt to make one last run for Lord’s Stanley Cup? The Maple Leafs expectations for a long awaited Cup run this spring. And a new team is officially introduced to the NHL landscape as the Kraken of Seattle are in the fold.

(1:13:45) A Kentucky Derby recap as Medina Spirit wins the Run for the Roses by a half length. Does this bode well for a second victory at the Preakness in less than two weeks?

(1:19:14) Last but not least, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:57) I jumpstart the pod with news and notes throughout the NBA. Break up the Knicks!!! I’ll get into their ascendance in the East, should Julius Randle be in consideration for the MVP? A possible second round matchup vs. Brooklyn? Speaking of the Nets, Kevin Durant made his return yesterday as they sit atop the Eastern Conference with three weeks to go in the regular season. Will they hold serve? I’ll also discuss the struggling Lakers as we await on LeBron James’s arrival back into the lineup.

(34:04) I’ll take a trip around the ice as the hunt for the NHL postseason is heating up. I’ll check in on the Islanders recent trip up against Washington and the Central Division remains tight as Carolina, Florida and Tampa Bay battle for first place.

(43:09) The Padres-Dodgers series provided more thrills than the first series in San Diego the week before. I’ll breakdown how payback was issued by the Pads, the managing of Dave Roberts, plus other news throughout the MLB, including, Gerrit Cole vs Shane Bieber, the brilliance of Jacob deGrom and the union & league are speaking on a new CBA?

(57:55) The NFL Draft is days away. I’ll dissect what looks like a predictable start for the first few picks and who the Steelers should draft with their selection in the first round? CORRECTION: Aaron Rodgers was part of the 2005 Draft, not 2015 as I mentioned! Tom Brady thinks the quality of football could take a hit this fall?

(1:05:39) An increase in the playoff format for college football could be forthcoming? I’ll share my take on what the NCAA should do.

(1:07:36) I’ll preview the favorites of the Kentucky Derby as the first leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown is back where it belongs. Will there be a huge turnout, considering COVID protocols and restrictions?

(5:24) The polar opposites of what we’ve seen so far from the LA Dodgers (13-3, best record in the majors) and the NY Yankees (5-10, worst record in the American League) I’ll break down both teams to date and take a trip throughout the leagues and discuss AJ Hinch’s return to Houston, Carlos Rodon’s no-hitter, Shane Bieber’s historic start and an injury update on Ronald Acuna, Jr.

(30:08) The NBA concluded a very interesting week detailing Philadelphia overtaking the Brooklyn in the East. Analysis of the Nets title chances as players are consistently in and out of the lineup, the importance of Kevin Durant’s health and his presence on the floor, Coach Steve Nash’s and GM Sean Marks impact on the team while exhibiting some integrity to a veteran laden group. i’ll get into the key loss for Denver as Jamal Murray is done for the season. The close call from Donovan Mitchell as they’re still atop the West. Luka Doncic/Mark Cuban’s comments regarding the play-in tournament. Are they wrong? Newly minted part owner of the Jazz, Dwyane Wade and how his influence and pedigree could help come the postseason? Steph Curry is the Warriors all-time scorer in team history, And the potential outcome in Minneapolis as the jury deliberation will begin in the Derek Chauvin case. What does this mean for the world of sports? For society? I have a message to the sports fan that they may not want to hear, but is dripping with truth.

(56:21) The NHL will celebrate a moment that many never thought would happen. Sharks winger, Patrick Marleau will become the all time leader in games played at 1,768. I’ll compare this to other players of the past generation to show how much of an achievement this is for the game and the league overall. Also, the Canucks have played their first game in over three weeks due to players contracting the coronavirus. Will they try to squeeze in their full schedule over the next month? And some big games in the Central and Eastern Division this week as first place is up for grabs.

(1:05:24) Julian Edelman rides off into the sunset as he retires from the New England Patriots. Is the Pro Football Hall of Fame the next stop of his ‘football life’? Why I say it is NOT, as well as, is Justin Fields’s stock slipping among the top QB’s on the draft board as Round 1 of the NFL Draft is next Thursday?

(1:15:46) Of course, I’ll have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

On deck: (5:24) The polar opposites of what we’ve seen so far from the LA Dodgers (13-3, best record in the majors) and the NY...
(5:24) The polar opposites of what we’ve seen so far from the LA Dodgers (13-3, best record in the majors) and the NY Yankees (5-10, worst record in the American League) I’ll break down both teams to date and take a trip throughout the leagues and discuss AJ Hinch’s return to Houston, Carlos Rodon’s no-hitter, Shane Bieber’s historic start and an injury update on Ronald Acuna, Jr.

(30:08) The NBA concluded a very interesting week detailing Philadelphia overtaking the Brooklyn in the East. Analysis of the Nets title chances as players are consistently in and out of the lineup, the importance of Kevin Durant’s health and his presence on the floor, Coach Steve Nash’s and GM Sean Marks impact on the team while exhibiting some integrity to a veteran laden group. i’ll get into the key loss for Denver as Jamal Murray is done for the season. The close call from Donovan Mitchell as they’re still atop the West. Luka Doncic/Mark Cuban’s comments regarding the play-in tournament. Are they wrong? Newly minted part owner of the Jazz, Dwyane Wade and how his influence and pedigree could help come the postseason? Steph Curry is the Warriors all-time scorer in team history, And the potential outcome in Minneapolis as the jury deliberation will begin in the Derek Chauvin case. What does this mean for the world of sports? For society? I have a message to the sports fan that they may not want to hear, but is dripping with truth.

(56:21) The NHL will celebrate a moment that many never thought would happen. Sharks winger, Patrick Marleau will become the all time leader in games played at 1,768. I’ll compare this to other players of the past generation to show how much of an achievement this is for the game and the league overall. Also, the Canucks have played their first game in over three weeks due to players contracting the coronavirus. Will they try to squeeze in their full schedule over the next month? And some big games in the Central and Eastern Division this week as first place is up for grabs.

(1:05:24) Julian Edelman rides off into the sunset as he retires from the New England Patriots. Is the Pro Football Hall of Fame the next stop of his ‘football life’? Why I say it is NOT, as well as, is Justin Fields’s stock slipping among the top QB’s on the draft board as Round 1 of the NFL Draft is next Thursday?

(1:15:46) Of course, I’ll have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(5:07) A rather ho-hum Masters golf tournament became historic as Hideki Matsuyama is the first Japanese man to win a major! I’ll get into specifics on the weekend overall. Huge names not making the cut (i.e. Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy to name a couple). Players coming out of the woodwork (i.e. Will Zalatoris and Marc Leishman) and others trying to make a run at the top of the leaderboard (i.e. Xander Schauffele and Jordan Spieth). Even Bryson DeChambeau wasn’t a threat throughout the weekend as I recap all that went down in Augusta.

(22:21) The MLB season is about 11 days old (seven if you’re a Met fan like myself) and there’s already a few things to gripe about. From the lack of run support AGAIN for ace Jacob deGrom, to the controversial opening day win with Michael Conforto sticking his elbow out for a walk off hit by pitch RBI, to why did they Mets play when it was raining while foiling Marcus Stroman’s start. UGH! You know I have lots to say on this. Also, the Yankees pitching woes, the missed call at home plate which cost the Braves a possible win against the Phillies and an NCAA Division I women’s softball player makes history.

(38:32) The NBA is starting to heat up a little bit on the court as the Suns take care of the Jazz at home last week. Only to follow up with a tough loss against the Clippers the next night. The story there that’s building is a budding rivalry as tensions flare and some comments were made by Clipper forward, Paul George. I’ll get into that, as well as, an update on the return of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, Kyrie Irving is out of the lineup for personal reasons AGAIN and A-Rod to become a minority owner of the T-Wolves?

(51:37) The trade deadline has come and gone in the NHL and the Eastern Conference has done most of the damage. The Islanders make a big trade to acquire two former New Jersey Devils, but the biggest trade may be the final piece in the puzzle for the team with the longest Stanley Cup drought north of the border. I’ll delve into the deals that may impact the division races as we head into the homestretch of the regular season.

(1:01:12) The Jets send Sam Darnold packing to Carolina. Why did they get so little in return? Why were they enamored with potential pick in BYU QB, Zack Wilson? Plus, the real reason why they jettisoned the former Jet QB. And the ongoing saga of Deshaun Watson as accusation pile up against him. Will he play this year? Is a suspension from the league looming? A thought as to why Watson wanted out of Houston? I’ll have all of that…

(1:10:15) …and my Hero and Zero of the Week!

(5:25) Highlighting the instant classic between UCLA vs. Gonzaga in the semifinals. What this victory means as they set their sights on an undefeated season against the second ranked team in the nation? With a win, are Gonzaga considered an all-time great team? As great as this game was, it actually could’ve been just a touch better. I’ll explain.

(31:31) The NBA has a couple of developing playoff stories to keep an eye on. In the East, how the 4-8 seeds (in particular, 4-6) are imperative for avoiding Brooklyn or Philadelphia in the first round? Out West, why the Lakers positioned in the 4-5 or 6 seed means trouble for the Nuggets or Clippers? Also, the one thing that almost stopped the Jazz on their magical regular season to date?

(45:51) Some storylines to highlight the first weekend of the MLB season, including the move by the league to remove the All-Star Game in Atlanta come July? Was it the right move? What about The Masters and the Atlanta Hawks? Will we see something similar in the days to come?

(59:30) The Vancouver Canucks are now dealing with the fallout of COVID, north of the border for the first time this season. Will they regroup to make a push to the final seed in the Western Division? I’ll also discuss the hotly contested Central and Eastern Divisions as the competition is stiff as to who’ll come out on top once the playoffs begin.

(1:07:51) Why all of the hype and oversaturated news coming out of these pro days as the NFL is three and a half weeks away from the Draft? I’ll assess this nonsense and why are fans caught up in this? And the WFT (Washington Football Team) will keep their current title for the team? REALLY?

(1:14:43) The tradition unlike any other is back. The Masters starts on Thursday. I’ll have a preview and prediction as to who’ll win. Plus, Brooks Koepka may make the first tee after knee surgery just a few weeks ago?

(1:20:25) Not to mention, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(30:59) The MLB season is on the horizon! I’ll go through all of the divisions, my six over/under win total predictions, as well as, who’ll play in the Fall Classic and win! Plus, a preview of my beloved Mets! What’s the teams biggest weakness? Can they contend in the NL East?

(1:04:00) The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone, but two free agents made the biggest noise as LaMarcus Aldridge goes to Brooklyn and Andre Drummond signs with the Lakers. Are they on a collision course to meet in the Finals?

(1:13:42) The NFL Draft is a month from today and some big trade news at the top of the draft took place. The Dolphins were wheeling and dealing with the 49ers and Eagles as they have plenty of draft capital in the first three rounds of the draft. How will the top six picks play out? Will the Jets draft a QB? What about the Niners? Also, the NFL will expand their regular season schedule to 17 games. Why I DESPISE the move? And news on Steelers WR Chase Claypool’s parking lot scuffle two weeks ago? Will there be repercussions?

(1:31:17) NHL referee Tim Peel gets his ‘early retirement’ papers after his assessment of a penalty was picked up on his microphone. Did the NHL do the right thing by terminating him for life?

(1:34:53) Francis Ngannou is your new MMA heavyweight champion. Is a bout with famed fighter, Jon Jones, up next?

(1:36:10) Oscar de la Hoya is attempting to make a comeback? Seriously? I’ll add my two shiny red cents on that.

SPOTIFY TRAILER: 6237cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/jayreelz1/cinderella-upsets-highlight-the-madness-
(4:41) The first three days of March Madness has been just that! A different year is affecting the ‘feel’ of the tournament to date, including major upsets by Loyola Chicago and Oral Roberts. Can the lower seeds continue to hang and beat the top seeds in the bracket? The impact of the sport as it’s taking shape earlier than normal. I’ll also have a postmortem on my beloved Georgetown Hoyas, who lost to Colorado on Saturday as they’re out of contention.

(34:34) How will the West shape up after the Lakers lose LeBron James to a high ankle sprain indefinitely? The Celtics team meeting as there’s ‘still time left’. Coach Brad Stevens squashing rumors he’s returning back to coach in college. LaMelo Ball’s injury may force him out for the rest of the year. Who’s next to become a possible Rookie of the Year?

(45:49) The Patriots are the free agent winners of March as they’ve made significant moves to bolster their roster. I’ll get into that, as well as, DeSean Jackson’s impact for the Rams (with a ginormous IF!) An overhaul in the desert for the Cardinals. Trent Williams record breaking payday. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s loyalty in Pittsburgh. The Deshaun Watson saga takes an ugly turn with a seedy lawyer at the forefront of this. What Watson should do (but won’t) to quiet the masses? And NFL content reigns supreme as the league and ESPN sign for an 11 year marriage, which includes more playoff games and in the rotation to broadcast the Super Bowl.

(1:03:20) An NHL recap discusses the loss of Islanders captain Anders Lee. A hobbled Evgeni Malkin. The Bruins dealing with COVID. What’s going to happen with their schedule as a couple of games have been cancelled?

(1:11:26) Opening Day is 10 days away as the Met fan sweats to see if SS Francisco Lindor signs on the dotted line before the first game, as he states he will become a free agent if he doesn’t sign before the start of the season. Should the Mets re-sign him now?

(1:20:33) Some golf news as we’re two and a half weeks away from The Masters commencing at Augusta. Will Brooks Koepka be at the first tee come April 8th? Also, a thought on when Tiger Woods MIGHT come back and play at a golf course, near or not so near, you.

The weather (in the Northeast) has been gorgeous as we’re off to a good start. Let me do the same as there is lots to cover in the world of sports. Episode #186 is ready for your earbuds or speakers. On deck: (4:41) The first...
(4:41) The first three days of March Madness has been just that! A different year is affecting the ‘feel’ of the tournament to date, including major upsets by Loyola Chicago and Oral Roberts. Can the lower seeds continue to hang and beat the top seeds in the bracket? The impact of the sport as it’s taking shape earlier than normal. I’ll also have a postmortem on my beloved Georgetown Hoyas, who lost to Colorado on Saturday as they’re out of contention.

(34:34) How will the West shape up after the Lakers lose LeBron James to a high ankle sprain indefinitely? The Celtics team meeting as there’s ‘still time left’. Coach Brad Stevens squashing rumors he’s returning back to coach in college. LaMelo Ball’s injury may force him out for the rest of the year. Who’s next to become a possible Rookie of the Year?

(45:49) The Patriots are the free agent winners of March as they’ve made significant moves to bolster their roster. I’ll get into that, as well as, DeSean Jackson’s impact for the Rams (with a ginormous IF!) An overhaul in the desert for the Cardinals. Trent Williams record breaking payday. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s loyalty in Pittsburgh. The Deshaun Watson saga takes an ugly turn with a seedy lawyer at the forefront of this. What Watson should do (but won’t) to quiet the masses? And NFL content reigns supreme as the league and ESPN sign for an 11 year marriage, which includes more playoff games and in the rotation to broadcast the Super Bowl.

(1:03:20) An NHL recap discusses the loss of Islanders captain Anders Lee. A hobbled Evgeni Malkin. The Bruins dealing with COVID. What’s going to happen with their schedule as a couple of games have been cancelled? Mika Zibanejad’s record night, coupled with Artemi Panerin’s reinstatement and the Avalanche bring in a backup goalie with ZERO wins this year?

(1:11:26) Opening Day is 10 days away as the Met fan sweats to see if SS Francisco Lindor signs on the dotted line before the first game, as he states he will become a free agent if he doesn’t sign before the start of the season. Should the Mets re-sign him now?

(1:20:33) Some golf news as we’re two and a half weeks away from The Masters commencing at Augusta. Will Brooks Koepka be at the first tee come April 8th? Also, a thought on when Tiger Woods MIGHT come back and play at a golf course, near or not so near, you.

(4:35) The horizon of clearing the Sports Dead Zone is drawing near as spring, the NCAA Tournament and the baseball season are about to commence in the days and weeks to come.

(6:56) Speaking of the Tournament, I’ll cover the top storylines heading into March Madness (The NCAA barely cross the Conference Championship finish line. Is Gonzaga ready to make history? Can the Fighting Illini continue their torrid run? Will COVID affect the tournament at some point?), are some of the topics I’ll discuss. I’ll breakdown the four regions, which teams will make it to the Final Four and who’ll cut down the nets as a champion!

(41:21) The NBA has been a bit quiet this past week. Other than what team will Spurs F LaMarcus Aldridge get traded to and an injury to Sixers C Joel Embiid, there isn’t much cooking throughout the Association. I will bring you up to speed on both the East & West and where we are in the standings in each conference.

(49:22) The NHL and ESPN are ready for their second ‘marriage’. What does this mean to the future of a sports that’s in purgatory with the casual fan? I’ll dive into that, as well as, the Islanders playing their best hockey with the Carolina Hurricanes not too far behind. Will there be any drama as there’s some separation in the race between the top and bottom teams in all four divisions?

(1:03:45) The MLB season is two and a half weeks away, but nothing much is happening in the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues. Although Stephen Strasburg is nursing an injury and the Mets celebrating a World Series in MARCH???

(1:05:46) NFL free agency is two days away. The Buccaneers are re-tooling as they’ve re-signed their QB (Tom Brady), their star linebackers (Lavonte David and Shaq Barrett) and have franchised one of their top wideouts (Chris Godwin). I’ll share my thoughts on the retirement of Saints QB, Drew Brees. He’s an all time great, but is he a top 10 quarterback of all time? Also, Dak Prescott gets his deal at four years and 160 million dollars, but after a gruesome ankle injury is he worth that much? Cam Newton re-ups in New England for one year at 14 million. I ask, why???

(1:18:50) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week that you won’t want to miss!!!

Joining me on the podcast for the third time is Gerald Brown from SiriusXM NBA Radio as we delve into the storylines of the first half of the season, what to expect in the second half, who has the chance to make a good run to the playoffs, among other questions and topics surrounding the next 36 games. We also discuss his podcast endeavor with a couple of former NBA players on Let’s Get Technical, the days at our old internet radio station (BlogTalkRadio) and much more.

I conclude the podcast with a thought on the anniversary of COVID’s impact on the world of sports.

(4:56) The NBA All-Star Game has come and gone. It’ll be a rather swift recap as there are other important things to discuss. Such as, the officiating and the interminable final two minutes of close ball games to start. I’ll also talk about the Blake Griffin signing to Brooklyn. Will he be a contributor to their rise in the East? The Joel Embiid/Ben Simmons COVID watch. James Harden’s return to Houston and Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta’s declaration of retiring Harden’s #13 with the franchise. (????) Utah’s respect factor in the West. An uprising in Phoenix and much more!

(33:01) Is a clash between Gonzaga and Baylor for the national title a foregone conclusion? Why I think Gonzaga needs to lose before the tournament? Michigan takes a slip and fall. Illinois shines in Big 10. Ohio State plummets. So does West Virginia. I’ll have an up to the minute review in college basketball as we enter Conference Championship Week as we’re just days away from Selection Sunday.

(42:38) The Washington Capitals, Tom Wilson draws a suspension for slamming Bruins D, Brandon Carlo into the boards. I have a logical and simple reason (although the league will NEVER let it happen) as to curtailing hits like that and why the NHL needs to enforce it? The retirement of Blackhawks D, Brent Seabrook. The Flames hire another coach as the coaching carousel continues in Calgary. The untimely death of Mark Pavelich.

(56:42) All is quiet in the MLB, but there are a few things to highlight. Shohei Ohtani’s progress as a starting pitcher. Trevor Bauer’s ‘one eyed’ perfect inning. Will that spark the Padres? Indians’ Jose Ramirez and Franmil Reyes COVID trials. The Mickey Callaway saga continues. Aaron Boone’s recovery. And why Lou Gehrig Day is what the MLB needs to connect with their history and the fans?

(1:08:17) The NFL will open for their business year next Wednesday. with JJ Watt leading the way to Arizona. Plus, Alex Smith’s candid comments on his departure from Washington.

(1:11:42) Bryson Dechambeau wins the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Will he pick up momentum as The Masters are a month away.

(1:12:53) Today marks the Golden Anniversary of arguably, the greatest sports night/event in the history of sports. Revisiting Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier at Madison Square Garden and the impact it had during that time and still resonates today.

CBS Sports Technical Director Lauren Correa-Sikoryak shares a lot of insight on what it takes behind the scenes during an NFL Sunday, but she also dives into what it took to get her foot in the door in regards to the TV industry, working with legendary sports talk show host, Mike Francesa, getting the opportunity to showcase her talent in the NFL for the Giants and Jets, then making her way to CBS to work on some of the biggest stages that sports has to offer, including the NCAA Tournament/Final Four and the Super Bowl. It’s an in-depth look behind the curtain that most sports fans rarely, if ever see. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation from start to finish as you will hear Lauren’s excitement, personality and passion come right through your speakers or earbuds.

CBS Sports Technical Director Lauren Correa-Sikoryak shares a lot of insight on what it takes behind the scenes during an NFL Sunday, but she also dives into what it took to get her foot in the door in regards to the TV industry, working with legendary sports talk show host, Mike Francesa, getting the opportunity to showcase her talent in the NFL for the Giants and Jets, then making her way to CBS to work on some of the biggest stages that sports has to offer, including the NCAA Tournament/Final Four and the Super Bowl. It’s an in-depth look behind the curtain that most sports fans rarely, if ever see. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation from start to finish as you will hear Lauren’s excitement, personality and passion come right through your speakers or earbuds.

(4:54) Today marks the third anniversary of the podcast as I share some thoughts about it’s beginning, how it’s evolved, where it’s going and thanking most of all, you, the listener as we kickstart year number four!

(11:20) The NBA is about to head into the All-Star Weekend in Atlanta, but not without covering a few topics such as: Kyrie’s idea about what the new NBA logo should be. The Raptors dealing with COVID. Victor Oladipo’s market and future contract? Teams that are trending north in a competitive East. Same for the West. Will I watch the All-Star festivities come Sunday night?

(30:03) Baylor suffers its first loss of the college basketball season. Is this a blessing or a curse? What about Gonzaga as the last undefeated team in the nation? Is there a loss in their future? Plus, the rest of the college ball landscape as we’re getting closer to March Madness.

(38:38) With a condensed schedule featuring a ton of familiarity, has the NHL become tired with what seems to be the same matchups night after night? Is anyone watching? Why the NHL needs an Original Six team in the Finals for anyone to care? Also, the Artemi Panarin situation with the Rangers is one to keep an eye on moving forward!

(53:01) Tiger Woods is on the mend after a horrific car accident left the golf legend with severe leg injuries. What does his recovery look like? And will he make a return to the game at some point down the road?

(58:52) The MLB exhibition season has begun as there isn’t much to discuss, but there are some storylines that I’ll shed light on Albert Pujols retiring after this year? Miguel Cabrera’s quest for 500 HR’s & 3,000 hits. Is there anyone in the league now that can reach those milestones in the future? Shohei Ohtani flashing that power right arm. Domingo German’s mea culpa and quest to get back in the Yankees’ good graces.

(1:07:05) The ongoing saga of rumors surrounding Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson and if they’ll be moved this offseason. I have quite a bit to say about both guys that you won’t want to miss.

(1:12:17) And of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Former two time All American at the University of Minnesota and 11 year NFL veteran (of the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers) safety Tyrone Carter joins me as he shares his deepest thoughts on a new transition of power in our nation, his biggest influence on his path to the NFL, the motivation for choosing the U. of Minn over another Big 10 school, the disappointment of losing the NFC Championship Game as a Viking in his rookie season to the New York Giants, the reason behind what went wrong in Minnesota, playing for the Steelers winning two Super Bowls, the difference between Coach Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin, the ferocity of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, his viewpoint about the NFL, his health in relation to concussions, what he’s up to today and so much more! We cover all of that and then some during this almost 90 minute exchanged that will have you not only entertained, but you’ll learn quite a bit about the league, how professional franchises are run, the power of family and most of all, the man himself! I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did. It was an honor and pleasure connecting with this two time champion!

(4:57) The Brooklyn Nets have finally come together as they're playing their best basketball this season. Is this team primed to take over the East? Are they Finals bound? No Anthony Davis means no repeat title for the Lakers? Draymond Green's comments about players being held out for a possible trade/buyout? A challenge for the young Spurs as they deal with postponement of games due to COVID. LeBron James crosses another milestone. The Jazz continues it's dominant run. The Pelicans undergo two historic (one good, one bad) turnarounds in a 48 hour span. And the Celtics can’t get out of their own way as they’re mired in mediocrity.

(30:37) The NHL may be coming out on the other side of the coronavirus as the numbers are going down with players catching the virus, but the league cannot get a break as the Outdoor Games in Lake Tahoe over the weekend, didn’t live up to expectations due to Mother Nature. I’ll get into what went wrong, as well as, take a trip around the ice with the latest news.

(44:17) The Carson Wentz era is over in Philadelphia. I’ll share my thoughts on who benefits from this trade with the Colts and did Eagles ownership do the right thing in jettisoning their former #2 overall pick in 2016? Also, the sad and unfortunate death of former WR, Vincent Jackson.

(54:29) MLB camps are officially in swing as all players have reported to their respective teams. The big news out of last week is the signing of Padres SS Fernando Tatis Jr. and his blockbuster 340 million dollar deal. I’ll explain why the Padres were irresponsible in locking the budding superstar to not just an enormous amount of money, but the years that were given to him as well.

(1:06:41) We’re less than three weeks away from Selection Sunday in College Basketball. I’ll bring you up to speed on what’s going on in the college circuit, including Michigan’s outstanding road win at Ohio State.

(1:11:17) The Australian Open was ho-hum as the expected champions on both sides (Naomi Osaka and Novak Djokovic) did not disappoint. I’ll recap the first Grand Slam in Tennis and is Serena Williams ready to call it a career?

(4:10) With the NFL in our rearview mirror, the time has come for the first part of this years, Sports Dead Zone! I’ll explain.

(6:46) With pitchers and catchers reporting this weekend, baseball is in the air! I’ll discuss the astronomical Mets record projected by Baseball Prospectus, the rules heading into this year (no universal DH) Yadier Molina, Justin Turner and James Paxton round out the MLB rundown.

(17:23) The Association has a lot cooking. Including key injuries to Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant. How those injuries impact their team, for the short and long term of the season. Kyrie Irving’s ‘new’ point guard. James Harden’s weak apology to Houston. The Celtics are sinking. Is Andre Drummond the answer for their ills? Mark Cuban’s anthem blunder. Was it brought upon himself? Are the Suns to be taken seriously? Can the Jazz translate their success deep into the postseason?

(39:35) Why has the NHL bombed in handling their league when it comes to COVID? A commentary comparing them to the NBA that is inexplicable, yet plausible. The increase of physical play throughout the league excites yours truly, but with a bit of a caveat.

(52:00) Tom Brady’s Super Bowl celebration, Russell Wilson wants more protection and counsel when it comes to personnel, The Pouncey brothers retire. What does this mean for Ben Roethlisberger’s future? JJ Watt is a free agent. Is Pittsburgh a destination? Urban Meyer’s coaching hire fizzles and the latest with Richard Sherman.

(1:05:20) A quick trip around the college basketball landscape.

(1:06:33) An update from down under at the Australian Open.

(1:09:35) Kamaru Usman’s historic, yet bittersweet achievement highlights the MMA segment.

(1:12:33) An overall disastrous day for racing as the Daytona 500 had plenty of crashes, delays and a conclusion well after midnight.

(17:23) The Association has a lot cooking. Including key injuries to Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant. How those injuries impact their team, for the short and long term of the season. Kyrie Irving’s ‘new’ point guard. James Harden’s weak apology to Houston. The Celtics are sinking. Is Andre Drummond the answer for their ills? Mark Cuban’s anthem blunder. Was it brought upon himself? Are the Suns to be taken seriously? Can the Jazz translate their success deep into the postseason?

(39:35) Why has the NHL bombed in handling their league when it comes to COVID? A commentary comparing them to the NBA that is inexplicable, yet plausible. The increase of physical play throughout the league excites yours truly, but with a bit of a caveat.

(52:00) Tom Brady’s Super Bowl celebration, Russell Wilson wants more protection and counsel when it comes to personnel, The Pouncey brothers retire. What does this mean for Ben Roethlisberger’s future? JJ Watt is a free agent. Is Pittsburgh a destination? Urban Meyer’s coaching hire fizzles and the latest with Richard Sherman.

(1:05:20) A quick trip around the college basketball landscape.

(1:06:33) An update from down under at the Australian Open.

(1:09:35) Kamaru Usman’s historic, yet bittersweet achievement highlights the MMA segment.

(1:12:33) An overall disastrous day for racing as the Daytona 500 had plenty of crashes, delays and a conclusion well after midnight.

(1:17:15) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(4:03) The matchup we anticipated fell way short as Tampa Bay suffocated the Kansas City offense as Tom Brady wins yet another Super Bowl. I’ll ask the question, was this game all about the Buccaneers defense? Or how bad the offensive line was for the Chiefs? I’ll get into how this loss ties into the legacies of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes? Is Tom Brady the GOAT as in best NFL player ever? The pre-game, halftime show and commercials as we put to bed the NFL season of 2020. I’ll also discuss the newest members of the football Hall of Fame, NFL awards, Carson Wentz wants out of Philadelphia? Jared Goff’s departure from LA. And an update on Deshaun Watson being traded from Houston.

(37:25) The Trevor Bauer sweepstakes goes to the LA Dodgers as they sign the free agent pitcher to a three year, 102 million dollar deal. Was this a soft landing for him? What about his prospects signing with the Mets? I have an interesting take on this and other baseball news, including the untimely death of Pedro Gomez, Dustin Pedroia’s retirement and more.

(44:15) The NBA has had a quiet week, but I’ll touch on the comments by De’Aaron Fox and LeBron James surrounding the upcoming All Star Game next month. Are the Utah Jazz to be taken seriously in the West?

(50:44) The top teams in the nation that are affected by the coronavirus in college basketball. Will these games be made up?

(53:19) Same for the NHL as more teams have to sit out due to the pandemic.

(56:14) Who are the favorites to win the first tennis major of the year at the Australian Open?

(59:27) I spend a moment discussing former boxer, Leon Spinks, as he passed away over the weekend.

(3:59) Countdown to Super Bowl LV has begun, with a lead up into the big game. I’ll explain Tampa’s real shot to win based on only one theme. The Deshaun Watson standoff continues. Who is new Coach David Culley? Why not Eric Bieniemy? If I’m the Jets, why I WOULDN’T trade for Watson? The Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff deal. Wait! What? How many #1 picks is Stafford worth? The second retirement of Jason Witten. And what’s next for Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh?

(35:00) Both the NBA & NHL have a quandary when it comes to rescheduling postponed games on their schedule? What are the plans for both leagues to make up these games? I’ll take a look around the Association, including Lakers-Celtics, Nets-Wizards and more.

(3:28) The main themes of the AFC/NFC Title Games are coach Matt Lafleur’s awful decision to kick a field goal as opposed to going for a potential tie. Brady’s magic carries him to a record 10th Super Bowl. The Bills not ready for primetime and business as usual for the Chiefs. I’ll go in-depth on both games, the storylines for Super Bowl LV, Tony Romo’s honeymoon is long over. CBS gets their Super Bowl matchup wish! Also, the latest on Deshaun Watson in Houston. Eric Bieniemy’s head coaching opportunity, what’s left of Matthew Stafford? Is Philip Rivers a Hall of Famer? Lots to dissect as the NFL season comes down to its final game.

(54:20) The NBA season is a month in as I’ll discuss the surprises and disappointments so far. Why I agree with Shaquille O’Neal regarding his comments directed at Jazz guard, Donovan Mitchell? And the Clippers psyche when it really matters are among the topics I’ll touch on.

(1:05:14) An update on college basketball as Michigan will be suspended athletics due to a new coronavirus strain. Kansas loses three straight games for the first time in eight years and the latest on former powerhouses Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky.

(1:08:55) Remembering the life of the immortal Henry Aaron and Don Sutton. There’s been some hot stove activity as I’ll express my thoughts on George Springer going to Toronto, the Yankees bolstering their starting rotation and why the Mets not getting Brad Hand for their bullpen didn’t have me up in arms?

(1:21:41) The NHL dealing with COVID as the Hurricanes and Capitals deal with not either playing or having their big stars (i.e. Alex Ovechkin) in the lineup for the next week or so.

(1:25:34) Conor McGregor loses in his return to the Octagon. What lies ahead for the embattled fighter? And why did he retire in the first place?

(3:11) The Packers take care of business. The Bills swarm Lamar Jackson. The Chiefs escape, but not without losing star QB, Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady is back in another Championship game setting. I’ll preview Conference Championship Sunday with some burning questions that need to be answered. Is this the end for Drew Brees? Will Urban Meyer cut it in Jacksonville? Has Deshaun Watson played his last game in Houston?

(45:03) Are the 2020 Alabama Crimson Tide the best college football team ever? I have a team that’s just ahead of them in my book. I’ll explain.

(47:49) The many layers of the James Harden trade to Brooklyn. His behavior and subsequent exit from Houston? Did the Nets sell their souls to NBA hell? Where and how does Kyrie Irving fit in? Is Harden clutch enough in the postseason? I’ll share a few other newsworthy notes throughout the Association as well.

(1:03:46) I’ll spend a second on how former Georgetown guard Mac McClung has made an impact at his new school with Texas Tech?

(1:04:17) The NHL season is five days old and the Dallas Stars have yet to play a game because of the coronavirus! Also, the two game series schedule could either bolster the league (i.e. think rivalries) or bottom out (playing the same teams over and over)?

(1:06:39) The MLB Hot Stove has been predominantly cool, but there were a couple of big signings, especially in the Bronx with DJ LaMahieu and two time Cy Young award winner, Corey Kluber. I’ll share my thoughts on that.

(1:09:57) Guess who’s back? After a brief retirement, Conor McGregor is scheduled to fight on Saturday vs. Dustin Poirier. Does anyone care?

(1:03:46) I’ll spend a second on how former Georgetown guard Mac McClung has made an impact at his new school with Texas Tech?

(1:04:17) The NHL season is five days old and the Dallas Stars have yet to play a game because of the coronavirus! Also, the two game series schedule could either bolster the league (i.e. think rivalries) or bottom out (playing the same teams over and over)?

(1:06:39) The MLB Hot Stove has been predominantly cool, but there were a couple of big signings, especially in the Bronx with DJ LaMahieu and two time Cy Young award winner, Corey Kluber. I’ll share my thoughts on that.

(1:09:57) Guess who’s back? After a brief retirement, Conor McGregor is scheduled to fight on Saturday vs. Dustin Poirier. Does anyone care?

(1:11:52) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:23) Not the wildest of Wild Card weekends that the NFL was hoping for, but tons to delve into on the Colts unable to capitalize in Buffalo, the Rams ‘D’ thwart Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, Washington QB Taylor Heinecke upstages the Buccaneers victory. The Ravens get some payback, the Saints were slow, yet methodical in the second half vs. the Bears (also Nickolodeon, NFL? Really?) And the debacle in Pittsburgh as they dug themselves a big hole that they couldn’t get out of vs. the Browns.

Plus, my Divisional Round preview with predictions, coaching news and Deshaun Watson’s frustration in Houston.

(1:02:51) The NBA confronting with coronavirus running through the league. Is there a possible pause to the season forthcoming? The Clippers latest collapse and LaMelo Ball’s record setting achievement.

(1:08:24) Breaking down the NCAA’s decision to keep the entire March Madness tournament in the state of Indiana.

(1:10:25) An NHL season begins on Wednesday with news on the realigned divisions being sponsored. A retirement from a Stanley Cup winning goaltender and a thought of who I feel will be in the Stanley Cup Final?

(1:17:15) The Mets trade for star infielder, Francisco Lindor. Does that make the Mets Series contenders? Is he the final piece to the puzzle?

(3:23) The NFL crosses the regular season finish line, with kudos going out to Roger Goodell and company for completing the season in the world of the coronavirus. I’ll touch on everything from the AFC Wild Card games being superior to the NFC. Week 17 winners & losers, Black Monday for NFL head coaches, storylines heading into Wild Card weekend, with a word on both the Chiefs and Packers. A preview of the six Wild Card matchups with predictions and much more.

(47:36) I’ll recap the College Football playoff semifinal as, quite frankly, there was nothing to write home about as Alabama dispose of Notre Dame and Ohio St. dismantles Clemson. I’ll take an early look at the National Title Game to be played next Monday evening.

(55:44) Time to start the clock on pitchers & catchers reporting to Spring Training, but the MLB Hot Stove is still as cold as a January day. What gives? Although the Padres continue to bolster their rotation by bringing in Yu Darvish. Are they thisclose to competing with the Dodgers in the NL West? As for the Mets, I’ll have to bring the fan base off of the ledge as there’s good reason why owner, Steve Cohen, has laid low during the free agency period.

(1:02:58) The NBA for the most part has been quiet. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving didn’t come through in the clutch, Steph Curry is in familiar form and Paul George is hearing a ‘lot of chirping’ from his breathren throughout the league. I’ll get into all of that.

(1:06:07) Kentucky finally wins an NCAA basketball game. In double OT, with their Coach John Calipari ejected!

(1:07:17) The NHL season raises its curtain next week as a couple of their big stars (Chicago’s Jonathan Toews and new Washington Capitals D, Zdeno Chara) are discussed in regards to their health and new surroundings, respectively.

(6:10) My Week 16 winners and losers, highlighted by the Dolphins surprise win in Vegas. Jacksonville winning despite another loss. The Washington Football Team have given the Cowboys and Giants life for one more week. Indianapolis’s collapse in Pittsburgh (with some insight on the Steelers comeback) and all of the up to the minute playoff races in the AFC & NFC.

(40:21) A College Football Playoff Preview. Will Alabama lose? Can Notre Dame pull off a huge upset? Will we see a carbon copy of Clemson-Ohio State semifinal from a year ago?

(48:25) The Rays have a proposed trade of their one time ace, Blake Snell, to be shipped to San Diego for prospects. Despite their resourcefulness, why this isn’t a move Rays fans should like? Also, have the Mets engaged in a tug-of-war with the Yankees for DJ LaMahieu? My thoughts on why the Mets SHOULD NOT go after him.

(57:09) The first five days of the NBA season are in the books. I’ll discuss a ho-hum Christmas schedule and what in the hell happened to the Clippers at home on Sunday, losing to the Mavericks by 51 POINTS?

(1:02:00) Some news and notes on Villanova coach, Jay Wright. Kentucky’s losing streak at six and Florida forward, Keyontae Johnson’s health.

(3:17) The winners and losers of Week 15 in the NFL. How are the Jets both a winner and loser simultaneously? The Cowboys are back in the NFC Least hunt. A ‘Chief’ concern as they defend their title? Is the Carson Wentz era done in Philadelphia? Those are a few of the many storylines that I tackle during this segment.

(42:00) A recap of the big three college football games over the weekend (Florida-Alabama, Clemson-Notre Dame and Ohio St.- Northwestern) Is Alabama unbeatable?

(57:17) The NBA season commences tomorrow. I’ll delve into the juicy storylines, including the competitive East and the top heavy West. A preview of the Celtics season. No NBA over/under win predictions? But I will tell you who’ll win the NBA Finals (and it’s not the Lakers!)

(1:15:26) Another top team in college basketball (#4 Michigan St) goes down. What’s going on with the Kentucky Wildcats? Also, why this upcoming March Madness (fingers crossed) will be the most wide open to date? And I have another wild prediction as to what kind of team will make it to the Final Four next year!

(1:19:13) The NHL season will begin next month. Divisions have been realigned in light of the coronavirus. Does it all make sense? A Canadian ‘North’ Division?

(1:23:42) All is quiet on the MLB Hot Stove front, but there is a little buzz on DJ LeMahieu’s standing with the New York Yankees. The Negro Leagues get their due with the MLB. Acknowledgement? It’s about time. But combining their stats with the major leagues? Hmmmm!

On deck: (3:17) The winners and losers of Week 15 in the NFL. How are the Jets both a winner and loser...
(3:17) The winners and losers of Week 15 in the NFL. How are the Jets both a winner and loser simultaneously? The Cowboys are back in the NFC Least hunt. A ‘Chief’ concern as they defend their title? Is the Carson Wentz era done in Philadelphia? Those are a few of the many storylines that I tackle during this segment.

(42:00) A recap of the big three college football games over the weekend (Florida-Alabama, Clemson-Notre Dame and Ohio St.- Northwestern) Is Alabama unbeatable?

(57:17) The NBA season commences tomorrow. I’ll delve into the juicy storylines, including the competitive East and the top heavy West. A preview of the Celtics season. No NBA over/under win predictions? But I will tell you who’ll win the NBA Finals (and it’s not the Lakers!)

(1:15:26) Another top team in college basketball (#4 Michigan St) goes down. What’s going on with the Kentucky Wildcats? Also, why this upcoming March Madness (fingers crossed) will be the most wide open to date? And I have another wild prediction as to what kind of team will make it to the Final Four next year!

(1:19:13) The NHL season will begin next month. Divisions have been realigned in light of the coronavirus. Does it all make sense? A Canadian ‘North’ Division?

(1:23:42) All is quiet on the MLB Hot Stove front, but there is a little buzz on DJ LeMahieu’s standing with the New York Yankees. The Negro Leagues get their due with the MLB. Acknowledgement? It’s about time. But combining their stats with the major leagues? Hmmmm!

(1:26:45) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:11) The NFL playoff chase is starting to come into place as many teams have moved up (or down) the ladder when it comes to seeding in the AFC & NFC. I’ll discuss the winners and losers of Week 14, including the Steelers underwhelming performance in Buffalo. The Washington Football Team controlling their destiny. Green Bay and Kansas City sitting pretty at the top of their respective conferences. Will the Jets go 0-16? And a look ahead to Week 15.

(33:26) LSU highlights this past weekend in college football. One good (upsetting Florida). One bad (a self imposed ban for playing in a bowl game this year. REALLY?) With conference championship weekend upcoming, how will it play out when it comes to who’ll represent the awesome foursome for the college football playoff?

(41:20) The NBA preseason has begun. I’ll juggle storylines from four players that made news this past week. Kyrie Irving (avoiding the media), Kevin Durant (plays in a game for the first time in 18 months), James Harden (wants out of Houston) and Paul George (signs for the max with the Clippers) as we’re eight days away from real games being played.

(49:40) On the college basketball front, Coach K wants the powers that be to reassess the landscape of the sport in light of cancellations and postponements throughout the early part of this season. Is he right?

(53:31) The MLB Hot Stove hasn’t heated up, although the Mets have made some news with the signing of a catcher and a new GM. Did they make the right move for James McCann instead of J.T. Realmuto? Also, who I’d like to see the Amazins’ pursue as we wait for free agency to heat up. And the Indians are going to have a makeover? Why this is good for the Cleveland baseball team (not so much for the fans of that region) NOTE: It’s been reported that the Indians will carry the nickname for the 2021 season as they look to rebrand beyond next year.

(2:47) The NFC ‘Least’, a log jam at the middle of the AFC and atop of the NFC are the themes that kick off Week 11 with winners and losers. Taysom Hill’s performance ahead of Jameis Winston, an umimpressive 7-3 Cleveland Browns team and will the Jets win before the Steelers lose and vice versa?

(34:27) Indiana was up for the challenge, but they’re not in the class of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Will they be heard from again this year? What about their future? Cincinnati wins against UCF to keep them in the playoff hunt. Dabo Swinney had something to say about Florida State postponing their matchup over the weekend. Was he out of bounds for calling them out? I have a comment that may surprise you (especially if you’re a regular listener to the podcast)

(46:45) The NBA had an eventful week with the Draft (maybe, not that eventful) and free agency (very eventful) as I dissect are the Suns for real now that they’ve traded for Chris Paul? The unfortunate injury to Klay Thompson. The plethora of free agent signings, including, Gordon Hayward to Charlotte. What does that mean for the Celtics moving forward? What is Anthony Davis waiting for to re-sign with the Lakers? And the Raptors will now be ‘We The South’ as they’ll play their home games in Tampa?

(1:04:28) The NHLPA were ‘blindsided’ by the owners as they try to change their proposal on the CBA back in July? Who’s to blame?

(1:08:45) It’s looking like a long, cold, hard winter for MLB free agents as they look to get paid before the start of next year. I’ll explain why owners aren’t just worried about the coronavirus impacting their business? There’s another factor looming that could make this an offseason to remember…or forget!

(3:39) NFL teams falling back to the pack (Tennessee, Baltimore & Seattle) while others are trending north (Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami) highlights Week 10 along with my winners and losers.

(30:01) A quiet college football weekend leads us to a huge game in the Big Ten this coming week with #10 Indiana going to #3 Ohio State. Can the Hoosiers hang with the Buckeyes?

(33:28) Dustin Johnson secures his second major golf tournament, storming through Augusta as he wins a historic Masters. Is he the best golfer of this generation? Why did nine golfers shoot 10 under? The struggles of Bryson Dechambeau. Tiger Woods futile attempt to get close to the top of the leaderboard and more.

(46:32) It’s a big week in the NBA as the Draft is Wednesday and free agency on Friday? Who will be at the top of the draft board? Also, who are the best free agents for teams to sign? What’s the latest with CP3 on the move? (NOTE: This was recorded prior to the trade that will send him to Phoenix for Ricky Rubio, Kelly Oubre, Jr. among others) My three reasons why the Nets should NOT trade for James Harden? And is Russell Westbrook out the door behind Harden?

(59:17) The NHL mulling a possible realignment for the upcoming season in the world of COVID-19.

(1:00:58) Does anyone care about the awards that MLB handed out last week? Why Alex Cora was a no-brainer for the Red Sox to rehire? Is Tony LaRussa is some trouble as manager after a report of a DUI in February was brought to light?

(3:39) NFL teams falling back to the pack (Tennessee, Baltimore & Seattle) while others are trending north (Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami) highlights Week 10 along with my winners and losers.

(30:01) A quiet college football weekend leads us to a huge game in the Big Ten this coming week with #10 Indiana going to #3 Ohio State. Can the Hoosiers hang with the Buckeyes?

(33:28) Dustin Johnson secures his second major golf tournament, storming through Augusta as he wins a historic Masters. Is he the best golfer of this generation? Why did nine golfers shoot 10 under? The struggles of Bryson Dechambeau. Tiger Woods futile attempt to get close to the top of the leaderboard and more.

(46:32) It’s a big week in the NBA as the Draft is Wednesday and free agency on Friday? Who will be at the top of the draft board? Also, who are the best free agents for teams to sign? What’s the latest with CP3 on the move? (NOTE: This was recorded prior to the trade that will send him to Phoenix for Ricky Rubio, Kelly Oubre, Jr. among others) My three reasons why the Nets should NOT trade for James Harden? And is Russell Westbrook out the door behind Harden?

(59:17) The NHL mulling a possible realignment for the upcoming season in the world of COVID-19.

(1:00:58) Does anyone care about the awards that MLB handed out last week? Why Alex Cora was a no-brainer for the Red Sox to rehire? Is Tony LaRussa is some trouble as manager after a report of a DUI in February was brought to light?

(1:06:47) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:21) The NFL has reached the halfway point. One thing is certain. The regular season freight train will not be stopped even if COVID-19 has a say in this!

(9:58) Highlighting the winners and losers of Week 9, including: Can you trust the Bills? Defining the ‘trap game’. The Steelers squeak by, yet again! Bill Belichick ‘sold out’ for Super Bowls! A competitive NFC. A top heavy AFC, with a look ahead to Week 10.

(43:52) A new #1 in college football as Notre Dame knocks off Clemson from their perch. Why I can’t stand the OT rule? Florida blitzes Georgia. Michigan goes down again! And USC’s wild comeback over Arizona State.

(54:44) A preview of the Masters with a weather forecast that looks grim. Will they get the tournament in by Sunday? What about Daylight Savings Time? Is Bryson Dechambeau primed to win another major? Will Rickie Fowler or Lee Westwood come to the forefront and win their first Grand Slam?

(59:12) New Mets owner, Steve Cohen cleans house. Who could be the next GM? Manager? What his M.O. will be with the team? I’ll share my thoughts on the possibilities!

(1:05:04) The start of the NBA season has been set. But with the draft, free agency and training camp on the horizon, will that be enough time before the December 22nd commencement?

(1:08:48) A couple of thoughts on the news of President-elect, Joe Biden and what that meant to the spirit of our nation?

(2:45) A competitive and wild NFL Week 8, highlighted by the winners and losers of Sunday. Are the Patriots done? Are you sold on the Bills? Should the Cowboys play in primetime? The aftermath of the best rivalry in football (Steelers-Ravens) A look ahead to Week 9 and what to expect as the trade deadline looms tomorrow?

(40:04) What a week for the Clemson Tigers! Not only was standout QB asked about his plans of entering the draft, but he also came down with COVID-19. I’ll share why he NEEDS to become a Jet (if they end up picking #1 overall) and with him out of the lineup vs. #4 Notre Dame, are the Tigers chances to make it the college football playoff in jeopardy? Also, is this the end of Jim Harbaugh at Michigan after another painful loss to Michigan State?

(54:45) I’ll spend a few minutes on Game 6 of the World Series, including, Justin Turner’s decision to join his teammates on the field to celebrate their title, as well as, managerial hirings in Chicago (White Sox) and Detroit. Steve Cohen officially is the Mets owner. And some big names on the baseball free agent market.

(1:06:17) I’ll take a brief trip through the NBA landscape as the league takes another financial hit with a late start to their season. A new GM lands in Philadelphia. Will this cause a potential discord between Daryl Morey and Doc Rivers? And Mike D’Antoni will assist head coach, Steve Nash in Brooklyn. What does this mean for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving?

(2:37) I set up the podcast with a sports dilemma on the horizon that NO ONE has mentioned or brought up on TV, radio or other form of digital entertainment. I’ll explain later.

(3:39) I’ll recap the first five games of the World Series as the Dodgers are one win away from that elusive championship. I’ll get into various strategies by the managers AND analytics that’ll make you pull your hair out of your head. The euphoric, classic Game 4. Max Muncy’s nerve and preview a recipe for the Tampa Bay Rays to push it to a Game 7.

(25:29) The signing of Antonio Brown in Tampa Bay. What to possibly expect? The Ravens trade for a pass rushing lineman. All of the Week 7 winners and losers throughout the NFL, highlighting the Steelers rise, the Patriots fall, another putrid schedule in Week 8 and much more.

(49:24) The Big Ten enters the college football landscape and there’s already been a huge upset. I’ll discuss that, review a ho-hum Saturday and next week doesn’t look any better from a schedule perspective (except for Ohio State vs. Penn State)

(55:26) The NBA will decide later this week if a 72 game season starting before Christmas is feasible. What are the obstacles? Possibilities? Advantages? Disadvantages? I’ll share my thoughts on all of the above with analysis of coaching hires in New Orleans and Indiana. Also, is Gordon Hayward being shipped out of Boston?

(1:04:17) I close out with what I started at the top. How will we deal with the next two months (AT LEAST) with watching only ONE sport! A commentary that you won’t want to miss.

(35:38) The winners and losers of NFL Week 6 with tons of inexplicable two-point conversions abound, another ho-hum schedule and Steeler dominance vs. Cleveland. But a key loss on defense and an upcoming road schedule will be their toughest test heading into Week 7.

(59:43) College football is front and center as the Georgia Bulldogs can’t get over the hump vs. their nemesis in the Alabama Crimson Tide. I’ll breakdown the key games over the weekend and introduce the Big Ten schedule which will be introduced to the nation this upcoming weekend.

(1:07:48) Some NBA news regarding the new coach of the LA Clippers (Tyronn Lue), the exit of Rocket GM Daryl Morey and which direction should the Pelicans go to search for a new coach?

(1:13:32) Two notable signings in the NHL as Alex Pietrangelo has found a home (no, not St. Louis) and a grizzled veteran entering his 23rd year in the league (Joe Thornton), heads to Toronto on a one year deal.

(1:16:43) Allow me to partake on some history as the youngest lightweight with four different belts (Teofimo Lopez) was victorious Saturday night in a win over Vasiliy Lomachenko. Who’s next to defend his titles?

(2:37) The Clippers are on the verge of a monumental collapse. Will they have what it takes to pull it out and make their first ever trip to the Conference Finals? Who’s to blame? The Lakers continue to dominate. The Heat are well rested, getting ready to prepare for a battle tested but weary Celtics team in the Eastern Conference Finals. I’ll preview that series. Also, will Giannis Antetekoumpo sign the supermax and stay in Milwaukee this off-season? And two coaching changes with teams ousted from the bubble in OKC and Houston.

(26:21) The NHL has had an underwhelming postseason to date with close out games expected for Dallas and Tampa Bay as they’re both one win away from going to the Stanley Cup Finals. I’ll map out why this has been a poor Stanley Cup Playoff and the game that the Islanders will ponder during the off-season that will have them kicking themselves in the rear end.

(35:29) I’ll recap Week 1 in the NFL with the winners (ARZ, GB & WSH) and losers (TB, DAL, CLE).

(50:37) I have a word on College Football as a couple of the major conferences kicked off their season.

(52:18) We’re getting into the homestretch of the MLB season. I’ll keep you abreast of the big series this week. Who has the inside track on securing a spot in the postseason and who’s on the outs?

(1:03:48) The US Open tennis tournament concluded in historic fashion as Dominic Thiem rallies from two sets down to win the mens championship. Was it a comeback for the ages? Or a complete choke job on his opponent, Alexander Zverev. On the womens side, Naomi Osaka wins her second US Open title in three years, defeating Victoria Azarenka in three sets.

(1:08:30) As the US Open tennis concludes, I’ll preview the US Open Golf which starts on Thursday. There are a couple of key performers who’ll be out at Winged Foot, but the field is stacked as the second leg of this truncated golf season is up next.

(1:12:20) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(2:37) The Clippers are on the verge of a monumental collapse. Will they have what it takes to pull it out and make their first ever trip to the Conference Finals? Who’s to blame? The Lakers continue to dominate. The Heat are well rested, getting ready to prepare for a battle tested but weary Celtics team in the Eastern Conference Finals. I’ll preview that series. Also, will Giannis Antetekoumpo sign the supermax and stay in Milwaukee this off-season? And two coaching changes with teams ousted from the bubble in OKC and Houston.

(26:21) The NHL has had an underwhelming postseason to date with close out games expected for Dallas and Tampa Bay as they’re both one win away from going to the Stanley Cup Finals. I’ll map out why this has been a poor Stanley Cup Playoff and the game that the Islanders will ponder during the off-season that will have them kicking themselves in the rear end.

(35:29) I’ll recap Week 1 in the NFL with the winners (ARZ, GB & WSH) and losers (TB, DAL, CLE).

(3:22) The surprising Islanders advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. How did they do it? What about their next opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning? I’ll have plenty of thoughts on this, a prediction and look at what’s happening in the Western Conference.

(25:23) The NBA playoffs are in the second round and the Bucks have been a major story as they survive a sweep at the hands of the Miami Heat. I have an assessment on how to unlock reigning MVP, Giannis Antetekoumpo’s next ‘cheat code’ to take his game to the next level. Also, is this it for coach Mike Budenholzer? Will Kemba Walker step up in this series? What about Russell Westbrook? Rajon Rondo? All of the playoff breakdown from the bubble and will Steve Nash be able to mesh with his new team in Brooklyn?

(43:38) I’ll remember the lives of two great Hall of Famers who have passed in MLB (Tom Seaver & Lou Brock). I’ll discuss the state of the Yankees as they’ve taken a bit of a freefall here in early September, as well as, a lay of the land throughout baseball as we’re three weeks away from the end of the regular season.

(1:01:22) Are you ready for some football? The NFL begins in three days. I’ll review the over/under win totals, go through some of the personnel moves throughout the league as we embark on another season.

(1:11:32) Novak Djokovic’s shocking exit from the US Open as he was disqualified after striking a line judge with the ball. Will the mens champion become an asterisk when it’s all said and done?

(1:15:29) The Kentucky Derby ran on Saturday with an upset over the heavily favored, Tiz The Law. Why this Run for the Roses didn’t get much fanfare and what does it mean for next years race?

(3:09) I’m in a testy mood as I share a roller coaster Sunday with my beloved sports teams.

(4:43) I recap the NBA walkout from Wednesday, led by the Milwaukee Bucks, its impact and why it was only a message and not a statement. NOTE: Check my Instagram page (@thejayreelzpodcast) for a fifteen minute video dissecting the 48 hours after the Bucks decided not to play, with lots of in-depth analysis and instant reaction to what took place in the NBA bubble.

(14:32) A lack of drama and suspense is the theme for the NBA’s first round of the playoffs, but the possibility of a future rivalry (or two) could come out of it. I touch on the Heat-Bucks Conference Semifinal and do the Celtics have what it takes to go deep into the Eastern Conference postseason?

(22:53) Pretty much the same deal in the NHL as all teams are one win away from facing each other in the Conference Finals. The resurging Lightning, the upstart Islanders, the surprising Stars and the odds on favorite Golden Knights are thisclose from moving on.

(29:37) The Padres have become the darling of this years trade deadline as they’ve made some key moves to ensure a trip to October. Are there any other big trades forthcoming? I have to take a look at my beloved Mets as the last couple of days have been brutal, their GM a step above that, but there is some hope for a brighter future ahead. I’ll take a look at the standings as we’re on the eve of September pennant baseball commencing tomorrow.

(48:59) The NFL season is ten days away. There’s a theme that I haven’t heard or read about which is critical to the first few weeks of the upcoming campaign. You won’t want to miss that. Also, the Jaguars complete their teardown and the reconstruction begins!

(55:00) The US Open tennis tournament has arrived. Is there anyone that can beat Novak Djokovic? Who can threaten Naomi Osaka? Can Serena get back to the Grand Slam mountaintop? I’ll preview what the next two weeks will possibly look like as the second Slam of the year is here.

(58:26) Sadly, there are a few tragic and untimely passings to report as former NBA player, Cliff Robinson, famed Georgetown Hoya coach, John Thompson and actor who portrayed Jackie Robinson on screen, Chadwick Boseman have left us.

(2:35) A programming note as I make light to some possible audio distractions throughout this podcast.

(3:16) Covering these topics as the NBA playoffs first round is coming to a near close:

The Jazz’s commanding lead, Luka Doncic’s heroics, a Celtics-Raptors second round preview, the future of the 76ers and the Nets, the Timberwolves winning the draft lottery (and hope the for the Knick fan?) and the Masai Ujiri incident at Golden State after the Raptors won the championship.

(30:24) Not a lot of excitement as the NHL heads into the Conference Semifinals. On deck:

The Golden Knights goaltender controversy regarding G Marc Andre Fleury, the travesty of the NHL today opposed to 30+ years ago, and Islanders-Flyers second round preview. (A reverse jinx in store?) Mike Milbury’s comments which led to his dismissal at NBCSN.

(46:13) The halfway point of the MLB season. The wild and wacky NL East. The Mets affected by COVID and changes to their pitching rotation. Can the Cardinals make the postseason by playing less than 50 games? Zooming through the baseball landscape in both the American & National Leagues.

(57:09) Earl Thomas gets the boot in Baltimore. Is he still effective? Is he worth the risk? Coach Ron Rivera’s cancer admission. Commish Roger Goodell apologizing for Colin Kaepernick AGAIN? The 77 COVID tests that were false positives.

(1:02:59) Golfer Dustin Johnson wins another tournament (his 22nd over the last fifteen years) With only one major victory under his belt, is he the best golfer of this generation?

(1:06:41) My Hero and Zero of the Week.

Get ready to chew on the following: (2:35) A programming note as I make light to some possible audio distractions throughout this...
(2:35) A programming note as I make light to some possible audio distractions throughout this podcast.

(3:16) Covering these topics as the NBA playoffs first round is coming to a near close:

The Jazz’s commanding lead, Luka Doncic’s heroics, a Celtics-Raptors second round preview, the future of the 76ers and the Nets, the Timberwolves winning the draft lottery (and hope the for the Knick fan?) and the Masai Ujiri incident at Golden State after the Raptors won the championship.

(30:24) Not a lot of excitement as the NHL heads into the Conference Semifinals. On deck:

The Golden Knights goaltender controversy regarding G Marc Andre Fleury, the travesty of the NHL today opposed to 30+ years ago, and Islanders-Flyers second round preview. (A reverse jinx in store?) Mike Milbury’s comments which led to his dismissal at NBCSN.

(46:13) The halfway point of the MLB season. The wild and wacky NL East. The Mets affected by COVID and changes to their pitching rotation. Can the Cardinals make the postseason by playing less than 50 games? Zooming through the baseball landscape in both the American & National Leagues.

(57:09) Earl Thomas gets the boot in Baltimore. Is he still effective? Is he worth the risk? Coach Ron Rivera’s cancer admission. Commish Roger Goodell apologizing for Colin Kaepernick AGAIN? The 77 COVID tests that were false positives.

(1:02:59) Golfer Dustin Johnson wins another tournament (his 22nd over the last fifteen years) With only one major victory under his belt, is he the best golfer of this generation?

(1:06:41) My Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:18) Recapping the trail blazed by Damian Lillard as the bubble MVP will go against the mighty Lakers! Is there an upset in the making? Will the clock strike twelve for Portland? I’ll break down that series and all of the first round matchups, including the disrespect of the Raptors? And the Celtics title hopes hinge on a couple of veterans. Also, the firing of Pelicans’ coach, Alvin Gentry and Kings GM, Vlade Divac.

(31:25) Dissecting the decision made by Boston Bruins goalie, Tuukka Rask, to forego the rest of the postseason due to COVID-19. The Islanders are experiencing a deja vu of the first round, yet again. I’ll explain. I’ll review what the conference quarterfinals look like to date and the Rangers win the draft lottery??? Ugh! I have plenty to say about that.

(45:39) The Reds are the latest team to be affected by COVID-19. What does this mean now that this is the SECOND NL Central team to be impacted by the virus? Some key injuries with division leaders, in particular, the Yankees who won’t skip a beat. But can a bubble work in the postseason for the MLB? It could be a tall order, but I’ll go in-depth as to why it can work. And a brief rant on the Mets on their lost weekend in Philadelphia.

(1:01:56) The unlikely return of QB Alex Smith. Two of the leagues best tight ends sign enormous contracts, but Jerry Jones highlights the NFL segment as his silence has spoken volumes over the last three plus months. i’ll detail why he needs to speak up and not hold back for an owner whose never met a camera or microphone he didn’t like.

(1:06:47) How a QB from the Big Ten is using his voice and support to reinstate the conference in playing football this fall? It’s a mighty task that will be tough to overcome EVEN if the top coaches in the Big Ten (i.e. Jim Harbaugh, Ryan Day and Kirk Ferentz) were to speak up!

(4:14) Have you, the fans/listeners, embraced the return of sports after a four and a half month layoff?

(8:08) Taking a plunge into the MLB to chat about the hottest team in baseball (Oakland A’s). Are they the best team in baseball? I’ll also discuss the Marlins back in action, the Cardinals missing in action, the Braves lose a major piece to their rotation, Albert Pujols on the cusp of catching a legend, the wondrous Fernando Tatis, Jr. and I don’t want to hear talk about a .400 hitter just yet.

(25:30) The NBA will conclude their re-start regular season this week. Are the Lakers in peril? Zion & the Pelicans fall short of the postseason, the resurgence of Portland and the Phoenix Suns? Is a Luka-Giannis rivalry in our future? And why does it seem that Kawhi Leonard’s knees are never healthy?

(39:37) The NHL Qualifying Round is complete. (Sorry, Maple Leaf fans) It’s onto the Conference Quarterfinals. I’ll preview ‘Round 2’, what to watch for and make some predictions along the way.

(47:09) The PGA ended in thrilling style, but first, some words exchanged between Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy over Dustin Johnson’s lack of major titles on the tour. The main story is Collin Morikawa’s stunning win at the age of 23 in only his second major event. I’ll get into what took place and how did Tiger Woods fare in his quest to get to that elusive 16th major title.

(52:36) I’ll touch briefly on the NFL opt-out scenario and health status of two QB’s in the league.

(54:19) Despite some of college football’s best players wanting to opt IN on the upcoming season, the powers that be in the Power Five conferences are thinking that there may not be a season after all. I’ll explain in great detail as to why I agree with people who run those conferences as opposed to the players.

(1:00:52) An update on a couple of key players opting out of the US Open Tennis Tournament at the end of the month.

(2:35) Not in the best of (sports) moods, so I have to hold myself accountable to a declaration on a previous podcast (Episode 103) that the Yankees will win the World Series in 2020. I’ll explain. Is an MLB shutdown on the horizon as more COVID cased pop up in baseball? Joe Kelly’s suspension and a Met rant unlike any other (20:50) as I undress this organization from the top (ownership & general manager) right down to the bottom (Yoenis Cespedes sudden exit from the team) It’s one you certainly WON’T want to miss!

(35:48) The NBA re-start has come to some good reviews, but is it too early to tell how these teams will fare in the long run? Why the New Orleans Pelicans are going about this minutes restriction with prized rookie Zion Williamson the wrong way?

(42:17) The NHL drops the puck as the postseason is underway. I’ll get into Minnesota D Matt Dumba’s stirring speech about the current state of racial tension and injustice. The #12 seeds in each conference get a leg up on upsets as the Blackhawks and Canadiens strike first blood. Also, the return of Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist and was the hit on Jets star Mark Scheifele intentional?

(50:02) More players in the NFL are opting out, but the deadline to declare is this coming week? Is that fair? And what will it take to REALLY shake up the NFL as far as player opting out is concerned? A bubble for the NFL? Why that isn’t feasible, and quite frankly, impossible to pull off? Why the best player in the NFL isn’t the #1 player ranked on football’s top 100 is beyond me!

(57:34) Golf will finally usher in its first major of 2020, as Justin Thomas becomes the #1 player in the world with his win over the weekend.

(34:05) Breaking down the NFL health and safety protocols. Why the risk is higher in the NFL than the other sports, in particular, off the field? The Jamal Adams blockbuster to Seattle. Why this was similar to the Mets situation with Jacob deGrom a couple of years back and who’s to blame for the departure? Plus, the Washington Football Team? (????) QB Alex Smith’s comeback, Chris Jones and Tyreek Hill’s Miami Heat impression of how many Super Bowls the KC Chiefs can win? A player opting out this year and a retirement.

(54:40) NHL news and notes regarding various players as the postseason is upon us. A Maple Leaf hero passes away, the Kraken have invaded the NHL’s newest franchise in Seattle and a playoff prediction of the first round? Yes. With a question mark! I’ll explain.

(2:28) Are you ready? Baseball is about to begin as the long drought is coming to an end. I have a few thoughts about sports making its return and it may surprise you.

(13:23) Some MLB storylines of the past week (SF’s Posey opts-out, ATL Freeman COVID scare, Puig signs, then becomes a free agent again. Where will the Blue Jays play their home games?) Which leads into my pseudo MLB preview as I breakdown each division in this ultimate crap shoot of a season. I’ll have a World Series prediction (it may not thrill you) and dissect what my beloved NY Mets will do in this truncated baseball year.

(36:39) The NFL players have voiced their feelings about wanting to play in light of the pandemic, but where are the rules and regulations when it comes to health, safety and social distancing protocols with training camps opening next week. Where have the bigwigs of the ‘Shield’ been hiding? You’ll get my thoughts on that, plus some major extensions handed out to key players in the league, including Browns DE, Myles Garrett. Ahem, you know I have a comment or two about that!

(46:26) The NBA season will pick up in eleven days. I’ll discuss Russell Westbrook’s health, Zion Williamson’s departure from the bubble and the impact of his return and other stories from Orlando, Fl.

(51:00) The NHL will commence their postseason the day after the NBA returns. It’s all systems go, but I touch on the recent developments of the arena in Edmonton which sustained water damage. Will it be ready by the end of next week? Also, the status of Sidney Crosby as he has an undisclosed health issue he’s dealing with.

(54:02) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Joining me on Episode 145 is an aspiring broadcaster who is already making his mark by being a contributor to one of the nations top sports talk shows. Jai Shields (a.k.a. Jai from Baltimore) is a frequent caller to Mad Dog Unleashed, hosted by legendary host Christopher ‘Mad Dog’ Russo. Now, you’ll get to hear what this young man is all about as he embarks on his quest to become a play-by-play announcer. Mind you, he just turned 18 years old. That’s not a typo! Jai and I discuss his development as a sports fan, his passion for sports, his biggest influences, his ‘relationship’ with Mad Dog Russo and we even tackle how he carries himself in light of racial unrest, police brutality and social injustices throughout our country. This was a great exchange with a bright young mind with lots of potential and a ‘sky’s the limit’ future.

(2:28) Are we closer or further from sports returning in the climate of COVID-19? My commentary on that, as well as…

(9:04) Thoughts as the MLB season commences in ten days, how the Mets are shaping up, will this years World Series champion count as legitimate? Also, Aroldis Chapman’s coronavirus case and what it does to the Yankee bullpen? The Braves won’t change their name, but the Tomahawk Chop?

(25:08) The Redskins will officially change their moniker. What should they re-name themselves? Are the owners and players at odds over some terms on the return of another season? There are health issues abound with two players making some strong comments about the climate the country is currently in. What does this mean as training camp is just a few weeks away? I’ll get into Patrick Mahomes’s record breaking deal? Are the Chiefs going to be hamstrung by this deal? And the player jersey swap ban is as comical as it gets.

(33:48) The Big 10 & PAC-12 are only playing conference games in the fall. How does this affect college football on a whole? Will the other major conferences follow suit?

(37:56) Early concerns and stories from the NBA bubble down in Orlando, including a major injury to a contending team out West. And what to make of the players using slogans on the back of their jerseys? My complete take on that.

(43:35) The NHL have renewed their CBA and the first player opt-out as they’re just a few weeks from resuming their quest for the Cup.

(49:02) An MMA recap of Fight Island on Saturday night. Why Kamaru Usman’s victory wasn’t as easy as many thought it would be?

(3:10) The uncertainty of sports making its return or reboot as COVID-19 cases continue to rise throughout the nation, but there may be a very slim, glimmer of hope. i’ll explain.

(22:37) The NHL have set up their hubs for the postseason. One issue at the forefront is the players deadline to opt out of participating as the season resumes? Why this needs to be corrected PRONTO?

(29:25) The NFL may have a quandary on their hands as the players do not want to dress up and play during the preseason. Is this a concern for the owners? What are the potential ramifications in the short and long term? Also, the Redskins may finally get rid (and long overdue) of the controversial mascot name. What should the new team name be? And is there dissension in the front office surrounding Redskins owner, Daniel Snyder?

(42:02) Why I’m choosing not to predict the over/under win totals in the MLB this season?

(45:31) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week. NOTE: My commentary on the latest controversy surrounding the NFL’s decision to add the Black National Anthem prior to Week 1 games only and what the league and the powers that be, should do moving forward!

(2:51) Kicking off the podcast with a theme of good vibes as I focus on not detailing how COVID-19 could potentially shut down sports as we know it.

(6:41) MLB’s upcoming 2020 season. Will it be legitimate? What if a player flirts with batting .400? I have lots to share on that.

(16:14) NBA’s restart schedule has been released. It’s way too early for predictions, but players are opting out of playing in Orlando. Will this trend continue? Also, LeBron James celebrates an infamous anniversary. It was ten years ago that The Decision was the talk of all sports. I’ll recap the hoopla surrounding that firestorm.

(27:12) The NHL are narrowing down hubs for their postseason. Who are the front runners? The league is working on the next CBA, but there’s a caveat. I’ll explain. And who came up with this bizarre way to get the number 1 pick in this years draft? You won’t want to miss my assessment on that topic, as well as, there are a few inductees to Hockey’s Hall Of Fame as I’ll get into whether or not they are worthy of being enshrined in Toronto.

(37:26) Cam Newton has finally found a home. It’s with New England. I’ll share his possible impact in Foxborough but also chime in on the biggest reason why this may not work? The head of the players union (DeMaurice Smith) made some sober comments regarding the players protective safety before the start of training camp. Is he wrong for bringing it up?

(45:13) Plus, NYC Marathon canceled. The golf over the weekend at The Travelers in CT. Bubba Wallace fallout from the alleged noose in his garage and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(2:57) After police brutality was all the rage throughout the month, guess who made its return back into the news cycle? That’s right. COVID-19! I’ll dive in as to what the latest outbreaks throughout the country means as far as sports restarting (NBA, NHL) or trying to start (MLB) and the effects of it in the not too distant future (NFL). It’s a grim reality of an assessment that you won’t want to miss.

(22:29) An up to the minute analysis of the psychological tug of war between the players and owners of the MLB. We’re waiting word on the players vote on whether they’ll accept the latest (and final) proposal by the owners. Will they agree? Should they play? It’s getting late early as Yogi Berra used to say. You’ll definitely want to process and digest what I have to say about that.

(31:22) Brett Favre was asked about Colin Kaepernick and how does he’s compared to the late football player, Pat Tillman AND if there’s a correlation between Kaepernick, Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali? You KNOW I went IN on this subject. Is Kaep a hero? Is he worth being mentioned in the same breath as the aforementioned icons of sports past? Another fiery take as I go full open field tackle on this subject. I’ll also touch on Jamal Adams of the New York Jets and his trade request out of Gotham. What should the Jets brass do? Listen in to find out for yourself.

(44:12) The Belmont Stakes kicked off the Triple Crown of Horse Racing for the year. When it’s all said and done, if Tiz The Law is victorious in the last two races as he was in the first, will it be legit?

(47:26) I’ll have a quick tennis update on the US Open still set for late August. Serena Williams will be there. What about Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? What if they do not participate? I’ll share that…

On deck: (2:57) After police brutality was all the rage throughout the month, guess who made its return back into...
(2:57) After police brutality was all the rage throughout the month, guess who made its return back into the news cycle? That’s right. COVID-19! I’ll dive in as to what the latest outbreaks throughout the country means as far as sports restarting (NBA, NHL) or trying to start (MLB) and the effects of it in the not too distant future (NFL). It’s a grim reality of an assessment that you won’t want to miss.

(22:29) An up to the minute analysis of the psychological tug of war between the players and owners of the MLB. We’re waiting word on the players vote on whether they’ll accept the latest (and final) proposal by the owners. Will they agree? Should they play? It’s getting late early as Yogi Berra used to say. You’ll definitely want to process and digest what I have to say about that.

(31:22) Brett Favre was asked about Colin Kaepernick and how does he’s compared to the late football player, Pat Tillman AND if there’s a correlation between Kaepernick, Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali? You KNOW I went IN on this subject. Is Kaep a hero? Is he worth being mentioned in the same breath as the aforementioned icons of sports past? Another fiery take as I go full open field tackle on this subject. I’ll also touch on Jamal Adams of the New York Jets and his trade request out of Gotham. What should the Jets brass do? Listen in to find out for yourself.

(44:12) The Belmont Stakes kicked off the Triple Crown of Horse Racing for the year. When it’s all said and done, if Tiz The Law is victorious in the last two races as he was in the first, will it be legit?

(47:26) I’ll have a quick tennis update on the US Open still set for late August. Serena Williams will be there. What about Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? What if they do not participate? I’ll share that…

(49:45) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(3:13) The players and owners of the MLB have become increasingly distant by the day when it comes to an agreement to play ball. There’s only one person who can solve this. Unfortunately, it may leave a stain with the group he works for. I’ll explain.

(17:57) A couple of interesting notes came from the NBA over the weekend. One - Kyrie Irving’s comments about not finishing the season in light of the recent civil unrest in this country. Two - the players concern about isolation, being in a ‘bubble’, their health to complete a season has come under pressure in the past few days. Is Kyrie right? Should some of the players back off, if they wish?

(33:33) The latest on the NHL hubs as they look to start training camp on July 10th. Also, how the first round of the playoffs could be an advantage for the 5-12 seeds going up against the 1-4 seeds in the second round?

(38:17) An NFL head coach will kneel with his players during the national anthem, as well as, multiple players as well. What will the owners do? They’ve been quiet up until this point.

(43:00) I discuss the summer of 1998 with Sammy Sosa & Mark McGwire’s home run chase. Alex Cora’s comments on his participation in the 2017 Astros sign stealing scandal.

(44:45) Why I was not attracted to the Charles Schwab golf tournament over the weekend? Roger Federer hangs it up for 2020 and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(7:42) The NBA kicks off the nuts and bolts of the podcast as I detail the tough job that lies ahead for Commissioner Adam Silver as he navigates the league through this pandemic. I'll review episodes 7 & 8 of The Last Dance as I discuss Michael Jordan’s DNA, does he get a pass for his foibles vs. Orlando in the ‘95 Eastern Conference Semifinals?, Scottie Pippen’s choice to sit out the final play of Game 3 in the 94 ECS and much more on this compelling documentary.

(3:13) I start off with a rant unrelated to sports as I dissect spring (or lack thereof) in the Northeast. I’m sure some people will agree.

(7:42) The NBA kicks off the nuts and bolts of the podcast as I detail the tough job that lies ahead for Commissioner Adam Silver as he navigates the league through this pandemic. I'll review episodes 7 & 8 of The Last Dance as I discuss Michael Jordan’s DNA, does he get a pass for his foibles vs. Orlando in the ‘95 Eastern Conference Semifinals?, Scottie Pippen’s choice to sit out the final play of Game 3 in the 94 ECS and much more on this compelling documentary.

(34:34) The NFL schedule for 2020 is out. I’ll highlight the Thursday, Sunday and Monday night dockets, as well as the Thanksgiving and Christmas Day games. Also, is Frank Gore a future Hall of Famer?

(3:17) The biggest factor of all in sports coming back. The social commentary on what that could mean to the American public and a first time prediction as to how this may all play out.

(22:11) Remembering the life of Don Shula who passed away at the age of 90. Is Andy Dalton a security blanket for Dak Prescott in Dallas? The NFL schedule makers bravado? No NFL games overseas and is Jarrett Stidham the man in New England at QB?

(33:07) A dangerous game may be on the horizon between the owners and players of MLB. How that could be costly and will become a breaking point with baseball fans across the country?

(38:45) Recapping episodes 5 & 6 of the ESPN Chicago Bulls documentary, The Last Dance. How Nike almost didn’t get their man? Is Adidas still regretting not signing him? The Isiah/MJ feud and the Dream Team impact. Toni Kukoc gets embarrassed, the Bulls-Knicks rivalry and the press behind Jordan’s gambling sojourn to Atlantic City during the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals, plus much more.

(12:12) Recapping the NFL Draft winners and losers, the wheeling and dealing throughout the league, why drafting a QB in Green Bay was a risk, but justified? Also, will the NFL continue to be unscathed during the coronavirus?

(34:29) Can the players be ready in the 3-4 week period as suggested by NBA player president, Chris Paul? The Last Dance aired episodes 3 and 4 last night. Why you need to watch this NOW? The ‘sports hatred’ that’s a thing of the past and settling the score as to why Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T?

(55:43) Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez bidding to buy the Mets? Why that may be a good thing? And not so bad overall for the star couple! You’ll definitely want to hear what I have to say about that and the Red Sox penalty for their version of sign stealing in 2018.

(4:18) A disappointing collapse in the 1996 Big East Final, among a couple of other losses, will never erase the bitter taste of losing a national championship in 1985 as Georgetown bows to Villanova.

(12:37) The Drive For Five. Losing to the Rangers in the first round back in the 90’s was bad, but you’ll be surprised as to what the roughest NY Islanders loss was for me.

(19:26) Tough defeats at the hands of the Lakers in big spots highlight this brutal stretch for the Boston Celtics.

(28:40) It gets interesting here. The Steelers suffered some inexplicable losses in the postseason, but nothing like the 1994 AFC Championship Game vs. the Chargers. I’ll explain why.

(46:02) And then…there are the Mets. Losing to the Yankees in the Subway Series? The Royals in 2015? Not even close. There are three that come to mind, with not just one, but TWO honorable mention that you won’t want to miss out on.

(59:05) Lastly, I’ll recap the top headlines of the first round of the NFL Draft. Not a lot of drama, but some surprises, especially what took place in Green Bay.

(24:10) The NFL Draft is upon us. I’ll share with you who is the most intriguing story of the first round. The TV aspect of it as this virtual draft is the first one of its kind.

(2:15) It’s already been a month without games, matches, etc. being played. Numerous reports have stated that the MLB, NBA & NHL have made some proposals as to when the leagues will be open and how they’ll execute these plans. Should we buy? Sell? Believe it? Disregard it?

(23:25) News and notes throughout the NFL including: Roger Goodell working the Draft from his basement? The untimely death of former QB, Tarvaris Jackson. Brandin Cooks trade to Houston. The end of the pass interference rule as we know it? And the end of the XFL? Lots to get into during this 13 minute segment.

(4:28) My early memories of rooting for the Georgetown Hoyas college basketball team, as they were champions in 1984.

(10:25) The New York Islanders record setting dominance of the early 1980’s, winning four Stanley Cups along the way.

(17:07) The Boston Celtics halcyon days of the 1980’s, sandwiched by the 2008 championship team. One of my biggest regrets and confession comes from watching the NBA Finals of that year. You won’t want to miss that.

(26:45) The Pittsburgh Steelers capping off four Super Bowl victories in the 1970’s, to the improbable and historic run to winning Super Bowl XL (which was anti-climatic…you have to hear for yourself) concluding with what I call, ‘The Gift That Keeps On Giving’ as the Steelers win Super Bowl XLIII.

(37:35) My first love, the New York Mets as 1986 is the only season I can hang my hat on, despite a couple of World Series runs that fell short. They did provide a thrill of a lifetime as I look back at where I was and how I was ready to burst into sad tears when there were two outs in the bottom of the 10th in Game 6 of the ‘86 World Series.

I hope you enjoy listening to my thoughts and experience of what it was like to witness world championships as it evokes memories of the teams you root for and what it meant to you at that time.

(2:37) Will sports resume in the near future? By summer? In ANY part of 2020? I’ll delve into a possible grim reality on how the coronavirus has a stranglehold on the sports world and if there is any relief in sight? Will the fans rush back into the stadium? What happens if the virus isn’t 100% eradicated? Those are a couple of the questions I touch on as you won’t want to miss my thoughts on this.

(13:25) Should the NBA/NHL transition right into the postseason, if and when, both leagues resume? NHL’s Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby think so. While Conor McDavid says, play fair and finish out the regular season. You know I have a thing or two to say about what both leagues should do upon re-starting their seasons.

(18:02) The MLB campaign hasn’t begun, but there have been discussions on what to do about 2020. Should they extend the schedule deep into the fall? Should postseason games be played at neutral sites? What about the All-Star Game? Various queries and I have answers regarding the above and more.

(28:09) How COVID-19 continues to impact the players on the field, court, ice (statuses of Utah’s Donovan Mitchell and Boston’s Marcus Smart, two Colorado Avalanche players), broadcasters (ESPN’s Doris Burke) and even owners (NY Knicks James Dolan).

(31:30) Catching up on some fringe signings in the NFL as the free agency period starts to whittle down as we get set for the draft next month. What that may look like as you’re watching at home? YIKES! Get ready for that, NFL fans!

(35:36) Why you should acquaint yourself with YouTube (Duh!) to watch classic games, as I suggest a few hockey tough guys (you know that’s my thing) from yesteryear to keep you occupied and entertained while being self-quarantined.

(38:53) My Hero and Zero of the Week.

(40:51) Plus, a birthday wish that I ask of you, the listeners, as I celebrate another year in the life on March 31st.

(33:04) LeBron James made a first and surprising visit to Instagram Live as he divulged an interesting tidbit regarding the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Boston Celtics. I’ll do a deep dive on that and is there trouble with the league regarding payment of players after April 1st?

(39:55) The NHL has been low key despite some news coming out of Ottawa in regards to players contracting the coronavirus.

(42:12) A couple of baseball notes regarding the health of two key players in the AL East (Chris Sale & Aaron Judge)

(44:18) I’ll also touch on college basketball players declaring for the draft. CBS turns back the clock over the weekend.

(2:18) The coronavirus rocks the sports world as leagues, tournaments and seasons come to a screeching halt due to the worldwide pandemic of the aforementioned virus. I’ll chronologically go through all that took place, the watershed moment of the week in the NBA, the subsequent postponements, suspensions and cancellations across the board as we sort through the wreckage piece by piece.

(21:08) I’ll share a few tips on what I feel are the best tips to deal with being indoors, sequestered from the world to keep yourself upbeat and positive through this process.

(26:56) Some NBA news and notes regarding Mark Cuban, Giannis Antetekoumpo and Zion Williamson’s charitable efforts for the employees working in the arenas during this stoppage. The Yankees and Mets decide not to break camp and continue to build and bond team chemistry.

(32:05) The NFL will be front and center as the free agency period begins today. I’ll discuss the big contract that Ryan Tannehill received, Tom Brady’s impending destination and the Ravens steal of a trade getting DE Calais Campbell from Jacksonville. Also, Rick Pitino finds a home at Iona (New Rochelle, NY) Is this a huge risk considering his peccadillos off the court? And what lies ahead for the podcast if games/news are on an indefinite hiatus? I’m working feverishly in the lab to come up with some creative and thoughtful ideas to keep the podcast entertaining and informative for you, the fan.

(2:01) The Lakers left their mark on the NBA after big wins against Milwaukee and the Clippers this weekend. Are they the team to beat? Is LeBron James the league MVP after his battles with Giannis and Kawhi?

(15:24) The Brooklyn Nets ‘mutually agree to part ways’ with their head coach, Kenny Atkinson. My question is why now? And I have a theory as to why they let go of their former coach with their rivals across the river always in their shadow.

(33:24) March Madness is a week and a half away, but Conference Championship Week is here. I’ll bring you up to speed on all that’s happening in the college circuit as I serve the appetizer to next weeks main course for the NCAA hoops fan.

(39:15) The Hurricanes and Flyers have been the hottest teams in the NHL. They continue to move up the standings to solidify playoff positioning. Also, what does this mean for the Islanders? Losers of six in a row and with a four game road trip to Western Canada and Pittsburgh, needless to say, this is their biggest stretch of the year. I’ll have an up to the minute look at the standings as we’re less than a month away from the end of the regular season.

(48:33) As the baseball season is two and a half weeks away, will MLB complete their investigation on the 2018 Boston Red Sox before the start of their season? Will the penalties be as harsh as the Houston Astros?

(55:01) There have been whispers that some of the NFL owners are hoping that the players reject the latest proposal of the CBA so that they can add another game to the 17 game schedule. Why didn’t they all agree on this the first time around? What if they get what they wish for? Is armaggedon near?

(44:54) The latest on the XFL. Is the buzz starting to wear off? Is it losing some steam?

Wrapping up February as we creep closer to a busy sports month! Episode 115 will have all you need when it comes to what’s going on in the world of sports. On deck:

(3:28) The top storylines as the NBA kicks off its “second half” after the All-Star Break. Coach John Beilein’s ouster in Cleveland. Sixers Joel Embiid’s proclamation as the ‘best player in the world’, the Celtics-Lakers matchup yesterday with an overview of both teams looking forward. As well as, a breakdown of an up to the minute seedings in each conference for playoff positioning.

(21:43) A topsy-turvy week in College Basketball which saw four of the top six seeds lose in the past five days. What does this mean as far as the tournament is concerned?

(26:49) Capitals winger, Alexander Ovechkin becomes the eighth player to score 700 goals in the NHL. Does Great Eight (Ovi) have a chance to catch the Great One (Gretzky)? Also, talk of the trade deadline as it approaches at 3pm today with a couple of deals that I discuss.

(38:24) Former Astros P Mike Fiers was criticized (called a snitch by Red Sox legend, David Ortiz), received death threats via social media and was praised by the crowd upon his first start of the spring. Should he be critiqued or canonized for what he did? The Yankees may lose another starter to begin 2020. Is this a sign of things to come for 2020?

(46:00) NFL news and notes as the combine approaches this week (not a fan), Drew Brees to give it another shot, Browns LT Greg Robinson carrying how much pot? And is there a stalemate between the owners and players over the new proposal regarding the potential new NFL schedule?

(50:36) Plus a recap of the heavyweight fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury on Saturday night and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(1:58) The Houston Astros good, bad and ugly from their ‘mea culpa’ press conference on Thursday. I’ll explain the aforementioned three things and did it erase some of the stigma from their 2017 championship season? Why this could be a plus for baseball? And why this isn’t going away any time soon?

(34:20) The NBA All-Star Break has come and gone. I’ll add my two cents on the aftermath of the dunk contest, the big whoop about the All-Star Game itself and set my sights on a thrilling second half as teams will jockey for playoff positioning and who may surprise and disappoint over the final two months of the season.

(42:55) The NHL had a rollercoaster week. From the Capitals RW Alexander Ovechkin trying to reach the 700 goal mark, to the scare out in Anaheim with Blues D, Jay Bouwmeester’s health and the disaster out in Colorado with the Stadium Series set up between the Kings and Avalanche. With the trade deadline a week away, I’ll bring you up to date on the latest with rumors and the playoff chase in both conferences.

(57:41) Browns DE, Myles Garrett has been reinstated to play at the start of next season in the NFL. Why that was a mistake? AND what did he say just seconds after reinstatement? You won’t want to miss that!

Plus, the latest in college basketball (54:57), the XFL (56:29) and my Hero and Zero of the Week (1:04:38).

Re-introducing the Sports Dead Zone Part 1 as the NFL season is complete, while we await March Madness and the 2020 MLB season.

(1:34) The NBA trade deadline had a couple of good storylines as Miami and the second banana in LA (Clippers) fortified their squads to make a deep push into spring for the coveted Lawrence O’Brien Trophy. I’ll recap both deals that sent Andre Iguodala to the Heat and Marcus Morris to LA, as well as, the other trades that highlighted Thursday’s deadline.

(27:02) The NHL’s Western Conference playoff race is going to be a fight to the finish where you have eight teams jockeying for three playoff spots.

(36:38) Pitchers and catchers report throughout the MLB this week. I’ll share my two cents on the blockbuster Mookie Betts trade to LA and the Mets ownership is up to no good AGAIN!

(53:55) Anyone interested in the XFL? You’re going to get a surprising thought or two about the league reincarnated from its old version back almost twenty years ago.

(1:02:17) I also have a say on the college basketball season to date as we’re hoping for a sprint to March Madness as it can’t come any faster. Jon Jones is back on the MMA mountaintop.

(3:00) The Chiefs win their first Super Bowl in 50 years as they rally from a ten point fourth quarter deficit and put it on the 49ers as Patrick Mahomes is the MVP of the game. I’ll review all the key plays as the Niners have a long off-season to figure out what went wrong as they couldn’t seal the deal. I’ll chime in on the Halftime Show, the commercials and the introduction of the top players in NFL history as I put the 100th season of the NFL to bed. I’ll also have a few thoughts on the Class of 2020 Hall of Fame candidates as well.

(33:48) The NBA arguably has gone through its’ toughest week in the history of the league, as teams, players, coaches and fans say goodbye to the late, great Kobe Bryant. I’ll paint a broad stroke on the week that was with this tragedy hanging over the NBA community and beyond, and take a look at the events in LA on Friday as the Lakers hosted their first game since the Black Mamba’s death. I’ll add in the changes made to the NBA All Star Game to commemorate Kobe Bryant, the exploits of Blazers G Damian Lillard and why Jae Crowder got what he deserved in the final seconds of a game against the NY Knicks.

(49:00) A rivalry in the NHL is renewed as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames played two games in three nights and sparked thoughts of their brawl filled days in the 1980’s. Hear my take as to why the NHL has missed the boat AGAIN, and why rivalries are NEEDED in a sport that lacks any spark to the casual sports fan.

(57:00) There’s a new sheriff in Houston and his name is Dusty Baker. Why I think this is a good hire for the reigning AL Champions and is Mookie Betts on the trading block in Boston? I’ll delve into that as the Red Sox may be looking to make wholesale changes just 16 months after winning a World Series.

(1:01:42) I’ll recap the mens and womens champions at the Australian Open, what’s happening in College Basketball and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

I’ll preview Super Bowl LIV as the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will face off for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I’ll get into the key matchups, things to look for and my prediction as to who’ll be the last team standing in this NFL season. I’ll also talk about the potential Hall of Famers that are on the ballot for the 2020 class, as well as, the end of an era for a one Eli Manning as he announced his retirement. What does that mean for the other QB’s in the 2004 Draft? (i.e. Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger)

The Mets have hired their second manager in almost three months. Let’s see if the next man up (Luis Rojas) will fit the bill as spring training is just two weeks and change from today. I’ll share my thoughts on the newly minted Hall of Fame Class of 2020 in Derek Jeter (no-brainer) and Larry Walker (ehhhh) and those who fell short (Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens) Do they have a shot next year?

The latest in the NBA, NHL All-Star Game, Coco Gauff’s rise at the Australian Open, my Hero and Zero of the Week and much more.

Super Bowl LIV in Miami will await the Chiefs and 49ers as they will descend to South Florida later this week. I’ll recap how they got there and share some early thoughts of this heavyweight matchup. I’ll also have a postmortem on the Titans and Packers, including Aaron Rodgers’s legacy to date and go around the league for the latest news and notes.

MLB took a major hit over the past week as not one, but three managers were let go in a four day span. You can thank the sign-stealing Houston Astros in the 2017 for this. I’ll delve into everything that took place in Houston, Boston and New York. What type of impact this has for each team as spring training is on the horizon. And why it was a good move for the Mets to part ways with their short tenured manager, Carlos Beltran.

Speaking of coaching/managerial changes, the NHL has gone through SEVEN of them and we haven’t hit the All-Star Break. I’ll add my two cents on that.

Also, the latest in the NBA with ballyhooed rookie, Zion Williamson’s NBA debut forthcoming and Kyrie Irving is at it again. Why his comments are biting him in the rear end, yet again, to show he’s not meant to be a true leader.

Plus, college basketball, Conor McGregor’s importance to MMA, the Australian Open and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

And now there are four. Divisional Weekend in the NFL is in the books. I’ll highlight the Titans rising in Baltimore, while the Ravens unravel as the top seed in the AFC. A couple of ‘I told you so’s’ on Lamar Jackson. How Texans coach Bill O’Brien gagged a 24 point lead to the high flying, record setting Chiefs? 49er dominance at home vs. the Vikings and the Packers hanging on at home vs. the Seahawks. I’ll also look ahead to Championship Weekend, what’s the best and worst potential Super Bowl match-ups and discuss the new homes for coaches in Dallas, Carolina and New York (Giants).

I’ll preview (FINALLY) the National Championship Game between LSU-Clemson. Does Clemson have a chance? Is this the coronation for LSU?

I'll take a trip through the Association to touch on Russell Westbrook’s return to OKC, the effects of Anthony Davis’s injury in LA for the Lakers and the Celtics falter against a much bigger team as the Sixers continue to dominate them this season.

As for the NHL, some changes were made in Nashville and New Jersey and the topsy-turvy Pacific out West.

The 2018 Red Sox are now caught in allegations regarding sign stealing as the world awaits the verdict regarding the 2017 Houston Astros. You’ll hear my two cents on that.

It was a ‘Wild’ Wild Card weekend as I recap the tough losses in New England and New Orleans. Vikings ride defense and Kirk Cousins to victory. Has the championship window for Drew Brees closed? Derrick Henry’s monster effort against Pats D. Houston’s enormous comeback cemented in OT, while Buffalo goes off into the postseason wondering how did it slip away? Seattle’s carbon copy win in Philadelphia, despite opportunities without Carson Wentz in at quarterback. I’ll also look ahead to the Divisional Round and where I may see an upset of the four games on tap. As for off the field, the Cleveland Browns are looking for a coach before a GM? That’s typical, but I have the GM to gain instant credibility and respectability and it’s a NO BRAINER!!!!

I’ll spend a few moments on the enormous loss of former NBA commissioner David Stern and the impact he made on the Association during his tenure from 1984-2014. I’ll also touch on what’s happening in the league over the past week, including the Sixers slipping in the East and a log jammed bottom of the West.

I’ll skate over the week that was on the ice in the NHL.

Are we really six weeks until pitchers and catchers? I’ll check the MLB Hot Stove pulse as we get closer to spring training.

And then there are twelve. The NFL regular season has come to a close. Now onto the postseason. I’ll recap a wild day in the league where we saw a shocker in Foxborough, the Chiefs take the #2 seed in the AFC, a frantic end in Seattle where the Niners have the top seed in the NFC. The Titans grab the #6 seed in the AFC, while Philadelphia secured the NFC East with a win vs. the Giants. I’ll preview Wild Card Weekend, the top storylines on the road to Super Bowl LIV and keep you up to date on Black Monday as coaches have already been given their walking papers.

The National Championship in College Football is set. There was a rout (LSU destroys Oklahoma) and a nail biter (as defending champ Clemson holds off Ohio State) I’ll look back at what took place and what lies ahead as we have to wait another TWO WEEKS to crown a champion.

I’ll peruse the latest free agent signings in baseball, what’s happening in the NBA, NHL and college basketball. Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

And then there are twelve. The NFL regular season has come to a close. Now onto the postseason. I’ll recap a wild day in the league where we saw a shocker in Foxborough, the Chiefs take the #2 seed in the AFC, a frantic end in Seattle where the Niners have the top seed in the NFC. The Titans grab the #6 seed in the AFC, while Philadelphia secured the NFC East with a win vs. the Giants.

The NFC plays ‘hot potato’ when it comes to seeding as the 49ers leapfrog to the top of the conference, while the Seahawks plummet toward the bottom. The Eagles take control of the NFC East as the Cowboys are on the outside looking in. In the AFC, the Steelers playoff push gets a lump of coal in their stocking as they are left out in the cold for now. I’ll provide an up to the minute recap of the playoff picture as we head into the final weekend of the NFL regular season.

The College Football Playoff is this weekend as LSU-Oklahoma and Clemson-Ohio State square off to see who’ll play in the National Championship. I’ll preview both match-ups with predictions as to who will fight for a title in the FBS.

I’ll bring you up to speed on the MLB free agent front, including my thoughts on the Yankee rumors regarding Francisco Lindor and Kyle Schwarber. (And a trade proposal for the Bombers) As well as, my two cents on what Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes’s has in store for the 2020 season.

The NBA’s Christmas Day schedule and the possible experiment with an early season one million dollar tournament for players on the 30 teams in the league? And a big trade in the NHL this past week.

NFL Week 15 recap includes another shift at the top of the NFC (SF loses, SEA & GB win), status quo in the AFC (BAL, NE, KC, HOU & BUF are victorious) and what to expect over the last two weeks of the NFL season/playoff picture. Also, the latest with the Patriots videotaping the Bengals sideline and what in the world happened with the ten former NFL players defrauding the leagues health program of millions of dollars?

What a difference a year makes with the MLB Hot Stove!? Last year, it took until February for teams to sign superstars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. This year, Stephen Strasburg, Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon and Madison Bumgarner are all of the board well before Christmas! I’ll dissect it all, and does the Cole signing with the Yankees make them the prohibitive favorite to win the World Series?

In the NBA, we had Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto, Luka Doncic’s injury, the health of David Stern and everything else going on throughout the league.

Same as I take a trip on the ice in the NHL, including the story of former Boston Bruins G Tim Thomas and how concussions have impacted his life post career.

The College Football Playoff is set. I’ll review the matchups between LSU vs. Oklahoma and Ohio State vs. Clemson.

The MLB Hot Stove is starting to heat up. The Yankees have made an offer to the top free agent pitcher on the market, Gerrit Cole. Will they get their man? Also, the Mets are in the process of being bought by hedge fund investor, Steve Cohen. What does this mean moving forward in regards to bringing top flight players on the market?

Auburn squeaks past Alabama. Crimson Tide playoff run is over. Saban’s legitimate gripe? Ohio St. prevails over Michigan AGAIN! Is this it for Jim Harbaugh? Who’ll crack the top four in the College Playoff if Georgia loses to LSU?

Kyrie’s social media comments about the reaction to the Celtic fans. James Harden’s 60 points in 31 minutes (we’ve seen this movie before) Joel Embiid’s 0 point effort in a loss at the place of emotional heartbreak (Toronto) in last seasons playoff.

The Lakers lead the pack in the NBA, but it’s Luka Doncic’s world in Dallas. Has he become the leagues best player at the tender age of 20? Plus, AD’s first visit to NOLA, as I go around the Association for the latest and greatest.

Lamar Jackson’s bid for MVP on the heels of a putrid NFL team in Cincinnati. The Steelers have come all the way back from an 0-3 start to put themselves in control of their own destiny for the AFC playoff race. Do the Browns have gas in the tank? Has the clock struck twelve for the Bills? I’ll have all of that for you, and then some, with a look ahead to Week 11.

LSU vs. Alabama was entertaining, but not the classic that people are making it out to be. I’ll recap the stars of this epic showdown, with the more important question. Will Alabama make the College Football Playoff this year?

The GM Meetings begin in Arizona today as the MLB Hot Stove will start to heat up. Could this be another slow off-season for the over 130 free agents to be making their way to new destinations?

I’ll share some thoughts on the NBA where there was a high scoring affair between the Rockets vs. Wizards, Stephen Curry’s broken hand and Joel Embiid is up to his stupid tactics yet again.

And don’t forget, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

As we’re just about halfway through the NFL season, it’s been a bit of a bore, if you ask me. I’ll explain why, including if the Patriots defense is an all time great considering what they’ve done to this point?

The Astros have come roaring back from an 0-2 deficit to claim the lead in the Series as it shifts back to Houston. I’ll recap how they came back, why the Nationals have fallen flat and what to expect as the baseball season is coming to a close. Speaking of close, the Mets shut down the fans hopes of bringing manager, Joe Girardi, on board as he signs with the rival Phillies. You know I have a thing or two to say about this.

There is a new #1 in college football as the LSU Tigers have overtaken the Alabama Crimson Tide for the top dog in the country. We’ve had a couple of upsets with top ranked teams going down on Saturday. I’ll cover it all as the college game starts to heat up.

I’ll also discuss how the new challenge system worked in favor last night in the NBA, touch on the latest in the NHL as well as, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The Yankees fell short of reaching the World Series, not only this year, but the entire decade for the first time in over 100 years. I promise to not throw a lot of dirt on their 2019 grave, but there are a few bullet points to get to regarding this series vs. Houston and their outlook for 2020. Including a thought about a trade chip on their squad that could bring back a top of the rotation pitcher.

I’ll preview the World Series between Washington vs. Houston with my bold prediction. I’ll also chime in on the latest rumors regarding the Mets managerial position which you’ll get a kick out of.

NFL Week 7 was rather ehhh, to be quite honest, but I’ll share my thoughts on some of the top stories of the weekend throughout the league.

Tua Tagovailoa’s ankle injury and surgery was the biggest news coming out of college football this weekend. Will that affect their national title hopes?

The NBA season is about to get underway. I’ll get into the top storylines heading into this campaign, over/under win totals, NBA Finals predictions, as we get ready to usher in another year for the Association.

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The first podcast of October (Episode 94) will be sure to whet your sports appetite. Here’s what’s on deck:

The MLB postseason has been littered with highly questionable moves by managers when it comes to their starters and bullpen. I’ll discuss why overthinking has ruined some of these playoff games to date. I’ll also delve into these Division Series games in the AL/NL and my experience at Yankee Stadium as I was present for Game 1 vs. Minnesota. My beloved Mets made an unsurprising move as they’ve fired now former skipper, Mickey Callaway. What’s the plan for the front office as they’re looking to make a ‘splash’ in searching for their man to lead this team to the promised land? You know I’ll put in my two cents on this topic.

NFL Week 5 was pretty ho-hum, although you got an upset in Kansas City which now leaves us with only two unbeaten teams in the league (maybe one, after tonight’s Monday night matchup in San Francisco) I’ll check in on some of the big storylines of this past week and recap a tough loss for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I’ll also chime in on the latest in college football, the NHL, my Hero and Zero of the Week and a programming note that you won’t want to miss.

The MLB Postseason begins with the NL & AL Wild Card games on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll tell you who’ll move on to face the Dodgers and Astros respectively. I’ll also take an early look into the Division Series to preview what lies ahead for the Cardinals-Braves and Twins-Yankees. Plus, I have a message for Yankee fans out there, who had a few things to say about Pete Alonso breaking Aaron Judge’s rookie home run record from two years ago. You WON’T want to miss that! I’ll share a couple of thoughts about the Mets closing out their season in dramatic fashion and the future of Mickey Callaway as manager of the team.

NFL Week 4 was another crazy, unpredictable week if you’re in Tampa or LA (Rams), Cleveland, Oakland and Carolina. I’ll get into the top storylines of the week, look ahead to Week 5 and I’m still alive in my knockout pool as I’ll have a prediction for you as well.

The NHL & NBA seasons are upon us. The puck drops around the league on Wednesday as I’ll chime in on a few things, including my Stanley Cup prediction. And media day took place last week, with Brooklyn Nets G Kyrie Irving had a few interesting things to say about his former club in Boston.

We’re down to the final week of the baseball season. I’ll recap what’s happening in both the AL/NL Wild Card races. Will there be a play in game for CLE/TB? What happened to the Cubs? Mets still alive…barely. Also, has Mickey Callaway saved his job for 2020? What about expectations for next year regarding the Amazins? Then there are the Yankees, as they have clinched their first division in seven years. Upon their celebration, word came down that a key contributor will not be on the team come October. I'll discuss what affect that may have on the team and the roster as they complete the final week of the regular season. I’ll add in a CC Sabathia for the Hall of Fame debate in there as well.

NFL Week 3 was so-so, but there are a couple of storylines to sink your teeth into. The Daniel Jones era is off to a resounding start with the Giants. How I compare this first game to, dare I say, Michael Jordan’s NCAA Championship win at North Carolina. I’ll explore the career of Eli Manning and whether or not he’s destined for Canton, OH at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I’ll discuss the big trade in Pittsburgh as Minkah Fitzpatrick comes north as a #1 pick for next year goes south to Miami. The 3-0 teams vs. the 0-3 teams. As well as, are NFL players adopting the 'NBA player empowerment' mentality as a way to get their demands met?

Speaking of the NBA, I’ll share my thoughts on the latest measures to stop tampering from running rampant throughout the league moving forward. Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Another wild and wacky NFL as Week 2 delivers lots of juicy storylines, including: The officiating throughout the league (another bad call for the Saints, Broncos hit with penalties in loss to the Bears) Losses at QB in New Orleans and Pittsburgh. Bold two point conversions. Ben Roethlisberger done for the season. How will his backup, Mason Rudolph, fare in getting a ton of the playing time? And much more as I go around the league.

The Mets playoff hopes are hanging by a thread with 13 games to go as they trail by four games in the NL Wild Card race. Can they pull off a miracle and make it to October? I'll explain why Pete Alonso is the future of this team and what should've been for a former Met who received early accolades, but never panned out to what we thought he'd become. Also, an up to the minute AL/NL Wild Card update and the hunt for baseballs' best record is on the line between the Yankees, Astros and Dodgers.

The US Men's Basketball team took a big hit in the FIBA World Cup as they finished in seventh place for the tournament. Is this cause for concern with the Olympics slated for next summer? I'll get into that, plus my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The Mets have put their postseason hopes in the trash after a brutal loss in Washington and losing two out of three vs. Philadelphia. Mickey Callaway may have seen his managerial position go out the window with some very questionable moves this week. I have plenty of ammunition on this and I'll also recap the latest in the AL & NL Wild Card races.

Rafael Nadal has inched closer in his quest to catch Roger Federer for most Mens' Grand Slam titles.

The Mets have fizzled at home where they've been successful, but have thrown their playoff hopes into Flushing Bay. I'll recap the week that was, and analyze if there's still a glimmer of hope? Plus, the AL/NL Wild Card races and the Yankees counting down the days until they secure their first division title in seven years, but shudder at the thought of one of their key players coming back.

Are you ready for some football? We're just days away from the start of the 100th season of the National Football League. I'll catch up on all of the player movement that took place over the weekend. Are the Miami Dolphins tanking? And I'll rehash if we've seen the death of the NFL preseason as we know it.

I'll also chime in on the latest that's going on at the US Open Tennis Tournament, Week 1 of the college football season, and of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The Mets have fizzled at home where they've been successful, but have thrown their playoff hopes into Flushing Bay. I'll recap the week that was, and analyze if there's still a glimmer of hope? Plus, the AL/NL Wild Card races and the Yankees counting down the days until they secure their first division title in seven years, but shudder at the thought of one of their key players coming back.

Are you ready for some football? We're just days away from the start of the 100th season of the National Football League. I'll catch up on all of the player movement that took place over the weekend. Are the Miami Dolphins tanking? And I'll rehash if we've seen the death of the NFL preseason as we know it.

I'll also chime in on the latest that's going on at the US Open Tennis Tournament, Week 1 of the college football season, and of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The up-to-the-minute breakdown of the AL & NL Wild Card races, including the Mets squandering a chance to get closer to securing the second wild card spot. Also, the Yankees mash in LA as they continue their west coast trip.

Colts QB Andrew Luck has stepped away from game after his sudden retirement on Saturday. There has been a lot of backlash from critics and fans alike. Hear why I think they're crazy and need to keep quiet about Luck walking off into the sunset. I'll share my thoughts about the possible 'death of the NFL preseason' and take a look at the over/under win totals for 2019.

The college football season has kicked off a little earlier than usual, but the full slate begins this weekend. I'll tell you why this collegiate sport compares to recent NBA seasons. That's right. You'll be sure to want to hear this hot take.

There are five teams gunning for two spots turning the NL Wild Card race into a Royal Rumble. You'll get my up to the minute recap of a wild week in the Senior Circuit.

I'll touch on the Yankees upcoming West Coast trip, including, three big games at Dodger Stadium this weekend as arguably the two best teams in baseball will go at it in a possible World Series preview.

NFL camps in New York (Jets) and Los Angeles (Chargers) lose two key defensive players to significant injury this past week. With the third pre-season game tune up this week, what effect will this have on teams playing their starters for more than a quarter? A half? Plus, my thoughts on the Roger Goodell/Jay-Z meeting and the untimely death of former RB Cedric Benson.

Also, the latest possible replacement for Lakers F DeMarcus Cousins and my Hero & Zero of the Week.

The Mets are riding high after a successful homestand, capped by two unlikely wins vs. the Nationals. Can they bring this momentum to the Dirty South as they kick off a huge three game series vs. Atlanta? I'll look at their prospects this week, plus the rest of the NL Wild Card contenders as things heat up in the pennant race.

The NFL has completed their first go round of exhibition games. Hear what I have to say about certain happenings going on throughout the league.

The NBA has adopted a new rule preventing unqualified agents to represent players coming into the league. It has been coined, 'The Rich Paul Rule', the agent who represents LeBron James, Anthony Davis, among others. I have a couple of thoughts on this and what could this mean for long term for aspiring agents working with players who are looking for representation.

On this special edition (Episode 84) of The JAYREELZ Podcast, I'll preview the upcoming series and ask the question, 'Are you sucked in?' The rallying cry for this franchise from famed Met closer of the 1973 team, Tug McGraw, is 'Ya Gotta Believe!' I'm not speaking for the fan base, but I have a good grasp of what the majority thinks. More importantly, I’ll provide in-depth analysis of whether or not this team will be one of the last two wild card teams standing in the NL? Or it'll end in bitter disappointment, which more often than not, is usually the case.

The second sports 'Dead Zone' of the year has arrived. I'll explain.

An eventful week that was for the Mets included, the firing of their pitching coach and bullpen coach. Pete Alonso’s record breaking rookie season, not securing a road series win since the beginning of April at Wrigley Field, leading up to some salty post game comments by manager, Mickey Callaway, at a Newsday reporter AND pitcher Jason Vargas intervening. Is Mickey Callaway on his way out? My biggest fear for Pete Alonso in 2019? I have LOTS to say about this, as you might expect!

The Yankees weren't able to pay back the Astros with a sweep at home, but come off of an eight game winning streak as their big guns (i.e. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge) are back in the starting lineup. They have a trip across the pond at the end of the week in London vs. the Red Sox. You'll get my take on why I don't like these games being played overseas?

I'll recap the NBA Draft, get into some NBA free agency stuff as we're exactly a week away. Plus, my thoughts on the Celtics this offseason. Are they looking to re-tool? Re-load?

An eventful week that was for the Mets included, the firing of their pitching coach and bullpen coach. Pete Alonso’s record breaking rookie season, not securing a road series win since the beginning of April at Wrigley Field, leading up to some salty post game comments by manager, Mickey Callaway, at a Newsday reporter AND pitcher Jason Vargas intervening. Is Mickey Callaway on his way out? My biggest fear for Pete Alonso in 2019? I have LOTS to say about this, as you might expect!

The Yankees weren't able to pay back the Astros with a sweep at home, but come off of an eight game winning streak as their big guns (i.e. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge) are back in the starting lineup. They have a trip across the pond at the end of the week in London vs. the Red Sox. You'll get my take on why I don't like these games being played overseas?

I'll recap the NBA Draft, get into some NBA free agency stuff as we're exactly a week away. Plus, my thoughts on the Celtics this offseason. Are they looking to re-tool? Re-load?

I'll touch on the Devils and Rangers going 1-2 in the draft and what that means for the rivalry and organizations moving forward. Also, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers. Who is the winner and loser of this deal?

Should the Knicks or Nets pursue Kevin Durant? What will the Knicks do on draft night? Plus, the aftermath of Klay Thompson's injury and the future of the Warriors.

I'll recap the Blues historic Stanley Cup run. Does home ice/court/field matter in sports? The NHL Draft is Friday. Why the Devils and Rangers will be forever linked with who they select come Friday night?

The Yankees trade for another right-handed slugger. Why I disagree with the move? And why wasn't a starting pitcher involved instead?

The Mets bullpen continues to be inflammable. The latest debacle of relief futility, plus, their upcoming season defining road trip to Atlanta, Chicago (Cubs) and Philadelphia.

A recap of Gary Woodland's US Open victory over Brooks Koepka.
