I’ve got a lot cooking on the sports stove! I’ll serve a smorgasbord of the latest and greatest as Episode 114 will fill your plate and then some. On deck:

(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).
