Open Apology To The Yankee Fans, Cespedes Debacle & The Abominable Mets, Zion's Minutes Restriction? NHL's Speech On Race/Early Upsets, NFL Player Opt Outs & A Bubble?
Get ready to absorb a ton of passionate sports talk in your speakers or earbuds because, yours truly, is bringing all kinds of smoke on Episode 148. On deck is the following:
(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.
(58:46) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
