Tampa's 'Real Shot' To Win SB LV/NFL Offseason Frenzy, NBA/NHL Scheduling Dilemma, Ovi's Return/Pens Last Cup Push? MLB Discord, Bauer To Mets? Arenado to STL For Who?
New day. New week. New month. It must mean a new podcast as I deliver ALL that’s happening in the world of sports as Episode 176 is served. On deck:
(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.
(45:24) Bringing you up to speed on the latest rankings in college basketball. Who’s trending north? South?
(46:59) I spend a minute on the NBA on discussions about a possible All Star Game in Atlanta come March. Really?
(56:06) Some MLB Hot Stove cooking as I delve into the MLB discord with the players on pushing the season up a month, the universal DH for expanded playoffs. Free agent signings (JT Realmuto & Didi Gregorius), trades (Steven Matz to Toronto, which opens up a possibility of the Mets bringing in Trevor Bauer. Two words: BUYER BEWARE! Also, the Nolan Arenado trade to St. Louis. FOR WHO?) The departure of Masahiro Tanaka and retirement of Daniel Murphy. The Hall of Fame committee vs. Curt Schilling. And Scott Rolen a Hall of Famer? SERIOUSLY?
(1:22:56) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
