Mets, Cardinals Headline Wild Card Storylines & Predictions. NFL Week 5 Schedule. Not So Thrilling College Saturday. Draymond Packs A Punch In Camp. NHL Over/Under Review
The weather is getting cooler, the days shorter but the sports talk is always a steady constant as I deliver the latest podcast for your edification. On deck:
(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.
