Hurts's Health, Bengals-Bills & 49ers Firepower Headline Divisional Round. NBA Finals Rematch, Grizzlies Roaring. Oilers Kane Rapid Return. New Blood In NCAA Top 25. The End Of Rafael Nadal?
A rather quiet week in sports isn't going to stop yours truly as another fast paced, action packed sports podcast is coming at ya. On deck:
(2:43) The NFL Divisional Playoff weekend is almost here. I have a couple of interesting storylines with the #1 seeds in each conference being re-introduced to our consciousness (i.e. The physical condition and psyche of Eagles QB, Jalen Hurts. And the Chiefs been there, done that mentality of the road going through them in the conference. Plus, Andy Reid's penchant for poor clock management in big games) with complete breakdowns of all four matchups, predictions and what would be the best case scenario in the AFC & NFC Title Games for CBS & FOX as we inch closer to crowning a champion in Glendale, AZ next month.
(35:09) An NBA Finals rematch takes place tonight as the Celtics are in the middle of a seven game winning streak, while the Warriors are still trying to find their way out West. The hottest team in the sport are the Memphis Grizzlies as they've won 11 in a row, not gaining much ground on a Nuggets team that has won eight straight at the top of the conference. I'll share the latest on the court throughout the Association as most teams are closing in on the 50 games played mark.
(40:56) It's good to see Oilers forward, Evander Kane back from a serious wrist injury as he took a skate blade over it back in November. He was to be out of the lineup for three to four months, but returned a little over two months. I'll get into what's happening on the ice as the Devils are starting to heat up. The Bruins continue to sizzle as the best team in the sport. At this pace, it's Stanley Cup Champs or bust for the B's.
(45:27) We're just two months away from March Madness. I'll review what's going on in college basketball as there have been some big surprises to date, from teams we'd never expect to be in the Top 25.
(50:53) It's been a ho-hum Australian Open so far. Notwithstanding, Rafael Nadal becoming the first major player to be ousted from the tournament in straight sets to Mackenzie McDonald. Is this the beginning of the end for the all-time great?
