Diamondbacks Resolve Evens Up World Series. NFL Teams Turning The Corner, 49ers Not As Good As We Think? Oklahoma's Playoff Chances Shot. Bucks Blown Out. McDavid's Return. Fury Ekes By Ngannou
It's that time of the year. The holiday season is upon us. First up, I have plenty of tricks AND treats as Halloween Eve is here. So is the latest podcast as I'll satiate your sports sweet tooth with all that's happening. On deck:
(3:32) We have a World Series to sink our teeth into. The Arizona Diamondbacks have evened up the Fall Classic after experiencing a gut punch of a loss in Game 1 when they led by two runs in the ninth inning. Are the D-backs going to shock the world by sweeping the next three games at home to win a World Series? Will they go back to Texas up 3-2? I'll get into what has transpired and what to possibly expect as the series shifts to Phoenix over the next three days.
(16:38) As we approach the halfway point of the NFL season, the theme for this segment are teams that look like they're making the turn and are primed for a second half run (i.e. Bengals, Jaguars, Seahawks & Ravens) and a team that showed they were the best in the league over the first five weeks of the season (i.e. 49ers) have hit a snag as they're in the middle of a three game losing streak and face an uphill battle to get back to the top of the conference. I'll also take a look at the rest of the Week 8 schedule as we had a full slate with no teams on byes. And the trade deadline is tomorrow. Who goes where? What could shake down over the next 24 hours?
(45:30) Oklahoma has possibly taken themselves out of the college football playoff picture as they suffered a tough loss at Kansas on Saturday. What does the playoff mix looks like as we enter into the month of November?
(49:29) The NBA is off and running. There isn't much to dive into after a few days, unless you're in Milwaukee as the Bucks lost by 17 at home to the Hawks.
(51:41) Reigning MVP Connor McDavid returned to the Oilers lineup earlier than expected as they faced their arch rival Calgary Flames last night in the outdoor Heritage Classic. The rest of the NHL landscape shows that the final unbeaten teams (i.e. Golden Knights, Bruins & Avalanche) all suffered blemishes over the past few days.
(54:54) Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury had a 10 round bout vs. former MMA fighter, Francis Ngannou in a non title match. Ngannou surprised by knocking down the champ, but came up short as the split decision went to the champ. Did Fury take Ngannou lightly or for granted?
