Syracuse/Jim Boeheim Part Ways. G'Town/Ewing Next? Suns Hold Breath On KD. NHL's Best Player vs. Best Team. Ravens/Lamar Soap Opera: Who's To Blame? NFL Black Friday: Overkill?
Back at it to close out a week with some intriguing storylines and unapologetic takes with all that the sports world has to offer. On deck:
(3:06) As Conference Championship Week in college basketball to date hasn't given us a big upset or teams that are on the bubble in danger of making the tournament, the sport has said goodbye to longtime Syracuse coach, Jim Boeheim as he walks off into the sunset after 47 years on the Orange bench. I'll take a look back on his stellar career. Is he considered an all-time great? The coaching future of Patrick Ewing at Georgetown will be a story in the coming days. Will there be a parting of the ways after two dreadful seasons in DC?
(19:27) Suns forward Kevin Durant suffered an ankle injury during warm-ups last night. He'll have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. What does this mean for their title hopes? Luka Doncic is nursing a left thigh issue as the Mavericks do their best to stay above the play-in tournament standings. I'll peruse through the rest of the Association as there's a month left in the regular season.
(27:14) It's rare for the NHL to have a regular season must watch, but tonight there is one with the best player in the sport (Oilers Connor McDavid) will face off against the best team (Boston Bruins) up in Beantown. I'll take a trip around the ice to bring you up to speed with all of the races unfolding in both conferences.
(33:21) Some quarterbacks are staying put in the NFL (i.e. Geno Smith with Seattle & Daniel Jones with the Giants) Then there's Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. Why the Ravens front office is half-stepping and not backing up what they've said this offseason about the former MVP? I'll get on my soapbox to delve into Amazon Prime streaming the Black Friday game this year. Why it's complete overkill for the league to broadcast these games on various channels and platforms and how I'm fed up over it!? As for consensus #1 pick in the draft, Jalen Carter to return to the combine following his arrest due to allegations of reckless driving killing a teammate and staff member. How did that come about?
