Huge Laker Win? Or Epic Clipper Loss? LeBron On Cusp Of 40K Points. Brutal Kansas Loss At Home. NHL’s Jets On The Move? MLB’s See Through Uni’s? Save Or Trade Justin Fields? Top RB’s Seeking Payday!
On this special episode considering today is Leap Year (February 29th), I’ll close out another month with top notch sports talk on the eve of the podcast’s sixth anniversary. On deck:
(2:52) As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of the podcast. It goes without saying that I THANK ALL OF YOU, who have supported me since day one or if it was your first day! I appreciate you being a part of this journey as I continue to put forth quality, entertaining content over the next year. I’ll also share a potential partnership that could be official by Monday, so you’ll have to stay tuned to find out more.
(4:19) The Lakers had an enormous fourth quarter comeback win against their cross the hall rival, Clippers. Was it an epic rally by the Lakers? Or a massive collapse by the Clips? Plus, is this going to be a springboard for LeBron & co. (who’s 40 points from reaching 40K points for his career) to move up the standings? What about for the league? Is this a signature game for the Association? Does anyone care? I’ll get into the crazy win by the Cavaliers, with Max Strus’s half court heave to shock the Mavericks. How important is it for the Cavs to shoot for the #2 seed in the East? Luka Doncic erased that loss with a 30 point triple double vs. Toronto on his 25th birthday. Chris Paul returned from his broken left hand to contribute in a win vs. Washington. Can his addition propel them north out West? I’ll even review how my over/under win totals are doing as we’re two thirds into this NBA season.
(27:12) #7 ranked Kansas had an inexplicable home loss vs. BYU earlier this week. Does this bode well for them as we enter the month of March as a team that could go back to a Final Four? It was good to see Duke center Kyle Filipowski return after a scare over the weekend as he was injured in a scrum when the Wake Forest fans stormed the court. #11 Auburn lose on the road at Tennessee. And Texas won in Lubbock vs. Texas Tech, but not without a dustup between two players that led to flagrant fouls, including a technical foul from the CROWD!?
(32:40) As for the NHL, not much has transpired since Monday’s pod. Although the Rangers have tied the Canucks for the most points by a team in the sport. Actually the Rangers have the most wins to date (40). The MVP race is hot and heavy as it could come down to Leafs Auston Matthews, Lightning Nikita Kucherov, Avalanche Nathan MacKinnon or Oilers Connor McDavid. The big news is could we see the Winnipeg Jets leave town at some point down the road, based on some comments by their ownership via the commissioner, Gary Bettman?
(41:48) Do I really have to get into the MLB’s issue with see through uniforms as that was brought up over the past weekend? The Dodgers have made some roster moves, sending Manuel Margot to Minnesota and bringing back utility player, Kike Hernandez. And Shohei Ohtani recently got married as he admitted to add to his first home run of the spring.
(44:47) There have been quite a few things percolating in the NFL this week. The Bears have a huge decision forthcoming as they can trade current QB Justin Fields to bring back a surplus of picks in order to select QB Caleb Williams with the #1 overall pick. Or do they keep Fields and bring back more picks by trading down? I definitely have a lot to say about this. Then you have some high profile running backs (I.e. Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs to name a few) that are looking for big paydays. Considering the pounding they take, will they get their worth when it’s all said and done? Could the Jets file tampering charges against the Chiefs in regards to Mecole Hardman’s recent comments to ‘come get me’ to Chief personnel? They’ve also cut Marques Valdez-Scantling. And have been recently ranked next to last in the NFL as a franchise based on a recent poll. How is this possible?
