Inching closer to September as we’re just two weeks away from Labor Day, but right now it’s about delivering another passion fueled podcast to cover all of what’s happening in sports. On deck:
(2:55) Some housekeeping right out of the gate. The latest vlog is up on my YouTube channel, Escape To Florida, Part 1: Orlando, which I implore you to please give it a view as you’ll get a more personal side of yours truly. Of course, the promo for OLIPOP soda. Please see above for more.
(7:00) Is baseball possibly staring at a barren wasteland this time next month? I’ll dissect what I see when it comes to a potential Sleepy September, especially in the AL/NL Wild Card races.
(29:06) With the preseason schedule coming to a close by the end of the week, should I be startled by the Pittsburgh Steelers lack of execution on offense? What about the progress of NY Giants QB, Daniel Jones. Plus, a couple of signings (Justin Simmons in ATL & Stephon Gilmore in MIN) paved the way for what took place in the NFL this past weekend.
(39:54) The NBA schedule has been released. Opening night should be compelling as we’ll see where the NY Knicks stack against the defending champion, Boston Celtics. Also, the Christmas Day slate, even with the NFL’s intruding on the Association’s party, as I’ll break down what those two days mean to the hoops fan.
(48:01) Saturday night was a huge UFC fight that fizzled in my eyes as Dricus DuPlessis submits Israel Adesanya in the fourth round, while Adesanya had been winning the match at that point.
(52:22) There will be a couple of omissions to the US Open lineup, which begins next week. Marketa Vondrousova and Cam Norrie are out with injuries. Same to Rafael Nadal, as we know. And Carlos Alcaraz unravels in a known tournament in Cincninati as a tune up to what’ll take place at Flushing Meadows in the final Grand Slam of the year.
