The first month of the new year is just about in the books, but not before one last episode to fulfill your sports fix as best as I possibly can as the latest podcast comes your way. On deck:
(6:22) Have we approached the first Sports Dead Zone of 2025? There isn’t much to sink our teeth into, especially with the Super Bowl ten days away. I’ll touch on the new defensive coordinator in New York to join Aaron Glenn’s staff with the Jets. Chuck Pagano coming out of retirement to be a part of the Ravens defensive staff under John Harbaugh. And Bill Belichick stating that the Vince Lombardi Trophy should be named the Brady Trophy, after his former QB Tom Brady.
(10:54) On the hardwood with the Association, there have been reports of the Sacramento Kings dangling their franchise guard, De’Aaron Fox in trade possibilities between now and the deadline next Thursday. Is that a smart move? Commish Adam Silver is thinking about shortening the NBA game from 12 minutes to 10 minutes a quarter. Is this a good idea? I’ll see what else is out there when it comes anything regarding the NBA as they’re well past the halfway point of the season.
(26:35) The only newsworthy item on the ice, is the Utah Hockey Club trying to choose a name for their team. (It’s a slow sports week, people.) They had to scrap one name and now are in the process of choosing another. How will this unfold with, I think, are some awful considerations (I.e. Mountaineers, Blizzard and Wasatch) Wasatch?! Alex Ovechkin is still at 874 goals, 21 behind Wayne Gretzky all time. How about the Ottawa Senators? They’ve crept up the Atlantic Division standings and have staked a claim of being in the middle of the playoff picture in the East. I’ll peek at what else is going on as another month looms in a long season.
(34:28) College basketball will start to become a part of the podcast until the end of March Madness, which is seven weeks from today. I’ll discuss the dominance of the SEC that has four of the top eight and seven of the top 14 teams in the nation. The re-emergence of St. John’s and the decline of the two time defending champion, UCONN Huskies, who are currently 25th in the nation at the moment. Will they be able to rise toward a three-peat when the time comes?
(44:22) Pitchers and catchers will report for spring training in a couple of weeks plus. Besides a few signings (Carlos Estevez to KC, Ha-Seong Kim to TB and Ryne Stanek re-signs with the Mets) Hal Steinbrenner made a comment about the Dodgers free wheeling offseason and how it’s “difficult” to keep up with them. Is he out of line for saying that, considering they’ve spent a ton of money a month or so ago?
