The holiday festivities are well behind us. The New Year is in full swing. It’s time to get to work as a big 2025 lies ahead for yours truly, delivering what I do best. Serving up unedited, unapologetic and entertaining sports talk as the latest podcast is here. On deck:
(6:31) The NFL mercifully ended yesterday as it was a regular season to forget. I’ll explain the reasons why in detail on how underwhelming the past 18 weeks have been. I’ll recap the lack of drama over the past two days as there weren’t any interesting developments or teams that snuck into the playoffs. Now, wild card weekend is forthcoming. I’ll share the schedule for the upcoming six games, but will spare the storylines and previews until Thursday’s podcast. Tyreek Hill expressed his frustration after not making the playoffs for the first time in his career, mentioning how he's "out" of Miami. Is a move away from South Beach forthcoming? You’ve already seen a couple of coaches fired (Jarod Mayo in New England, Doug Pederson in Jacksonville.) Are there more to come? What about the state of the Giants?
(30:30) Notre Dame flexed their muscles and beat Georgia to punch their ticket to the semifinals in the college football playoffs. I’ll have a preview and uncover the storylines of the two games on the next podcast as they’ll resume on Thursday night between Notre Dame-Penn State and Friday where Ohio State-Texas will square off. There were a couple of noted injuries that took place, including the Indiana QB Kurtis Roarke, playing the whole year on a torn ACL? And sad news as the father of Georgia coach Kirby Smart, dies from complications of hip surgery after taking a fall on New Year’s Eve at the age of 76.
(37:49) The Jimmy Butler saga unfurled over the weekend as the disgruntled player gets his wish, wanting to be traded and away from the Miami Heat. A deal will be in the works at some point, but it’s not as easy as it seems. Plus, how much does Butler have left? As for on the court, you have a clash of the titans on Wednesday, when the top two teams in each conference will square off in Cleveland as OKC will come to town. Which team do I trust more in the long run? I’ll see what else is happening throughout the Association (WAIT! The return of Kawhi Leonard?) in this first week of the new year.
(58:36) It’s been a quiet week on the ice, but Alexander Ovechkin has been making noise as he scored two goals since we last met. He is now 23 goals away from being the all time goal scoring leader in NHL history. Will he ever slow down? I’ll check on what else is going on as there’ve been a handful of teams that have reached or surpassed the halfway point of the season.
(1:02:56) Don’t look now, MLB fans. Pitchers and catchers report in six weeks. There’s still a couple of name free agents out there (Pete Alonso & Alex Bregman, among others) but there were only minor transactions that took place. Veteran starting pitcher, Charlie Morton signs with the Orioles. INF Cavan Biggio signs a minor league deal with the Royals. That’s been the extent of it as of this moment.
