Get ready for some classic podcasts this week (THREE OF THEM) as I could do these in my sleep with so much to unpack, you won’t know what hit you as the sports world will shift into fifth gear. On deck:

(6:50) They ran out of gas and magic simultaneously. The 2024 New York Mets were unable to meet their crosstown rivals in a Subway Series as they were defeated in the NLCS by the LA Dodgers in six games. What’s next for this franchise as they try to take this team to the next level? As I mentioned, the Yankees punched their ticket over a pesky, gutty Guardians team in five games. It sets the stage for a colossal dream matchup between two old rivals. This is only the beginning, people as Thursday’s podcast will have plenty of breakdown, analysis, predictions and personal investment. What I will discuss here is how baseball is ecstatic over this World Series, but will there be interest throughout the nation over this talent rich Fall Classic?

(37:31) There’s only one remaining undefeated team in the NFL. To no surprise, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. What is a surprise is the output of QB Patrick Mahomes, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns to date. How is this possible? The Vikings lost their first game of the year to the Lions, who have overtaken the NFC North. A puzzling QB change in Pittsburgh comes up roses as Russell Wilson put forth a good three final quarters to run the Jets out of Acrisure Stadium. I’ll also discuss a brutal injury to a depleted 49er offense, the disaster in Cleveland, not just with Deshaun Watson, but the owner wants a domed stadium in a nearby suburb? Saquon Barkley, Packers breathing down the Lions & Vikings necks and much more!

(56:02) A topsy turvy college football regular season continues with Georgia dominating defensively at Texas, moving up three spots in the ranking, where Texas falls back to #5. What about Alabama, losing their second game of the season at Tennessee, but with Missouri and a trip to LSU in the near future, could they not be a part of the college football playoff mix?

(1:03:40) Hoops fan, the NBA tips off tomorrow night. I’ll have a preview of the upcoming 2024-25 year in the morning, but with the Celtics raising their 18th banner to the rafters with the Knicks coming in, on top of Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely for the Clippers to the chagrin of the owner Steve Ballmer who’s opening a brand new crown jewel of a building on Wednesday night (Intuit Dome). I’ll send some kudos to the NY Liberty who won their first WNBA title. Was it amid some controversy in a thrilling Game 5 over Minnesota? And college coach Tony Bennett of Virginia retires due to the “current environment” of the landscape with NIL’s and transfer portals impacting the sport.

(1:14:20) Two weeks into the NHL season, you have some teams that are unbeaten or undefeated (Winnipeg is 5-0) or winless (San Jose is 0-4-2 and Nashville is 0-5) as the play on ice is just warming up.

Mets Magic, Dodgers-Padres Civil War, Guardians Title Worthy? Yanks Unimpressive As LDS Begins. Jets, Niners & Bengals In Trouble? ‘Bama Leads Upset College Saturday. 2024 NHL Preview

I’m about to handle my business and may get a little personal because of what has transpired over the last few days and what’s to come as I roll up my sleeves and share all of the feels in the world of sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:33) After a brief mention of a Cowboys-Steelers matchup that lasted until 1:00am, the hunt for Red October in baseball shifts to a Division Series as the top two seeds are introduced in the AL & NL. First, I have to unpack how the Mets have gotten here. Where does Game 3 in Milwaukee rank in Met history after Pete Alonso’s heroics in the 9th inning? What about their Game 1 comeback of the LDS? And doing it again in Game 2 before losing? There is an issue regarding the magic that this team produced, which I’ll be sure to dissect as they come home with a chance to wrap up the series at Citi Field. There’s an all out battle on the West Coast. The Dodgers win Game 1 behind Shohei Ohtani’s game tying home run early in the contest. The Padres answer with a 10-2 win in Game 2, becoming testy with some of the Padres players and the fans in the stands. How much pressure are the Dodgers to win this series? The Guardians show up and tame the Tigers in their first game. Can they go deep into October and make a run for the title? Then the Yankees had to eke out a win in unimpressive fashion vs. Kansas City. I’ll get the full 30,000 foot view to date of what has taken place and see what lies ahead as we get into the middle of the week. Also, Terry Francona surprised the baseball world as he’s returning from a one year retirement to become the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

(32:45) There are three teams that are facing a crossroads of their NFL season. The Jets lose over in London to fall to 2-3. The 49ers had no business losing at home to Arizona, but also fall a game under .500. And the Bengals could be over and out after squandering a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter to the Ravens, as their record stands at 1-4. Will these teams dig out of their respective holes to qualify for the playoffs in January? Of course, I’ll get into all of the craziness yesterday throughout the league, including my beloved Steelers whose defense were unable to answer Dak Prescott in the closing minutes of a gut punch of a loss against the Cowboys. And a belated farewell to Mercury Morris, the former Dolphin running back of the undefeated team back in 1972, who died a couple of weeks ago at the age of 77.

(57:25) If you thought the NFL had a crazy Sunday, college football said, I’ve got something for you. There were five major upsets in the sport, headlined by #1 Alabama losing to Vanderbilt. You also had #9 Missouri get whacked by #25 Texas A&M. Arkansas topping #4 Tennessee. #10 Michigan losing a championship rematch in Washington to the Huskies and USC gets stymied by Minnesota. What do these losses mean in the grand scheme of college football playoff things?

(1:05:27) The puck has already dropped on the NHL season with two games that the New Jersey Devils won in Prague vs. the Buffalo Sabres, but I’ll unpack the top storylines, over/under point totals, surprises, disappointments and a Stanley Cup Final prediction as the curtain will raise in earnest tomorrow night.

(1:24:21) Alex Pereira retained his light heavyweight title at UFC 307 in a tussle that turned out to be more than what it was, stopping Khalil Rountree in the fourth round on Saturday night.

Rumbling, bumbling and fumbling through the last podcast of the month, after being AWOL on Thursday, you know I’ll show out as best as I could to unpack all that’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:

(6:45) I’d be remiss if I didn’t apologize for not releasing a podcast last Thursday. To those who were curious or wondering what happened? I’ll explain here and share why and how it all transpired.

(8:44) To my fellow Met fans, let’s exhale. Today, they have two games to play, but all we want AND need is just one victory. ONE! Why? Because one win will qualify for the postseason and complete the unexpected run to a berth in October. I’ll unpack the NL Wild Card playoff scenario as the Mets will play a doubleheader in Atlanta to finalize the bracket, which will commence tomorrow either in San Diego, Milwaukee, or dare I say, home! I’ll preview the AL Wild Card (KC-BAL & DET-HOU) with intriguing storylines heading into the first round of the MLB playoffs. I’ll also get into some news and notes throughout the sport (Reds manager OUT in Cincinnati. Same in Miami with Skip Schumaker. The White Sox lose a record 121 games. Rockies OF Charlie Blackmon retiring and the A’s final game in Oakland.)

(34:11) NFL Week 4 wasn’t much to write home about. My takeaways from yesterday? Are the Ravens ‘that team’ after demolishing the previously undefeated Bills last night? Could this Jet team face some turmoil after another brutal loss at home to Denver? Do the Steelers have their QB of the present and future after another solid performance by Justin Fields? The week wraps up with another Monday night doubleheader this evening. Does anyone else like the double dip in primetime? Or just stick to the one game?

(57:11) Alabama averted an epic disaster to their rival Georgia at home on Saturday night in what turned out to be a classic. Are the Crimson Tide on the inside track to be a title contender? I’ll discuss the two bad losses to top teams (#6 Ole Miss and #10 Utah) on Saturday and one that survived a Hail Mary (#8 Miami) vs. VA Tech.

(1:06:08) NBA training camps open today as the NBA season begins three weeks from tomorrow. A blockbuster trade took place on Friday where the Knicks acquired Minnesota big man, Karl Anthony Towns comes to New York, fortifying a roster built to get to an NBA Finals. Is Towns the final piece to their championship puzzle? Former MVP, Derrick Rose calls it a career after a 16 year run in the Association. Is he bound for the Hall of Fame?

Raven Domination, But Beware! Controversy In Dallas. Are The Eagles Done? Michigan Pressure/Washington High Flying Offense In CF Playoff. Pistons Halt Record Streak. Braves Gamble On Sale

It's a NEW YEAR! There's lots of promise, excitement and a renewed sense of faith as yours truly has big plans for the upcoming year when it comes to the podcast, as I deliver the very first one on the first day of 2024. On deck:

(3:03) A new year has arrived as I'm excited about where the podcast is going and what it will have to offer in 2024. You'll have to keep your fingers on the pulse and stay tuned to find out what to expect here as I've got a lot coming up the pike, especially during this first quarter of the year. So you won't want to miss out on this news.

(5:13) With just one week to go in the regular season, the Baltimore Ravens are showing the rest of the NFL that they could be the team to beat when it's all said and done. They destroyed the Miami Dolphins in a 56-19 drubbing yesterday at home. Is this team on the fast track to winning a Super Bowl? On the flip side, I'll discuss how the Dolphins have fallen pretty far from being a top team in the league, but now have to fight tooth and nail to win a division come Sunday vs. the Bills. There was some big time controversy in Dallas on Saturday night as it looked like the Lions were going to walk out of AT&T Stadium with a big road win. Instead, a terrible call by the officials on the winning two-point conversion ended up being incomplete after a few tries as the Cowboys sweat out a one point win. What has happened to the Philadelphia Eagles? They were defeated by the Arizona Cardinals in what turned out to be a death knell for the Eagles. Can they rebound in time to have a long playoff run? I'll discuss my beloved Steelers chances to see if they can get one of the final playoff spots in the AFC. I'll go over all that went down in Week 17, unpack all of the playoff possibilities as we head into the final weekend of the NFL regular season.

(42:32) College football will have their last four game playoff as Alabama will face Michigan in the first game, where the nightcap will see Texas-Washington square off. I'll preview both games and who may possibly meet in the National Championship next Monday night in Houston.

(49:26) Break up the Detroit Pistons. They finally break a lengthy 28 game losing streak against the Raptors on Saturday night. Is it possible that they can avoid the worst NBA record during an 82 game regular season in history? There was a surprise trade as the Knicks & Raptors exchanged players with OG Anunoby going to NY and RJ Barrett & Immanuel Quickley moving North of the Border. I'll take a peek on what else has transpired in the Association over the weekend.

(56:22) Every January 1st, the NHL showcases the Winter Classic which'll be played in Seattle with the Vegas Golden Knights coming to T-Mobile Park. Is there a lot of interest from the casual or good sports fan? The Rangers have been hot in the Metropolitan Division as they're the first team to get to 50 points so far this season.

(58:12) The Atlanta Braves continue to procure talent this offseason, doing their best to keep pace with what the Dodgers have done to this point. They've acquired former Red Sox ace Chris Sale for INF Vaughn Grissom. Is this a huge risk with the oft-injured Sale over the past few years?

Dolphins Enormous Test In Baltimore. Russell Wilson Era Over In Denver? Early Preview Of College Football Playoff. Historically Bad Pistons Could Get Worse? NHL Winter Classic: Does Anyone Care?

Wrapping up another year of the podcast as I present the final episode of 2023 with all that's happening in sports. On deck:

(3:03) I have to start off with saying THANK YOU to those who've listened, followed and supported me over the past year and beyond. 2024 will be an epic one! That's a promise!

(3:53) With Monday being the first of the year, I'll produce and post a podcast as of right this moment. Stay tuned to my YouTube channel (link below) for any scheduling changes.

(4:39) This is an enormous week if you're the Miami Dolphins. They pay a visit to Baltimore in what will be a battle for the top seed in the AFC. Can the Dolphins finally get the respect and win a big road game? There's an interesting development that took place in Denver with the benching of Russell Wilson. Is this the last time we'll see the former Super Bowl winning QB in a Broncos uniform? I'll get into the other key matchups, what to look forward to in Week 17 as we're just ten days away from the conclusion of the regular season.

(29:50) The College Football Playoff is on the horizon. I'll delve into the top storylines heading into the doubleheader with Michigan-Arizona being the first game, followed by Texas-Washington in the nightcap. How much pressure is on the Wolverines to finally get to a championship game? Is Alabama playing with house money? Will Washington-Texas be a high scoring shootout?

(36:19) In the Association, the Detroit Pistons made history. They broke the all time losing streak of 26 games with a loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Is it possible that they could break the all time record (9-73) by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers? I'll see what else is going on throughout the NBA as we're still a few weeks away from the halfway point of the season.

(43:28) The NHL will have their day in the sun as they'll have their annual Winter Classic in Seattle on January 1st. Will anyone watch? Does anyone care? Plus, there was a Stanley Cup Final rematch last Saturday between the Vegas Golden Knights-Florida Panthers. Why didn't the league showcase or highlight this game? I'll have that and anything else that's happening on the ice.

(49:05) MLB has had a rather ice cold offseason (despite the Juan Soto trade to the Yankees and the Dodgers signing of Shohei Ohtani & Yoshinobu Yamamoto) There have been a few transactions over the past few days (including the Yankees trading another young, promising prospect), but little to no news about top free agents Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger and Jordan Montgomery, to name a few.

SEC Bias Tops FLA State's Perfection As Committee Selects Alabama For Playoffs. 49ers Flex Muscle, Crowded AFC Playoff Picture. NBA Cup Week Buzz? Braves Continue Retool As Winter Meetings Begin

December is in full bloom as so is the latest podcast as I have plenty to unpack after a wild few days in the world of sports. On deck:

(2:42) The semifinals in college football are set, but not without some controversy. Alabama played an excellent game vs. two time defending champ, riding a 29 game winning streak to beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. It paved the way for the committee to have them leapfrog over an undefeated Florida State team and into the college football playoff as they chose an SEC powerhouse, opposed to an unbeaten Seminole squad looking to get back to prominence in the sport. I'll dissect this whole scenario from soup to nuts, have an early preview of the matchups between Alabama-Michigan & Texas-Washington as the bowl season will be upon us in the next week and a half.

(19:50) A colossal confrontation in Philadelphia yesterday was anything but that. The San Francisco 49ers showed the NFC and the rest of the league they mean business as they took the Eagles to the back of the woodshed in a 42-19 win. Are they the NFL's best? I have to throw some cold water on that as I've explained this in past podcasts, but has to be reiterated as to as good of a team they are, they are far from perfect. I'll get into what's becoming a muddled AFC playoff picture from top to bottom as the Chiefs slip in the conference, the Dolphins move to the top and before the night is done, Jacksonville push Miami out of the way as a #1 seed. An awful Steelers performance against a 2-10 Arizona Cardinals team, with a short week and a Thursday night date with a team even WORSE in the New England Patriots. You know I'm not a happy camper and have a ton to say about this. I'll peek at an up to the second review of the NFC, all that transpired on the schedule as we're on the cusp of the final four games of the regular season. NOTE: I stated that the coach of the Indianapolis Colts is Scott Steichen, it's Shane Steichen. My apologies for the error.

(47:52) Are you ready for the first ever NBA Cup? The quarterfinals begin tonight as there'll be four games tonight, four tomorrow, the semifinals on Thursday, culminating in the championship game on Saturday night. I'll bluntly state what the Association is hoping, PRAYING for, when it comes who they'd love to see in the final? Plus, Kevin Durant reaches lofty status when it comes to scoring all time in league history. Luka Doncic's monster effort after the birth of his first child (with a 30-0 run in the middle of it), but LOST! And anything else happening as I'll see what the rest of the league is doing in the midst of this in-season tournament.

(56:54) A couple of key injuries highlight what's going on in the NHL. The Devils lose one of their top defenseman (Dougie Hamilton) for an extended period of time. Same for the Avalanche's Cale Makar, although the extent of how long he'll be out in unknown at this time. And give it up to Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry who made history when he scored a goal the other night vs. Tampa Bay. I'll check what else is happening on the ice as they're past the quarter pole of their season.

(59:53) The Winter Meetings has commenced in Nashville when it comes to the MLB Hot Stove. The Atlanta Braves continue their low key, but effective off-season doing their best to retool a team that's already stacked. They acquired former Mets prospect and Seattle Mariner OF Jarred Kelenic in a deal involving prospects. The Milwaukee Brewers have put all of their chips in the basket of their 19 year old CF Jackson Chourio before he's played a game in the majors with an eight year/82 million dollar deal. Will the next couple of days deliver a deal for Shohei Ohtani? Yoshinobu Yamamoto? What about a team inquiring about Juan Soto? Or Pete Alonso? You know I'll have my fingers on the pulse when it comes to some wheeling and dealing in baseball.

College Football Playoff Spots On The Line As WSH/Georgia On Notice. 49ers-Eagles Epic NFC Clash. Rodgers Return? New Owner Syndrome In CAR. Done With NBA In-Season Tourney. MLB Winter Meetings

With the last month of the year knocking on the door, I'll close out November with lots of fire and passion as the sports world heats up with all that's going on in the latest edition of the pod. On deck:

(3:36) It comes down to this. If you're a college football fan, this should be a great couple of days as we'll find out who'll qualify for the Final Four and secure a spot on New Year's Day to compete for a chance to play in the National Championship. To me, it boils down to what happens in the Oregon-Washington & Alabama-Georgia games. I'll preview and break down all of the permutations of what teams can get in and what teams deserve to make it, based on the outcomes of the aforementioned games above.

(17:07) There is an epic showdown on the horizon that'll take place in the NFL on Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers will pay a visit to Philadelphia in a rematch of the NFC Title Game from last year. This'll have major implications when it comes to home field throughout for the conference. I'll dissect what this'll mean for the Niners if they win, same for the Eagles as this is by far the best game of a bad lot on the schedule in Week 12. I'll also get into Jets QB Aaron Rodgers returning back to the practice field as he's been cleared to participate in light drills. If healthy, should he play? Then you have the scenario is Carolina where the owner, David Tepper, fired coach Frank Reich after 11 games. I'll uncover why this guy has 'new owner syndrome' and can't help himself when it comes to operating his business into the ground.

(38:54) Is anyone else done with the NBA In-Season Tournament? I sure am. When you have players questioning the integrity of the sport and teams having to run up the score for point differential in order to qualify, I have a major problem with that. There's also a situation in Oklahoma City regarding Josh Giddey having an alleged relationship with a minor, which is being investigated. Is it too early to say that punishment will be handed down to the Thunder guard? The Magic continue to play well as they've ascended in the East to date. What's going on in Golden State as they've lost eight of their last ten? Is there something underlying that's happening behind the scenes that we don't know? Also, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is giving up a majority of his franchise as casino moguls from Las Vegas will take over, although he'll still be involved in the day to day activities for the team. I didn't see this coming.

(50:33) The NHL had a couple of newsworthy notes this week. Dean Evason was let go as coach of the Minnesota Wild as they snapped a seven game losing streak with new coach, John Hynes. Patrick Kane has found a new home as he inked a one year deal in Detroit. And longtime player Corey Perry was found the door as he was dismissed from the Chicago Blackhawks due to conduct inappropriate to the team.

(54:41) Baseball fans, the hot stove may start to heat up over the next few days. I'll get into the names that have been thrown around in the rumor mill (i.e. Dylan Cease, Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani to name a few) some players who have signed to date (Sonny Gray with STL) and ask why did the Mets sign former Yankee pitcher Luis Severino?

Eagles Grit, Resilience Shows Why They're NFL's Best. Buckeye Bust, Crimson Tide Miracle, Huskies Survive In Wild College Saturday. Magic Spell In NBA East/In-Season Tourney Update

Full from Thanksgiving leftovers? Well I have plenty of sports leftovers as there is quite a bit to chew on to get you past a holiday weekend and prepare for the final month of the year. On deck:

(2:34) As December looms with the final four games of the regular season approaching, there's no argument as to who is the best team in the NFL as of today. The Philadelphia Eagles came from behind yet again to beat Buffalo at home in a thrilling overtime matchup. I'll discuss their intestinal fortitude, how last year's Super Bowl loss has fueled them this season and have a mano a mano NFC Title Game rematch vs. San Francisco this coming Sunday. I'll go through the Week 12 slate and unpack the Steelers new look offense, a tough Lions loss on Thanksgiving which has big ramifications in the NFC, a slog for a subpar division winner in the NFC South, a Bronco uprising over the last few weeks as they're over .500 and the Browns defense that was Super Bowl worthy? Ha! I'll have all of that and much more as the NFL continue to heat up.

(35:49) You couldn't have asked for a better college football Saturday as you've had some wild and crazy endings with Ohio State-Michigan, Alabama-Auburn and Washington State-Washington as all three games had postseason implications in which the Buckeyes disappointed down the stretch. The Crimson Tide converted a miraculous 4th down from the Tigers 31 yard line (that's not a typo) and the Huskies survived by kicking a game winning field goal as time expired as they were victorious vs. the Cougars. It sets up what will be a conference championship weekend to remember as these teams will battle it out to potentially reach a playoff come January 1st.

(45:29) Is anyone into the NBA In Season Tournament? I can't say I have, but one team that's been impressive during the first quarter of the season are the Orlando Magic. They're in the middle of a seven game winning streak and among the heavyweights of the Eastern Conference at the moment. Is this sustainable? Do they belong with the Celtics, Bucks and Sixers?

(51:54) The New York Rangers were able to put a hurting on the Boston Bruins this past Saturday with a 7-4 win at home. Are they a threat to the Bruins in the East?

(56:08) MLB Hot Stove fans are still waiting for it to heat up as not much has happened over the last week or so. Unless you're excited about the Mariners trading 3B Eugenio Suarez to Arizona. The Tigers signing P Kenta Maeda and the Padres hiring former Cardinals manager, Mike Shildt to patrol an underachieving, high priced ball club.

Remembering 9/11. Cowboys/49ers Dominant. Lions/Dolphins Heroic. Bengals/Steelers/Giants Awful Cap NFL Week 1. Is Alabama Done? Mike Trout On Trade Block? Coco, Novak Open Champs. Shocking MMA Upset

On a day that this country will never forget, I'll do my best to get us through a busy past few days in the sports world as I share with you the latest podcast. On deck:

(2:50) I'll reflect on a day that us as a nation we'll sadly always remember. My experience of the attack on lower Manhattan as I was just a few blocks from both planes that struck the World Trade Center and how that day impacted me and the rest of us as I revisit that horrific incident 22 years ago today.

(9:36) As I transition to the toy department of life, Week 1 of the NFL arrived with plenty to unpack, especially when it comes to my winners (i.e. Detroit, Miami and Green Bay) and losers (i.e. Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and NY Giants) I'll get into the Cowboys dismantling of the Giants in their building. Same for the Niners putting it on the Steelers. What about QB Brock Purdy? He continues his winning ways, but I have a thought on something that we haven't seen yet from Mr. Irrelevant when thrust in a big pressure spot that hasn't been discussed. I'll recap all of that transpired yesterday and Thursday night, with a look ahead to tonight's Monday night matchup between the Bills-Jets.

(36:11) Are the Alabama Crimson Tide already out of the college football playoff discussion? A surprising loss at home against the Texas Longhorns has them behind the eight-ball just two weeks into this season on whether or not they'll end up as one of the final four to play for a national championship. Also, the big story in the sport is what's happening in Boulder, CO as the Buffaloes have gotten off to a 2-0 start behind coach Deion Sanders. They have a trap game against their in-state rival Colorado St. this week, with games against Oregon and USC after that. Is a possible letdown in order?

(43:25) We're down to the final three weeks in the baseball season. A developing story coming out of Anaheim has the front office approaching Mike Trout to discuss a possible trade for the future Hall of Famer. Where will he go? How much will the Angels pay the whopping $245 million that's owed to him? And what will they get in return? Don't look now, but the Houston Astros are in first place in the AL West. Why it's important for them to win the division this year? I'll cover the rest of the baseball landscape, especially the AL East race, as well as, the NL Wild Card race as we down to the final 20-ish games of the year.

(56:10) Coco Gauff finally wins her first ever Grand Slam title as she's the US Open Champ on the women's side. While it's the same old song on the men's side as Novak Djokovic secures his 24th Slam championship, defeating Daniil Medvedev in straight sets, stamping his approval of who the GOAT is in tennis all time.

(1:00:44) A shocking upset in MMA happened Saturday night as middleweight Israel Adesanya was unable to beat fill-in and handpicked opponent Sean Strickland, losing by decision. Is a rematch forthcoming where Adesanya can exact some revenge?

Epic NFL Week 18 Finale! Playoff Storylines & Super Wild Card Preview! Can Bulldogs Slay The Tide? Kyrie & Klay Returns! Are BK & GS Favorites? Novak No-Visa?

The sports New Year is off to a flying start as I'll be sure to fulfill your appetite and more as Episode #232 is served. On deck:

(4:52) The NFL season FINALLY concluded after a laborious and not as exciting campaign, but Week 18 did not disappoint as I highlight the winners (San Francisco, Pittsburgh & yours truly. I explain) and losers (Indianapolis & LA Chargers). Today is Black Monday throughout the league for coaches losing their jobs. I'll share who got the pink slip, who should be dismissed and a shocker down in Miami as Brian Flores gets the axe. There are a few juicy playoff storylines that I'll divulge as the chase for the Vince Lombardi Trophy begins. I'll preview all of the Super Wild Card Games this upcoming weekend, with predictions to get you ready for the postseason.

(51:48) A national champion will be crowned in college football as Georgia vs. Alabama meet yet again in a title setting. Will the Bulldogs come to slay the Alabama dragon?

(59:38) A couple of debuts by some former NBA All-Stars that will have a major say in how far each of their teams will go this year. Kyrie Irving had a nice opening game in Indiana as he re-builds camaraderie with his teammates in Brooklyn. But the bigger story was what took place in San Francisco as Warriors guard Klay Thompson returned for the first time in over two and a half years. Is he the final piece to put the Dubs over the top in the West? Also, should we take the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant seriously? I'll sprinkle in the latest in college basketball as both Duke and Kansas lost last week, which'll drop them down in the polls, while Baylor still resides as the #1 team in the country.

(1:11:00) As the Australian Open is on the horizon, defending champion Novak Djokovic has been in a brouhaha with the authorities regarding entry into the country with a valid visa. Who was in the wrong during this process?

(1:15:12) There was a low key retirement that didn't get much publicity in the MLB a week or so ago. And there goes Mets owner, Steve Cohen again. They end up hiring a hitting coach away from their crosstown rivals, the Yankees. How did this go down? Is this a shot fired across the bow to their nemesis in the Bronx?

(1:19:58) More games are postponing and not a lot of games that are being rescheduled at the moment. That's life in the NHL at this point of their season. I'll zip through what's happening on the ice as I make the turn to close out with...

(1:24:05) ...my Hero and Zero of the Week.

NFL Sleepwalks Into Final Week. 'Bama & Bulldogs Cakewalk To Rematch. Nets 'Attitude Adjustment'? NHL's 'Frozen' Classic Highlights Rough Stretch

Storming into 2022 with the same passion and fire of 2021 and beyond, delivering all that's happening in the world of sports as Episode #231 is ready to set your earbuds or speakers ablaze. On deck:

(3:50) The NFL season is just a week away from concluding, (Thank goodness! Don't worry, I'll explain) this 'biggest year ever' hasn't lived up to the billing as I'll get into my winners (Arizona & Las Vegas) and losers (Miami & Antonio Brown. A lot to unpack here, but I'm taking a different stance than the usual talking heads) of Week 17. I'll also discuss a bit of the following: the development of Jaguars QB, Trevor Lawrence. The Rams getting out of Baltimore with a huge win to move up in the NFC. The Chiefs fall to the surging Bengals. I'll get into a not so exciting Week 18 schedule and all of the up to the minute playoff possibilities in both conferences. I'll also spend a moment on the recent passings of legendary coach/broadcaster, John Madden (Plus, an interesting encounter that I had with him several years ago.) And former Broncos, Giants and Falcons coach, Dan Reeves.

(48:05) The College Football Playoff did not live up to expectations as both games were duds. Cincinnati didn't embarrass themselves but were no match for Alabama, while Georgia steamrolled over Michigan to set up another rematch between the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs. I'll have a thought or two on the storylines of the National Championship Game. Will Georgia exorcise the Alabama demons and defeats of the past.

(55:23) The Association is acting like a slow cook crock pot, while the Bulls have heated up with a seven game winning streak to the top spot of the Eastern Conference. The Nets have stubbed their toe recently due to some poor performances to where they need an 'attitude adjustment'. Is there truth to that? The Cavaliers lose point guard, Ricky Rubio to an ACL injury. They bring in former Laker, Rajon Rondo to fill his role. Is this a blessing? Or a curse for a young Cavs team? Also, the NBA suffers another loss with one of their great players as Sam Jones passed away over the weekend as we reflect on his life and career.

(1:04:04) All is quiet on the college basketball front as Baylor still resides at the top of the rankings for a fourth straight week.

(1:04:37) The Winter Classic was in full effect Saturday night in Minneapolis as the temperature was six below zero from the start as the Blues beat the Wild for their league's annual event to kick off the year. Other than that, teams are still trying to recover from a week off due to COVID interfering with the schedule. For the most part, things are in catch up mode as they look forward to making up these games over the 'Olympic break'.

(1:08:24) To wrap up, I'll have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Roll Tide! College Football Playoff Storylines. Loaded AFC, Week 12 Winners & Losers. MLB Armageddon Has Begun. Suns Peak at 18! Tiger's Return?

December is off to a tremendous sports start and here to share my thoughts, opinions and analysis of it all as Episode #227 is full of passion and fire that you won't hear anywhere else. On deck:

(5:40) The end of a very intriguing college football regular season came to a close where it's a movie that we've seen plenty over the years. The Alabama Crimson Tide are riding high from their dismantling of the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game. What does this victory mean for this 'Bama team? What about the psyche of Georgia? I'll recap this game, Oklahoma State's brutal loss to Baylor, Michigan's thrashing of Iowa and Cincinnati keeping their unbeaten season alive as I'll showcase each of the Final Four teams storylines as we sit and wait for the college football playoff on New Year's Eve. Lastly, I'll chime in on some of the coaching changes that took place (i.e. USC, LSU & Oklahoma) and was it right for Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly to leave their teams hanging for greener pastures?

(37:44) Week 13 in the NFL was, ehhhh! You had a couple of fantastic finishes in Detroit and Pittsburgh, but not a lot of shocks or surprises as I discuss my winners (Chargers & Lions) and losers (49ers & Broncos) of the week. I'll preview how important of a Monday night game it is for the Buffalo Bills as they face off vs. New England. I'll share my thoughts on a jam packed AFC as 12 teams are still alive in the playoff race. I'll get into how rabid yours truly gets when watching a Ravens-Steelers game and how that game came down to the wire. Of course, I'll look ahead into Week 14 as there are some good matchups on the schedule as we inch closer to the conclusion of the regular season.

(1:08:16) The MLB offseason has been put on ice as the collective bargaining agreement has expired. What now? What is the issue between the players and owners? Are the owners hypocrites for doling out huge deals to date, when they're trying to cut costs? I'll get into it all, even come up with a possible timeframe for when this should be done if they plan on getting next season started on time AND what does this mean for players like Freddie Freeman, Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, Kris Bryant who haven't signed as of yet?

(37:44) Week 13 in the NFL was, ehhhh!

(1:19:25) The Phoenix Suns were shining bright as they were able to pull off an 18 game winning streak. No NBA Finals hangover for Chris Paul & company. Can they continue to put the pressure and threaten the Warriors and get back to another Finals appearance? And what happened to the Oklahoma City Thunder? They lost by how many to a Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies team? You know I've got a couple of things to say about this. There been a couple of key injuries (i.e. Damian Lillard & Bam Adebayo) to the Blazers and Heat. Also, have the Knicks started to bottom out after a 5-1 start?

(1:25:53) There's a new #1 in college basketball as Duke loses to Ohio State last week, so the Purdue Boilermakers step up to the top spot in a pretty topsy turvy start to the college basketball season.

(1:27:40) A couple of coaches have walked the plank in the NHL in Vancouver & Philadelphia. (i.e. Travis Green & Alain Vigneault) and the Islander losing streak (11) has reached new lows. Is it too late for them to dig out of this crater that they've caused?

(1:30:01) Tiger Woods was in the news as he had a press conference last week to discuss his recovery, how grateful he is and when can we see him back on the golf course?

(1:33:32) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Colts Conundrum, Ravens Revenge, Steelers Stinker & The Rest Of NFL Wild Card Weekend, 'Bama-Buckeye Preview, NBA Confronts COVID, Mets/Lindor: Series Bound? NHL Raises Curtain

Settling into the New Year while I dissect the sports universe as Episode 173 is ready for takeoff! On deck:

(3:23) Not the wildest of Wild Card weekends that the NFL was hoping for, but tons to delve into on the Colts unable to capitalize in Buffalo, the Rams ‘D’ thwart Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, Washington QB Taylor Heinecke upstages the Buccaneers victory. The Ravens get some payback, the Saints were slow, yet methodical in the second half vs. the Bears (also Nickolodeon, NFL? Really?) And the debacle in Pittsburgh as they dug themselves a big hole that they couldn’t get out of vs. the Browns. I’ll also take the temperature of the Steeler organization after another putrid home playoff performance. A State of the Union, if you will on their free agents, Big Ben close to the end? Coach Mike Tomlin’s postseason record and more, that any Steeler fan wouldn’t want to miss. Plus, my Divisional Round preview with predictions, coaching news and Deshaun Watson’s frustration in Houston.

(59:49) A preview of tonight’s National Title Game between Ohio State vs. Alabama. What will it take for the Buckeyes to upset the Crimson Tide? Also, an apology to Heisman Trophy winner, DeVonta Smith.

(1:02:51) The NBA confronting with coronavirus running through the league. Is there a possible pause to the season forthcoming? The Clippers latest collapse and LaMelo Ball’s record setting achievement.

(1:08:24) Breaking down the NCAA’s decision to keep the entire March Madness tournament in the state of Indiana.

(1:10:25) An NHL season begins on Wednesday with news on the realigned divisions being sponsored. A retirement from a Stanley Cup winning goaltender and a thought of who I feel will be in the Stanley Cup Final?

(1:17:15) The Mets trade for star infielder, Francisco Lindor. Does that make the Mets Series contenders? Is he the final piece to the puzzle? Kyle Schwarber finds a home and what happened in LA with the Angels and their former clubhouse attendant, providing doctored baseballs to opposing pitchers?

(1:24:07) Lastly, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Saints/Chiefs Stymied Among NFL Week 10 Storylines. Is Alabama Out of CFP? Will MLB Have Another Slow Off-Season? Plus, NBA & NHL Updates

Zooming through the sports landscape as I deliver (Episode 98) and all that happened this past week. Here’s what I got for you.

A lay of the NFL land through Week 10 as I discuss the Saints laying a huge egg at home, to the Falcons, no less. The Chiefs in Patrick Mahomes’s return lose to the Titans on the road. Lamar Jackson’s bid for MVP on the heels of a putrid NFL team in Cincinnati. The Steelers have come all the way back from an 0-3 start to put themselves in control of their own destiny for the AFC playoff race. Do the Browns have gas in the tank? Has the clock struck twelve for the Bills? I’ll have all of that for you, and then some, with a look ahead to Week 11.

LSU vs. Alabama was entertaining, but not the classic that people are making it out to be. I’ll recap the stars of this epic showdown, with the more important question. Will Alabama make the College Football Playoff this year?

The GM Meetings begin in Arizona today as the MLB Hot Stove will start to heat up. Could this be another slow off-season for the over 130 free agents to be making their way to new destinations?

I’ll also highlight the week that was on the ice (NHL) and on the hardwood (NBA)

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The Jets season has reached its’ nadir, squandering a fourth quarter lead en route to their sixth straight loss at Tennessee. Who’s to blame for this recent disaster?

The Giants almost squandered a 10 point lead with less than two minutes remaining but held on in OT to upset the Bears at home. Is Eli Manning playing his final few games in a Giant uniform? What about Odell Beckham’s comments after he didn’t stretch out for the ball during an onside kick?

The clocks are turned back. The days are shorter. Fall is in full swing and November has arrived as I deliver all that’s going on in the world of sports on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast.
