From Super Sunday to Stupor Monday as many fans are sad to see football go. Not this guy. Wait til you get a load out of what I have to say regarding that and plenty more when it comes to the sports world as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:47) I open the podcast with a very unpopular opinion on this past NFL season. I share my deepest thoughts on how much the league has maneuvered, how the 17 game season and postseason was a flop, which leads to last night’s debacle in New Orleans where the Eagles fly high to destroy the Chiefs chances to three-peat. What about the news of Aaron Rodgers’s likelihood of not coming back to the Jets yesterday on the biggest day of the sport? I’ll get into Kellen Moore, the 2025 Hall of Fame class, Josh Allen’s MVP, Deebo Samuel wants out of SF as we put a lid on the 2024 season. The health of Randy Moss. And a couple of passings with former coach Dick Jauron and Bears owner Virginia Halas McCaskey transition at the ages of 74 and 102, respectively.

(35:38) Turning my attention to the NBA, where we witnessed the good, great, bad and ugly of Anthony Davis’s first game in Dallas. How long will he be out of the lineup? Could this end up as one of the worst trades in NBA history? I’ll unpack Jimmy Butler’s first game in Golden State. Giannis’s injury. Same for Joel Embiid. The return of OKC’s Chet Holmgren. Hubie Brown’s final broadcast. The Laker trade for a big man was rescinded. Nate Robinson’s new lease on life. Ben Simmons gets bought out. Where did he end up? And are the Knicks paper tigers? Will Karl Anthony Towns bounce back from a pathetic performance on Saturday vs. Boston?

(54:32) Is St. John’s back in college basketball? Forty years ago, they were the #1 team in the nation. Rick Pitino has made some huge strides over the past two years. Can they have a deep tournament run? How about Florida upsetting the top ranked team in the nation in Auburn?

(59:28) On the ice, there’ll be a 10-12 day layoff for the NHL to have their 4 Nations Face-Off to replace the All Star Game this year. Will I be into it? Plus, Alex Ovechkin gets closer to topping Wayne Gretzky’s all time goal scoring record. Is it getting the attention that this story deserves?

(1:04:17) Pitchers and catchers will be reporting throughout MLB by the end of the week. Is it too early to get wrapped up in spring and a forthcoming baseball season?

A new month has arrived, same for a new week, who knows if spring will arrive early on this day after Groundhog Day, but one thing is certain, that your favorite little podcast host will have a lot to dive into when it comes to what’s going on in sports as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:49) It took the NBA and the entire sports universe by surprise. The late night trade between the Mavericks and Lakers sending Luka Doncic to LA, with Anthony Davis going to Dallas, among other players and draft picks. Did Luka fall out of favor in Dallas? Is AD the final piece to a championship puzzle? Were other teams involved? It was shocking, to say the least to have two All NBA players traded in season. I’ll also discuss the Kings trading De’Aaron Fox to San Antonio in a three team deal. Does it automatically make them a playoff team? I’ll check in on Jimmy Butler’s situation and another trade that took place as the deadline is Thursday at 3pm. I’ll see who’s been playing well and keep you abreast of the latest on the hardwood.

(32:32) Super Bowl LIX is now six days away. I’ll uncover the top storylines, oh wait, other than Saquon Barkley and no Jason Kelce, are there any other angles to sink our teeth into considering these squads played against one another two year ago? Pete Carroll finds an offensive coordinator to run the ship in Vegas. You may be surprised who it is.

(37:31) College basketball is starting to hit its stride as March Madness will be here before you know it. I’ll recap the week that was (Iowa State loses at home for the first time in forever, Duke’s Cooper Flagg shows complete arsenal vs. UNC, Kansas suffers biggest deficit blown vs. Baylor. Coach Cal’s return to Kentucky as he gets the last laugh vs. his former team) as there’s plenty to unwrap on the collegiate circuit.

(46:00) The NBA isn’t the only league that’s had blockbuster trades. On the ice, the Rangers continue to wheel and deal as they re-acquire former #1 pick JT Miller from Vancouver as they do their best to get themselves back into the playoff mix. The Dallas Stars get reinforcements bringing in two players, including defenseman Cody Ceci that is much needed for a depleted backline. You had milestones (Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick reaches 400 wins, the most by a US born netminder). Alex Ovechkin is now 18 goals from surpassing Wayne Gretzky all time. A great scene in Montreal for native son Marc-Andre Fleury in his last game at the Bell Centre. And Canadian fans booing the National Anthem? I have a word or two on that so I’ll throw my two cents in on what’s happening North of the Border.

(1:00:11) Pitchers and catchers are less than two weeks away. The Tigers re-up on pitcher Jack Flaherty. The Blue Jays sign aging Max Scherzer to a one year deal. And the passing of former commissioner Fay Vincent who had bladder cancer at the age of 86.

(1:03:02) Israel Adesanya was TKO’d in the second round on Saturday vs. Nassourine Imavov. Could this be the beginning of the end for the UFC fighter?

(1:04:49) A programming note as I’ll host a livestream right about Super Bowl LIX to review the game and unpack an event that’ll take place early next month that you will not want to miss!

The NBA Finals just ended, but the offseason is already proving that it's going to be wild and crazy as Episode 76 will provide the following:

The Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers. Who is the winner and loser of this deal?

Should the Knicks or Nets pursue Kevin Durant? What will the Knicks do on draft night?  Plus, the aftermath of Klay Thompson's injury and the future of the Warriors.

I'll recap the Blues historic Stanley Cup run. Does home ice/court/field matter in sports? The NHL Draft is Friday. Why the Devils and Rangers will be forever linked with who they select come Friday night?

The Yankees trade for another right-handed slugger. Why I disagree with the move? And why wasn't a starting pitcher involved instead?

The Mets bullpen continues to be inflammable. The latest debacle of relief futility, plus, their upcoming season defining road trip to Atlanta, Chicago (Cubs) and Philadelphia.

A recap of Gary Woodland's US Open victory over Brooks Koepka.

My Hero and Zero of the Week.

It’s an honor to introduce to you my one time former co-host of our internet radio show, The Final Word, J.D. We hit on a variety of topics ranging from the state of the NBA regarding player movement (i.e. Anthony Davis, Kristaps Porzingis and Kyrie Irving) and the Boston Celtics. Our thoughts on the NFL Hall of Fame finalists, his beloved Dallas Cowboys and head coach, Jason Garrett. We wrap up discussing the Boston Red Sox with some talk about the Yankees and how they’re built to go up against the World Champs in 2019. It’s an in-depth and passionate discussion between two former colleagues that’ll bring you back to when you were sitting at a bar or in the barbershop chopping it up about sports. This is truly a podcast for the sports fan on this special edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 53)

A champion has been crowned in the NFL, NBA players are ruling the roost and are we close to a decision on where Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are headed? Those are some of the topics I’ll discuss on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The NFL season went out on a whimper as the Patriots defeat the Rams in the lowest scoring game in Super Bowl history. I’ll recap the good (not much), the bad (quite a bit) and the ugly (i.e. Sean McVay and Jared Goff) as this was a game to forget. A lot of talk has been made about Super Bowl MVP, Julian Edelman on whether he’s bound for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I touched on this two weeks ago (Episode 49) and I’ll revisit this again as to why he is NOT going to Canton. I’ll wrap up my Super Bowl thoughts on the commercials, the halftime performance and the who IS going to Canton for the Class of 2019. The NBA had a fascinating week of the court with all of the buzz generated by Anthony Davis (trade request), Kristaps Porzingis (trade request granted) and Kyrie Irving (trade in the works?) as we’re just a few days from the trade deadline. Players are more in control of their fate than ever! I have tons to say about this, so you’ll get an unfiltered view on why this is bad for the league? Lastly, have we gotten any closer as to where the top two superstars on the free agent market (Bryce Harper & Manny Machado) will end up? There have been talks out in San Diego as the Padres throw their hat in the ring, but at least for one player, he may have come to a decision as to where he’ll go. You’ll get all of that, and a little more on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 52)

Let all of the hype begin as Super Bowl Week has arrived. Delivering chock full of nuggets, storylines and much more on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. Both teams have descended to the ATL where over the next six days, you’ll be up to your ears in everything dealing with the big game on Sunday. Don’t despair because here is your early take on what the key matchups will be, do the Patriots have a significant advantage because of their experience? Will the master Bill Belichick school the student Sean McVay? What will be the legacies for both Belichick and Tom Brady, win or lose? What about McVay? And finally, my prediction as to who will hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy as this years champion in the NFL! There are actually other things going on besides sports biggest event. I’ll get into the freshly minted inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Why we’ll NEVER see the likes of Mariano Rivera EVER? My feelings on why Mike Mussina is NOT a Hall of Famer? And while I’m on the subject, I’ll go through the list of finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which will be announced later in the week and share who’s a lock and who’s not worthy? Plus, you have the three All-Star Games over the next three weeks for the NFL, NHL and NBA. Does it matter? Does anyone really care? And with Anthony Davis requesting a trade out of New Orleans, what teams will be involved? Will it happen before the trade deadline on February 7th? You’ll get my opinion on those questions, and lots more on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 51)
