Celebrating another lap around the track, I’ll get to that in a little while, on this April Fool’s eve, there’ll be no fooling around when it comes to me going all in on everything that’s happening in sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(5:52) As I commence the podcast, I’m asking for a bit of a favor. Today is my 56th birthday. I implore you (if you haven’t done so already) to please subscribe to the YouTube channel (@JAYREELZ) or whichever podcast platform you frequent (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.) I sincerely appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

(7:18) From 68 to four. For the first time since 2008 and the second time in Tournament history, all of the top seeds in each region will face off in the Final Four come Saturday in San Antonio. I’ll discuss how Florida, Auburn, Duke and Houston all got to this point as March Madness this year has been anything but.

(24:18) With less than two weeks remaining in the NBA season, why did the Memphis Grizzlies fire their head coach, Taylor Jenkins? Was it a move that was warranted? Or is this out of desperation? Kevin Durant suffers a left ankle sprain and will be out of the lineup for the immediate future. Are the Suns postseasons chances cooked? Have the 2024-25 Detroit Pistons gone back to yesteryear and are the Bad Boys 2.0? I’ll explain why while I’ll check in on where teams stand when it comes to the playoff chase in each conference. Quite frankly, there isn’t too much to write home about. Oh! If you’re not watching Celtics City on MAX, I suggest you start doing so.

(44:21) Are the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers the team to beat in the playoffs over Washington, Toronto and the like in the Eastern Conference? I’ll share why that may be the case, plus, Alex Ovechkin adds another goal to get that much closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record. (And a possible retirement for the Great 8! Stay with me! I’ll explain.) Sidney Crosby takes down a Gretzky record himself over the past few days. (Could Ovechkin or Crosby be on the NHL’s Mt. Rushmore?) A classy gesture by the Capitals towards goaltender Marc Andre Fleury. I’ll see where we are in the division and wild card playoff races as we’re less than three weeks from the conclusion of the season.

(57:48) We’re just four days into the MLB campaign. We have the Dodgers and Yankees on a pace to go 162-0, with the latter using bats that have caused a stir. The Marlins lead the NL East with three walk off wins, no less. And three teams who made the postseason last year are all winless (DET, MIL, ATL)

(1:07:55) Is it possible that the 49ers will move WR Brandon Aiyuk by tomorrow? In an already active offseason by the once removed NFC Champions, nothing is out of bounds.

Hope springs eternal as a new baseball season is here. We get closer to crowning a champion in college basketball and everything in between as the latest podcast is about to go down! On deck:

(6:30) A quick reminder to start off the pod. I released the 2025 MLB Preview earlier this morning on Apple, Spotify and all available platforms. It’s also on my YouTube channel as I streamed the preview yesterday, so please subscribe if you haven’t done so.

(7:42) March Madness returns as the Sweet Sixteen tips off tonight. Will we get plenty of drama, suspense and intrigue that we didn’t see much of last weekend?How about all of the one seeds advancing to a Final Four, which we haven’t seen since 2008? I’ll get into the eight games over the next two nights as we’re thisclose from getting to a Final Four in San Antonio?

(25:42) The Milwaukee Bucks deep playoff run/chances have taken a huge blow with the loss of Damian Lillard who is out indefinitely with a blood clot in his right calf. Is this curtains for the Bucks shot to get to a conference finals? I’ll talk about the Wild, Wild West where you have teams jockeying for playoff positioning from seeds 2-10.

(39:57) Alex Ovechkin gets closer to climbing the top of Mt. Gretzky as he’s six goals from breaking his goal scoring record all time. Will he actually do it over the last eleven games of the season? I’ll unpack the East and West wild card races as they’re heating up. Do the Islanders have a shot to qualify as their one point behind the final wild card spot at the moment?

(50:08) Play ball! Baseball season has arrived! I’ll take a look at the schedule over the weekend, with some pretty good matchups. There’s one that I’m fascinated by that you’d be very surprised that’s on my radar.

(57:16) With the NFL Draft a month away, will the Giants draft QB Sheduer Sanders with the third pick overall after signing Russell Wilson to a one year deal? Which leaves us with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the last team standing that needs a QB. Is Aaron Rodgers the guy they’ll turn to as they pretty much have no other signal caller to turn to?

From Ownership To Fans: The Mavericks Five Week Plight! Will Suns Rise To Playoffs? Will Auburn Loss Hurt #1 Seed? NHL Trade Deadline Hears Crickets? No Jose’s For Mets In ’25! NFL’s ‘New Season’?

Is the sports dead zone, part 1 coming to a close? Perhaps not just yet, but you wouldn’t know by what has taken place over the past few days. I appreciate you stopping by to digest it all as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:38) Have you ever seen the plight of an organization fizzle out faster than the Dallas Mavericks? There’s so much to unpack from the owner, the GM, the coach, the team and most importantly, the fans. I’ll have a full assessment of what has taken place and what may lie ahead for the franchise. What does this mean for the Phoenix Suns? They’re currently a couple of games behind Dallas for the 10th spot in the West. Will the recent spat between Kevin Durant & Coach Mike Budenholzer propel them to turn their season around? As for the rest of the Association, SGA scores 51 to add to his MVP case. James Harden scores 50 at the age of 35. Two Celtics score 40 in the same game. It’s the first time that’s happened in Celtic history. Giannis reaches 20K points in his career. And LeBron James has scored 50K combined (regular season & postseason). Is that a significant record? I’ll peep the latest of both conferences when it comes to playoff positioning.

(38:37) College basketball will conclude its regular season on Sunday. Top ranked team in the nation Auburn loses to Texas A&M. Does that mean they’ll lose the #1 seed? Tennessee goes down to Ole Miss as the SEC continue to cannibalize one another. Will St. John’s get to a regional one seed? So much to still unfold as the tournament is two weeks from today.

(42:23) The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow at 3pm. There hasn’t been much activity when it comes to transactions. I have one team that NEEDS to make a move if they want to make a run in the playoffs. Alex Ovechkin is now ten goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals in league history. I’ll see where we’re at when it comes the latest in the playoff picture as things heat up on the ice.

(54:25) MLB fans! Three weeks from today, another season arrives. Two significant players on last year’s Mets team have signed with other clubs. (Jose Iglesias to SD & Jose Quintana to MIL) Could either one, or both, have made their way back to Queens? And Jose Altuve is going to play left field for the Astros? How will that go?

(59:41) A new NFL season is on the horizon. That’s right. Not as far as games being played, but open for business for transactions to take place. There have been players released (Darius Slay, Davante Adams, to name a couple) players asking to be traded (DK Metcalf) players signing with their teams (Saquon Barkley, Maxx Crosby, et. al.) And All-Pro guard Joe Thuney was traded to the Bears. Why was it smart for the Chiefs to trade an offensive lineman after watching Patrick Mahomes run for his life in Super Bowl LIV last month.

Auburn's Controversial Foul? NCAA Title Game Preview. Nets & Potential NBA Seedings, Islanders/NHL Playoff Overview, MLB's First Ten Days

I have a full smorgasbord of sports to whet your appetite on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. We’re now down to two. The Final Four was overcome with controversy as the Auburn Tigers was thisclose to making their first trip to the Championship Game. Was it a foul? Should have it been called? I’ll be sure to delve into those final 0.6 seconds vs. Virginia which changed the trajectory of the Final Four, Texas Tech’s mild upset over Michigan State and a preview of what lies ahead for tonights’ winner take all matchup. The NBA is about to embark on another postseason, but there are still a couple of games to be played. The Brooklyn Nets have punched their ticket to the playoffs, but their seed isn’t set in stone. I’ll get into both races in the East and West as the bottom of the playoff seedings in each conference have yet to be determined. On the other hand, the NHL playoffs are set. The Islanders will host the first round since 1984 against the battle tested Penguins. What are their chances to move onto the next round? Who is the biggest X-factor of this series? It may not be who you think, so you’ll have to listen to find out. I’ll also reveal the main headlines leading the chase for Lord Stanley’s Cup, with the Tampa Bay Lightning at the forefront of being one of the all time great teams with a potential championship in their sight. There’s some baseball to talk about. Not just the week that was for the Mets and Yankees, but the Orioles Chris Davis’s plight, the cold Cubs & Red Sox and the white hot Mariners, Dodgers and Mike Trout’s torrid HR streak. Plus, the Jets new uniform reveal, Antonio Brown is in the news again and the Masters are just days away. Chock full of sports talk to fill your headphones on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 63)

NCAA's Final Four, Duke's Luck Runs Out, Mets/Yanks/Bryce, MLB Opening Weekend, Nets & Isles Playoff Push, Kristaps Assault, NFL Pass Interference Rule

The BEST sports month of the year has begun. And that’s NO April Fool, on the latest edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is set. I’ll recap the teams who’ve made it to Minneapolis that have set themselves up to make it to the title game. Plus, I’ll review Duke’s lucky run to the Regional Final that ended in being upset AND with the prospects of Zion Williamson expected to declare himself for the NBA Draft. Or not? The MLB season is underway as I discuss the opening weekend for the Mets, Yankees and Bryce Harper, whose contract is already paying dividends to the Philly faithful. I’ll also check in on the Nets and Islanders as they’re in hot pursuit of the playoffs. The Isles are in. The Nets control their own destiny, but there are teams waiting to leapfrog them as we’re into the final ten days of the NBA season. You’ll hear my thoughts on if the Nets will make it and why it’s important for them to qualify for the postseason this year! I'll also get into the allegations of former NY Knicks forward, Kristaps Porzingis of sexual assault. I’ll get into the pass interference rule that’s been implemented for the NFL this year. Will it be successful? Can it be successful? We’ll have to wait and find out, but I have an opinion on this that you won’t want to miss. Get your sports fix right here, from the one who brings the entire sports world to you all by himself on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 62)
