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.

The dog days of August are in full effect. So is the first of two podcasts this week as I jump into the sports pool to keep us all cool on all that's transpiring in sports. On deck:

(2:55) Are the 2023 Yankees on life support? After yesterday's collapse in Miami where the bullpen blew a four run lead in the ninth inning against the Marlins, they go to play the best team in baseball in Atlanta as they get themselves dusted off for a 44 game sprint to October? Is it time to throw dirt on them, even with six weeks to go in the season? I'll take a trip around MLB to review the latest division and wild card standings. And some news regarding Rays SS Wander Franco as it looks like he's going to be away from the team for an indefinite period of time?

(30:50) The Indianapolis Colts and star running back, Jonathan Taylor may be at a crossroads as Taylor is expected to join the team after a contract stalemate, a trade request and some dubious injury information regarding a back issue. Can the Colts save face with this situation?

(37:21) Sixers guard James Harden has publicly called out his GM Daryl Morey, "a liar" as they try to negotiate and execute a deal to send Harden packing out of town? Who's at fault? Who's to blame? Who do you trust?

(44:46) Another longtime Boston Bruins forward is headed off to retirement as David Krejci calls it a career, just weeks after Patrice Bergeron did the same.

May has arrived and so is the latest podcast that'll get the sports fan revved up on all that I have to say on what's taken place over the weekend. On deck:

(3:07) It's been a wild and crazy first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as it's coming to a close. Speaking of which, a team that we didn't think would be closed out at this point of the tournament are the Boston Bruins. They had a 3-1 series lead over the Florida Panthers. They were unable to seal the deal after losing a gut wrenching Game 7 in their own building. For all of their regular season records and accolades, was this year a major disappointment? On the flip side, the Toronto Maple Leafs lift a heavy piano off their backs as they FINALLY win a first round series, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in six. Now that they've crossed this hurdle, is a Stanley Cup run on the docket? Then there are the defending champion Colorado Avalanche, who were unable to make it to the Conference Semifinals as they lose three games at home to the expansion Seattle Kraken. Was this a bitter loss? Or is it lessened due them winning the Cup last year? I'll also share my thoughts on the Islanders losing in six to Carolina. And look ahead to a Game 7 tonight between the Rangers-Devils and the semifinal matchups between Florida-Boston, Edmonton-Vegas, Seattle-Dallas as we get set for Round 2.

(33:13) The Association had an interesting past few days. The Warriors were able to win Game 7 in Sacramento going away in the second half, including a record setting performance by Stephen Curry (50 points in the final game of the series) as they dispose the upstart but inexperienced Kings. Which leads to another battle between he and a LeBron James led team in the LA Lakers. You had the Lakers take care of the Memphis Grizzlies, embarrassing them in Game 6. I'll talk about how the Grizzlies need some wholesale changes and (SURPRISE!) who would be a good fit to get them to the next level? You won't want to miss that take. I'll preview Sixers-Celtics, Lakers-Warriors and get into Game 1 between the Heat-Knicks and how that matchup will play out.

(50:12) MLB has surpassed its first month of the season. I'll share a few takeaways as to what's transpired. A couple of surprises (i.e. Rays, Pirates, Rangers & Orioles) and a few disappointments (i.e. Cardinals, Yankees, Padres and Mariners) as I get into what's happening on the diamond.

(58:32) Lamar Jackson ends up a Baltimore Raven after all. The bigger question is, will Coach John Harbaugh re-tool his offense to being more pass oriented, especially with Odell Beckham Jr. in the mix? The 2023 NFL Draft has come and gone. I'll dive into some of the key notes of who did what and who missed out.

The Mets limp home from a brutal West Coast trip where their bullpen is a straight up disaster! What's next for the Amazins' as they try to stay afloat in the NL East?

Was Saturday nights' heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz, Jr. more of an indictment on Joshua's heart? Or Ruiz's determination?

I'll have that, plus my Hero and Zero of the Week.
