The unofficial ending of summer brings a new beginning as the sports universe gets resurrected after a slow couple of months. Here to detail all that’s happening as I have a lot to get into. On deck:
(2:59) We can all rejoice as the sports universe will start to pick up after an expected, but rough six weeks or so. I’ll tend to some housekeeping before I kick off the podcast (i.e. latest vlog on my YouTube channel below, a mention of a sponsor in OLIPOP soda, please see above) with another sponsor about to be introduced to you guys and gals in the coming days.
(5:35) Baseball is down to its final four weeks of the regular season. Could there be a turn in the pennant chase, in both the division and wild card races? There are a couple of teams that have thrusted them into the discussion over the past few days, including my beloved NY Mets. I also bring up the fact that the Chicago White Sox are headed to regular season futility after getting swept over the weekend and now have lost seven in a row. I’ll see where we’re at with the latest throughout the sport as to who is where, how far behind and how close will these races will be as we get to the homestretch of the season.
(30:13) College football is here! Is this going to be a year of reckoning for the Georgia Bulldogs after their thrashing of Clemson? The Miami Hurricanes are trying to take a step towards their halcyon days after beating up the Florida Gators. Texas A&M hung in there vs. Notre Dame, but the Fightin’ Irish pulled away late to win at College Station. USC upset the LSU Tigers out in Sin City last night as the first week will be completed after Florida St. hosts Boston College tonight.
(39:41) I’ll unpack the over/under win total numbers in the NFL as I’ll tease on a couple that I’m interested in. I’ll reveal those on Thursday’s podcast. Now that Brandon Aiyuk signed on the dotted line in San Francisco, what about Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons and Haason Reddick? Speaking of the 49ers, thankfully rookie wideout Rickey Pearsall survived a huge scare as a robbery attempt was near fatal in broad daylight.
(49:50) A terrible tragedy transpired late Thursday night as Blue Jackets winger Johnny Gaudreau & his brother Matthew died in a car/bike accident is South Jersey prior to their sisters wedding the day after. Seth Jarvis of the Carolina Hurricanes hits the jackpot with a new eight year deal worth over $63 million dollars.
(54:17) What a whirlwind the US Open has been over the last four days? You’ve had three major stars OUSTED as Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff did not make it to Week 2. Is that a good thing for a sport that needs their stars to go deep into these tournaments?
(1:03:40) I’ll highlight a few NBA signings that took place this past week.
(1:04:16) Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup yesterday. It’s not a Grand Slam major, but it is his sixth this year on the Tour. He is the number one player in golf. Could there be a faction that feel Xander Schauffele is part of the ‘best golfer in the world’ discussion, with TWO majors under his belt this year alone?
