Episode 136 delivers a special guest as I take a trip down memory lane with former Georgetown Hoya and NBA Veteran, Jahadi White.

We go in-depth and discuss his journey to Georgetown. Was it his first choice? His determination to make it to the NBA after suffering a broken ankle in his senior year. The camaraderie he experienced with his teammates in Washington, including, his relationship with the immortal Michael Jordan. Plus, his thoughts on the NBA game today compared to when he played, and much more.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared my euphoria and excitement as a fan over my favorite teams (i.e. Mets, Steelers, Celtics, Islanders and Hoyas) winning a championship. Today, it’s the complete opposite as I bring to you (Episode 127) my perspective of digesting their toughest defeats.

(4:18) A disappointing collapse in the 1996 Big East Final, among a couple of other losses, will never erase the bitter taste of losing a national championship in 1985 as Georgetown bows to Villanova.

(12:37) The Drive For Five. Losing to the Rangers in the first round back in the 90’s was bad, but you’ll be surprised as to what the roughest NY Islanders loss was for me.

(19:26) Tough defeats at the hands of the Lakers in big spots highlight this brutal stretch for the Boston Celtics.

(28:40) It gets interesting here. The Steelers suffered some inexplicable losses in the postseason, but nothing like the 1994 AFC Championship Game vs. the Chargers. I’ll explain why.

(46:02) And then…there are the Mets. Losing to the Yankees in the Subway Series? The Royals in 2015? Not even close. There are three that come to mind, with not just one, but TWO honorable mention that you won’t want to miss out on.

(59:05) Lastly, I’ll recap the top headlines of the first round of the NFL Draft. Not a lot of drama, but some surprises, especially what took place in Green Bay.

Going down a different sports path on Episode 123, as I share my experience of the few thrills that my teams have accomplished over the years winning a championship. Whether you’re a fan of the teams I root for, or not, I’m sure those who know what it feels like to reach the mountaintop can surely relate. On deck:

(4:28) My early memories of rooting for the Georgetown Hoyas college basketball team, as they were champions in 1984.

(10:25) The New York Islanders record setting dominance of the early 1980’s, winning four Stanley Cups along the way.

(17:07) The Boston Celtics halcyon days of the 1980’s, sandwiched by the 2008 championship team. One of my biggest regrets and confession comes from watching the NBA Finals of that year. You won’t want to miss that.

(26:45) The Pittsburgh Steelers capping off four Super Bowl victories in the 1970’s, to the improbable and historic run to winning Super Bowl XL (which was anti-climatic…you have to hear for yourself) concluding with what I call, ‘The Gift That Keeps On Giving’ as the Steelers win Super Bowl XLIII.

(37:35) My first love, the New York Mets as 1986 is the only season I can hang my hat on, despite a couple of World Series runs that fell short. They did provide a thrill of a lifetime as I look back at where I was and how I was ready to burst into sad tears when there were two outs in the bottom of the 10th in Game 6 of the ‘86 World Series.

I hope you enjoy listening to my thoughts and experience of what it was like to witness world championships as it evokes memories of the teams you root for and what it meant to you at that time.
