The winter solstice is on Saturday, with Christmas not too far behind. I’ll spread a little cheer and some jeers as I’ll start putting some gifts and coal around the tree as I get into all that’s going on in sports as THISSSSS..

(6:49) College football fans have been waiting for this. The first ever twelve team playoff commences tomorrow night. I’ll go through all of the major storylines (i.e. Ryan Day, Quinn Ewers, anyone? NFL swallowing up Saturday afternoon, etc.) preview each of the games, who’s primed for an upset, the best game of the four. Wall to wall coverage of what to possibly expect between the matchups of Indiana-Notre Dame, Clemson-Texas, SMU-Penn State and Tennessee-Ohio State.

(31:55) NFL Week 16 kicks off with a good one tonight with tiebreaking implications as the Broncos-Chargers will go at it. Saturday games are re-introduced to us as Houston-Kansas City and Pittsburgh-Baltimore will headline the day. Sunday and Monday are lacking in comparison. Will Michael Penix Jr. deliver for a Falcon team that’s been reeling? Can the Lions hang onto to that much needed one seed in the NFC to get a much needed bye in January?

(52:42) Have the Milwaukee Bucks turned the corner? After a brutal start to their season, they’ve come all the way back to win an NBA Cup on Tuesday night over OKC. Is this a springboard to get them back to the top of the Eastern Conference? Then you have a scenario where players have criticized the new All-Star Game format. To whose fault does that fall under? I’ll peek at the upcoming weekend schedule as there are a few games to sink our teeth into, including Karl Anthony Towns returning to Minnesota for his first game there since the trade to New York.

(1:05:00) On the ice, the Rangers have maybe hit rock bottom. They got shutout by one of the worst teams in the sport (Nashville) and the front office sent another player packing as former #2 overall pick Kaapo Kakko was jettisoned to Seattle. Is a turnaround forthcoming? I’ll see what else is going on in the NHL as they inch closer to the halfway point of the season.

(1:13:11) The MLB Hot Stove is still cooking these days. The Yankees remain aggressive as they acquire Cody Bellinger from the Cubs. How will he fare behind Aaron Judge in the Bronx? The Mets made a move themselves, but for a 5th line starter in a one, Griffin Canning, formerly of the Angels. Has anyone informed them that Juan Soto was an enormous signing, but their fan base wants more? Where does Nolan Arenado go after he refused a trade to Houston?

(1:22:47) There’s a heavyweight fight in boxing on Saturday as Tyson Fury tries to redeem himself after losing to current champ, Oleksandr Usyk back in May for a second meeting. How will Fury fare here? Also, how far has boxing fallen to where the general public couldn’t tell you who the heavyweight champion is?

Tale Of NFL/MLB Free Agency: Cousins Jackpot. Snell/Montgomery NOT. Yanks Await Cole’s Fate. A Kansas Collapse. Kawhi Injury On High Alert. Matt Rempe’s Suspension & Expansion In ATL?

The ides of March are here. Daylight extends past 7pm. Spring is officially five days away. What could be better than that? Yes. Another podcast with yours truly unpacking all that’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:

(4:14) NFL free agency came in roaring like a lion as there was plenty of activity over the past few days, highlighted by the Atlanta Falcons huge signing of QB Kirk Cousins. He got a four year/$180 million dollar deal, which begs the question. Does he really deserve it, coming off an Achilles injury at the age of 36? Then Saquon Barkley takes his talents to Philadelphia which will ratchet up the rivalry between his former team (NY Giants) and his current one. The Baltimore Ravens may have secured the final piece to their Super Bowl puzzle by inking Derrick Henry to a two year deal. What does this mean for Lamar Jackson & co. I’ll go through all of the top deals that took place since Monday as the NFL is front and center to kick us off on the podcast.

(26:11) On the other side of the coin, MLB hasn’t figured out its free agency period as there are TWO top pitchers unsigned (Blake Snell & Jordan Montgomery) now that we’re two weeks away from Opening Day. That ties into what the Yankees may have to decide with the possibility of having to shut down their ace, Gerrit Cole, for an apparent elbow issue. What does this mean for the Bombers if Cole is going to be on the shelf for half a season or the entire year? Plus, the Brewers got bad news as their closer, Devin Williams, will be out for three months due to stress fractures in his back.

(39:00) With conference championship week in full bloom when it comes to college basketball, the Kansas Jayhawks have fallen on hard times as they lost to Cincinnati last night. They’re 22-10 this year. Is this team at the bubble of making/missing the tournament? Will Michigan State, who’s on the bubble, make it to March Madness? And a note for the selection committee on the women’s game. Please have Iowa, South Carolina and LSU in three separate regions, if you want to avoid any criticism from people like myself and beyond.

(46:20) Clippers forward, Kawhi Leonard is hurt (back) and will be out for quite some time. How crucial is this loss during the regular season if he’s not going to be in the lineup? I’ll see what else is happening on the hardwood as we get to the homestretch with the playoffs awaiting a month or so from now.

(51:39) As for the NHL, Rangers tough guy Matt Rempe received a four game suspension for an elbow on a New Jersey Devils player Monday night. Was it too harsh for a first time offense? The Canucks will be without their top goaltender, Thatcher Demko, with a knee injury as they try to secure the #1 seed out West. And why is the city of Atlanta looking for another expansion team as they’ve failed two times previously?
