A Super recap of the big game and everything else that’s going on in the world of sports as Episode 112 is ready to rock. On tap:
(3:00) The Chiefs win their first Super Bowl in 50 years as they rally from a ten point fourth quarter deficit and put it on the 49ers as Patrick Mahomes is the MVP of the game. I’ll review all the key plays as the Niners have a long off-season to figure out what went wrong as they couldn’t seal the deal. I’ll chime in on the Halftime Show, the commercials and the introduction of the top players in NFL history as I put the 100th season of the NFL to bed. I’ll also have a few thoughts on the Class of 2020 Hall of Fame candidates as well.
(33:48) The NBA arguably has gone through its’ toughest week in the history of the league, as teams, players, coaches and fans say goodbye to the late, great Kobe Bryant. I’ll paint a broad stroke on the week that was with this tragedy hanging over the NBA community and beyond, and take a look at the events in LA on Friday as the Lakers hosted their first game since the Black Mamba’s death. I’ll add in the changes made to the NBA All Star Game to commemorate Kobe Bryant, the exploits of Blazers G Damian Lillard and why Jae Crowder got what he deserved in the final seconds of a game against the NY Knicks.
(49:00) A rivalry in the NHL is renewed as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames played two games in three nights and sparked thoughts of their brawl filled days in the 1980’s. Hear my take as to why the NHL has missed the boat AGAIN, and why rivalries are NEEDED in a sport that lacks any spark to the casual sports fan.
(57:00) There’s a new sheriff in Houston and his name is Dusty Baker. Why I think this is a good hire for the reigning AL Champions and is Mookie Betts on the trading block in Boston? I’ll delve into that as the Red Sox may be looking to make wholesale changes just 16 months after winning a World Series.
(1:01:42) I’ll recap the mens and womens champions at the Australian Open, what’s happening in College Basketball and my Hero and Zero of the Week.
