The weather outside may be chilly, but I’ll have your earbuds, speakers or headphones hot as I’ve got lots to say with what the sports world has to offer with the latest podcast out now! On deck:
(6:49) Football fans! The NFL playoffs are just about here! I’ll preview all of what Wild Card Weekend will have to offer, with plenty of huge storylines and go through all of the games with analysis and predictions to get you ready for six games over three days. Is Lamar Jackson & Josh Allen under the most pressure? What about Mike Tomlin? The health of Jalen Hurts? The psyche on the Vikings? All of those will be answered and an update on the latest head coach firings in the sport.
(40:25) The college football playoff resumes over the next couple of nights. Similar to the NFL, I’ll break down the key points of both games (Notre Dame-Penn St. and Ohio St.-Texas) and ask the bigger question, is this Ohio State’s title to lose? Also, what is the National Championship game that the world wants to see?
(51:54) Are you sold on the Cleveland Cavaliers being an NBA title contender? They snapped the 15 game winning streak of the OKC Thunder last night and now are in the middle of an eleven game win streak. Do you need to see more? I’ll keep you posted on some big returns (I.e. Zion Williamson and Paolo Banchero) and one big injury (Kyrie Irving) and what else is happening on the hard court.
(1:02:02)The NHL will have two outdoor games scheduled for next January and February, both of those contests…in Florida? I’ll dissect the Rangers visiting Miami to play in loanDepot Park (aka Marlins Park) and the Lightning hosting the Bruins in Raymond James Stadium (the Buccaneers home stadium) as they were granted dates to be played under sunshine and palm trees? I’ll check the schedule over the weekend and keep you abreast of what’s going on throughout the league.
(1:11:11) Baseball is rather quiet with just a few transactions to discuss, that don’t include Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman, Anthony Santander, Tanner Scott, etc. There was a sad passing as former Orioles pitcher Brian Matusz died at the age of 37.
(1:13:19) Tennis is back in our consciousness as the first Grand Slam tournament of the year (the Australian Open) is just about here. Will Carlos Alcaraz complete his career slam? Can Jannik Sinner go back to back Aussie titles? What about Aryna Sabalenka going for a three peat down under? Is Iga Swiatek ready to claim her status of #1 woman in the world? You’ll get my thoughts on all of the above as we usher in another sport to the podcast over the next two weeks.
