We’re nine days away from Christmas. There’s still some time for some shopping, cooking, whipping up some egg nog, oh yes, listening to this latest episode of what the sports landscape is serving. On deck:

(6:30) The homestretch of the NFL has taken turns in different directions after Week 15. The AFC is pretty much set with the Chiefs still the #1 seed in the conference. Although we’ll have to wait on the health of QB Patrick Mahomes’s ankle. Buffalo is looking formidable with a big win in Detroit. Am I sold on them being the team to beat in the AFC? The Steelers put up an awful performance in Philadelphia with a huge rematch vs. Baltimore in six days. While the Broncos put the Colts out to pasture. Houston clinched the AFC South. The Chargers get whacked at home and the Ravens were clicking at MetLife Stadium vs. the Giants. The NFC is topsy-turvy. With the Lions losing and the Eagles winning, they are tied atop of the conference at 12-2. There’s a chance the Vikings with a victory tonight vs. Chicago could be in a three way tie (although the Lions have the tiebreaker) Then you have the Seahawks dropping out of the top of the NFC West, where the Rams overtake Seattle for first place in the division. Will the Commanders hang onto the final spot? What about Green Bay? Even the Niners? De’Vondre Campbell, anyone? Are the Cardinals still involved? A lot to unpack here as the season comes down to its final three weeks. I’ll also mention Navy’s dominance over Army on Saturday. And Colorado’s Travis Hunter is your Heisman winner, even though Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty had something to say about that.

(37:10) Who’s been following the NBA Cup? The in-season tournament final is tomorrow night with the surging Bucks and the upstart Thunder. Who will come out on top? How important is it for both teams? I’ll get into a record setting three point matchup (and weird scheduling quirk) between the Mavericks-Warriors. Joel Embiid’s latest injury. LeBron’s return to the court. And anything else happening on the hardwood.

(49:27) As for the NHL, my beloved Islanders are welcoming back two of their top players after recovering from injuries (Mathew Barzal & Adam Pelech) Can they jumpstart this team for the immediate future?  The Avalanche get a great effort from their recent goaltending acquisition (Mackenzie Blackwood) And why is tonight’s first Stanley Cup Finals rematch (Panthers at Oilers) not being broadcasted on the major networks?

(57:09) MLB’s hot stove is still cooking as there were a couple of big trades to discuss. The Astros trade RF Kyle Tucker to the Cubs for three players. Will they re-up long term with their likely one year rental? Is this the end of the Astros championship window? The same can be said for the Yankees as they made a shrewd move, obtaining Brewers closer Devin Williams, who’s also a free agent at season’s end. I’ll put to rest of the Juan Soto circus as he met the media (no pun intended) and how he revealed in his comments, the real reason he signed with the team from Queens.

Back again to detail everything that’s going on in sports with your favorite little host to uncover it all as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:36) NFL Week 15 has some five star matchups, including one in Philadelphia where the Steelers will come across the state to play the Eagles. There’s been some tension with the quarterback/wide receiver combo (Jalen Hurts & AJ Brown) or so it seemed as all is well at the moment between the two. I’ll discuss Bills vs. Lions and the impact this game could have when it comes to playoff seeding. Colts vs. Broncos is a low key solid contest as they’ll determine who’ll be in good position to clinch a playoff berth. Tonight, the Niners will look to hang on in the NFC playoff picture with an enormous game vs. the Rams. Besides that, the schedule doesn’t provide much as we now get into the final homestretch of the season. The NFL will go back to Germany for a regular season game next year, this time in Berlin. I’m sure you know how I feel about that.

(26:24) College football takes a pause this weekend (other than Army-Navy and the Heisman presentation on Saturday) as the twelve team playoff will commence next Friday. Some rather shocking news came down the pike last night as former Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, agreed to come on board and coach the North Carolina TarHeels. Did this come as a shock? What about the NFL/Don Shula’s record? How about the system as it’s currently constituted with the NIL & transfer portal? Also, the latest on Georgia QB Carson Beck’s elbow as he recovers from the injury he suffered in the SEC Championship Game. Will he play?

(38:05) MLB’s Winter Meetings concludes today with not much activity, but you did have two major deals to discuss. The Yankees sign LHP Max Fried to an eight year deal. Was this a rebound from being jilted by Juan Soto’s departure? The Red Sox got their ace as they traded for Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. Are there more moves that Boston needs to make? I’ll have to revisit Juan Soto’s signing as I couldn’t believe the backlash and vitriol by fans and celebrities alike, crucifying the former Yankee for leaving to Queens. Nolan Arenado wants out of St. Louis. Does he have anything left? Would I entertain the thought of bringing him onto my team?

(52:37) The NBA Cup has reached the semifinals with the Bucks, Hawks, Thunder and Rockets moving on. Although the Warriors were frustrated that they didn’t advance against Houston after a controversial foul called in the closing seconds which propelled the Rockets to seal the deal. Did Steve Kerr get robbed of a trip to Vegas? There have been reports that Heat guard Jimmy Butler has a list of teams he’d like to get dealt to. Which teams are on his radar? Will the Heat look to part with their star player?

(1:03:02) All is mostly quiet on the ice, but the Colorado Avalanche have a goaltending carousel to ensure stability at the position. They swapped backup goaltenders with another team less than two weeks ago. Now they procure San Jose net minder Mackenzie Blackwood to see if he’s the answer to cure their ills. I’ll look at the schedule over the weekend, including an interesting stretch for the first place Vegas Golden Knights over the next four days.
