What a difference a few days can make as I’m riding high and excited as I can be, here to deliver an hour plus of my analysis on what the sports world has to offer as the latest podcast has arrived! On deck:

(6:41) It’s a wild ride that I don’t want to get off from. The New York Mets have advanced to the NLCS for the first time since 2015 as they dispose of the Philadelphia Phillies in four games. Is this really happening? Who are these guys? I’ll go over the past two resounding victories, have a request for the baseball gods and could this ride take us fans to a World Series? I’ll check in on the other series as the Dodgers showed some toughness to push the Padres to a deciding fifth game. The Yankees get back on the beam after a rough Game 2 loss to put the Royals on the brink. Can Gerrit Cole put the hammer down in a close out game? Then the Guardians have to stay alive in Detroit as the Tigers are flying high to see if they can get back to an ALCS for the first time since 2013. I’ll also share my thoughts on the passing of former Red Sox pitcher, Luis Tiant, who died at the age of 83.

(41:26) Five plus weeks into the NFL season, we’ve got our first head coach fired as Robert Sale was given his walking papers by the New York Jets. Was this too soon? Is his replacement (defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich) the answer? It’s a rather light Week 6 schedule as the two highlight games are Washington at Baltimore, Detroit at Dallas and a big Monday night between the Bills and Jets.

(52:35) College football has a GINORMOUS game on Saturday night as #2 Ohio State will visit #3 Oregon. What does this mean for the college football playoff picture? There are two other biggies forthcoming (#1 Texas at #18 Oklahoma, #9 Ole Miss vs. #13 LSU which we’ll keep an eye on.

(56:16) The NHL is back on the sports map. It’s only been a couple of days, but I’ll discuss the Panthers opening night win and banner celebration. The Utah Hockey Club wins their first ever game and now come to the New York area over the next five days, while the Rangers may be on a mission with a statement shutout over the aging Penguins in Pittsburgh.

(1:00:49) Rafael Nadal will go off into the sunset as he’ll retire at the end of the tennis season. I’ll recap his spirit, championship play and does he belong on the sport’s Mt. Rushmore?

Mets Magic, Dodgers-Padres Civil War, Guardians Title Worthy? Yanks Unimpressive As LDS Begins. Jets, Niners & Bengals In Trouble? ‘Bama Leads Upset College Saturday. 2024 NHL Preview

I’m about to handle my business and may get a little personal because of what has transpired over the last few days and what’s to come as I roll up my sleeves and share all of the feels in the world of sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:33) After a brief mention of a Cowboys-Steelers matchup that lasted until 1:00am, the hunt for Red October in baseball shifts to a Division Series as the top two seeds are introduced in the AL & NL. First, I have to unpack how the Mets have gotten here. Where does Game 3 in Milwaukee rank in Met history after Pete Alonso’s heroics in the 9th inning? What about their Game 1 comeback of the LDS? And doing it again in Game 2 before losing? There is an issue regarding the magic that this team produced, which I’ll be sure to dissect as they come home with a chance to wrap up the series at Citi Field. There’s an all out battle on the West Coast. The Dodgers win Game 1 behind Shohei Ohtani’s game tying home run early in the contest. The Padres answer with a 10-2 win in Game 2, becoming testy with some of the Padres players and the fans in the stands. How much pressure are the Dodgers to win this series? The Guardians show up and tame the Tigers in their first game. Can they go deep into October and make a run for the title? Then the Yankees had to eke out a win in unimpressive fashion vs. Kansas City. I’ll get the full 30,000 foot view to date of what has taken place and see what lies ahead as we get into the middle of the week. Also, Terry Francona surprised the baseball world as he’s returning from a one year retirement to become the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

(32:45) There are three teams that are facing a crossroads of their NFL season. The Jets lose over in London to fall to 2-3. The 49ers had no business losing at home to Arizona, but also fall a game under .500. And the Bengals could be over and out after squandering a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter to the Ravens, as their record stands at 1-4. Will these teams dig out of their respective holes to qualify for the playoffs in January? Of course, I’ll get into all of the craziness yesterday throughout the league, including my beloved Steelers whose defense were unable to answer Dak Prescott in the closing minutes of a gut punch of a loss against the Cowboys. And a belated farewell to Mercury Morris, the former Dolphin running back of the undefeated team back in 1972, who died a couple of weeks ago at the age of 77.

(57:25) If you thought the NFL had a crazy Sunday, college football said, I’ve got something for you. There were five major upsets in the sport, headlined by #1 Alabama losing to Vanderbilt. You also had #9 Missouri get whacked by #25 Texas A&M. Arkansas topping #4 Tennessee. #10 Michigan losing a championship rematch in Washington to the Huskies and USC gets stymied by Minnesota. What do these losses mean in the grand scheme of college football playoff things?

(1:05:27) The puck has already dropped on the NHL season with two games that the New Jersey Devils won in Prague vs. the Buffalo Sabres, but I’ll unpack the top storylines, over/under point totals, surprises, disappointments and a Stanley Cup Final prediction as the curtain will raise in earnest tomorrow night.

(1:24:21) Alex Pereira retained his light heavyweight title at UFC 307 in a tussle that turned out to be more than what it was, stopping Khalil Rountree in the fourth round on Saturday night.

Will Mets Join DS Party? Yanks/Dodgers/Phillies Facing Most Pressure? Davante Adams Wants Out! Remembering Dikembe & Pete Rose. LeBron’s Foolish Comment. NHL Over/Unders

One of the best sports months on the calendar has arrived and so is the latest podcast delivering all of what is, has and will take place throughout the landscape. On deck:

(6:40) October has us sports fans ready to witness the beginning of two new seasons (NHL & NBA), the height of two others (NFL & college football) and the conclusion of another (MLB) and that’s where I’ll begin. Leave it to the Mets to be the only team NOT to sweep the Wild Card round. I’ll recap the first two matchups vs. the Brewers and delve into tonight’s do or die game and who this’ll fall squarely on ESPECIALLY, if they lose (ahem, Pete Alonso). I’ll unpack the rest of the Wild Card Series which includes the red hot Detroit Tigers, the puzzling Houston Astros, the gritty Kansas City Royals, the disappointing Baltimore Orioles in the AL. The Padres look to be on a mission as they dispose the Atlanta Braves with ease. I’ll preview the Division Series in both leagues with the big picture question, which team is facing the most pressure? The Yankees, Dodgers or Phillies? There’s news regarding front office moves in STL & SF. Sending out prayers to former Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela as he needs to step away from the microphone to battle some health issues. And I’ll remember Pete Rose as he passed away on Monday at 83.

(55:43) Davante Adams wants out of Las Vegas. Where does he go? Is there a landing spot for him? What about Tyreek Hill? Does he want to go back to Kansas City? I’ll see what the Week 5 schedule in the NFL looks like as there are a few games to look forward to. Also, the four game suspension handed down to Bills LB Von Miller.

(1:08:33) College Football Week 6 is quite feeble, although you do have a National Championship rematch where #10 Michigan visits Washington on Saturday.

(1:10:14) I’ll look back at the life of Dikembe Mutombo who passed away on Monday at the age of 58. With training camps open, LeBron James had an interesting comment on the expectations of the Lakers heading into the season.

(1:16:13) The NHL will begin the 2024-25 season tomorrow, but in earnest starts on Tuesday. Commissioner Gary Bettman is already looking to open discussions on a new CBA that’s not set to expire until September of 2026! I’ll go over the over/under point totals of the year in light of an NHL preview next week.

(1:20:57) There’s a UFC light heavyweight fight Saturday night where Alex Pereira & Khalil Rountree will square off for the title in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dodgers/Braves Bow Out Meekly, Astros Win In '4'? Yanks-Guardians GM 5 Headline MLB! Eagles Path To NFC's #1 Seed A Lock? Bama Loss Adds Wrinkle To Playoff? 10 Teams Could Win NBA Title: A Preview

The sports fan rejoices as we're in the middle of a busy time in the calendar as there are lots to divulge, dive into and dissect as yours truly will break it all down over the next hour plus. On deck:

(3:44) It was another wild weekend of baseball as three of the Division Series have concluded. The two big stories were the 111 regular season winning Dodgers quietly exiting out of the postseason, to go along with the NL East champion Braves in four games to the Padres and Phillies, respectively. I'll share some critique as to how high the expectations were and how much both teams fell short, while highlighting the surging NLCS teams and who'll represent the National League in the World Series. As for the American League, the Astros beat the Mariners in 'four games', considering they won a Game 3 in a sweep that took 18 innings to complete. Then, there are the Yankees and Guardians as they'll play in a do or die Game 5 at Yankee Stadium tonight to get to the ALCS. I'll have a prediction and a scenario for either team if they face off against the Astros as to who'll come out of the AL. I'll spend a moment on the passing of Hall of Fame closer, Bruce Sutter, who died at the age of 69 late last week.

(21:29) As crazy the city of Philadelphia is over their baseball team, the football team has been perfect so far in 2022. Currently 6-0, the Eagles have been the class of the NFC to date. Even with the Giants breathing down their necks in the division and have already beaten the 5-1 Vikings this year, is it possible with an easy schedule that they have a clear path to the #1 seed in the conference? I'll recap Week 6 with my winners (Buffalo, Atlanta) and losers (Green Bay. Don't worry Jet fans, I got you & Cleveland) as I go through yesterday's slate of games.

(40:17) Alabama falls out of the top four after a wild, high scoring affair in Knoxville vs. Tennessee. I'll have an early take as to what this loss for the Crimson Tide could mean for the college football playoff at the end of the year. Is Alabama done? Do they control their own destiny? I'll also take a look at USC's tough loss in the closing seconds. Oklahoma State drops out of the top 10 losing to TCU and Michigan keeps on trucking after they dismantled Penn State.

(50:02) The NBA season is upon us as it tips off tomorrow night. I'll have all of the intriguing storylines heading into the campaign. I'll breakdown each division, predict my over/under win totals for the year and who'll be in the NBA Finals in June and come out on top. NOTE: My Finals prediction comes during my wrap up segment at the end of the podcast.

Phils/Pads Eye Upsets? Can The Guardians Score? Mariners Rebound In AL/NLDS Recap. Snyder's 'Dirt' On Other NFL Owners/BUF-KC Headline Week 6. 'Bama Holds Cards To CF Playoff. Draymond: No Suspension?

Join me in celebrating another milestone as the podcast has reached its 300th episode! I'll be sure to provide plenty of fireworks to go along with the confetti and noisemakers as I peruse through the sports landscape! On deck:

(3:29) MLB is onto the Division Series as both leagues are in full swing. The Phillies were unable to take a commanding 2-0 series lead as the scene shifts to Philadelphia for Games 3 & 4, tied at one apiece. How important is Game 3 for the Phillies to upset the defending World Champs? As for the Padres-Dodgers, San Diego was able to get the equalizer after losing Game 1, now that the series goes down the turnpike to Petco Park. In the AL, it's simple. Can the Guardians muster up any offense vs. the Yankees lineup? And can the Mariners rebound from a gut punch defeat as they lost in walk-off fashion to the Astros in Game 1? Also, has the six day layoff hurt or helped the bye teams heading into the Division Series?

(21:01) Recent reports out of Washington, DC has alleged that Commanders owner, Daniel Snyder, has hired private investigators from a law firm to dig up 'dirt' on other owners in the league. Whether true or false, is it time for the NFL to step in and get rid of Snyder? I'll look at why the league needs to nip these recent insane roughing the passer penalties in the bud ASAP? There's a huge showdown on the Week 6 schedule in Kansas City as the Bills will invade Arrowhead in an important matchup that could decide home field in the AFC. Which team does it mean the most to come Sunday afternoon? Plus, Dallas at Philadelphia (Why Dak Prescott should NOT return for this game?) and the rest of this weekends' slate.

(37:14) A meaningful Saturday for the college football playoff looms large as #10 Penn State visits #5 Michigan. Even bigger is #3 Alabama going to #8 Tennessee to play the Volunteers with or without their Heisman Trophy winning QB in Bryce Young. What a Crimson Tide loss could do to upset the balance of the discussion surrounding the college football playoff?

(42:07) The NBA season is forthcoming. I'll get into a few of the over/under win totals for the year. I'll put to bed the latest on the Draymond Green incident with Jordan Poole. Could there be any carryover into the early part of the regular season as they defend their title?

(46:31) The NHL has dropped the puck on a new campaign as the Rangers are off and flying with a win over the Lightning, while the Avalanche raise their championship banner to the rafters, receiving their rings in the process that look like it came out of a Steven Spielberg movie.

Yanks/MLB Playoffs, Jets/Giants/NFL Week 5, College Football, NHL, MMA

A busy sports October is in full swing. I’m here to dissect it all on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Yankees have taken the momentum of the ALDS and the home field advantage versus their adversaries in Boston. I’ll point out what it’ll take to have the Bombers not go back to Beantown for a Game 5 and what needs to be done if you’re the Red Sox to extend the series to advance to the ALCS. Not to mention, a brief thought on the fans that invade the Stadium and the influence (good and bad) that they have during these playoff games. Plus, the rest of the MLB playoff landscape. The Jets get back in the win column as they punished the Denver Broncos on the ground, while the Giants leave Carolina in heartbreak as they lose on a last second 63 yard field goal. There’s lot to discuss about this Giant team, including Odell Beckham’s comments about the G-Men and a word on why the Giants need to push the offense to bigger heights, similar to what they did in yesterdays’ game. I’ll put a cap on Week 5 of the NFL with a look to Week 6. Plus, the latest in college football, the NHL ‘code’ (i.e. fighting, sending a message and discipline of their players in regards to what happened in the preseason.) and a brief mention of the MMA fight on Saturday and the aftermath of the Conor McGregor match. All of that, and then some on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 33)
