Is it too early to serve up a holiday feast? The answer to that is yes,  precisely a week away from Thanksgiving, but it’s never too early to carve up and share what sports entrees I’ve got prepped and ready to go as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:43) It’s been a wild week on the New York football scene as there was a GM fired by the Jets and a surprise pick at QB by the Giants. I’ll dissect both scenarios as Joe Douglas was let go by Gang Green. Where do they stand now and moving forward? While Tommy DeVito has been thrusted the starter over QB2 Drew Lock, meaning the end of the Daniel Jones era for the G-Men. What does this mean for an organization that’s hit on hard times since winning a Super Bowl 13 years ago. I’ll peek at the Week 12 schedule which is underwhelming, to say the least. Will the Pittsburgh Steelers follow up their huge win over Baltimore with a stinker in Cleveland? The first time nominees for the Hall of Fame were announced as Eli Manning is the headliner. Is he a first ballot HOF’er?

(32:25) The latest college football playoff selections were released on Tuesday night. This week I have a different observation. Will the committee revamp the playoff system by not awarding the conference champions a bye and go back to not just seedings, but strength of schedule, conference, etc.

(41:33) The last undefeated team in the NBA finally suffered a loss as the Cleveland Cavaliers were defeated in Boston by the defending champions two nights ago. The big story of the past few days is Sixers center Joel Embiid was called out by his All-Star teammate, Tyrese Maxey, for all intents and purposes, not being the leader as the face of the franchise. Is he right? Was he wrong to say that? Can Embiid be the leader that the Sixers need? I’ll unpack that and everything else that’s going on in the Association.

(53:37) On the ice, Alexander Ovechkin continues his assault on the all time goal scoring record held by Wayne Gretzky, netting two goals in Utah. Now it has to be put on pause when he sustained a leg injury after colliding with a Utah player. How long will he be out of the lineup? The Boston Bruins fired their coach Jim Montgomery after a quarter of a season played. Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews has been out since Nov. 3 with an upper body injury. How much longer will he miss?

(1:01:38) With the MVP in the MLB announced tonight, I’ll recap who has won the offseason awards to date. More importantly, the buzz surrounding free agent Juan Soto is reaching a fevered pitch. I’ll share an interesting parallel with another top player in a different sport that was in the same position as Soto. I’ll also run through the first time nominees for the Hall of Fame, led by Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia. And another name change to a ballpark that we’ll have to get used to, this time in Houston.

Your boy is playing injured as I’m battling a hoarse voice that came out of nowhere, but that won’t stop me from sharing my thoughts and opinions on ALL that’s taking place in sports. On deck:

(6:40) The LA Dodgers took care of business at home winning the first two games of the World Series. Now the scene shifts to New York for the next two (at least) maybe three games. Is this Fall Classic, for all intents and purposes, over? I’ll explain why that’s not the case and make a play for the Yankees to draw even in the Series for a pivotal Game 5 on Wednesday night? I’ll unpack the managing of Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts, how Aaron Judge is becoming playoff A-Rod prior to his 2009 run and how many people have watched and paid attention to the heavyweight matchup.

(29:04) We’re approaching the halfway point of the NFL season. Week 8 had some good (Jayden Daniels Hail Mary and success in DC), bad (the AFC East, and both Souths have been clinched?) and the ugly (the Jets have hit rock bottom) are the key highlights from Sunday’s action. I’ll also get on Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Tua’s return to Miami, another vicious play by the Saints defense, the Packers get out of Jacksonville alive, are the Bengals done and can the NFL upstage Election Day?

(51:14) College football in Week 9 was mostly quiet, although the big game was Texas A&M coming from behind after a big gamble changing quarterbacks. It catapulted them to a 38-23 win over LSU. Where do the Aggies stand in the college football playoff as the first announcement of the rankings will be tomorrow?

(56:12) The NBA is just about a week old with the Lakers back where they belong, 3-0 at the top of the West. Kevin Durant reaches a lofty milestone, with another one forthcoming. Steph Curry suffered an ankle sprain which could keep him out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

(59:46) Break up the Jets! Not the football team. The hockey team as they are 8-0 to begin the season. How long will this streak last? Same could be said about the San Jose Sharks who haven’t won as of yet. Teams that have recovered from slow starts are the Avalanche, Predators and Hurricanes. The Rangers sign their 2020 #1 overall pick, Alexis Lafreniere to a seven year deal as he’s slowly becoming one of the top players in the league.

(1:03:48) There was a UFC fight on Saturday night where Ilia Topuria surprisingly KO’s Max Holloway in the third round, the first time that’s happened to Holloway. Could a rematch be in the works?

Get ready for some classic podcasts this week (THREE OF THEM) as I could do these in my sleep with so much to unpack, you won’t know what hit you as the sports world will shift into fifth gear. On deck:

(6:50) They ran out of gas and magic simultaneously. The 2024 New York Mets were unable to meet their crosstown rivals in a Subway Series as they were defeated in the NLCS by the LA Dodgers in six games. What’s next for this franchise as they try to take this team to the next level? As I mentioned, the Yankees punched their ticket over a pesky, gutty Guardians team in five games. It sets the stage for a colossal dream matchup between two old rivals. This is only the beginning, people as Thursday’s podcast will have plenty of breakdown, analysis, predictions and personal investment. What I will discuss here is how baseball is ecstatic over this World Series, but will there be interest throughout the nation over this talent rich Fall Classic?

(37:31) There’s only one remaining undefeated team in the NFL. To no surprise, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. What is a surprise is the output of QB Patrick Mahomes, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns to date. How is this possible? The Vikings lost their first game of the year to the Lions, who have overtaken the NFC North. A puzzling QB change in Pittsburgh comes up roses as Russell Wilson put forth a good three final quarters to run the Jets out of Acrisure Stadium. I’ll also discuss a brutal injury to a depleted 49er offense, the disaster in Cleveland, not just with Deshaun Watson, but the owner wants a domed stadium in a nearby suburb? Saquon Barkley, Packers breathing down the Lions & Vikings necks and much more!

(56:02) A topsy turvy college football regular season continues with Georgia dominating defensively at Texas, moving up three spots in the ranking, where Texas falls back to #5. What about Alabama, losing their second game of the season at Tennessee, but with Missouri and a trip to LSU in the near future, could they not be a part of the college football playoff mix?

(1:03:40) Hoops fan, the NBA tips off tomorrow night. I’ll have a preview of the upcoming 2024-25 year in the morning, but with the Celtics raising their 18th banner to the rafters with the Knicks coming in, on top of Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely for the Clippers to the chagrin of the owner Steve Ballmer who’s opening a brand new crown jewel of a building on Wednesday night (Intuit Dome). I’ll send some kudos to the NY Liberty who won their first WNBA title. Was it amid some controversy in a thrilling Game 5 over Minnesota? And college coach Tony Bennett of Virginia retires due to the “current environment” of the landscape with NIL’s and transfer portals impacting the sport.

(1:14:20) Two weeks into the NHL season, you have some teams that are unbeaten or undefeated (Winnipeg is 5-0) or winless (San Jose is 0-4-2 and Nashville is 0-5) as the play on ice is just warming up.

Fired up for another opportunity to do what I love, behind the microphone and in front of this camera (for those that are watching) sharing my thoughts and analysis on ALL that’s happening in sports. On deck:

(6:39) MLB is in the middle of their championship series as two teams are halfway to the World Series. The Yankees have handled the Guardians over the first two games of the series, winning both without breaking a sweat. Have I really been paying attention to this snoozefest of a showdown? I’ll talk about that on the back end of the baseball segment. The NLCS has the Dodgers up 2-1 after another shutout in a blowout Game 3 vs. the Mets. I’ll get into why the Mets MUST win Game 4 and even breakdown how important it is for them to get back to California up 3-2 with one game to punch their ticket to the Fall Classic?! CORRECTION: I said the the 90’s Cleveland Indian teams never got to a World Series in that decade (although I mentioned they lost to the Braves and Marlins in 1995 & 97 respectively). I meant to say that they never WON a World Series. My apologies for the error.

(29:18) After another disappointing loss on Monday night, the Jets may have found their cure to their recent losing ways acquiring former Raiders WR Davante Adams, reuniting him with QB Aaron Rodgers. I’ll explain why this is NOT the case that Adams will come in and save their season. There was another big move in their own division just hours after Adams coming East as the Bills trade for Amari Cooper. How big of a factor will he be for QB Josh Allen and their offense? Jerry Jones is in the news again. He had some not so nice words for a couple of radio talk show hosts about the state of the Cowboys. I have a few not so nice words for the ubiquitous owner of America’s Team. I’ll peek at the Week 7 schedule, where there are a couple of good games (DET-MIN, KC-SF) and two more Monday night games?

(47:23) College football has another big weekend with two enormous games (Georgia-Texas, Alabama-Tennessee) but what does this mean in the grand scheme of things? Is it much? Is it little to none?

(53:34) The NBA tips off in five days. I’ll review what the over/under win totals are as I prepare for an NBA Preview next week.

(59:42) On the ice, there was a wonderful tribute in Columbus for their fallen player, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who both died due to a bike accident in late August. What’s going on in Colorado? The Avalanche have gotten off to an 0-4 start to their season. I’ll discuss that, Edmonton finally getting a win after three losses, the fast starts in Dallas and Calgary and a goaltender scoring a goal as we’re ten days into the regular season.

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?

No fooling around on this first day of April! I’m ready to fire on all cylinders as I’ve got plenty of sports talk to unpack as a new week, month and quarter begin. On deck:

(4:08) I offer an apology to you guys and gals for not publishing my Thursday podcast (after the MLB Preview) due to some unforeseen circumstances. Add in Easter and celebrating a birthday yesterday, it had yours truly running around, enjoying life as I haven’t posted any thoughts on what’s happening in sports on my YouTube channel, social media, etc. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I send a mea culpa to start.

(6:30) March Madness pivots to April as the Final Four in the Men’s tournament is set! You have a Cinderella in #11 seed, NC State. A #4 seed and first time ever visit to a semifinal in Alabama. Then the two #1 seeds in Purdue (first FF since 1980) and UCONN (defending champs) I’ll talk about their journey to this point, including some early headlines of these four teams representing out in Glendale where the Final Four will take place on Saturday night. On the women’s side, there’s lot of intrigue with a regional semifinal tonight where LSU will play Iowa to see who goes onto the Final Four. We know about these rivals dating back to last year’s tournament. NC State has advanced, just like their male counterparts. Can the Lady Huskies do the same with a win tonight vs. USC?

(28:24) The Association is down to the final couple of weeks of the season. It’s a Wild Wild West at the top and bottom of the conference. Lakers continue their winning ways on a current East coast trip, trying to stay ahead of the Warriors for the ninth seed. Golden State keeps winning, where the Rockets had their eleven game winning streak snapped as they’ve tried to keep pace with the Dubs for the final seed out West. Has luck run out for Houston? What about the race for the top seed between OKC, Denver and Minnesota? Who needs it the most? I’ll check on what’s happening out in the East, as it’s not as intriguing, unless you’re interested in the battle of the 3-8 seeds. More importantly, is any lead safe in the NBA? After watching the Celtics blew a 30 point lead to Atlanta last week. And the Bucks coughed up an 18 point fourth quarter lead against a LeBron James-less Lakers team. This could be something to pay attention to come playoff time, although it’s unlikely to happen.

(42:40) Just four days into the baseball season, I’m already living a dark, twisted nightmare. My beloved Mets are 0-3 and the Yankees are 4-0. I’ll explain further as to why this is the case. I’ll discuss some early suspension for two pitchers (Mets Yohan Ramirez and Blue Jays Genesis Cabrera), which teams had a good weekend and who didn’t?

(53:06) On the ice, we’re down to about seven or eight games left of this long season. Are the Rangers the best team in the NHL at the moment? Are they peaking at the right time? I’ll get into their chances of competing for a Cup and take a trip to see what teams are in good stead for making the playoffs, who’s on the cusp and who’s fallen off completely?

(1:02:52) Lastly, there are a few NFL news and notes to dive into. I like the new kickoff rule (adopted from the XFL) Reviewing intentional grounding, roughing the passer and hits out of bounds (Ok?) Moving the trade deadline up to Week 9 (Fine.) Some acquistions last week, highlighted by the Jets acquiring Eagles pass rusher, Haason Reddick (Alright!) Here’s comes the cold water. The Eagles opener in Sao Paolo, Brazil, the Friday game after the likely Chiefs raising the curtain on the season the day before, will be aired on Peacock. (What?!) And there will be two games on Christmas Day, but the holiday falls on a Wednesday! (SERIOUSLY!?) What’s next? A game every day on the NFL calendar?

I’m honored to welcome in a new partnership to the podcast. Are you familiar with Olipop soda? If not, you’ll definitely want to acquaint yourself with this healthy, crisp and refreshing beverage that has no GMO’s, organic with natural ingredients that you can read.

Closing out another month as I've got plenty to uncover as the sports world doesn't disappoint with October and the fourth quarter of 2023 on the horizon. On deck:

(2:46) The NBA sent shockwaves through the sports landscape yesterday as the Milwaukee Bucks acquired long time Blazers guard Damian Lillard in a three team deal including the Phoenix Suns. Is all the pressure going to be on Dame to deliver another title (and his first) to the Cream City? What about tampering as Heat guard Jimmy Butler brought up between the Bucks and Blazers prior to this trade?

(18:35) There's been a Seattle Mariners meltdown in the Pacific Northwest as the Houston Astros won two out of three this week, which has them 1.5 games ahead in the AL wild card race. Has this team run out of gas? How big is tonight's game vs. division leading Texas? The Cubs have also been on the collapse as they lost two excruciating games in Atlanta with the Marlins nipping at their heels. I also have to share some sad news as Orioles legend Brooks Robinson passed away on Tuesday at the age of 86.

(32:13) It's been quite a first few weeks for the New York Jets this season. Not only are the fans miffed and frustrated, it's most decorated player (Joe Namath) has come out to share his disgust about the QB Zach Wilson, the coach and front office. In comes, current injured QB Aaron Rodgers, as he tries to keep the team calm and not point fingers. Is it right for Rodgers to come to the rescue? Does he have an idea how the dumb luck of this franchise has been a major part as to why they haven't won in forever? Week 4 has one major five star game (Miami-Buffalo. Can we take the Dolphins seriously if they come up short?) and the rest are just mediocre, with the first London game (Atlanta-Jacksonville) on the schedule Sunday morning. And finally, I'm still alive in my knockout pool. I'll tell you my latest pick to see if I can extend it to Week 5.

(48:21) This week's college football schedule isn't anything like it was last week, but you have USC going to Colorado to see if they can rebound from a blowout loss at Oregon. This is a big matchup for Deion's Buffaloes. Can they respond with a better performance vs. the Trojans? I'll go through a couple of other matchups to check out (Notre Dame-Duke, Kansas-Texas, Georgia-Auburn) as Week 5 is just about here.

(53:14) Lastly, golf will have their last hurrah as the Ryder Cup arrives tomorrow in Rome, Italy. I'll preview what to possibly expect between both the USA team looking to snap a long losing streak in Europe, while Europe tries to get back in the win column after a loss on US soil two years ago.

Although fall is still officially five days away, the first of two podcasts this week officially arrives to your computer, tablet or mobile phone as I delve in on all that happening in sports. On deck:

(3:32) NFL Week 2 is just about in the books. My theme early on in this season are the surprising 2-0 teams and 0-2 teams. I'll get into my usual winners (i.e. Falcons, Seahawks, Giants) and losers (i.e. Broncos, Chargers) of the week, go through yesterday's docket as I review all that took place in the league.

(27:45) With a lot of bluster, bulletin board material leading up to a game that was "personal" for Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, they had to eke out a hard fought win at home vs. in state rivals Colorado State. They lost a key player (i.e. Travis Hunter) and have two tough conference games upcoming (i.e. Oregon & USC). Alabama out of the top 10? That's correct as they're currently #13 in the nation. Tyler Buchner doesn't seem to be the answer at QB. What does Nick Saban do at this point?

(34:10) We're down to the final two weeks of the MLB regular season. There are still division and wild card spots to be secured. The Orioles bounced back in their four game series with the Rays nicely. After losing the first two games, they salvaged the back two and have a couple game lead in the AL East. The AL West is hotly contested between the Astros, Mariners and Rangers, with the latter two in a rock fight for wild card spots against the Blue Jays. Which says a ton about the NL wild card, because the Diamondbacks have catapulted to the second wild card team after a sweep over the Cubs who have fallen from the playoff mix. The Marlins continue to scrap and claw after a sweep over the Braves at home as they currently have the final seed in the NL. Will the Cubs, Reds and even Giants make a last second push? I'll break down all of the schedule for the remaining teams jockeying for position to set themselves up for the Hunt For Red October. I'll also discuss the news of Angels Shohei Ohtani cleaning out his locker as he's shut down for the rest of the year (with two weeks to go????) And the Red Sox fire VP of baseball operations, Chaim Bloom after three plus years in Boston. Was this expected or warranted?

(50:31) A strange development took place in Columbus over the past few days. With NHL training camps open, Blue Jackets coach Mike Babcock removed himself as rumors came out about him invading privacy of his players, as it was reported, he grilled them over photos in their cell phones and alleged told them to AirPlay them for all to see on the screen during team meetings. Have you heard of anything as peculiar as this?

September is moving fast. Summer is officially starting to make its way out, but ushering its way in is the latest fast paced, informative podcast as I cover all that's going on in sports. On deck:

(3:00) All it took was four offensive plays for the new quarterback of the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers to go down for the season with a torn Achilles. What impact does this have toward the team, the backup QB Zach Wilson, the schedule and the league on a whole as they try to recover from this devastating injury. I'll take a look at who needs to rebound from bad Week 1 losses as Week 2 is here. A Monday night doubleheader forthcoming? This is the first of a few on the docket this year. Why I'm not a fan of the double dose of football, especially happening multiple times throughout the season?

(30:13) It's a super weak Saturday on the schedule for college football, but next Saturday's slate of games are more intriguing.

(32:14) We're down to the final dozen and a half games of the MLB season. The Rangers suffer a huge blow as Max Scherzer is done for the regular season with a triceps injury, with the postseason in doubt. The race for the AL West is wild and wooly between the Astros, Mariners and Rangers. Will all three qualify for the playoffs? The Mets finally get their man to run the baseball operations as former Brewer exec David Stearns, a Flushing native, will man the ship over the next few years. How much work does he have in front of him? There's a huge series in the AL East as Tampa Bay will visit Baltimore for four games to potentially decide who'll be division champs.

(42:33) The NBA is cracking down on teams and players when it comes to load management as they have a tier of fines for those who sit out players that aren't hampered with a significant injury. Why this is a boon for the Association and I'll make a comparison to players/teams of the past who would scoff at the notion of taking games off?

It's been a wild past few days in the sports universe and here to share all of my thoughts, feelings and opinions on all of the matters at hand with the latest podcast episode. On deck:

(2:43) The Seattle Kraken have made a statement to show that they not only belong in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but they're on the verge of pulling off a huge upset in beating the defending Cup Champion, Colorado Avalanche. Can they pull it off at home in Game 6? The Maple Leafs are one game away from finally getting over the hump and winning a first round series. Why the longer the series goes it doesn't favor them? Most of the series are at 3-2, including the Islanders who saved their season with a Game 5 win in Carolina. Will they push this to a 7th game? I'll have the entire first round update as we're in the homestretch to the end of Round 1.

(18:29) The NBA has made a fool out of yours truly as these first round series has picked up some steam as three of the remaining series have some intrigue and drama. First, the Suns beat the Clippers handily in five games. It's not until after the Clippers were ousted that we find out that Kawhi Leonard suffered a torn meniscus. Why wait until the conclusion of the series to apprise us? The Heat become the sixth #8 seed to upset the top seed in the conference as Jimmy Butler willed his team to two improbable wins in Games 4 & 5. Why Butler has the biggest heart in all of the NBA? And there's lots to answer in Milwaukee as coach Mike Budenholzer has lots of explaining to do with some awful coaching in key spots as they're home for the spring. I'll discuss the Knicks blitzing the Cavaliers in 5 as we get set for a Knicks-Heat second round matchup. Will it be anything close to what we saw in the 90's between these two franchises? I'll also get into the Hawks-Celtics series and how the pressure is on the C's? Why Golden State is in the drivers seat with a tough road win in Sacramento? And the Lakers are going back to Cali to see if they can close out the Grizzlies in Game 6. Plus, Ime Udoka has found a new home as he's the new coach of the Houston Rockets.

(46:08) I briefly stress over the Mets losing the first two of three at home against the Washington Nationals before delving into the NFL. Aaron Rodgers is finally a New York Jet. Do the cons outweigh the pros now that he's officially in green and white? The NFL Draft kicks off tonight as Round 1 will take place in Kansas City. Where will the top quarterbacks fall as football fans will have their fill over the next few days to see who their favorite team will draft.

(1:01:42) I cap off the pod with some quick notes on baseball regarding the Pirates, Max Scherzer's suspension and the Braves visiting New York to play the Mets over the weekend.

My sports stove has plenty of cooking as we prep for the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. I'll dish out plenty of courses as there's a lot to go around on this episode. On deck:

(3:08) It was a wild and unpredictable NFL Week 11 as we saw some surprising winners (i.e. Tennessee) a last second bailout for (i.e. Philadelphia) as well as some mind-numbing losers (i.e. NY Jets) What happened to their offense? And their special teams in the final seconds against New England? In the postgame press conference, what was QB Zach Wilson thinking that made his teammates frustrated with him? How will coach Robert Saleh handle this? Could this potentially be a season defining scenario for a Jet team trying to find its way in a long season? Then there are the Giants with an inexcusable performance at home vs. Detroit. Even the Vikings were man-handled in shocking fashion by the Cowboys at home. I'll wrap up what took place in the league with a look to the Thursday Thanksgiving Day games on the schedule.

(34:54) Tennessee suffered not only losing their QB (Hendon Hooker) for the season, but their playoff hopes as they were destroyed at South Carolina. With both Michigan & TCU squeaking out last second victories, the only team in the mix for the playoff outside of Georgia, Ohio St. and Michigan would be USC after disposing of UCLA. How will this all take into shape? And is LSU a team on the fringe of making the Final Four?

(42:00) There have been a number of key injuries that have taken place in the Association over the past week (i.e. Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, to name a few) which we'll need to keep an eye on. Giannis Antetekoumpo had an issue with a ladder in Philadelphia? Is this news? Ehhhh, but I'll explain. Don't look now, but Ben Simmons is starting to heat up as he had his best game as a Net yesterday vs. Memphis. Next up: a date in Philadelphia as he'll face his former team for the first time since the trade last year.

(52:12) The NHL has been status quo for the past couple of weeks. The Bruins home start has been historic. The Devils have won 12 in a row. Besides Alexander Ovechkin's chase for 800 goals and beyond. Plus, Matt Tkachuk playing against his former team (Calgary. With the same for former Panthers forward, Jonathan Huberdeau), things on ice have been the same for the most part. Unless you live in the tri-state area and have a chance to see MVP, Connor McDavid as his Oilers will be in NY throughout the Thanksgiving week.

(55:25) MLB's Hot Stove has cooled a bit, although the Mets have reached out to discuss the services of AL Cy Young Justin Verlander. What about Jacob deGrom? Why I'm not in favor of Verlander coming to Queens? Are the Mariners interested in Yankee INF Gleyber Torres? Also, what's the latest with Aaron Judge returning to the Yanks? Is La La Land (i.e. the Dodgers) back on the Judge bandwagon to court the AL MVP?

(59:39) The World Cup has commenced. Even after my unfulfilling preview on Thursday, USA has their first game against Wales today. How big is this game for the Americans as England looms in their next matchup on Friday?

Zooming through the sports landscape as I deliver (Episode 98) and all that happened this past week. Here’s what I got for you.

A lay of the NFL land through Week 10 as I discuss the Saints laying a huge egg at home, to the Falcons, no less. The Chiefs in Patrick Mahomes’s return lose to the Titans on the road. Lamar Jackson’s bid for MVP on the heels of a putrid NFL team in Cincinnati. The Steelers have come all the way back from an 0-3 start to put themselves in control of their own destiny for the AFC playoff race. Do the Browns have gas in the tank? Has the clock struck twelve for the Bills? I’ll have all of that for you, and then some, with a look ahead to Week 11.

LSU vs. Alabama was entertaining, but not the classic that people are making it out to be. I’ll recap the stars of this epic showdown, with the more important question. Will Alabama make the College Football Playoff this year?

The GM Meetings begin in Arizona today as the MLB Hot Stove will start to heat up. Could this be another slow off-season for the over 130 free agents to be making their way to new destinations?

I’ll also highlight the week that was on the ice (NHL) and on the hardwood (NBA)

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "Saints/Chiefs Stymied Among NFL Week 10 Storylines. Is Alabama Out of CFP? Will MLB Have Another Slow Off-Season? Plus, NBA & NHL Updates" on Spreaker.

Ushering in November with some sizzling analysis (Episode 97) as I take you through the sports universe. Here’s what I got for you.

The disasters in New York (Jets) and Cleveland as both Adam Gase and Freddie Kitchens are feeling the heat in their first season as head coach. The Niners are the last undefeated team standing in the NFL. I’ll discuss how far they can take their streak, plus go around the league to chime about the Patriots first loss and other storylines throughout Week 9.

The Washington Nationals won their first World Series in historic fashion by winning all four games on the road. I’ll put a nice ribbon on their magic carpet ride, as well as, what the Astros did wrong, particularly in Game 7. I’ll also get into some of the top free agents on the market this off-season. And, of course, my insight on the new Met manager, Carlos Beltran, that you don’t want to miss.

I’ll share some thoughts on the NBA where there was a high scoring affair between the Rockets vs. Wizards, Stephen Curry’s broken hand and Joel Embiid is up to his stupid tactics yet again.

And don’t forget, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "Patriots 'D', Gase/Kitchens Dismissal? 49ers Last Undefeated & Other Week 9 NFL Storylines, Nats Seal Deal, Mets Brass Incompetence, Embiid'" on Spreaker.

Autumn has arrived! With that, a new episode (#92) that's chock full of sports talk. On deck:

We’re down to the final week of the baseball season. I’ll recap what’s happening in both the AL/NL Wild Card races. Will there be a play in game for CLE/TB? What happened to the Cubs? Mets still alive…barely. Also, has Mickey Callaway saved his job for 2020? What about expectations for next year regarding the Amazins? Then there are the Yankees, as they  have clinched their first division in seven years. Upon their celebration, word came down that a key contributor will not be on the team come October. I'll discuss what affect that may have on the team and the roster as they complete the final week of the regular season. I’ll add in a CC Sabathia for the Hall of Fame debate in there as well.

NFL Week 3 was so-so, but there are a couple of storylines to sink your teeth into.  The Daniel Jones era is off to a resounding start with the Giants. How I compare this first game to, dare I say, Michael Jordan’s NCAA Championship win at North Carolina. I’ll explore the career of Eli Manning and whether or not he’s destined for Canton, OH at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I’ll discuss the big trade in Pittsburgh as Minkah Fitzpatrick comes north as a #1 pick for next year goes south to Miami. The 3-0 teams vs. the 0-3 teams. As well as, are NFL players adopting the 'NBA player empowerment' mentality as a way to get their demands met?

Speaking of the NBA, I’ll share my thoughts on the latest measures to stop tampering from running rampant throughout the league moving forward. Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

I'm in a feisty, awful sports mood, so hide the women and children, because Episode 90 promises to be full of smoke and fire. On deck:

In fourteen NFL cities this morning, either they're setting up the Super Bowl parade route or ready to draft for the number one pick. But there are two excpetions. I'll explain. I'll also go around the league and assess the damage up in Foxborough as the Steelers no showed vs. the Patriots.

The Mets have put their postseason hopes in the trash after a brutal loss in Washington and losing two out of three vs. Philadelphia. Mickey Callaway may have seen his managerial position go out the window with some very questionable moves this week. I have plenty of ammunition on this and I'll also recap the latest in the AL & NL Wild Card races.

Rafael Nadal has inched closer in his quest to catch Roger Federer for most Mens' Grand Slam titles. Serena Williams has now lost back to back Wimbledon and US Open Finals as she's stuck on 23 Grand Slam victories. Hear my take on both legendary figures and what may lie ahead in 2020 now that the Tennis Slams are done for the year.

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Golden State on the verge on another Finals trip. Toronto going down in a fight with Milwaukee. Also, the Knicks lose out on the Zion Williamson Sweepstakes. Does that mean the #3 overall pick will be dangled as trade bait?

We’re on the verge of saying goodbye to an action packed sports month, but there’s still plenty to get into on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. Both the NBA & NHL have moved on to the Conference Semi-finals. We’ll start off with the NBA as the juicy second round match-ups (in particular, Houston-Golden State) is off to a wild start. I’ll get into the officiating in Game 1, what this could mean for the rest of series and who’ll come out on top and advance to the Conference Finals. I’ll get into the Celtics dominating GM 1 in Milwaukee, the Raptors win over the 76ers and the Nuggets prevailing over the Spurs as they prepare to face the Trail Blazers in Round 2. On the ice, the Islanders have dug themselves an 0-2 hole and now have to go on the road to play the Hurricanes and get back in this series. I’ll explain why this series is far from over, despite having the odds against them, as well as, surveying the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoff landscape with the other three series taking place.. The 2019 NFL Draft is officially in the books. I’ll discuss the Giants surprise first of three first round picks, all of the comings and goings of another wild weekend in Nashville and the latest surrounding Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill. The Yankees continue their hot streak out West as they’ve won six of seven in Anaheim and San Francisco. Should the Yankee fan expect this team to play stellar ball without their key guys in the lineup? I’ll have the answer to that, plus, what’s going on with Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard as the Mets pitching staff has underperformed here in the first month of the season. Lastly, I’m experimenting with a new close out segment at the very end of the pod called ‘The Hero and Zero of the Week’.
