One more week before we turn the calendar to the penultimate month of 2024, but not before a few more podcasts, starting with this one coming right at ya. On deck:
(6:25) We’re just one day away from an epic World Series matchup between two old rivals. Yankees vs. Dodgers. I’ll unpack how this could affect the sports landscape from a viewing perspective. A history lesson between the two franchises, with analysis and complete breakdown on what we could possibly expect over the course of a long series. Also, how this Fall Classic will affect my upcoming winter? I’d be remiss if I didn’t discuss the passing on Dodgers legend, Fernando Valenzuela. And how a certain popular ESPN program DID NOT spend a second on this? What are the Tampa Bay Rays going to do about playing games at home in 2025, considering the damage to the roof of Tropicana Field due to Hurricane Helene?
(46:12) Are the Baltimore Ravens the NFL’s best after seven weeks? Their record may not indicate that, but their recent play sure does. The Chiefs, who are the last undefeated team in the sport, acquires former All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins. Does he push them over the top? There were a few other trades that the Seahawks & Texans shored up their defense. Alvin Kamara gets an extension by the Saints. I’m sure they’ll be teams looking to secure wideouts in Tampa Bay, San Francisco, among others. I’ll take a peek at the Week 8 schedule, which at first glance, is so-so.
(57:15) College football has a few solid games on the docket (Missouri-Alabama, Notre Dame-Navy, LSU-Texas A&M) that I’ll keep an eye on as Week 9 closes out October.
(59:41) The NBA season has begun. The defending champion Celtics shot the lights out of the basketball to tie a record for three pointers made in a game. What they did to try to break the record was flat-out embarrassing! Then you have the LeBron James making history again, this time playing with his son Bronny to become the first father-son duo to play in a regular season game. Was this storyline blown out of proportion?
(1:06:27) As for what’s happening on the ice, it’s been low key as the Nashville Predators finally get off the deck with their first win of the year. We’re still waiting for San Jose to do the same. There’s a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight between the red hot Rangers and defending Cup Champion Panthers.
