NCAA's Final Four, Duke's Luck Runs Out, Mets/Yanks/Bryce, MLB Opening Weekend, Nets & Isles Playoff Push, Kristaps Assault, NFL Pass Interference Rule

The BEST sports month of the year has begun. And that’s NO April Fool, on the latest edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is set. I’ll recap the teams who’ve made it to Minneapolis that have set themselves up to make it to the title game. Plus, I’ll review Duke’s lucky run to the Regional Final that ended in being upset AND with the prospects of Zion Williamson expected to declare himself for the NBA Draft. Or not? The MLB season is underway as I discuss the opening weekend for the Mets, Yankees and Bryce Harper, whose contract is already paying dividends to the Philly faithful. I’ll also check in on the Nets and Islanders as they’re in hot pursuit of the playoffs. The Isles are in. The Nets control their own destiny, but there are teams waiting to leapfrog them as we’re into the final ten days of the NBA season. You’ll hear my thoughts on if the Nets will make it and why it’s important for them to qualify for the postseason this year! I'll also get into the allegations of former NY Knicks forward, Kristaps Porzingis of sexual assault. I’ll get into the pass interference rule that’s been implemented for the NFL this year. Will it be successful? Can it be successful? We’ll have to wait and find out, but I have an opinion on this that you won’t want to miss. Get your sports fix right here, from the one who brings the entire sports world to you all by himself on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 62)

We have reached the first sports ‘Dead Zone’ of the year and I’ll be here to get you through these dog days on the latest installment of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The NBA All-Star Break is upon us. I’ll recap the latest in the Association with last weeks trade deadline, what that means for the teams going forward, the all-star draft and the weekend itself as the league will descend to Charlotte come Friday. The Duke Blue Devils have been the star attraction of the NCAA. Are they saving college basketball, at least for this year? I’ll get into their prospects of a national title more than a month before the Tournament and who could be their roadblock come March. Pitchers and catchers have reported throughout the MLB, but where are its’ two biggest stars? We’re still waiting on Bryce Harper and Manny Machado to sign a long term deal with some club. Which teams are pursuing these generational talents? Will it be sooner? Later? I’ll share my thoughts on this and are the Yankees, and dare I say., Mets in play for one or the other? I’ll have that, plus the latest in the NHL as I get you through this ‘lean’ time in the world of sports on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 54)

Jets Flop. What's Next? NFL Week 10, NBA News, MLB Hot Stove, NHL, Duke's Big 3

A jam packed show is on tap as I deliver all of what’s going on in the world of sports on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Jets season has now been put to rest after their deplorable effort against the lowly Buffalo Bills. The hot seat is burning as coach Todd Bowles is walking the plank to his potential departure, but there is a caveat? I’ll explain in great detail why leaving now doesn’t make sense, but the REAL reason he still may be coach of this team in 2019? I’ll go around the league to discuss another wild week in the NFL as the playoff picture starts to take a little shape ten weeks into the season. There’s plenty of NBA news to delve into, including Jimmy Butler moving on to Philadelphia, Carmelo Anthony jettisoned from Houston? Tyson Chandler igniting the Lakers to .500, also what’s going on with the Celtics? Plus, some news and notes on the NHL with the answer to an intriguing trivia question, Duke’s Big 3 with Zion Williamson leading the charge and why it’s WAY too early to mention an undefeated season. I’ll sprinkle in a few more things to chat about as well on this weeks’ episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 39)
