The unofficial ending of summer brings a new beginning as the sports universe gets resurrected after a slow couple of months. Here to detail all that’s happening as I have a lot to get into. On deck:

(2:59) We can all rejoice as the sports universe will start to pick up after an expected, but rough six weeks or so. I’ll tend to some housekeeping before I kick off the podcast (i.e. latest vlog on my YouTube channel below, a mention of a sponsor in OLIPOP soda, please see above) with another sponsor about to be introduced to you guys and gals in the coming days.

(5:35) Baseball is down to its final four weeks of the regular season. Could there be a turn in the pennant chase, in both the division and wild card races? There are a couple of teams that have thrusted them into the discussion over the past few days, including my beloved NY Mets. I also bring up the fact that the Chicago White Sox are headed to regular season futility after getting swept over the weekend and now have lost seven in a row. I’ll see where we’re at with the latest throughout the sport as to who is where, how far behind and how close will these races will be as we get to the homestretch of the season.

(30:13) College football is here! Is this going to be a year of reckoning for the Georgia Bulldogs after their thrashing of Clemson? The Miami Hurricanes are trying to take a step towards their halcyon days after beating up the Florida Gators. Texas A&M hung in there vs. Notre Dame, but the Fightin’ Irish pulled away late to win at College Station. USC upset the LSU Tigers out in Sin City last night as the first week will be completed after Florida St. hosts Boston College tonight.

(39:41) I’ll unpack the over/under win total numbers in the NFL as I’ll tease on a couple that I’m interested in. I’ll reveal those on Thursday’s podcast. Now that Brandon Aiyuk signed on the dotted line in San Francisco, what about Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons and Haason Reddick? Speaking of the 49ers, thankfully rookie wideout Rickey Pearsall survived a huge scare as a robbery attempt was near fatal in broad daylight.

(49:50) A terrible tragedy transpired late Thursday night as Blue Jackets winger Johnny Gaudreau & his brother Matthew died in a car/bike accident is South Jersey prior to their sisters wedding the day after. Seth Jarvis of the Carolina Hurricanes hits the jackpot with a new eight year deal worth over $63 million dollars.

(54:17) What a whirlwind the US Open has been over the last four days? You’ve had three major stars OUSTED as Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff did not make it to Week 2. Is that a good thing for a sport that needs their stars to go deep into these tournaments?

(1:03:40) I’ll highlight a few NBA signings that took place this past week.

(1:04:16) Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup yesterday. It’s not a Grand Slam major, but it is his sixth this year on the Tour. He is the number one player in golf. Could there be a faction that feel Xander Schauffele is part of the ‘best golfer in the world’ discussion, with TWO majors under his belt this year alone?

Detailing My Florida Travels. Sensational Xander Quells Open Drama To Win Second Major! Are The Astros That Good? Or Mariners Bad? Celtics Huge Payroll Risk. Harbaugh Backs Lamar. ESPN’s 100 List Joke

I’m honored to welcome in a new partnership to the podcast. Are you familiar with OLIPOP soda? Please go to www.drinkolipop.com, use promo code JAYREELZ for 15% off of your purchase.

Delivering the first of two podcasts as my journey on the road continues, so hop on board to listen to what it is I have to say about what’s happening in the world of sports and with yours truly. On deck:

(3:06) Back doing another podcast ‘al fresco’, outdoors in the sunshine of Central Florida. I’ll share the past four days of my trip. Spending time with family, where my next destination after today will be and even suffering a foot injury while trying to pursue a personal challenge which fell flat after two days. Also, I plug the OLIPOP soda promo which is I implore you to do so.

(8:36) What was built up to be a thrilling Sunday at The Open Championship with a dozen golfers in the mix to win the final major of 2024, Xander Schauffele pulled away from the pack to win his second major in the last three (He won the PGA two months ago) squashing whatever drama us fans were anticipating going into the final round. I’ll discuss how Schauffele was ready for the moment, unlike years prior. How Shane Lowry’s Saturday doomed him from winning a major tournament. And Rory McIlroy’s quest for another major will have to wait another year as his decade-long drought continues.

(18:05) Baseball resumed its schedule over the weekend. The one series that caught my attention was the Seattle Mariners losing grip of first place in the AL West as the Houston Astros won two of three in the Pacific Northwest. Can the Mariners right the ship with a struggling offense and their best player (Julio Rodriguez) out of the lineup for the foreseeable future? What about the Astros? Are they serious contenders in the AL after a dreadful 12-24 start? I’ll keep you posted as the NL Wild Card race is a log jam and what series will pique my interest in the early part of this week.

(35:29) With the Olympics on the horizon, the US Men’s Basketball Team avoided a scare as South Sudan gave them a run for their money in a game on Saturday. Does this mean anything heading into the Games on Friday? Does Russell Westbrook’s trade to Utah and eventual move to Denver move the needle? The defending champion Boston Celtics signed Sam Houser to a four year/$45 million dollar deal. This includes Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday signing massive extensions over the past couple of months. Is this a high risk with the salary cap/luxury tax threshold forthcoming? And how I feel that this core MUST win at least one more title to cement their legacy during this run!

(42:49) NFL training camps will be in full bloom come Wednesday as football will be a part of our consciousness moving forward. Do I really have to hear Ravens coach John Harbaugh come to the defense of his quarterback, Lamar Jackson? This is after he failed to take his team to the Super Bowl after another MVP season. I’ll get into a couple of retirements (Shaq Barrett and Kenyon Drake) and the aforementioned Ravens signing some secondary help (former Bears S Eddie Jackson)

(48:21) ESPN recently published a top 100 athletes of the 21st century list, which YOU KNOW, I’ve got major problems with. I’ll just take it from the top 25 to number one as I can spend an entire podcast as to what’s completely wrong about this list. CORRECTION: I mentioned Nellie Fox, when I meant to say Jimmie Foxx as one of the top right handed hitters of all time, in discussing Albert Pujols.

(57:05) I even mention the winner of the Tour de France as it concluded yesterday in Nice, and not in Paris due to the Olympics on Friday. Tadej Pogacar had a historic double to win cycling’s Super Bowl.

Will Mavericks Halt Celtics Run To Title? Panthers Thwart Oiler Offense With GM 2 Tonight! Why Dodgers-Yankees Was BIG For MLB? Alcaraz Earns French! Scheffler Momentum For US Open

I’m honored to welcome in a new partnership to the podcast. Are you familiar with Olipop soda? Please go to www.drinkolipop.com, type in SODALOVE for 15% off of your purchase.

Pumped up and ready for another exciting week of content as THREE podcasts are on deck over the next four days. I’ll set the stage for what’s taken place and what to expect in the world of sports as the first pod is here. On deck:

(4:10) There’s some housekeeping in order as a new vlog is up on my YouTube channel, titled ‘I AM new media.’ It details the difference between new media vs. old media and my experience as a member of the new media. I unpack a lot and even call out a couple of new media members in the process. Plus, I have a special guest on tap for Wednesday as FOX Sports, ESPN & Big East Network sideline reporter, Kacy Standohar joins me to discuss her unconventional path in this business, her future, as well as, what’s going on in sports?

(6:24) The Boston Celtics are two wins away from winning their 18th championship in NBA history. Game 3 is Wednesday in Dallas. Will the Mavericks find a way to get back in the series? Or will the Celtics be one win away from back to back sweeps in the postseason? Also, is UCONN coach Dan Hurley going to announce whether or not he’ll be the next coach of the LA Lakers?

(24:01) The Florida Panthers have drawn first blood in the Stanley Cup Finals shutting out the high octane Edmonton Oilers offense, 3-0 in Game 1. I’ll explain how tonight’s Game 2 is a must for the Oilers if they have any chance of winning the Cup Final?

(30:04) A playoff atmosphere was in the Bronx over the weekend as the Dodgers visited the Yankees in a possible World Series preview. Why I thought and made this three game set a big deal? I’ll touch on the London Series between the Mets-Phillies. I’ll peek at the upcoming schedule this week as the Yankees visit Kansas City for four games starting tonight. The struggling Braves will go to Baltimore, while the Phillies visit Boston as there are plenty of interleague games this week. I’ll chime in with my over/under win totals to date which look very average at this point.

(46:33) Carlos Alcaraz is your French Open winner, coming from behind in both the semifinal and final to win his third major tournament. On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek won her third straight and fourth in five years at Roland Garros to show why she’s the number one women’s player in the world. How will she fare at Wimbledon next month?

(51:37) The Belmont Stakes had Dornoch win the final leg of horse racing’s third major race of the last six weeks.

(53:12) Scottie Scheffler won at The Memorial yesterday, (his fifth win on the Tour this year) with the US Open set to tee off on Thursday. Is he primed to win another major?

Scheffler Strolls To 2nd Masters Win, But Other Majors? Lakers, Warriors, Heat & 76ers Top NBA Play-In Headlines. Who’ll Win NHL East Wild Card Spot? UFC’s Holloway Dramatic KO! Oh, And O.J.!

Smack dab in the middle of April as it’s Tax Day, but you won’t have to worry about yours truly adding any of that, surcharges, etc. as I’ve got plenty of sports chatter to get into as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(4:03) Another mea culpa from yours truly as I was unable to produce a podcast for you on Thursday due to unforeseen circumstances. I do sincerely apologize, and as of right now, all looks fine for a pod come this Thursday.

(5:13) There wasn’t a lot of drama over the latter part of the Masters in Augusta yesterday where Scottie Scheffler won his second green jacket in three years. The #1 player in the world has gotten off to a tremendous start this year, but can he carry this into the final three major tournaments over the next few months? I’ll get into the performances of other golfers at the top of the leaderboard (Collin Morikawa, Ludwig Aberg, Bryson Dechambeau, in particular) Also, what happened to Tiger Woods as he had one of the worst ever majors in his illustrious career. How about Rory McIlroy as he’s looking for his first major win in ten years?

(21:57) It was a wild final week in the Association as OKC got the #1 seed in the West after Denver lost a brutal penultimate game vs. San Antonio. The Knicks crept up to get the #2 seed in the East, where the Bucks fall to three. Will Milwaukee get their act together, with or without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup? The Sixers have been red hot heading into the play-in tournament where they’ll host the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. I’ll detail the top headlines heading into the next few days (ex. West play-in better than East. Can Sixers go on a run? What bout Miami who did it last year in this spot?) Will the Lakers win to set up a rematch of last year’s Western Finals vs. Denver? Can Golden State make it in as an eighth seed?

(40:38) We’re just days away from the NHL season concluding. The only intrigue is who’ll end up with the most points in the NHL when it’s all said and done (Carolina or NY Rangers)? What about the bitter fight for the last wild card spot in the East? Four teams are separated by one point! Which of them will qualify? (Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington or Pittsburgh) Is it possible for the Arizona Coyotes to relocate to Salt Lake City starting next year? That’s been the hot topic as of late where the ‘Yotes could trek to Utah before the 2024-25 season.

(52:58) Today (April 15th) is Jackie Robinson Day, which was his first day in the Major Leagues 77 years ago today. I’ll chime in on that and bring you up to date on what’s happening as we’re two and a half weeks in the marathon of the MLB.

(59:02) The main bout in UFC 300 couldn’t have ended any more dramatic with Max Holloway knocking out Justin Gaethje with seconds left in the final round. Is it the best ending in the history of the sport?

(1:04:16) I’ll spend a few minutes on the death of O.J. Simpson. Do I even need to get into what he and his name means, not only in the sports world, but pop culture, news and controversy surrounding the former NFL great?

Madness Takeaways: Big East Snubs, UCONN’s Tough Bracket & Purdue’s Easy Path. Steelers Shock With Pickett & Fields Trades. MLB In Korea. Game Clock Issues In LA?

Spring is officially arriving tomorrow, but right now is the latest podcast detailing ALL that’s happening in the sports universe. On deck:

(4:16) We can finally usher out the Sports Dead Zone, Part 1 (at least until summer) and begin a huge stretch of sports talk over the next few months. Jump starting that is the Madness of March. The NCAA Tournament tips off tomorrow night with the First Four, and in earnest, on Thursday with the first of two days of college basketball from 12 noon to 1:00am. I’ll discuss the top three storylines of the selection process (Mountain West over Big East), UCONN’s tough bracket to defend their title. And Purdue’s cakewalk to a Final Four, considering how their bracket unfolded. I’ll get into the whole bracket on Thursday’s pod, so this is the appetizer to set you up for the main course later in the week. I’ll take a peek at how I was disappointed of the selection committee on the women’s side, where they have Iowa and LSU in the same bracket and not different brackets.

(24:36) What has gone on in Pittsburgh this offseason? It’s almost as if the Steelers have had an identity shift. I say that because just the past few days alone, they traded their former #1 pick Kenny Pickett to the Eagles. Then surprised me in acquiring Justin Fields of the Bears for what? A sixth round pick? I’ll unpack all of what GM Omar Khan has done to date and assess how this was a change from the front office that even their biggest fans didn’t expect? I’ll discuss what the Vikings did by picking up another first round pick (via Houston) Some other key signings/trades that transpired. And the retirement of Rams DT Aaron Donald, who called it a career on Friday after ten years in STL & LA.

(41:43) As much as we’re looking forward for the baseball season to start next Thursday, it actually starts on Wednesday. That’s right! The Dodgers-Padres will kick off 2024 in Korea for two games. Am I cool with MLB throwing out the first pitch outside of American soil? The Yankees dodged a potential catastrophe to their starting rotation regarding the health to Cy Young ace Gerrit Cole, but do they still look for reinforcements since the aforementioned will be out for at least a month? Then Mets owner, Steve Cohen, addressed the media to announce that 1B Pete Alonso will likely not be signed before Opening Day. YOU KNOW that I have something to say about that with the season starting in ten days.

(52:27) The Association is rather low key, despite a wild and inexplicable final two minutes of the Warriors-Lakers game because of game clock and shot clock malfunctions as the Dubs won in LA. Speaking of LA, the Clippers have hit the skids, losing 4 of 5 and not having an identity, as stated by Paul George. What’s going on there? I’ll see where we’re at throughout the league with the latest in the standings as we’re about a month away from the conclusion of the NBA season.

(59:30) Besides my Islanders going through a bad stretch of late, falling out of the Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference (albeit a point in the standings as of this moment), the NHL is status quo as I’ll take a trip around the ice as they head into the homestretch.

(1:03:23) With The Masters teeing up three weeks from this coming Thursday, the TPC at Sawgrass took place over the weekend. Scottie Scheffler is the first player ever to win back to back as he shot -20 and a 64 in the final round as he’s primed for another run as the top golfer on the tour. NOTE: I mentioned that Scheffler won the Masters last year. It was in 2022. Jon Rahm won last year. My apologies for the error.

(1:04:57) Although it’s not a Grand Slam in the world of tennis, the winners at Indian Wells were Iga Swiatek on the women’s side and Carlos Alcaraz (who stopped Jannik Sinner’s 19 match consecutive streak) captured the men’s title as both winners look to build on their victories with the French Open two months away.
