Celebrating another lap around the track, I’ll get to that in a little while, on this April Fool’s eve, there’ll be no fooling around when it comes to me going all in on everything that’s happening in sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:
(5:52) As I commence the podcast, I’m asking for a bit of a favor. Today is my 56th birthday. I implore you (if you haven’t done so already) to please subscribe to the YouTube channel (@JAYREELZ) or whichever podcast platform you frequent (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.) I sincerely appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
(7:18) From 68 to four. For the first time since 2008 and the second time in Tournament history, all of the top seeds in each region will face off in the Final Four come Saturday in San Antonio. I’ll discuss how Florida, Auburn, Duke and Houston all got to this point as March Madness this year has been anything but.
(24:18) With less than two weeks remaining in the NBA season, why did the Memphis Grizzlies fire their head coach, Taylor Jenkins? Was it a move that was warranted? Or is this out of desperation? Kevin Durant suffers a left ankle sprain and will be out of the lineup for the immediate future. Are the Suns postseasons chances cooked? Have the 2024-25 Detroit Pistons gone back to yesteryear and are the Bad Boys 2.0? I’ll explain why while I’ll check in on where teams stand when it comes to the playoff chase in each conference. Quite frankly, there isn’t too much to write home about. Oh! If you’re not watching Celtics City on MAX, I suggest you start doing so.
(44:21) Are the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers the team to beat in the playoffs over Washington, Toronto and the like in the Eastern Conference? I’ll share why that may be the case, plus, Alex Ovechkin adds another goal to get that much closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record. (And a possible retirement for the Great 8! Stay with me! I’ll explain.) Sidney Crosby takes down a Gretzky record himself over the past few days. (Could Ovechkin or Crosby be on the NHL’s Mt. Rushmore?) A classy gesture by the Capitals towards goaltender Marc Andre Fleury. I’ll see where we are in the division and wild card playoff races as we’re less than three weeks from the conclusion of the season.
(57:48) We’re just four days into the MLB campaign. We have the Dodgers and Yankees on a pace to go 162-0, with the latter using bats that have caused a stir. The Marlins lead the NL East with three walk off wins, no less. And three teams who made the postseason last year are all winless (DET, MIL, ATL)
(1:07:55) Is it possible that the 49ers will move WR Brandon Aiyuk by tomorrow? In an already active offseason by the once removed NFC Champions, nothing is out of bounds.
