A Super recap of the big game and everything else that’s going on in the world of sports as Episode 112 is ready to rock. On tap:

(3:00) The Chiefs win their first Super Bowl in 50 years as they rally from a ten point fourth quarter deficit and put it on the 49ers as Patrick Mahomes is the MVP of the game. I’ll review all the key plays as the Niners have a long off-season to figure out what went wrong as they couldn’t seal the deal. I’ll chime in on the Halftime Show, the commercials and the introduction of the top players in NFL history as I put the 100th season of the NFL to bed. I’ll also have a few thoughts on the Class of 2020 Hall of Fame candidates as well.

(33:48) The NBA arguably has gone through its’ toughest week in the history of the league, as teams, players, coaches and fans say goodbye to the late, great Kobe Bryant. I’ll paint a broad stroke on the week that was with this tragedy hanging over the NBA community and beyond, and take a look at the events in LA on Friday as the Lakers hosted their first game since the Black Mamba’s death. I’ll add in the changes made to the NBA All Star Game to commemorate Kobe Bryant, the exploits of Blazers G Damian Lillard and why Jae Crowder got what he deserved in the final seconds of a game against the NY Knicks.

(49:00) A rivalry in the NHL is renewed as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames played two games in three nights and sparked thoughts of their brawl filled days in the 1980’s. Hear my take as to why the NHL has missed the boat AGAIN, and why rivalries are NEEDED in a sport that lacks any spark to the casual sports fan.

(57:00) There’s a new sheriff in Houston and his name is Dusty Baker. Why I think this is a good hire for the reigning AL Champions and is Mookie Betts on the trading block in Boston? I’ll delve into that as the Red Sox may be looking to make wholesale changes just 16 months after winning a World Series.

(1:01:42) I’ll recap the mens and womens champions at the Australian Open, what’s happening in College Basketball and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "Niners Meltdown, Chiefs Comeback To Win SB LIV, 2020 NFL Hall Of Fame Class, Lakers/NBA Farewell To Kobe, Dusty Takeover in Houston, Betts O" on Spreaker.

It’s a Super, yet somber episode (#111) filled with tons of sports chatter and remembering the life of an NBA legend on the latest edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. On deck:

The untimely and unfortunate passing of Los Angeles Laker great, Kobe Bryant as he, his daughter and seven other passengers perish in a helicopter accident in Calabasas, CA. I’ll share what I remember most about this future Hall of Famer, his achievements and the mark that he’s left on a generation with the young NBA players today.

I’ll preview Super Bowl LIV as the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will face off for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I’ll get into the key matchups, things to look for and my prediction as to who’ll be the last team standing in this NFL season. I’ll also talk about the end of an era for a one Eli Manning as he announced his retirement. What does that mean for the other QB’s in the 2004 Draft? (i.e. Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger) Also, is he a first ballot Hall of Famer?

The NHL’s second half is underway. I’ll take an early look into the playoff chase, teams jockeying for position, who can make a late run, etc.

The Mets have hired their second manager in almost three months. Let’s see if the next man up (Luis Rojas) will fit the bill as spring training is just two weeks and change from today. I’ll share my thoughts on the newly minted Hall of Fame Class of 2020 in Derek Jeter (no-brainer) and Larry Walker (ehhhh) and those who fell short (Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens) Do they have a shot next year?

The latest in the NBA regarding Zion Williamson’s intro to the NBA, Coco Gauff’s rise to put American Tennis on the map, my Hero and Zero of the Week and much more.
