Brady's GOAT Status, Tampa's 'D', KC's O-Line Implodes In Super Bust, Bauer's 'Soft Landing Spot' In LA. Are The Jazz For Real? NHL/NCAA Covid Chronicles. Who's Favored At Australian Open?

It wasn’t a Super Sunday, but I’ll have a Super Show for you, detailing the big game and everything surrounding the sports universe as Episode #177 is ready for consumption. On deck:

(4:03) The matchup we anticipated fell way short as Tampa Bay suffocated the Kansas City offense as Tom Brady wins yet another Super Bowl. I’ll ask the question, was this game all about the Buccaneers defense? Or how bad the offensive line was for the Chiefs? I’ll get into how this loss ties into the legacies of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes? Is Tom Brady the GOAT as in best NFL player ever? The pre-game, halftime show and commercials as we put to bed the NFL season of 2020. I’ll also discuss the newest members of the football Hall of Fame, NFL awards, Carson Wentz wants out of Philadelphia? Jared Goff’s departure from LA. And an update on Deshaun Watson being traded from Houston.

(37:25) The Trevor Bauer sweepstakes goes to the LA Dodgers as they sign the free agent pitcher to a three year, 102 million dollar deal. Was this a soft landing for him? What about his prospects signing with the Mets? I have an interesting take on this and other baseball news, including the untimely death of Pedro Gomez, Dustin Pedroia’s retirement and more.

(44:15) The NBA has had a quiet week, but I’ll touch on the comments by De’Aaron Fox and LeBron James surrounding the upcoming All Star Game next month. Are the Utah Jazz to be taken seriously in the West?

(50:44) The top teams in the nation that are affected by the coronavirus in college basketball. Will these games be made up?

(53:19) Same for the NHL as more teams have to sit out due to the pandemic.

(56:14) Who are the favorites to win the first tennis major of the year at the Australian Open?

(59:27) I spend a moment discussing former boxer, Leon Spinks, as he passed away over the weekend.

(1:00:56) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Tampa's 'Real Shot' To Win SB LV/NFL Offseason Frenzy, NBA/NHL Scheduling Dilemma, Ovi's Return/Pens Last Cup Push? MLB Discord, Bauer To Mets? Arenado to STL For Who?

New day. New week. New month. It must mean a new podcast as I deliver ALL that’s happening in the world of sports as Episode 176 is served. On deck:

(3:59) Countdown to Super Bowl LV has begun, with a lead up into the big game. I’ll explain Tampa’s real shot to win based on only one theme. The Deshaun Watson standoff continues. Who is new Coach David Culley? Why not Eric Bieniemy? If I’m the Jets, why I WOULDN’T trade for Watson? The Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff deal. Wait! What? How many #1 picks is Stafford worth? The second retirement of Jason Witten. And what’s next for Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh?

(35:00) Both the NBA & NHL have a quandary when it comes to rescheduling postponed games on their schedule? What are the plans for both leagues to make up these games? I’ll take a look around the Association, including Lakers-Celtics, Nets-Wizards and more.

(45:24) Bringing you up to speed on the latest rankings in college basketball. Who’s trending north? South?

(46:59) I spend a minute on the NBA on discussions about a possible All Star Game in Atlanta come March. Really?

(56:06) Some MLB Hot Stove cooking as I delve into the MLB discord with the players on pushing the season up a month, the universal DH for expanded playoffs. Free agent signings (JT Realmuto & Didi Gregorius), trades (Steven Matz to Toronto, which opens up a possibility of the Mets bringing in Trevor Bauer. Two words: BUYER BEWARE! Also, the Nolan Arenado trade to St. Louis. FOR WHO?) The departure of Masahiro Tanaka and retirement of Daniel Murphy. The Hall of Fame committee vs. Curt Schilling. And Scott Rolen a Hall of Famer? SERIOUSLY?

AFC/NFC Title Recap (Lafleur Inept/Rodgers Legacy, Brady Magic, Chiefs Reign) NBA Surprises & Disappointments, Henry Aaron & Hot Stove Cooking, NHL's COVID Impact, McGregor's Future

Set to close out the first month of the new year with nothing but passionate filled, fast paced sports talk, Episode 175 delivers the goods and then some. On deck:

(3:28) The main themes of the AFC/NFC Title Games are coach Matt Lafleur’s awful decision to kick a field goal as opposed to going for a potential tie. Brady’s magic carries him to a record 10th Super Bowl. The Bills not ready for primetime and business as usual for the Chiefs. I’ll go in-depth on both games, the storylines for Super Bowl LV, Tony Romo’s honeymoon is long over. CBS gets their Super Bowl matchup wish! Also, the latest on Deshaun Watson in Houston. Eric Bieniemy’s head coaching opportunity, what’s left of Matthew Stafford? Is Philip Rivers a Hall of Famer? Lots to dissect as the NFL season comes down to its final game.

(54:20) The NBA season is a month in as I’ll discuss the surprises and disappointments so far. Why I agree with Shaquille O’Neal regarding his comments directed at Jazz guard, Donovan Mitchell? And the Clippers psyche when it really matters are among the topics I’ll touch on.

(1:05:14) An update on college basketball as Michigan will be suspended athletics due to a new coronavirus strain. Kansas loses three straight games for the first time in eight years and the latest on former powerhouses Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky.

(1:08:55) Remembering the life of the immortal Henry Aaron and Don Sutton. There’s been some hot stove activity as I’ll express my thoughts on George Springer going to Toronto, the Yankees bolstering their starting rotation and why the Mets not getting Brad Hand for their bullpen didn’t have me up in arms?

(1:21:41) The NHL dealing with COVID as the Hurricanes and Capitals deal with not either playing or having their big stars (i.e. Alex Ovechkin) in the lineup for the next week or so.

(1:25:34) Conor McGregor loses in his return to the Octagon. What lies ahead for the embattled fighter? And why did he retire in the first place?

(1:29:36) Lastly, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
