Take a break from the ‘new normal’ and escape to in-depth analysis and opinions on what’s happening in the world of sports on Episode 131! On deck:

(3:14) Rays P Blake Snell fires the first salvo to the owners on the potential disaster baseball faces due to the coronavirus pandemic. Will other players come out opposing the owners proposal? You’ll get my thoughts on that.

(17:06) ESPN releases another sham of a list when it comes to the top 75 players of all time. The never ending and time wasting comparison of Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James. Chris Paul’s encouraging comments regarding resuming the season, but with a caveat. And my final thoughts on The Last Dance, episodes 9 & 10 including, Pippen gutting out Game 6 of the 1998 Finals. The story of Steve Kerr’s dad. Karl Malone coming up small. Jordan’s immortal three year run. Would they have won a fourth straight if they stayed together and much more.

(47:00) NFL facilities re-open on Tuesday. What does that mean for NY & CA, which were hit hard due to COVID-19. Also, will the Steelers face punishment in light of former LB, James Harrison’s comments that he received an envelope after a vicious hit to a Cleveland Browns WR back in 2010 from coach Mike Tomlin?

(53:53) My Hero and Zero of the Week.

(55:46) Plus, I’m encouraging all of the listeners and followers to submit questions to me (anything that’s on your mind) for an AMA (Ask Me Anything) segment that’l be part of a future podcast.

Episode 130 starts off turbulent but lands smoothly as I bring you up to speed on what’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:

(3:13) I start off with a rant unrelated to sports as I dissect spring (or lack thereof) in the Northeast. I’m sure some people will agree.

(7:42) The NBA kicks off the nuts and bolts of the podcast as I detail the tough job that lies ahead for Commissioner Adam Silver as he navigates the league through this pandemic. I’ll review episodes 7 & 8 of The Last Dance as I discuss Michael Jordan’s DNA, does he get a pass for his foibles vs. Orlando in the ‘95 Eastern Conference Semifinals?, Scottie Pippen’s choice to sit out the final play of Game 3 in the 94 ECS and much more on this compelling documentary.

(34:34) The NFL schedule for 2020 is out. I’ll highlight the Thursday, Sunday and Monday night dockets, as well as the Thanksgiving and Christmas Day games. Also, is Frank Gore a future Hall of Famer?

(45:57) The MMA took a hit with the coronavirus over the weekend. Is this a sign of things to come for the rest of the leagues trying to get back into the sports scene?

Will a new month in the calendar provide hope for not only sports, but for everyone? I’ll have it all here as I dissect it thoroughly in Episode 129! On deck:

(22:11) Remembering the life of Don Shula who passed away at the age of 90. Is Andy Dalton a security blanket for Dak Prescott in Dallas? The NFL schedule makers bravado? No NFL games overseas and is Jarrett Stidham the man in New England at QB?

(33:07) A dangerous game may be on the horizon between the owners and players of MLB. How that could be costly and will become a breaking point with baseball fans across the country?

(38:45) Recapping episodes 5 & 6 of the ESPN Chicago Bulls documentary, The Last Dance. How Nike almost didn’t get their man? Is Adidas still regretting not signing him?

Fired up to deliver some possibility, positivity and creativity as Episode 128 has chock full of sports nuggets to keep you entertained while quarantined. On deck:

(2:53) The possibility of sports making its way back to the national stage. It may be some time, but maybe not as far off as I once thought. Plans that the NBA & NHL are proposing to come back and my thoughts on whether it can be pulled off?

(12:12) Recapping the NFL Draft winners and losers, the wheeling and dealing throughout the league, why drafting a QB in Green Bay was a risk, but justified? Also, will the NFL continue to be unscathed during the coronavirus?

(34:29) Can the players be ready in the 3-4 week period as suggested by NBA player president, Chris Paul? The Last Dance aired episodes 3 and 4 last night. Why you need to watch this NOW? The ‘sports hatred’ that’s a thing of the past and settling the score as to why Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T?

(55:43) Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez bidding to buy the Mets? Why that may be a good thing? And not so bad overall for the star couple! You’ll definitely want to hear what I have to say about that and the Red Sox penalty for their version of sign stealing in 2018.

(2:13) SPOILER ALERT: I’ll dissect the first two parts of the long awaited documentary, The Last Dance, as it unfolds the final championship season of the Chicago Bulls. There were some very interesting takeaways from it, including, Michael Jordan’s competitive drive, Scottie Pippen’s disdain for GM Jerry Krause and owner Jerry Reinsdorf’s lack of input in regards to keeping one of the greatest teams of all time in tact and much more.

(24:10) The NFL Draft is upon us. I’ll share with you who is the most intriguing story of the first round. The TV aspect of it as this virtual draft is the first one of its kind. Should the Dolphins and Chargers move up to get their quarterback? My sleeper of the draft, rumors, news and whole lot more.

(40:56) The possibility of a world without sports for 2020, with a couple of potential exceptions. You’ll definitely won’t want to miss what I have to say about this as we continue to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

(53:02) A few notes from the MLB. Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(2:08) Zooming through the sports landscape to see if there is any light at the end of the tunnel regarding games being played. President Donald Trump & Clemson coach Dabo Sweeney say NFL & college football will begin in August/September, but the NBA is preparing for the season NOT to resume. I’ll share my thoughts on both sides of this coin.

(15:49) The sports gods took a shot at me on Sunday as they tested my patience and tormented me with a couple of classic games shown simultaneously. I’ll explain.

(21:08) I’ll update why MLB will let former Astros manager and GM, AJ Hinch & Jeff Luhnow back into the game next season even if a pitch isn’t thrown in 2020. Same for the free agent status of Mookie Betts. Also, is Betts worth up to $400 million dollars?

(24:45) Aldon Smith is back in the NFL after a four year hiatus. Why this is a tremendous gamble for the Dallas Cowboys?

(30:03) The Basketball Hall of Fame will enshrine the late Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett among others. Is this the best entry class of all time? Why Tim Duncan’s career is better than Kobe Bryant’s? Is Duncan an all-time top 10 NBA player? A few words on the Chicago Bulls ESPN documentary, The Last Dance.
