Election Day may be tomorrow, but I'll share my winners and losers of the past few days in the sports world as the most recent edition of the podcast is here. On deck:
(2:41) NFL Week 9 was a wild one, especially when it comes to teams who I thought were making the turn for the better (i.e. Miami, Seattle & Dallas). They were unable to show and prove by winning a big game on the road, which they have not done to date. Will this cost them come January? The Baltimore Ravens have been building a case as one of the top teams in the AFC. Despite their style of play offensively, this is a front running team that does not play well from behind. I'll explain. Plus, Texans QB, CJ Stroud's historic game vs. Tampa Bay. Antonio Pierce's affect on the Raiders as he coached his first game (and won vs. his former team that he played for i.e. Giants). Are the Steelers doing it with smoke and mirrors? I'll have all of what took place yesterday as we slowly, but surely get over the halfway point of the season.
(31:44) College football was pretty much status quo when it comes to the top teams in the country, although Texas had to sweat out an overtime victory against Kansas St. Washington outlasted USC on the road. Missouri gave Georgia all they could handle, but came up short in Athens as I'm sure the playoff picture will shift over the course of the next month.
(36:24) The Association has seen an early signature game in the young career of Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama as he put up 38 points & 10 rebounds in a win vs. the Suns last week. As of this moment, there are only two things that can slow or stop him from being an all-time great. And what about the colors on the courts as the NBA in-season tournament begun on Friday night. Don't adjust your TV sets with all of the blues and reds that are coming through loud in high definition.
(43:01) Are the NHL's San Jose Sharks on the verge of being the worst regular season team in league history? They're sure off to that type of start, going 0-10-1, losing their last two games by the score of 20-3 and have been outscored 55-12 to date. I know it's early, but it's sure looking like that will be the case. I'll take a trip around the ice to see how the Bruins and Golden Knights finally lost their first game of the year. Is Oilers coach, Jay Woodcroft on the hot seat as his team has won two of its first ten?
