Christmas may be over, but the Grinch (yours truly) will certainly put plenty of coal in your stocking as this is a rather spicy podcast detailing all that’s transpired in the sports world. On deck:

(6:45) I have to express my displeasure of the NFL ‘cannibalizing’ themselves with the oversaturating of the sport with broadcasts on a million platforms. Games played on multiple days of the week, jamming down these contests down our throats. When is enough, enough? Week 17 is off to a rather brutal start. Other than Beyonce’s halftime performance, the NFL games yesterday were unwatchable! There are questions emanating from all four contestants. Who’s beating the Chiefs? Are the Steelers shrinking to where they won’t be long for the postseason? Is this the Ravens/Lamar Jackson’s year? Can you take the Houston Texans seriously? I’ll go through the rest of the weeks schedule. I’ll make a mention of two big losses in college football regarding personnel who will not play in the Notre Dame-Georgia Sugar Bowl matchup on Wednesday night. Also, former Eagles LB Bill Bergey passed away at the age of 79. CORRECTION: At the 11:00 minute mark, I mentioned Chicago is fighting for a playoff spot. It’s Seattle. My apologies as I got carried away with my commentary throughout the podcast.

(39:00) The NBA had their banner day on Christmas as Victor Wembanyama impresses, Luka Doncic goes down with a calf injury. Are the Sixers out of their early season malaise? What’s going on with the Celtics? The Lakers win a classic as Austin Reaves saves the day with a triple double and game clinching layup. Off the court, Heat guard Jimmy Butler prefers to leave Miami for greener pastures. Where will he possibly end up? And is it possible that Wembanyama could be the face of the NBA down the road?

(50:43) On the ice, the NHL has taken a few days off due to the holiday, which the Rangers have seem to be on an extended one, considering how they’ve played in the last month and change. Is another shakeup in order? The Sabres snap their 13 game losing streak in resounding fashion vs. the Islanders Monday, which segues to a diatribe on my favorite hockey team. Kudos to Sidney Crosby tying Mario Lemieux on the all time assist category in the league’s history.

(58:31) The MLB Hot Stove may cool off here, unless something sparks up over the last week of 2024. With Corbin Burnes, Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman and the like still available, could a transaction take place? If not now, when? I’ll part with thoughts on Walker Buehler signing with the Red Sox and why the Mets did not have any interest? And can they sign lefty reliever Tanner Scott to shore up their bullpen?

'Road Worriers' In Miami, Seattle & Dallas? Front Running Ravens. Longhorns Survives In CF Playoff Mix. Wemby's First Signature Game. In-Season Tourney Courts! NHL Sharks: All Time Worst?

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?
