I’m chomping at the bit to uncover the last few days of what’s happened throughout the sports landscape. Thanks for coming by and getting an earful of what is on my mind as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:42) Super Bowl LIX is set. The Eagles and Chiefs will meet for the second time in three years after both home teams won to punch their ticket to New Orleans on February 9th. Philadelphia capitalized on four turnovers which led to 28 points as they slowed down the Washington Commanders train this postseason. I’ll break down the key points of the game, the future of Jayden Daniels and co. and my disdain for the Tush Push. As for Kansas City, they are one game away from a three-peat, which has never been done in the Super Bowl era. They eke out another big win for the franchise, while Josh Allen falls short in a huge spot. Is he ever to be trusted to win an enormous game with the money on the line? I’ll get into the latest with the new coaching hires in the sport and a new GM in New York with the Jets. How will the new brass handle Aaron Rodgers’s future moving forward?

(40:22) The first tennis Grand Slam is complete as there was a big shock (Madison Keys upsetting Aryna Sabalenka) and not so big shock (Jannik Sinner winning back to back Australian Open tournaments) Also, what’s with the tennis fans Down Under booing Novak Djokovic?

(47:44)On the hardwood, the Association has been rather low key. You do have the Cavaliers coming back to the pack in the East, where the Celtics have admitted to being in cruise control. Can the Celtics continue their ascent to the top of the East? I’ll see what else is happening in the NBA as teams have played more than half of their season.

(56:51) As for the ice, the Carolina Hurricanes took a giant swing with acquiring Mikko Rantanen from Colorado for Jack Drury and Martin Necas. They also pick up Taylor Hall from Chicago as part of a three team deal. Will this risky move work out for Carolina? Everything else is pretty quiet around the NHL as I’ll peek at the upcoming schedule over the next three days.

(1:01:30) The Mets front office has gone on record to say that the Pete Alonso negotiations have been exhausting. Which leads me to believe, it’s time for the former first baseman to call ownership and hammer out a deal. I’ll further explain. And the Braves add a good, underrated player in Jurickson Profar to a three year deal showing that they’re staying active, doing their best to improve the roster.

The sun is starting to set on the first month of the year. ALREADY? But not without yours truly getting into every nook and cranny on what is happening in the sports universe as the latest podcast has arrived! On deck:

(6:48) We’re down to the final three games of the NFL season. Two will be played on Sunday as Championship Sunday is on the horizon. I’ll uncover the big storylines (Chiefs chasing history. Is it Josh Allen’s time? Will the Commanders magic carpet ride lead them to New Orleans? Can Philadelphia get back to the Super Bowl?) preview both games and predict who’ll face one another down in the Big Easy for Super Bowl LIX. I’ll get into the coaching hires that have taken place (Ben Johnson to Chicago and Aaron Glenn to the Jets) Why the Glenn hire was a good one, but it comes with a caveat? The Jaguars fired their GM Trent Baalke in light of Buccaneers OC Liam Coen passing on their head coaching position. Where do they go from here?

(40:27) Ohio State rebounds from a brutal home loss to Michigan to run the table and win a National Championship over Notre Dame Monday night. Why they end up having the last laugh?

(45:47) College basketball will slowly but surely creep into our sports consciousness in the weeks to come, but I’ll talk about what’s happening in the Association. Not much to unfurl, but we could be in the process of Jimmy Butler finally getting traded from Miami. I’ll detail a huge haul by the Phoenix Suns which could precipitate a deal before the deadline on February 6th. The Dallas Mavericks suffer another key injury (Dereck Lively) to their depleted roster. And Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (aka SGA) is on the fast track to an MVP with a career high 54 points recorded last night in a win vs. Utah. I’ll see what else has transpired throughout the NBA as we’re past the halfway point of the season.

(56:41) The NHL has been rather quiet. Other than the league’s best player (Connor McDavid) being suspended for three games due to his actions in a game vs. Vancouver. And the Rangers are unbeaten in the last nine games as they try to make up ground in the Metropolitan Division.

(1:00:24) As for baseball, other than a few fringe signings (Tim Anderson to the Angels. Paul Sewald to Cleveland) the baseball writers have inducted Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner to the Hall of Fame. Are they all worthy of enshrinement?

(1:07:08) We’re heading into the final few days of the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic is seeking his 25th Grand Slam singles title. He beat Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals (I have an interesting observation on Alcaraz) but will he get to a final and possibly beat Jannik Sinner. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka is looking for a three peat as she’s reached the final. She’ll face Madison Keys, who upset Iga Swiatek in the semis. Can she pull off another major upset?

It’s a holiday Monday, honoring the late, great Dr. Martin Luther King for all he stood for. On a MUCH lesser scale, you know what I stand for when it comes to anything and everything happening in between the white lines and beyond as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:43) We’re down to the final four in the NFL. With just three more games to go in this season, it was a good, not great Divisional Round. I’ll recap the big headlines of the past couple of days, including the Lions disappointing ending, the Commanders upside and magic. Lamar Jackson & co. didn’t deliver in Buffalo. The Eagles were fortunate to get out with a win despite Saquon’s monster game. And the Chiefs keep on Chiefing as they’re in another AFC Championship Game. I’ll break it all down and share my thoughts on the two games next Sunday leading up to Super Bowl LIX.

(33:54) Is there a college football championship game tonight? It seems like an afterthought after a ten day layoff from the semifinal games, but I’ll preview some of the key points for Notre Dame-Ohio State as a champion will be crowned this evening.

(39:29) The Association is front and center on this MLK Day. The only juicy storyline over the past few days is the return of Jimmy Butler in Miami. How will this play out? Is there a trade on the horizon? I’ll see what else is happening as the league is at or just about past the halfway point of their season.

(48:03) On the ice, there was an achievement that the NHL has never seen. Penguins goalie Alex Nedeljkovic is the first player in league history to score a goal and assist in the same game at the position. There’s a possible suspension for one of the best players in the sport (Oilers Connor McDavid) And Alex Ovechkin adds another goal to inch closer to Wayne Gretzky all time, but there could be another added layer to this magical season as we get to mid April.

(54:47) Are the Dodgers World Series Champions for 2025 in January? It’s sure looking that way with the signings of Roki Sasaki and lefty bullpen arm Tanner Scott as they’re locked and loaded to defend their title. I have to add the sad news of both Bob Uecker and Jeff Torborg who passed away over the last few days at the ages of 90 & 83 respectively.

(1:01:57) What is going on down under at the Australian Open? Between the players, fans and media, it’s been a wild few days regarding Novak Djokovic and the local media. Danielle Collins getting heckled by the fans and returning barbs with them in losing her match to Madison Keys. A big upset as Daniil Medvedev is ousted from the tournament. A crazy past few days as we turn the corner to the second week of the first Grand Slam of the year. NOTE: The Blue Jays sign Anthony Santander in some breaking news at the time. A five year, $90 million dollar deal as another free agent is off the market.

Getting into a groove as we approach the middle of January, catching up and presenting to you all of what’s going on in the sports world as the latest podcast comes your way. On deck:

(6:27) I have to start off by railing against the NFL Wild Card Weekend being underwhelming and rather lame honestly. It was salvaged in the nightcap down in Tampa as rookie QB Jayden Daniels led the Commanders to their franchise’s first playoff victory in 19 years, beating the Buccaneers 23-20. Did this cement the organization’s odor of the regime of Daniel Snyder years ago? I’ll go through the rest of the schedule where the Texans, Eagles, Ravens and Bills coasted to victory. I’ll get on both Justin Herbert and Jordan Love as far as their performances this weekend. No surprise as Mike Vrabel is your new coach of the New England Patriots. The nightmare continues in Cleveland as Deshaun Watson re-injures his Achilles and is likely done for 2025. Will they pivot and draft a QB, knowing that they still have to fork over $94 million to Watson?

(42:10) The National Championship is set for college football as Penn State and Texas will have long winters, springs and into summer after suffering brutal defeats at the hands of Notre Dame and Ohio State, respectively. I’ll dissect both games, see what went wrong for the Nittany Lions and Longhorns and briefly look ahead to the title game next Monday night. There was some sad news as former Colorado Buffalo coach, Bill McCartney died at the age of 84.

(52:48) Not much is happening in the Association as I’ll touch on the Cavaliers getting their 12 game winning streak snapped. Zion Williamson’s tardiness leads to a suspension. Will he ever grow up? And a historic achievement by Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook, recording triple doubles in the same game for the second time this year. I will check to see what else is going on as teams are approaching the midway point of the season.

(59:59) Same for the NHL as I’ll keep an eye on Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit on Wayne Gretzky’s record, the Bruins snap a six game skid in unconventional fashion and keep you abreast of what’s happening on the ice over the past few days.

(1:04:55) Baseball is about a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. What’s the latest regarding the Mets signing Pete Alonso and reports of a contract in place?

(1:09:00) We already have an upset of a top men’s player down under at the Australian Open as #11 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas has been ousted by 20 year old Alex Michelsen. Besides that, Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek has advanced as they’re just getting started in the first Grand Slam of 2025.

Your boy is playing injured as I’m battling a hoarse voice that came out of nowhere, but that won’t stop me from sharing my thoughts and opinions on ALL that’s taking place in sports. On deck:

(6:40) The LA Dodgers took care of business at home winning the first two games of the World Series. Now the scene shifts to New York for the next two (at least) maybe three games. Is this Fall Classic, for all intents and purposes, over? I’ll explain why that’s not the case and make a play for the Yankees to draw even in the Series for a pivotal Game 5 on Wednesday night? I’ll unpack the managing of Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts, how Aaron Judge is becoming playoff A-Rod prior to his 2009 run and how many people have watched and paid attention to the heavyweight matchup.

(29:04) We’re approaching the halfway point of the NFL season. Week 8 had some good (Jayden Daniels Hail Mary and success in DC), bad (the AFC East, and both Souths have been clinched?) and the ugly (the Jets have hit rock bottom) are the key highlights from Sunday’s action. I’ll also get on Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Tua’s return to Miami, another vicious play by the Saints defense, the Packers get out of Jacksonville alive, are the Bengals done and can the NFL upstage Election Day?

(51:14) College football in Week 9 was mostly quiet, although the big game was Texas A&M coming from behind after a big gamble changing quarterbacks. It catapulted them to a 38-23 win over LSU. Where do the Aggies stand in the college football playoff as the first announcement of the rankings will be tomorrow?

(56:12) The NBA is just about a week old with the Lakers back where they belong, 3-0 at the top of the West. Kevin Durant reaches a lofty milestone, with another one forthcoming. Steph Curry suffered an ankle sprain which could keep him out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

(59:46) Break up the Jets! Not the football team. The hockey team as they are 8-0 to begin the season. How long will this streak last? Same could be said about the San Jose Sharks who haven’t won as of yet. Teams that have recovered from slow starts are the Avalanche, Predators and Hurricanes. The Rangers sign their 2020 #1 overall pick, Alexis Lafreniere to a seven year deal as he’s slowly becoming one of the top players in the league.

(1:03:48) There was a UFC fight on Saturday night where Ilia Topuria surprisingly KO’s Max Holloway in the third round, the first time that’s happened to Holloway. Could a rematch be in the works?

Excited to release another jam packed, fast paced podcast to the masses as I entertain and inform on all of the latest that’s happening in sports. On deck:

(3:59) I start off with a shameless plug (for those who watch and follow me on my YouTube channel @JAYREELZ) as I posted a new vlog detailing my 1,000 subscribers before getting a haircut update, which is testing my accountability and patience, but not what you may think!

(4:41) NOTE: I made a mention that in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the two West matchups that have a Game 1 tonight (Vegas-Dallas & LA-Edmonton) were Vegas-Edmonton and LA-Dallas. A terrible FAUX PAS on my part, but I did catch myself JUST IN TIME when I preview in the NHL segment. My apologies for the egregious error. THANKFULLY, I caught it as I was able to pivot and discuss the RIGHT series and not what I thought it was! NOW…Game 1’s in the NBA first round of the playoffs are in the books. No surprises as the home teams won all of them. Does this bode well for the big underdogs (ex. Sixers, Heat, Lakers, in particular) heading into Game 2? I’ll go through each series and how this could play out over the course of the next few days? I’ll get into the Knicks grit over Philadelphia. The Heat’s Caleb Martin’s bump on Celtics Jayson Tatum. The Bucks solid win without Giannis. The T-Wolves maturity? How the Suns have a lot to answer to, despite a lack of depth? James Harden’s proclamation after GM 1. The Lakers shot vs. the defending champs and much more!

(25:01) You had the same theme in the NHL as six of the eight series has begun, where the home team was victorious. Can the Islanders and Capitals get back in their series? The wild opening game in Winnipeg with the Jets vs. Avalanche. Boston dominating the Maple Leafs. Vancouver showing resolve against Nashville. And after my huge error thinking it was Vegas-Oilers and Kings-Stars, I’ll share my prediction on who’ll come out of the Vegas-Stars and Kings-Oilers series.

(41:34) Baseball is creeping toward the first month of their season. What is stark at the moment? The difference between the good teams and the very BAD teams. There are a number of teams that have been awful to date. Colorado, Miami, Oakland even Houston is off to a 7-16 start. How about the White Sox at 3-18? 3-18!!! I’ll unpack how the MLB could be in for a long summer with the disparity between the haves and have nots.

(54:04) Draftniks & draft geeks are pumped up as the NFL Draft is on Thursday. I’ll tease what the outlook of the first five or six picks of the draft may go as it’s a quarterback heavy top of the draft where Chicago (for sure), Washington (very likely) and New England (well, maybe or maybe not) will look to change the fortune of their franchises and select Caleb Williams from USC, Jayden Daniels from LSU and Drake Maye from UNC, quite possibly in that order.
