Kicking off a new month with plenty of sports talk to get wrapped up in as the most recent episode is signed, sealed and delivered. On deck:

(3:14) I pay my respect to a coaching legend who has passed away. Bobby Knight, the last head coach to lead his team to an undefeated season, died yesterday at the age of 83. I'll go through the highlights and lowlights of a decorated and controversial career as one of the greatest coaches in college basketball history.

(12:02) A historic run led the Texas Rangers to their first ever World Series championship. They won eleven road games without a loss over the past three weeks as they took care of the Diamondbacks in five games. I'll recap a rather forgetful Series, Bruce Bochy's brilliance, Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, etc. and look ahead to free agency (aka The Hot Stove) as I put to bed the 2023 baseball season.

(24:57) It's been an eventful week in the NFL. First up, you had the trade deadline on Tuesday which I'll review. Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, did some housecleaning by firing head coach Josh McDaniels, their GM and offensive coordinator as they're off to another bad start. Week 9 has brought us to the halfway point (or just about). I'll share a brief Steelers state of the union as they open up the schedule tonight vs. Tennessee. There are four big games on Sunday that occupy each of the main windows (i.e. MIA-KC at 9:30am ET, SEA-BAL at 1pm, DAL-PHI at 4:25pm and BUF-CIN at 8:20pm) which will have the football fan riveted and the wives and girlfriends exasperated.

(42:42) College football is slowly getting into the homestretch of their season. The schedule isn't anything to write home about (LSU-Alabama, Washington-USC are the only games of note.) I'll get into what's going on at Michigan as there's been accusations of sign stealing. Could this affect their standing in qualifying for the postseason? And why is Ohio State ranked #1?

(52:34) It's finally official. James Harden has been shipped to LA and is a member of the Clippers. Will this experiment work? What about the Memphis Grizzlies? They're the last team to record a win as of this posting (0-5). Without Ja Morant for another 20 games, is this already a lost season for a team that's had a lot of success in the regular season over the past two years?

(1:00:02) Wrapping up, the San Jose Sharks are the Memphis Grizzlies of the NHL as they haven't won a game to date. Could this be a historically bad year for the Sharks? Besides that (and an Ottawa Senators player getting a 41 game suspension for gambling) it's status quo on ice as that sport is approaching the first month of their season.

It's that time of the year. The holiday season is upon us. First up, I have plenty of tricks AND treats as Halloween Eve is here. So is the latest podcast as I'll satiate your sports sweet tooth with all that's happening. On deck:

(3:32) We have a World Series to sink our teeth into. The Arizona Diamondbacks have evened up the Fall Classic after experiencing a gut punch of a loss in Game 1 when they led by two runs in the ninth inning. Are the D-backs going to shock the world by sweeping the next three games at home to win a World Series? Will they go back to Texas up 3-2? I'll get into what has transpired and what to possibly expect as the series shifts to Phoenix over the next three days.

(16:38) As we approach the halfway point of the NFL season, the theme for this segment are teams that look like they're making the turn and are primed for a second half run (i.e. Bengals, Jaguars, Seahawks & Ravens) and a team that showed they were the best in the league over the first five weeks of the season (i.e. 49ers) have hit a snag as they're in the middle of a three game losing streak and face an uphill battle to get back to the top of the conference. I'll also take a look at the rest of the Week 8 schedule as we had a full slate with no teams on byes. And the trade deadline is tomorrow. Who goes where? What could shake down over the next 24 hours?

(45:30) Oklahoma has possibly taken themselves out of the college football playoff picture as they suffered a tough loss at Kansas on Saturday. What does the playoff mix looks like as we enter into the month of November?

(49:29) The NBA is off and running. There isn't much to dive into after a few days, unless you're in Milwaukee as the Bucks lost by 17 at home to the Hawks.

(51:41) Reigning MVP Connor McDavid returned to the Oilers lineup earlier than expected as they faced their arch rival Calgary Flames last night in the outdoor Heritage Classic. The rest of the NHL landscape shows that the final unbeaten teams (i.e. Golden Knights, Bruins & Avalanche) all suffered blemishes over the past few days.

(54:54) Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury had a 10 round bout vs. former MMA fighter, Francis Ngannou in a non title match. Ngannou surprised by knocking down the champ, but came up short as the split decision went to the champ. Did Fury take Ngannou lightly or for granted?

As we get set to embark on the 2023 holiday season, with Halloween forthcoming, it's time to hand out some early tricks and treats with all that the sports world has to give as the latest edition is here. On deck:

(2:58) The World Series is set. Before I preview a very unlikely matchup between the Diamondbacks-Rangers, I have to dissect the brutal home losses of the Astros and Phillies in the previous round. Which team/fan base had it worse? The Astros won a classic Game 5 in Arlington only to come home to blow the final two in their building? Or the Phillies, who had been unbeaten at home, losing Games 6 & 7 and four out of five to an 84 win Arizona team? I'll uncover all of that, plus, preview who'll win and who I'm rooting for to win the Fall Classic as it commences tomorrow night. I'll also chime in on some managerial news where Bob Melvin goes from San Diego to San Francisco, while the Mets (to no surprise) will interview former Brewers manager, Craig Counsell.

(25:14) Is it time to be concerned about the San Francisco 49ers? Not only have the lost two in a row, they will not have starting QB, Brock Purdy as he's in concussion protocol. With Sam Darnold, the backup, taking his place, is it more the system or is it the QB? We'll have to wait and find out, but it's an interesting question to address. I'll peek at the Week 8 schedule, where there's a smattering of decent games as we inch closer to the halfway point of the season.

(31:15) College football's Saturday schedule is looking rather thin as we're still a few weeks away from big time conference rivals facing one another.

(33:56) The NBA season is just a couple of days old. I'll get into a couple of Nuggets (pun intended) as they completed a 'five game sweep' of the Lakers. I'll explain. Also, Kristaps Porzingis's Celtics debut, Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama's first game and Luka Doncic's triple double in the same game. Former NBA player Kenyon Martin recently stated that Doncic's teammate, Kyrie Irving is better than Luka. I'll debate that as we're just getting started on a new campaign.

(38:49) Are the Boston Bruins picking up where they left off from last years marathon of a regular season? They are currently 6-0 as an encore to their record setting 2022-23. Colorado has gotten off to a torrid 6-0 start. But wait, what about the defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights? They are 7-0 as they've shown zero hangover from winning their first championship.

The first podcast of November delivers a lot of sports heat as I’ve got lots to get off my chest on this latest edition. On deck:

(3:40) The Houston Astros have finally reached the MLB mountaintop after losing in 2019 and last year as they capture their second title in six years. I'll recap the final four games of the series. Are they a modern baseball dynasty? As for the Phillies, there were two moves by the manager, Rob Thomson, that'll make you question well into the winter of what could've been if he didn't pull his starters in Games 4 & 6. Now that the World Series is complete, we can focus in on free agency. The Mets have re-signed closer Edwin Diaz to a record breaking contract. Was he worth the nine figure deal?

(28:19) If you've listened to me over the weeks, months and years, you know I call it like I see it. As we approach the midway point of the NFL season, I wasn't going to wait another week to make this official. The first nine weeks have been an ABOMINATION! I go into great detail as to why that's the case and how this has been a season to forget. I'll share my thoughts on some of the key trades made at the deadline last week, the sale of the Washington Commanders, and the untimely deaths of Hall of Fame punter, Ray Guy. As well as, one time Hog of the Redskins offensive line, Dave Butz.

(47:26) Georgia showed the nation who's the #1 team in college football. They suffocated the Tennessee Volunteers offense as they shut down their high octane offense on Saturday. There was also a huge loss by the Clemson Tigers as they get bounced by Notre Dame and Alabama loses their second game of the year, and in all likelihood, a shot at the college football playoff. I'll take a look at the college landscape as to who'll be in the running to play in the Final Four come New Year's Eve.

(54:08) The NBA has a full blown soap opera that's running 24/7 it seems. It's called the Brooklyn Nets. The past week exemplified how from one day to the next, they've become a daily TV drama. From the firing of coach Steve Nash, to the rumors of signing former assistant and Celtics coach, Ime Udoka, the controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving posting on social media about a film with anti-semetic themes which led to a five game suspension, have made this franchise a three ring circus yet again. I'll talk about how well the Cavaliers have played after losing the first game and are on an eight game winning streak.

(1:04:56) The Bruins averted a public relations disaster as they signed, then released 2020 prospect Mitchell Miller, who was convicted of bullying and racially abusing a kid many years ago. Was this justified? The Penguins have hit the skids as they're mired in a seven game losing streak. Does Sidney Crosby and company still have what it takes to be an elite team? And congratulations on another goal scoring milestone to Alexander Ovechkin becoming the all time leader in goals scored for one franchise at 787.

There will be plenty of tricks, treats with a few goblins and ghosts sprinkled in as your little sports podcast host has lots to share on this creepy, spooky Halloween episode. On deck:

(3:05) The World Series is two games in and both the Phillies-Astros are tied at one apiece. Now the scene shifts to Philadelphia for the next three. What could we possibly expect? Can the Phillies continue their winning ways at home, where they haven't lost in the postseason? Could Justin Verlander be in a situation where he needs to take his team home to take a series lead or survive to see another day? Lots of fascinating and compelling storylines as Game 3 and the series picks up tonight.

(17:58) Who would've thought that in Week 8 of the NFL season the NFC would NOT have the Rams, Buccaneers and Packers at the top of the conference, let alone their respective divisions? I'll share my winners (49ers & Seahawks) and losers (Panthers & Jets) and throw some cold water on chasing points on senseless two-point conversions (i.e. Bears vs. Cowboys), the Vikings and Eagles as they've only lost one game between them this year. Don't worry, I'll fully explain why I feel a certain way about the two front runners in the NFC.

(48:51) College football was very low key this past Saturday. Ohio State took care of business against Penn State to stay at #2 in the country, but they do have some company as Tennessee is tied with the Buckeyes for the second best team in the nation. Tennessee goes to Georgia on Saturday in a Clash of the Titans in the sport. I'll get into some bad losses by Oklahoma State and Wake Forest, two teams at the bottom of the top 10 who were ambushed by Kansas State and Louisville, respectively.

(52:49) The Association ends the month with the Lakers finally getting a win, a losing streak and more issues with Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn, but the bigger story is the Milwaukee Bucks. They are the last undefeated team in the league. Are they also the best at this juncture of the early part of the season? I'll take a look at what else is going on throughout the NBA as we're almost three weeks in.

(59:06) On the ice, the Boston Bruins have been the league's best almost a month into the campaign. (Although the Golden Knights are right there with them at this point.) I'll skate through what's going on in the NHL, including the Arizona Coyotes are now playing their home games where? A college university? And what is it called?

(1:05:08) Jake Paul was victorious in an eight round bout over MMA legend, Anderson Silva on Saturday night. Should we take him seriously as a fighter who has ability, but hasn't faced an opponent in his weight class or ilk on a professional level?

I’m in a championship mood as the sun is starting to set on the month of October, but your little sports podcast host continues to rise as to what the sports world has to offer. On deck:

(3:05) The World Series stage is set as the Phillies will invade Houston on Friday and Saturday night to play Games 1 & 2. I'll have all of the juicy storylines, the road for the AL & NL Champions to this point and predict who'll win the Fall Classic? There's also been some news regarding impending free agent, Aaron Judge, as rumors of the Dodgers being a participant in the sweepstakes of the Yankee slugger. Was this too soon? Speaking of the Yankees, it's been reported that manager, Aaron Boone will return for his sixth season in pinstripes. Is Brian Cashman not to far behind in joining him as his contract is up? And why did the Yankees use the 2004 Red Sox for motivation as they were down 0-3 vs. the Astros in the ALCS?

(30:44) NFL Week 8 is another snoozefest of a schedule, although the Thursday night matchup (Ravens at Buccaneers) is intriguing. If things broke right, you can have all four teams in the NFC South tied for first place with 3-5 records! I'll touch on some of the big stories that took place this week (Colts Matt Ryan benched for Sam Ehlinger, Matt Jones starting for the Patriots and the Jets trading for RB James Robinson) as we get through a bore of a slate and into November.

(39:30) College football's schedule is just about the same, although you do have #2 Ohio State visiting 13th ranked Penn St. Do the Nittany Lions have a shot to upset the Buckeyes and throw a wrinkle into the playoff discussion?

(42:15) Nine days into the NBA season has (who else?) the Lakers and Nets being the talk of the league. Is there concern over the Lakers 0-4 start? What about the Nets beginning their season at 1-3? Kyrie Irving is telling Ben Simmons to shoot! Do we have to keep our eye on that development? I'll take a look at the landscape throughout the Association as to what's the latest and greatest.

(52:13) Golden Knights Phil Kessel is your new NHL ironman as he eclipsed the record just recently held by longtime defenseman, Keith Yandle. Is this a record that should be cherished? I'll also get into what else is happening on the ice as the season is barely three weeks old.

Another sport has crowned a champion, so the fall sports are now front and center. I've got all that's shaking throughout the entire landscape as Episode #223 is chock full of opinions, analysis and critiques ready for your listening pleasure. On deck:

(6:07) With baseball out of our consciousness, all of early part of the NBA, NHL seasons, the teeth of the college football schedule about to be played, it's going to be all about The Shield (a.k.a. The NFL) They went through a week that they'd like to forget as the league had to endure one its players involved in a fatal car accident (i.e. Henry Ruggs) a positive COVID test and spoken untruth from arguably its best player (i.e. Aaron Rodgers) and drama surrounding its talented, yet mercurial wide receiver (i.e. Odell Beckham, Jr.) as he gets his release from the Cleveland Browns. Of course, I'll discuss my winners (Denver & Cleveland) and losers (Buffalo, LA Rams, New Orleans) of Week 9 and how this season has been underwhelming to date.

(40:22) The craziness of college football has come to roost yet again as Michigan State falls by the wayside and are on the outside looking in for the playoffs come New Year's Eve. I'll detail the week that was in the sport, including an early look as to who I see making it to the college football playoff late next month.

(50:56) I'll recap a World Series championship win by the Atlanta Braves, as unexpected of a Series run that we've seen. Now, we must fasten our seatbelts for what looks like a long, cold, hard winter of negotiations as the owners and players will have to come up with a new CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) which will most likely be a fight to the bitter end. Will there be a new agreement in time for the 2022 season? Will it be delayed? Postponed?

(56:17) The NBA is going to have to deal with another scenario regarding an owner with alleged racist and misogynistic comments as Robert Sarver of the Suns has been reported in the past week by ESPN. Even with the investigation ongoing, what should the NBA do? Is Sarver on his way out? I'll also take a trip around the Association to see what's the latest, including normalcy is back in the Eastern Conference, Joel Embiid will have to sit out due to a positive COVID test and is this the beginning of the end of LeBron James's indestructibility.

(1:03:52) The ongoing saga in Buffalo with center Jack Eichel has come to an end. He gets dealt to the Vegas Golden Knights for players and draft picks. Who got the better of the deal? Plus, Sidney Crosby's return to the ice from a wrist injury was brief (i.e. COVID) and the rest of what's happening on the ice as we're closing in on the first complete month of the NHL season.

(1:13:27) Canelo Alvarez has unified all four titles in the super middleweight division. With his record (57-1-2, 39 KO's) is he considered an all time great fighter in the history of boxing?

(1:20:05) In MMA, Kamaru Usman defeats longtime rival Colby Covington in a close decision on Saturday night as they've competed in ten fights! Is this one time (or five times) too many? Has this matchup become tiresome?

(1:22:50) Of course, I wrap up with my Hero and Zero of the Week.

A new day, new week and new month as November ushers into our consciousness so even with the leaves changing and the temperature dropping, the sports world continues to stay hot as I'll have plenty to say about it as Episode #222 is ready for your listening pleasure. On deck:

(6:53) The World Series has now made its turn past the weekend and into a Game 6 in Houston. I'll recap all that took place to this point as the Astros stave off elimination. Can the Astros extend this series? Will the Braves win Game 6? Or 7? What is a potential key factor the Astros as they do their best to push this series to a decisive winner take all, Game 7? I'll get into the length of these World Series games. What can they do to fix it? And can any of these hitters take a strike especially in the later innings? I'll also talk about the Padres hire of former A's manager, Bob Melvin. And the Mets continued, but failing pursuit for a VP of baseball operations and skipper to lead this franchise next year.

(33:56) NFL Week 8 had some intriguing outcomes as we inch closer to the midway point of the season. I'll share my winners (GB, NO) and losers (CIN, CLE) of the week. It's time for Odell Beckham Jr. to be dealt from Cleveland and other notes as I look back on the schedule this past Sunday.

(52:47) The Big Ten schedule has begun their Battle Royale slate as Michigan loses a brutal game to their in-state rivals, Michigan State. Iowa couldn't muster up any offense vs. Wisconsin and Penn State's comeback fell short vs. Ohio State as those games were the highlight in college football this past week. Does Michigan still have a shot at college football's Final Four? What about Michigan State?

(1:01:28) Who would've thought that the top of the Eastern Conference after two weeks would have the Knicks, Wizards, Bulls and Hornets as teams above the Sixers, Bucks, Nets and Celtics in the standing? Are these teams for real? Can they sustain this early season success?

(1:06:35) The Chicago Blackhawks have gone through the ringer and the season is only three weeks old. They've had several players come down with COVID, have not been able to win a game to date, but its the fallout from the sexual assault allegations regarding a former assistant coach towards a player, Kyle Beach, more than a decade ago that has rocked the organization and the league. In the process, the former coach, Joel Quenneville, who was in Florida coaching the Panthers, has resigned. I'll discuss the after effects of this sad and sordid story and take a look around the ice for the latest and greatest in the NHL.

(1:17:03) In closing, I have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

As we enter the week of Halloween, the sports world always has a couple of treats, but quite a few tricks. I'll pass out some of the good and bad as Episode #221 is ready for consumption. On deck:

(5:09) Baseball fans! The Fall Classic is set! I'll review the roads that the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves took to get to the World Series, the storylines of this upcoming series and how they'll fare as they shoot for a championship (and I'll have a prediction, of course). I'll also get into how the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers limp into the offseason, the Cardinals fire and hire a new manager and should former Giants GM Brian Sabean receive a call from the New York Mets about their front office position?

(33:35) NFL Week 7 was a complete atrocity. The schedule produced a lot of lopsided scores as it was a week to forget. I'll have my winners (CIN, LV) and losers (KC, SF) and take a peek at at Week 8 slate that looks just as bad as Week 7.

(47:32) Penn St. becomes the latest top ranked team to take an 'L' in college football, but the battle royale will begin in the Big Ten starting this weekend as the schedule intensifies in the conference. I'll discuss that, as well as, will Alabama get picked off before the SEC Championship Game based on their recent sloppy play?

(55:55) The Lakers and Nets have gotten off to not so good starts, but the talk in the Association is the saga of Ben Simmons and his likely departure in Philadelphia. What should the 76ers do? How will they go about getting rid of the mercurial point guard? I'll check on the hot and cold starts to some of the teams throughout the league. And you know, I have to add my two shiny red pennies to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team. How I disagree with a couple of selections and a few snubs that's getting traction, but not with yours truly. You won't want to miss on what I have to say about that!

(1:14:38) The NHL is into its second week. The Blackhawks are the latest team to get hit by COVID and they haven't won a game so far this season. I'll go through some of the teams that are making waves to this point and the others that surprisingly are scuffling out of the gate.

(1:17:57) And to close, there's my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "Astros Exorcism On Deck? Upstart Braves Make Series Return! Are The Bengals For Real? Big Ten Battle Royale! Time To Ship Ben Simmons, But W" on Spreaker.

I’ve got plenty of sports tricks and treats to serve as I close out October in spooky style as Episode 161 is up and running. On deck:

(2:37) I set up the podcast with a sports dilemma on the horizon that NO ONE has mentioned or brought up on TV, radio or other form of digital entertainment. I’ll explain later.

(3:39) I’ll recap the first five games of the World Series as the Dodgers are one win away from that elusive championship. I’ll get into various strategies by the managers AND analytics that’ll make you pull your hair out of your head. The euphoric, classic Game 4. Max Muncy’s nerve and preview a recipe for the Tampa Bay Rays to push it to a Game 7.

(25:29) The signing of Antonio Brown in Tampa Bay. What to possibly expect? The Ravens trade for a pass rushing lineman. All of the Week 7 winners and losers throughout the NFL, highlighting the Steelers rise, the Patriots fall, another putrid schedule in Week 8 and much more.

(49:24) The Big Ten enters the college football landscape and there’s already been a huge upset. I’ll discuss that, review a ho-hum Saturday and next week doesn’t look any better from a schedule perspective (except for Ohio State vs. Penn State)

(55:26) The NBA will decide later this week if a 72 game season starting before Christmas is feasible. What are the obstacles? Possibilities? Advantages? Disadvantages? I’ll share my thoughts on all of the above with analysis of coaching hires in New Orleans and Indiana. Also, is Gordon Hayward being shipped out of Boston?

(1:04:17) I close out with what I started at the top. How will we deal with the next two months (AT LEAST) with watching only ONE sport! A commentary that you won’t want to miss.

(1:09:22) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Need to get your fix on everything happening in the sports world? You’ve come to the right place as Episode 160 has it all and then some! On deck:

(35:38) The winners and losers of NFL Week 6 with tons of inexplicable two-point conversions abound, another ho-hum schedule and Steeler dominance vs. Cleveland. But a key loss on defense and an upcoming road schedule will be their toughest test heading into Week 7.

(59:43) College football is front and center as the Georgia Bulldogs can’t get over the hump vs. their nemesis in the Alabama Crimson Tide. I’ll breakdown the key games over the weekend and introduce the Big Ten schedule which will be introduced to the nation this upcoming weekend.

(1:07:48) Some NBA news regarding the new coach of the LA Clippers (Tyronn Lue), the exit of Rocket GM Daryl Morey and which direction should the Pelicans go to search for a new coach?

(1:13:32) Two notable signings in the NHL as Alex Pietrangelo has found a home (no, not St. Louis) and a grizzled veteran entering his 23rd year in the league (Joe Thornton), heads to Toronto on a one year deal.

(1:16:43) Allow me to partake on some history as the youngest lightweight with four different belts (Teofimo Lopez) was victorious Saturday night in a win over Vasiliy Lomachenko. Who’s next to defend his titles?

(1:19:10) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Ushering in November with some sizzling analysis (Episode 97) as I take you through the sports universe. Here’s what I got for you.

The disasters in New York (Jets) and Cleveland as both Adam Gase and Freddie Kitchens are feeling the heat in their first season as head coach. The Niners are the last undefeated team standing in the NFL. I’ll discuss how far they can take their streak, plus go around the league to chime about the Patriots first loss and other storylines throughout Week 9.

The Washington Nationals won their first World Series in historic fashion by winning all four games on the road. I’ll put a nice ribbon on their magic carpet ride, as well as, what the Astros did wrong, particularly in Game 7. I’ll also get into some of the top free agents on the market this off-season. And, of course, my insight on the new Met manager, Carlos Beltran, that you don’t want to miss.

I’ll share some thoughts on the NBA where there was a high scoring affair between the Rockets vs. Wizards, Stephen Curry’s broken hand and Joel Embiid is up to his stupid tactics yet again.

And don’t forget, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

There are plenty of sports tricks and treats as I close out October in fine fashion for this weeks edition (Episode 96) of The JAYREELZ Podcast. On deck:

As we’re just about halfway through the NFL season, it’s been a bit of a bore, if you ask me. I’ll explain why, including if the Patriots defense is an all time great considering what they’ve done to this point?

The Astros have come roaring back from an 0-2 deficit to claim the lead in the Series as it shifts back to Houston. I’ll recap how they came back, why the Nationals have fallen flat and what to expect as the baseball season is coming to a close. Speaking of close, the Mets shut down the fans hopes of bringing manager, Joe Girardi, on board as he signs with the rival Phillies. You know I have a thing or two to say about this.

There is a new #1 in college football as the LSU Tigers have overtaken the Alabama Crimson Tide for the top dog in the country. We’ve had a couple of upsets with top ranked teams going down on Saturday. I’ll cover it all as the college game starts to heat up.

I’ll also discuss how the new challenge system worked in favor last night in the NBA, touch on the latest in the NHL as well as, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Back after a week off, there’s a plethora of sports chatter to get into as I present (Episode 95) to you all. On deck is the following:

The Yankees fell short of reaching the World Series, not only this year, but the entire decade for the first time in over 100 years. I promise to not throw a lot of dirt on their 2019 grave, but there are a few bullet points to get to regarding this series vs. Houston and their outlook for 2020. Including a thought about a trade chip on their squad that could bring back a top of the rotation pitcher.

I’ll preview the World Series between Washington vs. Houston with my bold prediction. I’ll also chime in on the latest rumors regarding the Mets managerial position which you’ll get a kick out of.

NFL Week 7 was rather ehhh, to be quite honest, but I’ll share my thoughts on some of the top stories of the weekend throughout the league.

Tua Tagovailoa’s ankle injury and surgery was the biggest news coming out of college football this weekend. Will that affect their national title hopes?

The NBA season is about to get underway. I’ll get into the top storylines heading into this campaign, over/under win totals, NBA Finals predictions, as we get ready to usher in another year for the Association.

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Are you ready to pop open some peanuts and Cracker Jack? The 2019 MLB season is here! I’ll cover everything on what this year has to offer on this special baseball preview of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Yankees didn’t make a big splash this offseason, but certainly made some tweaks to an already robust lineup and lethal bullpen. I’ll discuss what are the keys to another big season in the Bronx and will they make it deep into October to capture that elusive  28th World Series flag? As for the Mets, we know it’s a bunch of what if’s, but there are three critical points in order for them to have a successful season. Listen to my analysis of what the Amazins’ can do to make it back to the playoffs for the first time in three years. I’ll also handicap all of the divisions in baseball, who’ll make it to the postseason, who will surprise and disappoint, my six over/under predictions and which team will be standing on the MLB mountaintop with the World Series crown this year. Wall to wall baseball to get you prepared for the 162 game marathon and beyond on this special edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 61)

We cap off an exciting October of sports and crown a baseball champion on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Boston Red Sox have won their fourth World Series title since 2004. I’ll delve into what it took for them to reach the MLB mountaintop and also dissect where it all went wrong for the Dodgers as they lose their second consecutive Fall Classic at home. I’ll also deep dive into what it must feel like for the Yankee fan the day after and where the rivalry next year could be headed between the two organizations. Plus, my thoughts on the Mets new GM, Brodie Van Wagenen and whether or not they made the right choice to take this team to the next level. I’ll recap all of Week 8 in the NFL, including the end of the 2018 Giants at the halfway point, with the Jets not that far behind. And insight on the debacle in Jacksonville, the Rams halfway to a perfect regular season and when Le’Veon Bell may come back to play with the Steelers. Don’t forget the week that was, and upcoming in college football, the NHL and what’s with all of these high scoring games in the NBA? Quite a bit to get into for your edification on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 37)
