The college football season concludes with Rivalry Weekend as I highlight the Jim Harbaugh era at Michigan with their matchup against Ohio State at home, plus the rest of the slate this weekend.

Is this the beginning of the end for Penguins great, Sidney Crosby? Also, the surprise team in the NHL thus far.

The Lakers lead the pack in the NBA, but it’s Luka Doncic’s world in Dallas. Has he become the leagues best player at the tender age of 20? Plus, AD’s first visit to NOLA, as I go around the Association for the latest and greatest.

AFC/NFC Separation, Chaos In Cleveland, NFL Throws Bone To Kaepernick, Tua's Done/Is Alabama Next? Return Of The Hockey Policeman? Carmelo's NBA Return/Warriors Tanking?

Episode 99 is jam packed with tons of sports nuggets for your edification. On deck:

The separation atop the AFC and the bottom of the NFC, the Texans are frauds, Ravens red hot (but I need to see this in January), the Eagles are still live for the NFC East, the Rams may fall short are some of the storylines I discuss. Including, the chaos in Cleveland between the Steelers and Browns. Why this WASN’T Mason Rudolph’s fault? How there may not be any retribution in two weeks for their next matchup? And the sham that was Colin Kaepernick’s workout and the part that the NFL played in it?

Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa is done for the season after dislocating his hip vs. Mississippi St. What does this means for Alabama’s playoff hopes and the two big losses in college football over the weekend.

The MLB’s investigating of the Houston Astros stealing signs going back to their 2017 World Championship season.

The return of the NHL policeman/tough guy? I’ll explain why.

Carmelo’s return to the NBA and the Warriors tanking? YOU’VE HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

Saints/Chiefs Stymied Among NFL Week 10 Storylines. Is Alabama Out of CFP? Will MLB Have Another Slow Off-Season? Plus, NBA & NHL Updates

Zooming through the sports landscape as I deliver (Episode 98) and all that happened this past week. Here’s what I got for you.

A lay of the NFL land through Week 10 as I discuss the Saints laying a huge egg at home, to the Falcons, no less. The Chiefs in Patrick Mahomes’s return lose to the Titans on the road. Lamar Jackson’s bid for MVP on the heels of a putrid NFL team in Cincinnati. The Steelers have come all the way back from an 0-3 start to put themselves in control of their own destiny for the AFC playoff race. Do the Browns have gas in the tank? Has the clock struck twelve for the Bills? I’ll have all of that for you, and then some, with a look ahead to Week 11.

LSU vs. Alabama was entertaining, but not the classic that people are making it out to be. I’ll recap the stars of this epic showdown, with the more important question. Will Alabama make the College Football Playoff this year?

The GM Meetings begin in Arizona today as the MLB Hot Stove will start to heat up. Could this be another slow off-season for the over 130 free agents to be making their way to new destinations?

I’ll also highlight the week that was on the ice (NHL) and on the hardwood (NBA)

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.

The Underwhelming NFL First Half, Patriots 'D': All Time Great? Nats Go Flat At Home, Astros On The Cusp. A New #1 In College Football, NBA Challenge Rule Paying Dividends?

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.

Another Winter I Can Sleep In Peace (RIP 2019 Yankees), Nats-Astros WS Preview. NFL Week 7, Tua's Ankle, NBA '19-20 Preview & Storylines

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.

The Overthinking Of October Baseball, Mets Next Manager Is? Two Unbeaten Teams Left & Other NFL Week 5 Storylines

CORRECTION: The NHL Carolina Hurricanes are off to an 3-0 start, not the Columbus Blue Jackets. My apologies for the faux pas.

The first podcast of October (Episode 94) will be sure to whet your sports appetite. Here’s what’s on deck:

The MLB postseason has been littered with highly questionable moves by managers when it comes to their starters and bullpen. I’ll discuss why overthinking has ruined some of these playoff games to date. I’ll also delve into these Division Series games in the AL/NL and my experience at Yankee Stadium as I was present for Game 1 vs. Minnesota. My beloved Mets made an unsurprising move as they’ve fired now former skipper, Mickey Callaway. What’s the plan for the front office as they’re looking to make a ‘splash’ in searching for their man to lead this team to the promised land? You know I’ll put in my two cents on this topic.

NFL Week 5 was pretty ho-hum, although you got an upset in Kansas City which now leaves us with only two unbeaten teams in the league (maybe one, after tonight’s Monday night matchup in San Francisco) I’ll check in on some of the big storylines of this past week and recap a tough loss for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I’ll also chime in on the latest in college football, the NHL, my Hero and Zero of the Week and a programming note that you won’t want to miss.

Closing out the month of September in grand fashion as Episode 93 will not disappoint when it comes what I have to say about what’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:

The MLB Postseason begins with the NL & AL Wild Card games on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll tell you who’ll move on to face the Dodgers and Astros respectively. I’ll also take an early look into the Division Series to preview what lies ahead for the Cardinals-Braves and Twins-Yankees. Plus, I have a message for Yankee fans out there, who had a few things to say about Pete Alonso breaking Aaron Judge’s rookie home run record from two years ago. You WON’T want to miss that! I’ll share a couple of thoughts about the Mets closing out their season in dramatic fashion and the future of Mickey Callaway as manager of the team.

NFL Week 4 was another crazy, unpredictable week if you’re in Tampa or LA (Rams), Cleveland, Oakland and Carolina. I’ll get into the top storylines of the week, look ahead to Week 5 and I’m still alive in my knockout pool as I’ll have a prediction for you as well.

The NHL & NBA seasons are upon us. The puck drops around the league on Wednesday as I’ll chime in on a few things, including my Stanley Cup prediction. And media day took place last week, with Brooklyn Nets G Kyrie Irving had a few interesting things to say about his former club in Boston.

I’ll have all of that and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

MLB Homestretch (AL/NL Wild Card Update) Yanks Prepare For Playoffs, NFL WK 3 Storylines (Daniel Jones, Minkah To PIT, 3-0 vs. 0-3, NBA Envy for NFL Players?) NBA Tampering Measures

Autumn has arrived! With that, a new episode (#92) that's chock full of sports talk. On deck:

We’re down to the final week of the baseball season. I’ll recap what’s happening in both the AL/NL Wild Card races. Will there be a play in game for CLE/TB? What happened to the Cubs? Mets still alive…barely. Also, has Mickey Callaway saved his job for 2020? What about expectations for next year regarding the Amazins? Then there are the Yankees, as they  have clinched their first division in seven years. Upon their celebration, word came down that a key contributor will not be on the team come October. I'll discuss what affect that may have on the team and the roster as they complete the final week of the regular season. I’ll add in a CC Sabathia for the Hall of Fame debate in there as well.

NFL Week 3 was so-so, but there are a couple of storylines to sink your teeth into.  The Daniel Jones era is off to a resounding start with the Giants. How I compare this first game to, dare I say, Michael Jordan’s NCAA Championship win at North Carolina. I’ll explore the career of Eli Manning and whether or not he’s destined for Canton, OH at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I’ll discuss the big trade in Pittsburgh as Minkah Fitzpatrick comes north as a #1 pick for next year goes south to Miami. The 3-0 teams vs. the 0-3 teams. As well as, are NFL players adopting the 'NBA player empowerment' mentality as a way to get their demands met?

Speaking of the NBA, I’ll share my thoughts on the latest measures to stop tampering from running rampant throughout the league moving forward. Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

NFL Week 2 Storylines (Officiating, Bold Two Pt. Conversions) Big Ben Done for '19, Mets On Life Support AGAIN, Pete Alonso's Ascent, MLB Wild Card Update, US Men's Basketball Disappointment

From last weeks' angry podcast to a somber one this week on Episode 91. On deck is the following:

Another wild and wacky NFL as Week 2 delivers lots of juicy storylines, including: The officiating throughout the league (another bad call for the Saints, Broncos hit with penalties in loss to the Bears) Losses at QB in New Orleans and Pittsburgh. Bold two point conversions. Ben Roethlisberger done for the season. How will his backup, Mason Rudolph, fare in getting a ton of the playing time? And much more as I go around the league.

The Mets playoff hopes are hanging by a thread with 13 games to go as they trail by four games in the NL Wild Card race. Can they pull off a miracle and make it to October? I'll explain why Pete Alonso is the future of this team and what should've been for a former Met who received early accolades, but never panned out to what we thought he'd become. Also, an up to the minute AL/NL Wild Card update and the hunt for baseballs' best record is on the line between the Yankees, Astros and Dodgers.

The US Men's Basketball team took a big hit in the FIBA World Cup as they finished in seventh place for the tournament. Is this cause for concern with the Olympics slated for next summer? I'll get into that, plus my Hero and Zero of the Week.

The 'Not Too High or Too Low' Theme From NFL Week 1, Except? Steelers 'Not Ready For Primetime', Mets 'Not Ready For Postseason' Tirades, MLB Wild Card Latest, Rafa Wins, Serena Loses AGAIN at US Open

I'm in a feisty, awful sports mood, so hide the women and children, because Episode 90 promises to be full of smoke and fire. On deck:

In fourteen NFL cities this morning, either they're setting up the Super Bowl parade route or ready to draft for the number one pick. But there are two excpetions. I'll explain. I'll also go around the league and assess the damage up in Foxborough as the Steelers no showed vs. the Patriots.

The Mets have put their postseason hopes in the trash after a brutal loss in Washington and losing two out of three vs. Philadelphia. Mickey Callaway may have seen his managerial position go out the window with some very questionable moves this week. I have plenty of ammunition on this and I'll also recap the latest in the AL & NL Wild Card races.

Rafael Nadal has inched closer in his quest to catch Roger Federer for most Mens' Grand Slam titles. Serena Williams has now lost back to back Wimbledon and US Open Finals as she's stuck on 23 Grand Slam victories. Hear my take on both legendary figures and what may lie ahead in 2020 now that the Tennis Slams are done for the year.

September has arrived, new beginnings on the horizon as we sink our teeth into Episode 88 of this latest sports talk party. On deck:

The Mets have fizzled at home where they've been successful, but have thrown their playoff hopes into Flushing Bay. I'll recap the week that was, and analyze if there's still a glimmer of hope? Plus, the AL/NL Wild Card races and the Yankees counting down the days until they secure their first division title in seven years, but shudder at the thought of one of their key players coming back.

Can This Magical Mets Run Continue? NL Wild Card Chase Heats Up. NFL Training Camp News, NBA's Rich Paul Rule

Episode 85 packs a short but powerful punch on the latest edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast.

The Mets are riding high after a successful homestand, capped by two unlikely wins vs. the Nationals. Can they bring this momentum to the Dirty South as they kick off a huge three game series vs. Atlanta? I'll look at their prospects this week, plus the rest of the NL Wild Card contenders (and AL) as things heat up in the pennant race.

The NFL has completed their first go round of exhibition games. Hear what I have to say about certain happenings going on throughout the league.

The NBA has adopted a new rule preventing unqualified agents to represent players coming into the league. It has been coined, 'The Rich Paul Rule', the agent who represents LeBron James, Anthony Davis, among others. I have a couple of thoughts on this and what could this mean for long term for aspiring agents working with players who are looking for representation.

'Am I Sucked In?' The Life Of Being A Met Fan & The NL Wild Card Chase In 2019

115 down. 47 to go. Three weeks ago, no Met fan could ever imagine this. Tomorrow (Friday) night, the race for the NL Wild Card commences as the Mets host the #1 WC seeded (at the moment) Washington Nationals in a three game series. If you're a baseball fan, a tortured, diehard fan of any team, but especially a Met fan, this is a podcast you won't want to miss.

On this special edition (Episode 84) of The JAYREELZ Podcast, I'll preview the upcoming series and ask the question, 'Are you sucked in?' The rallying cry for this franchise from famed Met closer of the 1973 team, Tug McGraw, is 'Ya Gotta Believe!' I'm not speaking for the fan base, but I have a good grasp of what the majority thinks. More importantly, I’ll provide in-depth analysis of whether or not this team will be one of the last two wild card teams standing in the NL? Or it'll end in bitter disappointment, which more often than not, is usually the case.

Episode 82 puts the lid on July as summer and the MLB Trade Deadline has lots of sizzle!

The Mets make a surprising move by adding former Blue Jay, Marcus Stroman to their starting rotation. Have they become buyers? Does GM Brodie Van Wagenen have another card up his sleeve? What about Noah Syndergaard? Zack Wheeler? I have plenty of thoughts on all of this, including....

What are the Yankees going to do to their rotation after their starters were gouged over the past week? With Stroman off the board, what does GM Brian Cashman do? Does he overspend for an ace?
