Remembering Kobe Bryant, Super Bowl LIV Preview, First Ballot HOF For Eli? Zion's Intro To NBA, Coco's Pressure For US Tennis, NHL Second Half, Mets Mgr. Take Two
It’s a Super, yet somber episode (#111) filled with tons of sports chatter and remembering the life of an NBA legend on the latest edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. On deck:
The untimely and unfortunate passing of Los Angeles Laker great, Kobe Bryant as he, his daughter and seven other passengers perish in a helicopter accident in Calabasas, CA. I’ll share what I remember most about this future Hall of Famer, his achievements and the mark that he’s left on a generation with the young NBA players today.
I’ll preview Super Bowl LIV as the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will face off for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I’ll get into the key matchups, things to look for and my prediction as to who’ll be the last team standing in this NFL season. I’ll also talk about the end of an era for a one Eli Manning as he announced his retirement. What does that mean for the other QB’s in the 2004 Draft? (i.e. Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger) Also, is he a first ballot Hall of Famer?
The NHL’s second half is underway. I’ll take an early look into the playoff chase, teams jockeying for position, who can make a late run, etc.
The Mets have hired their second manager in almost three months. Let’s see if the next man up (Luis Rojas) will fit the bill as spring training is just two weeks and change from today. I’ll share my thoughts on the newly minted Hall of Fame Class of 2020 in Derek Jeter (no-brainer) and Larry Walker (ehhhh) and those who fell short (Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens) Do they have a shot next year?
The latest in the NBA regarding Zion Williamson’s intro to the NBA, Coco Gauff’s rise to put American Tennis on the map, my Hero and Zero of the Week and much more.
