NFL's '4th Quarter', Week 13 Winners/Losers, FBS 'Chalk', Wall/Russ Trade, Lakers Repeat Chances, #1 Zags COVID Conflict, NHL Outdoors? Floyd/Paul Bout?
Keeping you up to date on everything that’s happening in the world of sports, Episode 167 has chock full of opinions, analysis for the casual or diehard fan. On deck:
(3:14) The NFL’s is headed into the ‘4th quarter’ of their season. The race to the playoffs are starting to heat up. My thoughts on the winners and losers of Week 13. Are the Cardinals ready for primetime? A QB controversy in Philadelphia? Jadaveon Clowney’s resume. Is he a bust? Are the Panthers the next ‘COVID’ tem? The latest on the AFC and NFC playoff picture and looking back at my over/under predictions. How they fare after 13 weeks?
(41:28) The college football season has been far from dramatic as the top four teams in the country are staking their claim to meet in the college football playoff on New Year’s Eve. There’s been some controversy surrounding Michigan-Ohio St. this coming weekend. I’ll discuss that, as well as, BYU falling short and could a playoff system worked during this unprecedented year?
(48:09) The NBA introduces its preseason schedule this week. There’s lot to cover, including the Russell Westbrook-John Wall trade. How will they do in their new cities? James Harden’s ‘excuse’ from the Rockets? Are the Lakers primed for a repeat? Zion Williamson’s minutes restriction lifted and much more.
(53:58) The #1 team in college basketball is already facing a COVID outbreak. What does this mean for Gonzaga and other teams moving forward during this time? Will teams be able to make up games? Will a certain amount of games played qualify for the NCAA Tournament? And Kentucky is faced with a rough start, the first of its kind in TWO decades!
(59:34) I’ll take a short trip throughout the MLB on a couple of names that have been in the news this past week (Phillies Zach Wheeler and former Cub Kyle Schwarber)
(1:01:59) The NHL is up against it as it’s trying to raise the curtain on their season in roughly five weeks. The latest between the owners and players. Are outdoor games on the agenda for the league? LA and Boston are two teams that are taking a look.
(1:06:06) Floyd Mayweather is promoting another one of these exhibition fights, this time with Jake Paul’s brother, Logan. Why this is a complete waste of time? And how your money will be best spent if you’re thinking about purchasing this pay-per-view event? You won’t want to miss that.
(1:09:40) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
