NFL Week 15 Kicks Off Homestretch. Celtics-Lakers Renew Rivalry! Appreciating Ovechkin's 800th Goal Milestone. Giants Bank On Correa Being 'The Man'. Messi's Shot At Immortality In World Cup Final


I'll be making my sports list, checking it twice and try to find out who's naughty or nice as the latest podcast has plenty of early Christmas cheer and jeer. On deck:

(3:27) We're down to the final four weeks of the NFL season. I'll go in on the schedule for Week 15, starting off with Seattle hosting San Francisco in a big game for the Seahawks. Three games on Saturday, highlighted by Miami in Buffalo. Sunday's slate is ok, not spectacular as Dallas is in Jacksonville, Tennessee visits the Chargers and what's left of Tampa Bay hosts Cincinnati. There were a couple of transactions with teams on the verge of making deep playoff runs as I'll break down Cole Beasley back in Buffalo and T.Y. Hilton signing with Dallas.

(21:25) I'll spend a minute remembering Mississippi St. coach, Mike Leach as he passed away due to heart failure at the age of 61.

(22:49) The Celtics and Lakers renewed their rivalry for the first time this year, with a thrilling win in OT for the C's as I take a little trip down memory lane to a couple of other regular season classic games between the two teams. I'll get into what's happening throughout the Association, including Steph Curry's shoulder injury. And a possible changing of the guard at the top of the Western Conference?

(32:14) Capitals winger, Alexander Ovechkin reached a milestone only two other players have ever accomplished in the 100 plus year history of the NHL, as he had a hat trick to score 800 goals in his illustious career. Why he should be appreciated and celebrated for this achievement? Plus, all that's happening on the ice over the past few days.

(39:43) Carlos Correa signs the fourth largest contract in MLB history as he becomes a member of the San Francisco Giants. I'll tell you why he's not worth it? There was a shrewd trade made by the Braves bringing in Sean Murphy from Oakland. Why that could turn out to be another great move by a well run organization in Atlanta. Former Mets Chris Bassitt (inks a three year deal with Toronto) and Adam Ottavino (still a free agent) as we get deeper into the offseason.

(50:35) And then there are two. Argentina will play defending World Cup champion France for the 2022 World Cup Title. I'll recap the semifinal round, leading up to the finale come Sunday. What this match means for Argentina's Lionel Messi? I'll share who I'm rooting for and have my fingers crossed that the game DOES NOT come down to penalty kicks!
