Bengals Must Win, Bills Un-Playoff Bound? Browns Bad Luck Leads Week 11. Georgia/WSH Headline College Saturday. Tired Of Draymond's Antics. Same For Yankee GM Cashman. Isles Coach On Plank?
Closing out another week with plenty of passion and fire to what the sports world has contributed over the past few days as the latest podcast is here. On deck:
(3:08) NFL Week 11 kicks off with an intriguing AFC North matchup as the Bengals visit the Ravens tonight, in a absolute must win for Cincinnati. There are a couple of storylines that have taken place over the last few days. The Buffalo Bills dropped to 5-5 on Monday night, which poses the question, are they in danger of missing the playoffs? What about the Cleveland Browns luck? After one of the bigger regular season games that they've won in quite some time against Baltimore on Sunday, they lose their starting QB, Deshaun Watson to a fracture in his throwing shoulder. Do they have enough to get by and make it to the postseason? I'll get into some of the key games on the schedule this week, including a Super Bowl matchup on Monday night as the Eagles visit the Chiefs.
(20:57) College football only has two games of note this Saturday (Georgia-Tennessee & Washington-Oregon St.) that could impact the college football playoff mix. We're still a few weeks away from figuring who'll make it and who won't, but I'll touch on what may lie ahead as the season is down to its final few weeks.
(26:39) Is anyone else sick of the antics and chicanery of Warriors forward Draymond Green? He was suspended for his involvement in a fracas with Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert where he received a five game layoff. When does it ever stop when it comes to the temperament of Green? I'll make a mention of an aspect of what I don't like about the in-season tournament as the Sixers are done with the Celtics playing in Philadelphia. Also, do we have to keep an eye on the health of Lakers big man Anthony Davis, after a putrid performance vs. Sacramento last night and not blaming it on a recent hip injury?
(37:18) College basketball is back in our consciousness. I'll briefly touch on the first week of the season and go over some teams to pay attention to.
(40:04) The MLB offseason/Hot Stove will start to heat up in the weeks to come. One thing that has me heated is how Yankee GM Brian Cashman has acted over the last week. Between calling his front office "pretty effing good" to calling out the health of one of his players (Giancarlo Stanton) how about he pipe down and start building a World Series contender, one that hasn't reached the baseball pinnacle in almost 15 years. Some sad news out of San Diego as owner Peter Seidler passed away at age 63.
(48:41) As for the ice, the NHL has been quiet. I'm not happy with my beloved NY Islanders as they're in the midst of a Western Canada/Pacific Northwest trip, where they've lost the first two games. Is their coach, Lane Lambert, already on the hot seat?
