The weather is getting cooler, the days shorter but the sports talk is always a steady constant as I deliver the latest podcast for your edification. On deck:

(3:00) The time has come. The MLB postseason is just about here. It's the eve of the wild card weekend as I'll preview the four series (TB-CLE, PHI-STL, SEA-TOR & SD-NYM) look at the top storylines (Oh! The Mets are one of them, of course!) and predict who'll move on to the Division Series next week? I'll revise my World Series pick, go through my over/under win totals for the year and some manager news in Chicago (White Sox) Anaheim and KC to close out the baseball segment.

(31:40) NFL Week 5 is upon us. I'll recap the Rams rough loss in San Francisco on Monday night and the possibility of it being a long year for the Super Bowl Champions. I'll peek at the upcoming schedule this Sunday. It doesn't seem to be a thrilling slate with the Cowboys-Rams and Bengals-Ravens being the top games of the week.

(38:31) College football this Saturday doesn't have the same appeal as last week. One game to keep an eye on is Tennessee playing at LSU, which is a big test for the Volunteers, but even bigger for LSU coach, Brian Kelly. Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher will compete against Nick Saban in Alabama Saturday night after feuding this past summer over recruiting. Will they be cordial? Or could there be a chance Saban runs up the score?

(42:16) The NBA preseason is in full swing. Draymond Green is in the news as he punches fellow teammate, Jordan Poole during practice. Is this something that we'll have to keep an eye on with the defending champs? And an NBA team in Vegas? LeBron James would like to see it. Is it a possibility?

(45:21) Then there's the NHL as the season will begin tomorrow in Prague, Czech Republic between the Sharks-Predators. I'll go through the over/under point totals as I'll choose six of them on Monday's podcast. And give kudos to the Islanders signing Mathew Barzal to a long term contract.

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.

Listen to "The Hunt For Red October/MLB Postseason Preview, Trolling Yankee Fans. Mets: Is Mickey Out? NFL WK 4 Takeaways. NHL '19-'20, Kyrie's 'I Fail" on Spreaker.

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.

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.

Listen to "NFL Week 2 Storylines (Officiating, Bold Two Pt. Conversions) Big Ben Done for '19, Mets On Life Support, Pete Alonso's Ascent, MLB Wild Car" on Spreaker.

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.

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

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.

Are you ready for some football? We're just days away from the start of the 100th season of the National Football League. I'll catch up on all of the player movement that took place over the weekend. Are the Miami Dolphins tanking? And I'll rehash if we've seen the death of the NFL preseason as we know it.

I'll also chime in on the latest that's going on at the US Open Tennis Tournament, Week 1 of the college football season, and of course, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

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.

I'll also have my Hero and Zero of the Week.

One of the best sports months of the year has arrived. I’m here to usher it in with fast and furious sports talk on the latest edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. When you’re the New York Yankees, it’s all about October. Wednesday night, they’ll host the wild card game in the Bronx vs. the Oakland A’s.

You’ll hear what I have to say about both squads (WARNING to Giant fans: It’s not going to be pretty) and roundup all of the crazy action of Week 4 in the NFL, including last nights’ debacle in Pittsburgh. If you think dissecting the Giants isn't going to be a pretty one, wait ‘till you hear what I have to say about the Steelers? Another NHL season is on the horizon. I’ll discuss the locals (Rangers, Islanders and Devils) and what they may have in store and make a prediction on who’ll play for the Stanley Cup next spring. I’ll also add a word on Ohio State’s remarkable comeback in Happy Valley vs. Penn State and sprinkle a couple of other things as October kicks off a wild and crazy sports month on this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast.

The ides of September packs a mighty sports punch and I’ll deliver all of what it has to offer on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Jets weren’t able to overcome their own mistakes as they fall in their home opener to their division rivals, the Miami Dolphins. While in Dallas, the Giants have to pick themselves off the deck with an uninspiring performance against the Cowboys. I’ll discuss how both teams need to rebound from these tough losses, including can the Jets bounce back in a quick turnaround Thursday night in Cleveland? I’ll recap another wild Week 2 in the NFL, with a few hot takes on the Steelers poor performance at home vs. the Chiefs and why the NFL needs to make a tweak on its OT rule? The Yankees are stumbling in September as they seem to be running out of gas towards game 162. In come the AL division leading Red Sox for three games, in which they can wrap up the AL East title with a victory. Hear my thoughts on the concerns of this Yankee team as they continue to battle to secure their home field advantage for the AL Wild Card. Plus, the latest in a crazy pennant chase throughout the MLB. I’ll even give my two cents on the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin and why I didn’t even bother to watch!
