It’s time to uncover the weekend and beyond of what’s taking place and what’s forthcoming when it comes to what’s between the white lines in the world of sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:37) Baseball is now one step closer to a World Series as the League Championship Series have begun in the AL, with the NL to follow tonight. Are the Mariners destined to get to their first ever Fall Classic? After winning Game 1 vs. Toronto, you’d have to say it could be the case. I’ll preview the NLCS between the Dodgers-Brewers. Does Milwaukee have a psychological advantage after taking all six games from LA during the regular season? I’ll share what my best World Series matchup would be? And sadly touch on the passing of former Red Sox OF Mike Greenwell who passed away at 62.

(35:06) It was a rather ho-hum NFL Week 6, but the big storyline from yesterday are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Are they a legit Super Bowl contender? I’ll check on what else transpired yesterday as the season is a third of the way into their schedule.

(49:12) I have to shut up about Indiana Hoosier football. They impressed by winning at Oregon and finally beat a team of high ilk. Will this continue? As for a team that was expected to be back in the college football playoff, things have gone south at Penn State as they’ve lost three in a row and fired their head coach, James Franklin. Was it premature? Or was now the right time?

(58:51) LeBron James will be sidelined for 3-4 weeks with a sciatica issue. How will this impact the Lakers as the season commences a week from tomorrow? Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces who swept the Phoenix Mercury en route to their third title in four years.

(1:03:27) Almost a week into the NHL season, there are a few things to discuss (Panthers off to 3-0 start. Same for the Bruins. Glowing reviews of Islanders #1 overall pick, Matthew Schaefer)

And MUCH MORE in between.

It’s a great day to celebrate as I get set to uncover all that’s going on in the world of sports as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:21) Both the AL & NLDS has some life as baseball should take us into the weekend with some drama. The Phillies get off the deck and stave off elimination in LA, while the Cubs to the same against Milwaukee. Will they push their respective series to a fifth game? There’ll be a fifth game in Seattle as the Tigers even up the best of five with Tarik Skubal trying to get his team to the ALCS. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have punched their ticket to the next round by defeating the Yankees three games to one, which means a happy Yankee postmortem is forthcoming to start the podcast.

(40:12) NFL Week 6 is so-so with a few good matchups to chew on. Can we please stop showing the Chiefs on national TV. I know why they do so, but still. 

(45:52) College football Week 7 actually looks better than the pros as I’ll break down what to watch for, especially Indiana showing if they belong against Oregon.

(49:34) The NHL season is underway, but the buzz surrounding a certain superstar moving on from his current team has been put to rest.

(54:21) With the NBA tipping off in a week and a half, Giannis Antetokounmpo had a few things to say about him staying or leaving from Milwaukee. Did you get fooled by LeBron James’s ‘second’ decision? The WNBA season is coming to a close as the Las Vegas Aces are one game away from another title. 

And MUCH MORE in between.

Thrilling Game 3’s In MLB Wild Card. AL/NLDS Storylines. Shedeur Sanders Watch In CLE? Light College Week 6 Sked. WNBA Commish On Hot Seat? Warriors/Kuminga Agree, But Is There More To Come?

October is here. Which means it’s time to begin new seasons, in the middle of a couple of others and the conclusion of another where there’ll be lots of scrutiny, attention and intrigue. I’ll have it all for you right here as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:48) MLB will have the first ever trio of Game 3’s in the wild card round. I’ll breakdown how we got here, who will possibly move onto the Division Series and highlight the storylines involving the four teams (Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Toronto & Seattle) as play will commence on Saturday.

(39:18) NFL Week 5 kicks off with an NFC West battle between division rival San Francisco vs. LA Rams. As for the rest of the schedule? It’s actually pretty light. Also, the Browns have benched Joe Flacco with rookie QB Dillon Gabriel being promoted to starter. Do we really have to monitor when Shedeur Sanders may be able to play?

(52:14) Nothing much is brewing on the college football schedule as Week 6 is upon us.

(54:50) Minnesota Wild sniper Kirill Kaprizov is now the highest paid player in the history of the NHL as the season begins on Tuesday? If he’s worth that much, what is free agent to possibly be Connor McDavid’s asking price?

(59:32) The WNBA Finals are set as Las Vegas will face Phoenix starting tomorrow night. The bigger story is how one of its top players (and WNBA vice president of players, Napheesa Collier) has called out the commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, for displaying the ‘worst leadership’ in sports. Is she in danger of losing her job? Was Collier out of line for publicly expressing herself?

(1:10:38) Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga signs a two year deal after a stalemate between he and the team throughout the summer. Is the hatchet buried? Or is there a possibility that something else could be brewing down the road?

And MUCH MORE in between.

NBA On Notice As Mavs Reset With Flagg. Celtics Retool Roster. Low Cut Sneakers Big Cause Of Achilles Injuries? Mets FINALLY Get Off Deck vs. ATL. MLB Fans Need To Chill! Islanders On The Clock!

There’s plenty of sizzle out there as summer is coming in like a lion (depending on where you live, of course) but the heat will continue to rise as I’ve got a few things on my mind when it comes to what’s happening in sports as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:45) The Mavericks finally get their man as Cooper Flagg is the first pick in the NBA Draft, plus other notables from Round 1. The Celtics retool their roster with Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis dealt to get under the second apron. Are low cut sneakers the cause for rash of Achilles injuries? Does the draft need a second night of TV coverage?

(32:23) Finally, the Mets beat their divisional rival Atlanta Braves. There’s some intrigue for the top spot in the NL Central and AL East. Why are fans out of control recently after incidents involving a couple of players, in particular Diamondbacks Ketel Marte?

(46:35) The NY Islanders are on the clock as the NHL Draft commences tomorrow night. The latest class of hockey Hall of Famers have been announced. Are they shoo-ins for enshrinement? And will there be a new, expanded schedule for the 2026-27 season?

And MUCH more in between.

Yankees/Mets Involved In The ONLY Race To MLB Playoffs. Is Florida St. STILL A Playoff Possibility? US Tennis Players Rising At Open. NHL’s Highest Paid Player On EDM, NOT Named McDavid?

Impact-Site-Verification: 2d5539cc-2f50-42c3-aa0b-3c635245e58d

I’m honored to welcome in a new partnership to the podcast. Are you familiar with OLIPOP soda?  Please go to www.drinkolipop.com, use promo code JAYREELZ for 15% off of your purchase.

Riding through the sports country with plenty of destinations to visit as I conclude a crazy week with whatever’s happening throughout the landscape. On deck:

(2:51) A bit of housekeeping to get into. If you’re looking for some NFL talk or a preview of the 2024 season, you’ll have to go to the previous podcast as I released that just hours ago. I have to shout out my brother Justin as he celebrates a birthday today. Of course, please drink OLIPOP soda and see promo above.

(5:54) It seems as if the MLB playoff landscape is coming down to two races, both involving the New York teams. The Yankees have been neck and neck with the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East all summer long. With their recent struggles, can they capture the division flag? As for the Mets, they’re riding a seven game winning streak, just a half game behind the final wild card spot in the NL. Can they keep pace with the Atlanta Braves, with whom they’re battling for the #6 seed? I’ll get into how the Royals have sputtered but are in good shape of securing a wild card spot. Fernando Tatis’s return to the Padres lineup as they’ll need his presence the rest of the way. We’re just three and a half weeks away from the conclusion of the regular season.

(24:26) Florida St. put up an embarrassing performance on Monday night after losing in Dublin, Ireland to start 0-2. Do they still have a shot to secure a playoff spot after their rough start? It’s a weak college football schedule this weekend as the highlight is #3 Texas in #10 Michigan at high noon on Saturday.

(31:40) There’s been a pleasant surprise at the US Open this week. You have three US players (Taylor Fritz, Francis Tiafoe and Jessica Pegula) still alive searching for their first ever Grand Slam championship. I’ll address their runs to the semifinals. Do they have a shot to win the whole thing?

(38:50) If I asked you, who is the highest paid player in the NHL as of this moment, you’d probably say Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers. Well, you’d be half right. His teammate, Leon Draisaitl just inked an eight year deal worth $14M a year. What do you think the three time MVP and face of the league would get if this was his walk year?

MLB Teams Trying To Crash Playoff Party? Is Georgia On A Mission In College Football? NFL Over/Unders Review. Tragedy Strikes NHL. Shocking US Open Upsets! Scheffler Stamps #1 Golfer

I’m honored to welcome in a new partnership to the podcast. Are you familiar with OLIPOP soda?  Please go to www.drinkolipop.com, use promo code JAYREELZ for 15% off of your purchase.

The unofficial ending of summer brings a new beginning as the sports universe gets resurrected after a slow couple of months. Here to detail all that’s happening as I have a lot to get into. On deck:

(2:59) We can all rejoice as the sports universe will start to pick up after an expected, but rough six weeks or so. I’ll tend to some housekeeping before I kick off the podcast (i.e. latest vlog on my YouTube channel below, a mention of a sponsor in OLIPOP soda, please see above) with another sponsor about to be introduced to you guys and gals in the coming days.

(5:35) Baseball is down to its final four weeks of the regular season. Could there be a turn in the pennant chase, in both the division and wild card races? There are a couple of teams that have thrusted them into the discussion over the past few days, including my beloved NY Mets. I also bring up the fact that the Chicago White Sox are headed to regular season futility after getting swept over the weekend and now have lost seven in a row. I’ll see where we’re at with the latest throughout the sport as to who is where, how far behind and how close will these races will be as we get to the homestretch of the season.

(30:13) College football is here! Is this going to be a year of reckoning for the Georgia Bulldogs after their thrashing of Clemson? The Miami Hurricanes are trying to take a step towards their halcyon days after beating up the Florida Gators. Texas A&M hung in there vs. Notre Dame, but the Fightin’ Irish pulled away late to win at College Station. USC upset the LSU Tigers out in Sin City last night as the first week will be completed after Florida St. hosts Boston College tonight.

(39:41) I’ll unpack the over/under win total numbers in the NFL as I’ll tease on a couple that I’m interested in. I’ll reveal those on Thursday’s podcast. Now that Brandon Aiyuk signed on the dotted line in San Francisco, what about Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons and Haason Reddick? Speaking of the 49ers, thankfully rookie wideout Rickey Pearsall survived a huge scare as a robbery attempt was near fatal in broad daylight.

(49:50) A terrible tragedy transpired late Thursday night as Blue Jackets winger Johnny Gaudreau & his brother Matthew died in a car/bike accident is South Jersey prior to their sisters wedding the day after. Seth Jarvis of the Carolina Hurricanes hits the jackpot with a new eight year deal worth over $63 million dollars.

(54:17) What a whirlwind the US Open has been over the last four days? You’ve had three major stars OUSTED as Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff did not make it to Week 2. Is that a good thing for a sport that needs their stars to go deep into these tournaments?

(1:03:40) I’ll highlight a few NBA signings that took place this past week.

(1:04:16) Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup yesterday. It’s not a Grand Slam major, but it is his sixth this year on the Tour. He is the number one player in golf. Could there be a faction that feel Xander Schauffele is part of the ‘best golfer in the world’ discussion, with TWO majors under his belt this year alone?

The Mets Postseason Hopes On Life Support, NL/AL Wild Card Recap, NFL Player Movement, Novak 'Retires' From US Open

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.
