Another major snowstorm in a month isn’t going to stop me as the last week of February and the latest podcast is here, detailing all that’s happening in sports. On deck:

(3:39) I had to take a second to discuss about the Blizzard of 2026 in NYC as we have to dig out of another storm before we get to the month of March.

(5:04) The USA Men’s Hockey Team did it. They won their first gold medal since the Miracle on Ice back in 1980, defeating Canada 2-1 in OT. Despite the win, there’s a bit of a stain in my eyes as to how it was won, which quite a few people share the same sentiment. I’ll also put a bow on the Olympic Games as it wrapped up last night, with the next stop in France four years from now.

(18:58) That’ll lead me into the hockey as the season will resume on Wednesday. I’ll take a look into what could possibly transpire over the next two months as we get set for a sprint to the Stanley Cup Playoffs from here on out.

(34:52) The NBA is in full swing after the All-Star Break. I’ll go over some of the key games over the weekend and peek at the schedule this week as there are some interesting games forthcoming for the Detroit Pistons.

(42:25) College basketball had a huge weekend with the top four teams going at it against one another. I’ll recap Michigan-Duke and Arizona-Houston as the sport heats up with their biggest month just one week away.

(48:03) MLB’s exhibition season has begun, but overall things are quiet in the sport. There was some sad news coming out of the weekend as Pirates legend Bill Mazeroski died at the age of 89.

And MUCH MORE in between.

You can’t keep the sports world down as February keeps on swinging with plenty of action to unpack by yours truly. On deck:

(5:01) The final third of the NBA season resumes tonight. I’ll take a look into my crystal ball to see how the next two months will unfold, which teams have a legitimate shot to win the title and all of the latest news to prepare you for this sprint to the playoffs.

(34:00) College basketball is starting to heat up as we’re exactly one month away from the beginning of the NCAA Tournament. I’ll delve into some big wins (Michigan) and losses (UCONN & JT Toppin’s ACL tear) for some of the top ranked teams in the nation.

(38:08) The Winter Olympics are down to its final few days. Where do we stand with the ice hockey as we look forward to a Clash of the Titans between the US-Canada? Also, how was won medals in some of the other events that have taken place?

(50:11) There’s a shift in the players union for MLB. Tony Clark resigns amid scandal, while Bruce Meyer is the interim executive director. Will a new leader be appointed some time soon? I have a wild prediction on who could possible be next in line? More importantly, how does this impact the negotiation with the CBA expiring in December?

(1:05:24) Cuts and restructuring of contracts are starting to take into shape for the NFL’s offseason as the Dolphins let go of Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, while the Chiefs restructure the contract of Patrick Mahomes. Is a Hill/Chiefs reunion forthcoming? Plus, the 49ers have another international game on their schedule?

And MUCH MORE in between.

It’s another holiday Monday as I tiptoe through the sports landscape and share all of what’s happening in our favorite little playground. On deck:

(5:47) NBA All Star Weekend has come and gone. Have there actually been improvements to the format, game and festivities overall? I’ll also discuss where we’re at when it comes to reviewing the first two-thirds of the season.

(30:25) Arizona loses for the second time in a week, falling to Texas Tech in overtime. We’re just a month away from finding out who’ll play in March Madness as the NCAA Tournament isn’t that far off. 

(33:53) An absolute stunner at the Winter Olympics as men’s skater Ilia Malinin falls way short of winning the gold after his meltdown in the solo event on Friday. Was that a choke job? Is USA-Canada on a collision course for the gold medal on Sunday?

(49:05) Is college football really thinking about expanding the playoff field to 24 teams? Why I think that is absolutely a no-no for yours truly?

(57:02) Will Phillies 1B Bryce Harper make 2026 personal after the president of baseball ops said he wasn’t an elite player last year? Also, his former teammate Nick Castellanos was let go by the team and resurfaced in San Diego after he and the manager did not see eye to eye.

(1:08:53) Did anyone watch the Daytona 500? The winner actually has a connection to none other than Michael Jordan.

And MUCH MORE in between.

Closing out the first month of the new year the only way I know how, delivering top notch sports talk on a high level as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:25) Is it too early to start talking about Super Bowl LX? It may be since we’re ten days away, but the big news in the NFL is how did Bill Belichick not get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot? I have a solid reason why this is the case. Plus, all of the coaching hires in the sport over the past few days.

(26:40) The days of Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo seem to be numbered in Milwaukee. Where is his possible next destination? Will Jayson Tatum return this year after tearing his Achilles last May? I’ll also mention of couple of college basketball notes as I start to get into talking about what’s happening in that sport.

(42:16) The NHL is going on hiatus a week from today due to the Olympic break, but not before another outdoor Stadium Series game that’ll take place in Florida on Sunday.

(50:33) Tennis’s first major of 2026 is about to come to a close this weekend. I’ll peek in on the big matches that are forthcoming and review some of the losses to key players leading up to today.

And MUCH MORE in between.

Time to kick it in high gear as I have plenty of sports talk to unpack over the next hour as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:27) Luka’s emotional return and ‘closure’ in Dallas. Dissension in Denver as coach & GM are fired. How the West will unfold over the next three days? Celtics City: Episode 6.

(31:29) Florida’s guts, guile and grittiness wins National Championship, while Houston swallows another bitter loss.

(38:07) Toronto Maple Leafs in good shape to win Atlantic Division. Vancouver’s historic comeback and not much else in the NHL with a week to go.

(44:40) A couple of losing streaks (Yankees, Dodgers) and winning streak (Mets) snapped. Plus, a tragedy regarding two former MLB players in the Dominican Republic.

(50:42) Rory McIlroy’s quest to win a major (especially The Masters) as the spotlight is on him this weekend as I’ll preview the first golf major of the year.

(46:47) NBA’s Wild Wild West between the four-eight seeds.!

Ushering in April as we get set for PUH-lenty of sports chatter around these parts. Glad you’ve stopped on by to get all that you can handle as THISSSSSS…

(6:31) With a huge sports month ahead and long stretch through the Fourth of July, the sports world will be in a frenzy and I’ll make sure to provide all the information that you need. For starters, It’s a Final Four that we haven’t seen in 17 years. All four one seeds are standing. Auburn-Florida. Duke-Houston will battle it out to see who’ll match up in the championship game on Monday night. I’ll preview both games, which is the one game that the country (and the networks) want to see, as we get ready for what we’ll hope will be an epic clash of the titans come Saturday evening in San Antonio.

(20:38) We’re down to the final ten days of the NBA season. There’s not much to talk about in the East. Out West is intriguing. I’ll check the landscape and provide an update as to where we stand with the current playoff seedings. I’ll touch on Ja Morant’s latest incident, this time on the court and what could possibly come out of that? Anthony Davis’s breakout game vs. Atlanta. The aftermath of the brawl between the Pistons-Timberwolves, with official ownership to one time MLB player Alex Rodriguez. And the Hall of Fame calls on Carmelo Anthony.

(35:02) The NHL season will be completed two weeks from today. How will it play out in both Wild Card races? Who will rule the Atlantic? Alex Ovechkin is a hat trick away from immortality as I’ll deliver the latest on the ice.

(45:56) We’re a week into the baseball season. There seems to be no World Series hangover in LA as the Dodgers are 154 wins for perfection. Same for the Padres as well. Will the Braves ever win a game in light of them losing their LF on an 80 PED suspension? There were a couple of signings to two infielders in MLB that’ll be addressed.

(56:03) With the NFL Draft three weeks from today, there have been some rule changes regarding overtime and the kickoff that has me a bit puzzled. Browns owner Jimmy Haslem admitted that the Deshaun Watson trade was a big swing and a miss. Will he draft a QB with the second pick overall later this month?

Celebrating another lap around the track, I’ll get to that in a little while, on this April Fool’s eve, there’ll be no fooling around when it comes to me going all in on everything that’s happening in sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(5:52) As I commence the podcast, I’m asking for a bit of a favor. Today is my 56th birthday. I implore you (if you haven’t done so already) to please subscribe to the YouTube channel (@JAYREELZ) or whichever podcast platform you frequent (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.) I sincerely appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

(7:18) From 68 to four. For the first time since 2008 and the second time in Tournament history, all of the top seeds in each region will face off in the Final Four come Saturday in San Antonio. I’ll discuss how Florida, Auburn, Duke and Houston all got to this point as March Madness this year has been anything but.

(24:18) With less than two weeks remaining in the NBA season, why did the Memphis Grizzlies fire their head coach, Taylor Jenkins? Was it a move that was warranted? Or is this out of desperation? Kevin Durant suffers a left ankle sprain and will be out of the lineup for the immediate future. Are the Suns postseasons chances cooked? Have the 2024-25 Detroit Pistons gone back to yesteryear and are the Bad Boys 2.0? I’ll explain why while I’ll check in on where teams stand when it comes to the playoff chase in each conference. Quite frankly, there isn’t too much to write home about. Oh! If you’re not watching Celtics City on MAX, I suggest you start doing so.

(44:21) Are the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers the team to beat in the playoffs over Washington, Toronto and the like in the Eastern Conference? I’ll share why that may be the case, plus, Alex Ovechkin adds another goal to get that much closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record. (And a possible retirement for the Great 8! Stay with me! I’ll explain.) Sidney Crosby takes down a Gretzky record himself over the past few days. (Could Ovechkin or Crosby be on the NHL’s Mt. Rushmore?) A classy gesture by the Capitals towards goaltender Marc Andre Fleury. I’ll see where we are in the division and wild card playoff races as we’re less than three weeks from the conclusion of the season.

(57:48) We’re just four days into the MLB campaign. We have the Dodgers and Yankees on a pace to go 162-0, with the latter using bats that have caused a stir. The Marlins lead the NL East with three walk off wins, no less. And three teams who made the postseason last year are all winless (DET, MIL, ATL)

(1:07:55) Is it possible that the 49ers will move WR Brandon Aiyuk by tomorrow? In an already active offseason by the once removed NFC Champions, nothing is out of bounds.

Hope springs eternal as a new baseball season is here. We get closer to crowning a champion in college basketball and everything in between as the latest podcast is about to go down! On deck:

(6:30) A quick reminder to start off the pod. I released the 2025 MLB Preview earlier this morning on Apple, Spotify and all available platforms. It’s also on my YouTube channel as I streamed the preview yesterday, so please subscribe if you haven’t done so.

(7:42) March Madness returns as the Sweet Sixteen tips off tonight. Will we get plenty of drama, suspense and intrigue that we didn’t see much of last weekend?How about all of the one seeds advancing to a Final Four, which we haven’t seen since 2008? I’ll get into the eight games over the next two nights as we’re thisclose from getting to a Final Four in San Antonio?

(25:42) The Milwaukee Bucks deep playoff run/chances have taken a huge blow with the loss of Damian Lillard who is out indefinitely with a blood clot in his right calf. Is this curtains for the Bucks shot to get to a conference finals? I’ll talk about the Wild, Wild West where you have teams jockeying for playoff positioning from seeds 2-10.

(39:57) Alex Ovechkin gets closer to climbing the top of Mt. Gretzky as he’s six goals from breaking his goal scoring record all time. Will he actually do it over the last eleven games of the season? I’ll unpack the East and West wild card races as they’re heating up. Do the Islanders have a shot to qualify as their one point behind the final wild card spot at the moment?

(50:08) Play ball! Baseball season has arrived! I’ll take a look at the schedule over the weekend, with some pretty good matchups. There’s one that I’m fascinated by that you’d be very surprised that’s on my radar.

(57:16) With the NFL Draft a month away, will the Giants draft QB Sheduer Sanders with the third pick overall after signing Russell Wilson to a one year deal? Which leaves us with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the last team standing that needs a QB. Is Aaron Rodgers the guy they’ll turn to as they pretty much have no other signal caller to turn to?

A big week for the podcast as we usher in a new season for a spring/summer sport and a programming note that you won’t want to miss out on as the latest podcast is served. On deck:

(6:42) March Madness has been anything but, although yesterday you had some drama, but overall it has fallen relatively flat over the first four days. I’ll recap the upsets, including Arkansas stunning St. John’s, UConn giving all that Florida could handle and the travel that wasn’t called as Maryland’s buzzer beater over Colorado State was the game of the weekend yesterday as the Terrapins advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

(31:28) A bunch of returns are the storylines in the NBA as LeBron James comes back from a groin injury a couple of weeks ago. When will Anthony Davis and Nikola Jokic make their way back in the lineup after missing time with injuries. Jimmy Butler will visit Miami for the first time since he was traded last month tomorrow night. How will the response be from the fans? Also Steph Curry is looking to get back on the court as he could possibly play vs. the Heat. The Celtics were sold for over six billion dollars last week. I have a message for the new owner Bill Chisholm. And the Cavaliers snap a four game winning streak as they have a hold of the top spot in the East. I’ll break down the latest in the playoff standings to see who’s hot and who’s not. Also, my thoughts on the upcoming Celtics City episode on MAX tonight.

(49:20) Alexander Ovechkin is now seven goals away (with twelve games to play) from surpassing Wayne Gretzky all time on the goal scoring list. Is time starting to run out for the Capitals captain? There have been a couple of key injuries (Oilers Leon Draisaitl, Hurricanes Seth Jarvis) that we have to keep an eye on. The announcement of Pat Maroon retiring after this season. And is Houston the next city to get an NHL team? I’ll get into all that on top of what’s going on throughout the sport as the league is down to its final 10-12 games.

(1:01:07) MLB will make its entrance in 2025 come Thursday as the season begins.(NOTE: My 2025 baseball preview will take place on my YouTube channel during a livestream, Wednesday at 12pm ET. See link below to subscribe and watch) Why are the games on Opening Day starting at 3pm ET or later? I’ll go through some players that will start their year on IL (Yankees Clarke Schmidt, Orioles Gunnar Henderson and Rays Shane McClanahan) And will Vladimir Guerrero Jr. sign in Toronto before the season is up?

(1:09:32) I’ll briefly touch on Jameis Winston signing in New York with the Giants as all is quiet in the NFL.

(1:09:58) Unfortunately, I close out the pod on a sad note as former heavyweight champion George Foreman died on Friday night as I’ll highlight some of the great moments of his career.

Spring is officially here! The same for March Madness as I’ll unpack the NCAA Tournament and all that the sports world has to offer, as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:33) It’s time to witness and experience the Madness! The NCAA Tournament commences today. I’ll have a complete breakdown and analysis of the top storylines (Does UNC have a run in them? Will all 1 seeds meet in the Final Four? Who’ll get picked off first?) Among other intriguing topics, including my Final Four and National Champion predictions as we’ll go in full sprint over the next three weeks to see who ends up in San Antonio April 5-7.

(39:22) The NBA will take a backseat to college basketball over the weekend. It’s been rather quiet in the Association. Do I discuss Paul George being shut down in Philly? I’ll peep the standings and schedule to check the latest in the playoff seedings as we’re three and a half week from the season concluding.

(49:21) On the ice, things are looking like their basketball counterparts as there’s nothing to uncover, despite the wild card races in both conferences starting to heat up.

(57:11) Baseball season is underway, but we’re still a week away from Opening Day throughout the sport. The Dodgers are 2-0 after two wins in Japan over the Cubs. Is this team going to be a juggernaut? Or sleepwalk until October? Plus, a surprise regarding where I'll have my forthcoming 2025 MLB Preview that you won't want to miss.

(1:04:49) Wake me up when Aaron Rodgers either retires or signs on with a team. Besides that, I don’t want anything to do with him. The Houston Texans re-sign a couple of their own defensive players. And I make a brief mention of Rory McIlroy winning the TPC in a playoff and what that means with The Masters three weeks away.

Feeling a little bit green in these parts as St. Paddy’s 2025 has arrived, but so is the latest podcast as we get set to break out from the Sports Dead Zone, Pt. 1 over the past five weeks! On deck:

(6:36) We’ve finally gotten past the doldrums of the Super Bowl leading into this week, as March Madness is about to begin. I’ll go through the controversies of who was left out (West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio State & Boise State) and who was selected (North Carolina & Texas) as you’ll get my honest thoughts on this and other issues (No more Sunday championship games on the day where the committee selects who qualifies for the tournament. Games on TNT, TBS & TruTv, who has the hardest region, the easiest) as I get you ready for what’ll take place over the next couple of days, leading into the basketball bonanza of Thursday & Friday.

(35:08) As for what’s happening in the Association, the Cavaliers finally had their 16 game winning streak snapped at home vs. Orlando. Steph Curry has reached 4,000 three pointers made in his career. Is it worth celebrating? When will Knicks guard Jalen Brunson return? De’Aaron Fox is done for the year in San Antonio. Do I smell another tanking? I’ll explain. Plus, remembering Sonics legend, Slick Watts who passed away at 73. I’ll discuss the log jam out West and the lackluster East as we’re less than a month away from the end of the season.

(49:45) On the ice, all is quiet in the NHL. Alex Ovechkin is eight goals from topping Wayne Gretzky overall in the history of the league. How he can thwart any pressure over the last 15 games to secure his place before the regular season concludes? There are a couple of big time wild card races in each conference as I’ll dissect the latest playoff seeds with a little more than a bakers dozen games to go.

(56:38) Baseball begins tomorrow! Not the most conventional Opening Day that we’ll see, but the Dodgers are in Japan for a two game series vs. the Cubs. What are the expectations? Is it 162-0 or bust? A complete sweep (11-0) in the playoffs? The Yankees continue to deal with injuries to their pitching staff (Clarke Schmidt). Your Opening Day starter for the Mets comes as a surprise. Another position player turning to pitching (Joey Gallo) and the stadium issue in Tampa goes from bad to worse.

(1:08:49) NFL free agency will start to cool off a bit, but not without the Bengals making a historic big splash for both of their wideouts as Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins gets paid. I’ll keep you up to date on the most recent signings from Cooper Kupp to Cooper Rush over the past three, four days.

After a busy week of sports, we’re starting to see the light as we’re officially a week away from spring. I have some interesting topics to get into over the course of the next hour as latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:45)The Oklahoma City Thunder went into Boston and beat the defending champs last night in Boston. With the Cleveland Cavaliers on a 15 game winning streak and the best record in the sport, are both teams on a collision course to the NBA Finals? I’ll check the lay of the land in the Association as to where teams stand in the playoff picture as we’re exactly one month away from the season concluding. There was sad news regarding two former NBA players. Junior Bridgeman and Oliver Miller both pass away this week at the ages of 71 & 54 as I pay respects.

(34:11) It’s almost time for the Madness to begin. Conference Championship week in college basketball doesn’t have much when it comes to drama, but there is one team that all eyes are on. Will North Carolina get into the NCAA Tournament? What do they need to do to qualify?

(39:25) The Florida Panthers lose a key figure on their defense as Aaron Ekblad was suspended 20 games violating the league’s drug policy. How will this affect the defending champs down the stretch of the season? Do the Washington Capitals and Winnipeg Jets face similar issues that the Cavaliers and Thunder have in the NBA? Two teams that didn’t have big time expectations coming into this season but are having top notch regular seasons to this point. I’ll bring you up to speed on all that’s happening with the division and wild card races on the ice.

(47:30) NFL free agency is in full bloom as teams procure players for the fall and winter. Have there been any big time acquisitions that have moved the needle? I’ll unpack the top three storylines of the past week as we’re four days into this frenzy.

(1:01:24) Yankee fans, don’t despair. Gerrit Cole is done for 2025 and early 2026 with a torn UCL injury. His loss will be felt, but does this mean that the season is up in smoke? What about his return? Will he be a shell of his old self? Then we find out that former MVP Mo Vaughn was on HGH at the end of his career? Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gets paid as he was extended just a few days ago for the next four years.

(1:06:18) We won’t see Tiger Woods on the Tour this year as he suffered a ruptured Achilles injury. Is Tiger ever going to be anything close to what he once was?

After a super busy weekend in sports, I have my tail between my legs as I’ve got plenty to be sorry for. Don’t worry, I’ll explain it all over the next hour plus as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:42) I open up the podcast with several apologies for my performance on the most recent episode. (I’ll get into it throughout the course of this pod.) There was an NBA MVP battle between SGA & Nikola Jokic. Does Jokic deserve the award, even after losing to SGA yesterday? Who is the front runner at the moment. Also, the comparisons of this race to the NFL with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Is there any concern for LeBron James and the Lakers as he suffered a groin injury late in their loss to the Celtics on Saturday night? He’ll be out a week or two for rest and recovery. I’ll also talk about the Knicks Jalen Brunson, the signing of PJ Tucker, comments from former owner of the Mavericks Mark Cuban about the Luka Doncic deal, a mention of the MAX docu-series on the Celtics and Stephen A. Smith being confronted by LeBron James about his critique of his son. The final topic being a lightning rod, even for someone like myself, where having a platform like this comes a responsibility to uphold. You won’t want to miss those comments, plus all that’s happening in the Association.

(36:49) Has Auburn jeopardized their top seed in the country after losing to Alabama at home 93-91? Could this be a stretch where they could falter entering into the Tournament?

(41:42) The NHL experienced a wild trade deadline on Friday where players were being shipped left and right, most notably, the Bruins fire sale sending Brad Marchand to Florida. And Mikko Rantanen was sent packing again to Dallas for a boatload of picks. I’ll break down all of the major trades, including the Islanders Brock Nelson as teams jockey for playoff positioning down the stretch. Alex Ovechkin in now single digits (nine away) from surpassing Wayne Gretzky. Will the pressure consume him? Or will it be business as usual for the Capitals great? I’ll peek as to what’s going on in the sport with the latest postseason races in each conference.

(57:02) There were some record setting signings and a huge trade and signing by my beloved football team. The Steelers acquired DK Metcalf from the Seahawks for a 2nd round pick, but then paid the talented wideout a five year, $150M dollar deal in the process. The bigger question is, who’s the quarterback? Not Aaron Rodgers has been now rumored. I’ll share who I want as QB as the Steelers go all in on procuring a WR. I’ll dissect the deals inked by Josh Allen, Myles Garrett, Davante Adams (the first two were records in the league) as you’ll get a complete assessment of that and look ahead to free agency, which begins on Wednesday.

(1:06:51) Baseball is technically eight days away (in Tokyo with the Dodgers vs. Cubs) but we’re two and a half weeks away from the season beginning. There have been plenty of injuries that have taken place throughout MLB. The Yankees are holding their collective breaths for the second spring in a row surrounding Gerrit Cole. Is Tommy John likely after he left a start with elbow discomfort? The Orioles have to hold out their young starter, Grayson Rodriguez with the same issue. The Mets have to put catcher Francisco Alvarez on the shelf for 6-8 weeks with a broken hamate bone. Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s final offer to the Blue Jays was below $600 million dollars. How many years was he looking for? Is that too much? And the Athletics keep spending to have their nucleus in tact, extending OF Lawrence Butler to a six year deal.

(1:12:45) Alex Pereira loses his fifth defense of his light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev by unanimous decision on Saturday night. Is a rematch in order?

Is the sports dead zone, part 1 coming to a close? Perhaps not just yet, but you wouldn’t know by what has taken place over the past few days. I appreciate you stopping by to digest it all as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:38) Have you ever seen the plight of an organization fizzle out faster than the Dallas Mavericks? There’s so much to unpack from the owner, the GM, the coach, the team and most importantly, the fans. I’ll have a full assessment of what has taken place and what may lie ahead for the franchise. What does this mean for the Phoenix Suns? They’re currently a couple of games behind Dallas for the 10th spot in the West. Will the recent spat between Kevin Durant & Coach Mike Budenholzer propel them to turn their season around? As for the rest of the Association, SGA scores 51 to add to his MVP case. James Harden scores 50 at the age of 35. Two Celtics score 40 in the same game. It’s the first time that’s happened in Celtic history. Giannis reaches 20K points in his career. And LeBron James has scored 50K combined (regular season & postseason). Is that a significant record? I’ll peep the latest of both conferences when it comes to playoff positioning.

(38:37) College basketball will conclude its regular season on Sunday. Top ranked team in the nation Auburn loses to Texas A&M. Does that mean they’ll lose the #1 seed? Tennessee goes down to Ole Miss as the SEC continue to cannibalize one another. Will St. John’s get to a regional one seed? So much to still unfold as the tournament is two weeks from today.

(42:23) The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow at 3pm. There hasn’t been much activity when it comes to transactions. I have one team that NEEDS to make a move if they want to make a run in the playoffs. Alex Ovechkin is now ten goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals in league history. I’ll see where we’re at when it comes the latest in the playoff picture as things heat up on the ice.

(54:25) MLB fans! Three weeks from today, another season arrives. Two significant players on last year’s Mets team have signed with other clubs. (Jose Iglesias to SD & Jose Quintana to MIL) Could either one, or both, have made their way back to Queens? And Jose Altuve is going to play left field for the Astros? How will that go?

(59:41) A new NFL season is on the horizon. That’s right. Not as far as games being played, but open for business for transactions to take place. There have been players released (Darius Slay, Davante Adams, to name a couple) players asking to be traded (DK Metcalf) players signing with their teams (Saquon Barkley, Maxx Crosby, et. al.) And All-Pro guard Joe Thuney was traded to the Bears. Why was it smart for the Chiefs to trade an offensive lineman after watching Patrick Mahomes run for his life in Super Bowl LIV last month.

A new week, a new month is here and so is the latest podcast delivering all of what the sports world has to offer. On deck:

(6:26) I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank everyone who participated in Saturday’s 7th Anniversary Five Hour Livestream. It was a good time by all. If you happened to miss it, you can find it below on my YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/live/HrBSjY7sM_w?feature=share

(8:04) If you didn’t believe in the Cleveland Cavaliers before, I think you have to take them seriously at this point. After a great come from behind win in Boston on Friday night and in the middle of a ten game winning streak, are they the team to beat in the entire league? What kind of pressure have they put on themselves? I’ll unpack that, as well as, the Suns continue to fade out West. The Lakers are a two seed! How dangerous are they? Will Joel Embiid come back next year close to his MVP form? Steph’s 56. Pop won’t come back (this year) and much more as the Association has plenty to offer in early March.

(33:52) The Madness won’t begin just yet, but with March here, we’re anticipating a huge month in college basketball. Tennessee tops Alabama at the buzzer the other day, but St. John’s is the more fascinating story at the moment. They won the Big East Regular Season title for the first time in 40 years, which was the last time they went to a Final Four. Can they repeat what took place four decades ago this time around?

(41:33) Friday will be the NHL’s trade deadline. The Panthers and Rangers have made moves. Which other teams will wheel and deal before the end of the week? Alex Ovechkin is now ten goals away from climbing Mt. Gretzky and another goal was score by a netminder as Islanders Ilya Sorokin is the latest to do so.

(53:41) MLB commish Rob Manfred has to decide whether or not to lift the lifetime ban on Pete Rose. Is it finally time? Also, the Yankees have had a couple of rough days as pitcher Luis Gil may need an MRI on his throwing shoulder, Giancarlo Stanton will miss the start of the season with elbow inflammation and DJ LeMahieu had to leave a game due to a calf injury.

(59:07) With the salary cap in the NFL going up, what will Deebo Samuel get as he was traded to Washington for a 5th round pick. Is this a high risk, high reward deal for the Commanders? Matthew Stafford stays in LA. The Giants are flirting with Aaron Rodgers? And Myles Garrett will not sign an extension in Cleveland. What will they do with him and their second overall selection?

(1:05:25) Boxing had another bad look to their sport as Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. bout ends up in a draw due to a controversial non KO call by the ref which left the crowd at Barclays Center in Brooklyn shocked.

On the penultimate day of February with a new month and another year for the podcast on the horizon, you know I’m pumped up to deliver another fun filled hour of sports talk as the latest edition has arrived. On deck:

(6:18) A reminder for all as I’ll detail the 7th Anniversary Livestream that’ll take place on Saturday, March 1st, so you won’t want to miss this.

(7:44) Luka Doncic played against his former teammates for the first time in a win in LA over the Mavericks Tuesday night. He’s glad that it’s over, but is it really? I’ll go in on the Phoenix Suns as they are by far the biggest disappointment in the NBA this year. Should the organization blow things up at seasons’ end? There’s a heavyweight matchup tomorrow night in Boston as the Cavaliers will the face the Celtics. What will this mean in the grand scheme of things if the Celtics win? I’ll check on what else is going on throughout the Association (and props to Diana Taurasi, who’s retiring after a 20 year career in the WNBA) as we’re down to the final third of the season.

(25:26) As for what’s going on in college basketball, you had #4 ranked Florida upset by Georgia after coming back from a 26 point deficit. Is this a bad loss for the Gators? And Kansas has fallen out of the Top 25, which is a surprise, considering they were the preseason favorite #1 team in the nation.

(31:01) On the ice, Alex Ovechkin continues his assault on Wayne Gretzky’s goal scoring record as he’s 12 away from breaking it. The Rangers suffer a key loss on defense. How much will that hurt their playoff chances? And I’m appalled that the second rematch of last year’s Stanley Cup Final isn’t being broadcast at all as the Oilers try to snap their losing streak in Florida against the Panthers. There’s some sad news as I’ll pay respect to broadcaster Al Trautwig, who died at the age of 68.

(45:08) Have you heard about how much the Dodgers are dishing out in deferred money? And for how long? Ha! I’ll be more than happy to share that as I don’t want to hear about Bobby Bonilla Day anymore as long as I’m alive. Shohei Ohtani will make his spring debut tomorrow vs. his former team in the Angels. Will he pitch? Guardians patriarch and former owner, Lawrence Dolan, dies at 94.

(52:05) Can we finally say goodbye to the Tush Push? It may possibly come to fruition. Packers GM has come out to see if the play can get a permanent ban that the Eagles work to near perfection. Why I think the play needs to be pushed out forever? I’m not into all of these Matthew Stafford trade rumors as I’ll explain why. The Bengals have stated that they’ll pay WR Ja’Marr Chase the most in the sport as a non-QB. Why this could’ve been avoided dating back to a year ago?

With a handful of days left in the month and a celebration coming at the end of the week, you know I’m excited to share what lies ahead in the sports world and the podcast, so thanks for stopping by to consume it all as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:42) I’m pumped to share and remind everyone about the seventh anniversary of the podcast this Saturday, which will be a LIVESTREAM on YouTube. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears peeled for more information as we get closer to March 1st.

(7:12) It was a big week for the NHL with the success of the 4 Nations Face-Off I’m sure it was more than what the commissioner could’ve ever expected. Will there be any carryover as the season has resumed? Alex Ovechkin is now a bakers dozen away from passing Wayne Gretzky on the all time goal scoring list. Will he do it before the season is over? It’s time to dissect the Wild Card races in both the East and West. And with the trade deadline just ten days away, it should be a busy week as teams will look for reinforcements as we get to the final third of the season.

(28:19) On the hardwood, you have to be heavily concerned about the NY Knicks. They not only lost, but they were destroyed out of the All-Star Break losing big to Cleveland and Boston on the road. Are they missing a certain ingredient? Are they title worthy? Things aren’t looking up in San Antonio as phenom Victor Wembanyama will sit out the rest of the season with a blood clot, while coach Gregg Popovich won’t return as he’s recovering from a stroke. What will the Sixers do with Joel Embiid? Surgery on his knee? Just rest? The conundrum is that they are STILL in the playoff mix even though they’re 14 games under .500. I’ll see what else is popping in the Association (Luka Doncic ready to take off after his biggest game as a Laker on Saturday night) as things seem to be quiet overall.

(49:06) College basketball is waiting to bask in the month of March, because things have been rather low key over the past few days. Although there were a few upsets (Miss St., Missouri, Texas A&M) and St. John’s win vs. UConn, there isn’t  much to discuss.

(52:05) MLB Spring Training has begun. Juan Soto hits a HR in his first at-bat. A sign of things to come for the new Met right fielder? Yankees extend Aaron Boone for two more years, and have also raised the ban on facial hair, but what about hair length? Then you have MLB & ESPN mutually agreeing to part ways after the ’25 season, with three years left on their deal. Where will MLB go next?

(1:00:23) Lastly, the NFL had some news where there was a retirement (Cowboys Zach Martin) and two hirings of note (JAX GM James Gladstone and NO DC Brandon Staley, who reconnects with Kellen Moore)

Almost done with another week, but not before I share my thoughts on anything and everything that’s happening throughout the sports universe as the latest podcast is here! On deck:

(6:30) The ’second half’ of the NBA begins in earnest tonight as the schedule picks up after the All-Star Break. I’ll look into my crystal ball to see how the next two months will play out. Will OKC go on a deep playoff run? Are you a believer in the Cavaliers getting to an NBA Finals? How much pressure is on LeBron and Luka to get the Lakers back to the championship round? There are plenty of questions to get answered as I prepare you for what to expect over the last two third of the season.

(33:40) College basketball is starting to heat up. Alabama suffers another loss, after being defeated by Auburn last weekend. Is this just a speed bump as they get toward the month of March? Number one ranked Auburn avoids a scare against Arkansas to keep their top ranking in the nation. Kansas continues to be an enigma, losing to unranked BYU by 34, the third worst loss in school history. I’ll see what the schedule has on tap this weekend as we’re exactly one month away from the NCAA Tournament.

(39:28) It should be a battle to witness as the 4 Nations Face-Off concludes with a title game tonight. Will Team USA & Team Canada have a carbon copy of fisticuffs similar to their first game on Saturday night? How will this play out? I’ll also take a lay of the NHL landscape as to how the ‘second half’ will unfold? Are the Jets and Capitals Cup worthy? Can Florida repeat? Will Edmonton get back to a final? I’ll have it all for you as the season reconvenes on Saturday.

(55:30) MLB Spring Training is in full swing. One player that has thoughts of a big payday is Blue Jays 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He & his camp were unable to come up with an extension prior to Monday’s deadline. What’s next? And what will he get on the market? I’ll have some news on Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Frankie Montas, Rafael Devers/Alex Bregman and the system when it comes to payroll in the sport.

(1:01:36) The NFL is at it again. They’ve announced that the Chargers will be the home team for the second game in Sao Paolo to start off the year. Was this necessary to announce just ten days after the Super Bowl? Couldn’t they have waited?
