Rahm Rises, Koepka Falls In Bizarre Masters Weekend. T'Wolves Fighting & Limping Into Play-In. NHL Playoff Spots On The Line. Rays Start Legit? OBJ To BAL. Lamar Next?

A Master-ful podcast lies ahead as I've got plenty to share as the sports galaxy will continue to shine brightly as we get deeper into spring. On deck:

(3:13) The tradition unlike any other turned out to be a Masters unlike one we've seen in quite some time. Trees were falling, rain was teeming and having to play 30 holes on Sunday made this tournament unique, tough to watch at times and not as compelling as years past. Throughout it all, your winner was Jon Rahm as he outlasted a collapse by Brooks Koepka who led for the first three rounds as he secures his first ever green jacket. I'll review the past four days, Phil Mickelson's resurgence, Rory McIlroy's disappearance, how the LIV golfers fared over the weekend and much more as the first Grand Slam of 2023 is in the books.

(21:29) The NBA Playoffs are just about here. We have to get through the play-in tournament over the next four days first. Heading into that are the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have been fussin' and fightin' on the sidelines, players punching walls as they haven't matured since their last playoff visit a year ago. I'll touch on the four games that'll be played tomorrow and Wednesday night and shed some light on the full slate of games over the weekend to tip off the chase for the Lawrence O'Brien Trophy.

(36:41) The final few days of the NHL season has arrived. I'll go in-depth on all of the division and wild card races where my Islanders are in the thick of things, among other teams searching for a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which commences next Monday.

(48:24) Break up the Tampa Bay Rays. They've gotten off to a 9-0 start where they've dominated by outscoring their opponents 75-18, but they have played the Tigers, Nationals and A's. Is this a case of smoke and mirrors? Or is this start legit and a sign of more things to come. The Pirates have gotten off to a 6-3 start, which is great to see. Sadly, they lost their star shortstop O'Neil Cruz to a fractured ankle due to a collision at home plate. I'll also see what else MLB has to offer with teams playing well above expected (i.e. Brewers, Diamondbacks)and those playing below standards (i.e. Astros, Dodgers).

(55:08) Odell Beckham Jr. has found a home. He signed a one year deal in Baltimore to possibly join forces with Lamar Jackson, as he's seeking a trade and a megadeal. Could Jackson be lured back to the Ravens with OBJ on board? If so, does this run oriented offense need re-tooling with Beckham Jr. expected to be a huge part of their passing game?
