With the 4th of July in our rearview mirror, it’s time to look ahead to see what the sports landscape has in store for us over the next hour or so as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:30) The Yankees avoid a Subway Series sweep and a seven game losing streak as they salvage the final game at Citi Field. But the Bombers face another challenge to their starting rotation moving forward. Can the Mets close out the last week before the All Star Break against underachieving AL teams on the road? The Astros go into Dodger Stadium and sweep the defending champs. Plus, a housecleaning in DC and our first peek at the Wild Card standings throughout baseball.

(33:35) Are we preparing ourselves for another Carlos Alcaraz-Jannik Sinner final at Wimbledon? And is this Aryna Sabalenka’s tournament to lose on the women’s side?

(42:34) All is quiet on the NBA front as summer league is underway.

(46:06) The Carolina Hurricanes make a huge splash signing former Winnipeg Jet Nikolaj Ehlers. Does this move make them a threat to the Florida Panthers in the East? There are a few other signings to discuss and the sad passing of a former Boston Bruin tough guy, dating back to the 1980’s.

(55:03) After explaining some recent (and successful) content that I’ve recently put up regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers, don’t look now, but NFL Training Camps will open up a lot sooner than you think. Is this something yours truly is looking forward to?

And MUCH more in between.

On the eve of another summer holiday, they’ll be lots of fireworks over the next hour as there’s plenty to go around throughout the sports landscape as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(7:02) This recent Yankees free fall has found them in a tie for first place with the Blue Jays looking to take over the division with a potential sweep tonight. What’s gone wrong with The Bronx Bombers? I’ll preview another Subway Series on the horizon as both teams seek to get out of a midseason malaise.

(25:05) NBA’s free agency period is off and running. Led by the release of Damian Lillard in Milwaukee, then signing long time Pacers forward Myles Turner. I’ll detailed all that’s transpired and also share my thoughts on the new head coach of the Knicks, Mike Brown. Was he the right guy to hire? I make a brief mention about the Indiana Fever winning the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup without Caitlin Clark!

(43:51) The Florida Panthers are zeroing in on a rare three-peat in the NHL after re-signing three key players to their team. Plus, all of the other activity that’s taken place to date.

(49:34) Wimbledon has been a whirlwind with many top players upset, most notably, #2 Coco Gauff who didn’t make it out of the first round after winning the French Open last month. Then you had #3 men’s player Alexander Zverev lose a classic match, but the more important story is his mental health. How his eye opening post-match interview resonated with top women’s player, Aryna Sabalenka, in trying to seek help as he battles whatever he has going on off the court.

(1:01:32) Are the Steelers a threat in the AFC after a shocking trade that delivered both Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith from Miami?

And MUCH more in between.

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.

On the eve of summer and today being Juneteenth, a change is on the horizon as the sports landscape is about to look a little different in the coming days. I’ll explain in detail as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:34) With the hockey season already completed, the NBA has the stage to close out its Finals tonight as Oklahoma City looks to capture their first championship, while Indiana hopes to force a Game 7 with or without Tyrese Haliburton. How will Game 6 unfold? The Lakers are being sold for $10 billion dollars. LeBron James doesn’t understand ‘ring culture’ in the sport as he addressed it on his podcast. Do we need to remind him that he was a big part of that?

(24:31) The Florida Panthers repeat as Stanley Cup Champions with another dominant effort in Game 6 over the Edmonton Oilers. Is this team already considered a dynasty? Where do we go from here regarding Connor McDavid and the Oilers, losing a second straight Cup Finals?

(42:57) Baseball is on the verge of becoming the only major sport left. What’s going on with the New York teams as both the Yankees and Mets are mired in long losing streaks? The latter, is about to embark on a weekend road trip to Philadelphia for first place in the NL East. Are the Dodgers about to take off in the NL West after taking the first three games vs. the Padres and a chance for a four game sweep today?

(1:02:50) Don’t look now, but NFL Training Camps are about five weeks away! UGH! Also, Jaire Alexander finds a home in Baltimore, CJ Mosley retires and do I really have to unpack what Shedeur Sanders recently did off the field?

Counting down to the official beginning of another season, the best season of the year…yes, that is summer. But coming at ya faster than that is the latest episode with a TON of stuff to uncover in the sports world. On deck:

(6:42) OKC showed what they were made of in Game 4 as SGA’s big fourth quarter ties the series at two. How will Game 5 and the rest of the Finals play out starting tonight? There was a huge trade in the Association as the Magic go all in on former Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane. Is he worth two players and four unprotected first round picks? Also, the Knicks head coaching search continues and where does Kevin Durant end up?

(27:17) The Florida Panthers are one win away from going back to back against the Edmonton Oilers. Not even a crushing Game 4 defeat will slow down the defending champs as they dominated Game 5 on the road. Will this series go back to Western Canada in Game 7? Or will the Panthers wrap up another championship?

(40:44) The saga between the Red Sox and Rafael Devers came to an abrupt end with the disgruntled DH getting shipped to San Francisco for two pitchers and prospects. Was this a good move by Boston? Does this make the Giants contenders in the NL? Plus, it was a lost weekend for the New York teams as they were both surprisingly swept. And Shohei Ohtani will make his Dodgers pitching debut vs. San Diego. What should we expect?

(57:35) After what was a US Open to forget, one player came up from the rubble to win the tournament. His name is JJ Spaun. I’ll recap what turned out to be a slog and a wet one at that as the third golf major of the year is already in the books.

Summer is just eight days away as the season will officially arrive next Friday, but not before the arrival of the latest and greatest of what’s happening in the sports world. On deck:

(6:37) The Indiana Pacers are two wins away from capturing their first NBA title. Does destiny await? Are the Thunder going to strike? Or go out in a whimper? And has the Knicks head coaching search become a flat out disaster?

(29:08) The Edmonton Oilers look to rebound from an embarrassing Game 3 loss to the Panthers. Will they do so?

(38:43) I know it’s only June, but can we name Aaron Judge the American League MVP…in June?

(50:01) The golf course is the storyline as the US Open commences this weekend at the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.

It’s going to be a loaded hour and change, with so much happening in sports, that you won’t know what hit ya. So get ready, set and let’s go as THISSSSSSSS…as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:53) Carlos Alcaraz rallies from a two set deficit to win the French Open in a classic vs. Jannik Sinner at the French Open. Is he on his way to immortality? How does Sinner deal with crushing defeat? Coco Gauff wins her first French as she surprises Aryna Sabalenka.

(31:11) OKC rebounds from a terrible Game 1 loss to even the NBA Finals at one. Will they earn a split in Indiana? Also, the Knicks are seeking permission to speak to Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. Why?

(46:18) Florida escapes Edmonton with a double OT win, thanks to Brad Marchand, as the series shifts to South Florida tonight. Will the Oilers find a way to get one of the next two? Plus, a coaching hire in Boston and one fired in Dallas.

(56:43) The Phillies are slowly slipping away from the Mets in the NL East, mired in a five game losing streak after getting swept by the Pirates. Are the Braves not going to fire this year as they’re ten games under .500. The Yankees lose two of three to the Red Sox as their pitching staff took a beating.

(1:09:57) Aaron Rodgers is officially a Pittsburgh Steeler. I guess I have to share my thoughts on whether this is a good or bad thing?

(1:18:15) The Belmont Stakes didn’t disappoint as Sovereignty wins over favorite Journalism, which begs the question, was this horse a Triple Crown threat?

There’ll be no June swoon as we introduce the newest month and get you set for a couple of Finals, baseball, tennis and whatever else the sports world has cooking as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(7:15) It’s Florida-Edmonton Round 2 as the Stanley Cup Finals commences on Wednesday. Will the Oilers get their revenge? I’ll go through the storylines and predict who’ll raise the Cup when it’s all said and done. I’ll also touch on another disappointing finish in the conference finals for the Dallas Stars.

(32:43) The Pacers reach the Finals for the second time in team history. And farewell to a surprising Knicks playoff run. Can they take the next step a year from now?

(45:58) The Yankees avoided getting swept in LA to close out a long trip. Up next? The other NY team as the Mets will invade Chavez Ravine for four games. Plus, what else is going on throughout baseball.

(1:04:15) The French Open commences week two with a lot of intrigue, despite there not being any major upsets over the past three days. What could we expect this week?

We’re precisely a week away from the unofficial beginning of summer. Can you believe it? But we’re seconds away from the best sports podcast that covers EVERYTHING, that’s right, I said it. Why? Because name me another pod out there that doesn’t stick to just one sport. I’m waiting….still waiting…as the latest podcast has arrived! On deck:

(7:08) OKC won a Game 7 that they had to have as they advance to play the Timberwolves. While the Knicks romp in closing out the Celtics in Game 6 (I think their fans are still celebrating it) I’ll preview T’wolves-Thunder & Pacers-Knicks as the West will tip off tomorrow night. I’ll also share my thoughts on the WNBA season commencing on Saturday. There’s already a Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese controversy to discuss?

(37:34) The Maple Leafs collapsed yet again, losing to the Panthers in Game 7. Should the organization blow up the team? Add Winnipeg to the list of teams that won the President’s Trophy without capturing a title as they lose in six to Dallas. And the Capitals fall way short of the Cup Finals after losing to the Hurricanes in five. I’ll preview Panthers-Hurricanes & Oilers-Stars and what Final would be the most attractive?

(54:59) Juan Soto’s return to The Bronx was forgetful as the Mets lose two out of three to the Yankees. The shocking Twins 13 game winning streak, which was snapped yesterday in Milwaukee. How about the Angels sweeping the Dodgers in LA? I’ll see what else is happening throughout the sport as Memorial Day looms next week.

(1:10:10) 49ers QB Brock Purdy signs a five year, $265 million dollar deal to stay in San Francisco. Is he worth it?

(1:15:27) Scottie Scheffler finally wins a major out of Augusta as he wins the PGA Championship yesterday. What about Jordan Spieth? Rory McIlroy?

And MUCH more in between.

The sports universe intensifies as we’ve hit the middle of May. I’m here to break it all down for you as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:45) The NBA’s second round is coming to a close as two series are undecided. Will the Celtics pull off the unthinkable, coming back from a 3-1 deficit without their best player? Can the Nuggets do the same to OKC? Indiana & Minnesota have advanced, leaving the Cavaliers & Warriors with plenty to answer this offseason. Also, the Dallas Mavericks have miraculously won the NBA Draft Lottery.

(40:49) Which team is facing the most pressure? Is it Washington, Winnipeg or Toronto? While Edmonton has moved on to another conference finals. Plus, some coaching hires in Vancouver and Philadelphia.

(56:46) Pete Rose has been reinstated by MLB to be eligible for the Hall of Fame, but does it come with a caveat? Juan Soto will pay his first visit to Yankee Stadium since signing with the Mets this past winter. Will the reception be welcoming?

(1:13:37) The NFL schedule has been released and I already exhausted looking at it.

(1:23:47) Will Jordan Spieth match what Rory McIlory did at The Masters and complete the career Grand Slam at the PGA this weekend?

And MUCH more in between.

Plowing through the week with another dose of sports talk as this episode may melt your earbuds, headphones or speakers. So fasten your seatbelts because this’ll be a wild ride as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:40) The road teams have dominated the NBA second round winning six of seven games to date. What has happened to the Cavaliers & Celtics? (A group therapy session for the defending champs as I have LOTS to say about this team!)

(40:19) The same could be said in the NHL as the three visiting teams have a leg up (Carolina, Dallas & Edmonton) in Round 2, while the Maple Leafs have taken care of business at home with a 2-0 lead on Florida.

(49:59) Is the AL Central the best division in baseball, this side of the NL West to date?

(59:07) A trade involving the Steelers & Cowboys as WR George Pickens goes to Dallas. Was this a good move by Pittsburgh? Or big mistake?

(1:04:27) Horse racing will not be discussed over the next three and a half weeks as Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty has pulled out of The Preakness, spoiling an opportunity for a potential Triple Crown.

And much more in between.

With plenty to recap after a super packed past few days in the sports world, you know I’ve got my sleeves rolled up ready to rock and share my thoughts on all that went down as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:24) All NBA Game 1’s are in the books with the Lakers puzzling loss, the Warriors gut one out and decisive wins by the home team open up the postseason.

(31:45) Five series commence in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the home team winning all of them. Plus, a couple of coaches fired and attendance hits an all-time high for the sport.

(43:56) Is the Mets great start legitimate? Or should there be an asterisk? The psyche of Yankees closer Devin Williams. And enough of position players mopping up blowout games, evidenced by a 24-2 Reds win over Baltimore.

(59:59) Early thoughts on the NFL Draft as it’s set for three big days starting on Thursday night.

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.

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?

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)

Back again to detail everything that’s going on in sports with your favorite little host to uncover it all as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:36) NFL Week 15 has some five star matchups, including one in Philadelphia where the Steelers will come across the state to play the Eagles. There’s been some tension with the quarterback/wide receiver combo (Jalen Hurts & AJ Brown) or so it seemed as all is well at the moment between the two. I’ll discuss Bills vs. Lions and the impact this game could have when it comes to playoff seeding. Colts vs. Broncos is a low key solid contest as they’ll determine who’ll be in good position to clinch a playoff berth. Tonight, the Niners will look to hang on in the NFC playoff picture with an enormous game vs. the Rams. Besides that, the schedule doesn’t provide much as we now get into the final homestretch of the season. The NFL will go back to Germany for a regular season game next year, this time in Berlin. I’m sure you know how I feel about that.

(26:24) College football takes a pause this weekend (other than Army-Navy and the Heisman presentation on Saturday) as the twelve team playoff will commence next Friday. Some rather shocking news came down the pike last night as former Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, agreed to come on board and coach the North Carolina TarHeels. Did this come as a shock? What about the NFL/Don Shula’s record? How about the system as it’s currently constituted with the NIL & transfer portal? Also, the latest on Georgia QB Carson Beck’s elbow as he recovers from the injury he suffered in the SEC Championship Game. Will he play?

(38:05) MLB’s Winter Meetings concludes today with not much activity, but you did have two major deals to discuss. The Yankees sign LHP Max Fried to an eight year deal. Was this a rebound from being jilted by Juan Soto’s departure? The Red Sox got their ace as they traded for Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. Are there more moves that Boston needs to make? I’ll have to revisit Juan Soto’s signing as I couldn’t believe the backlash and vitriol by fans and celebrities alike, crucifying the former Yankee for leaving to Queens. Nolan Arenado wants out of St. Louis. Does he have anything left? Would I entertain the thought of bringing him onto my team?

(52:37) The NBA Cup has reached the semifinals with the Bucks, Hawks, Thunder and Rockets moving on. Although the Warriors were frustrated that they didn’t advance against Houston after a controversial foul called in the closing seconds which propelled the Rockets to seal the deal. Did Steve Kerr get robbed of a trip to Vegas? There have been reports that Heat guard Jimmy Butler has a list of teams he’d like to get dealt to. Which teams are on his radar? Will the Heat look to part with their star player?

(1:03:02) All is mostly quiet on the ice, but the Colorado Avalanche have a goaltending carousel to ensure stability at the position. They swapped backup goaltenders with another team less than two weeks ago. Now they procure San Jose net minder Mackenzie Blackwood to see if he’s the answer to cure their ills. I’ll look at the schedule over the weekend, including an interesting stretch for the first place Vegas Golden Knights over the next four days.

It’s Halloween. So you know there’s going to be plenty of tricks & treats as I roundup all of what’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:

(6:38) After a mention of having to pardon myself if I’m sounding a bit hoarse, I regroup to unpack the miniseries that took place on FOX at Yankee Stadium last night in Game 5. I’ll review Games 3 & 4 as well, but the Dodgers overcome a five run deficit and Yankee miscues abound to win the franchise’s eighth World Series, 7-6. I’ll throw bouquets at manager Dave Roberts, series MVP Freddie Freeman and reliever Blake Treinen for their performance in the game! As for the Yankees? A bitter defeat which erased the good fortune of avoiding getting swept the night before. How this will affect the team, especially with some key free agents (Juan Soto, Gerrit Cole, Gleyber Torres, among others) Lastly, my personal motto and breakdown when the Yankees don’t record the last out of the season, taking shots at some (not ALL) of their fans and saying goodbye to radio announcer, John Sterling! It’s another winter that I can sleep in peace after another year without winning a title!

(42:56) NFL Week 9 has a rather light schedule, although there are a couple of games to watch (DET-GB, DEN-BAL) My beloved Steelers have a bye, but at 6-2, in first place in the AFC North, why their record is deceiving? KC made a good trade for a pass rusher (Joshua Uche) and a puzzling trade for Baltimore as they acquire WR Diontae Johnson, when they need defensive help in the worst way.

(51:50) A huge college football matchup at high noon on Saturday as Ohio State will go to Happy Valley to play Penn State. Why now is the time for the Nittany Lions to win a big game in the Big 10?

(54:51) There are a couple of injuries of note in the NBA (Steph Curry & Scottie Barnes). The Celtics lost their first game of the season with an OT loss at Indiana. Do I get geeked up for Bronny James scoring his first ever NBA points in Cleveland of all places? And do I need to stress Dwyane Wade’s statue in Miami?

(58:11) The NHL suffered an enormous loss (well, just for 2-3 weeks) as Oilers superstar Connor McDavid will be out with a lower body (ankle) injury as they fight off of a slow start. The Winnipeg Jets finally lose and the San Jose Sharks finally won, in fact, two in a row.

Your boy is playing injured as I’m battling a hoarse voice that came out of nowhere, but that won’t stop me from sharing my thoughts and opinions on ALL that’s taking place in sports. On deck:

(6:40) The LA Dodgers took care of business at home winning the first two games of the World Series. Now the scene shifts to New York for the next two (at least) maybe three games. Is this Fall Classic, for all intents and purposes, over? I’ll explain why that’s not the case and make a play for the Yankees to draw even in the Series for a pivotal Game 5 on Wednesday night? I’ll unpack the managing of Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts, how Aaron Judge is becoming playoff A-Rod prior to his 2009 run and how many people have watched and paid attention to the heavyweight matchup.

(29:04) We’re approaching the halfway point of the NFL season. Week 8 had some good (Jayden Daniels Hail Mary and success in DC), bad (the AFC East, and both Souths have been clinched?) and the ugly (the Jets have hit rock bottom) are the key highlights from Sunday’s action. I’ll also get on Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Tua’s return to Miami, another vicious play by the Saints defense, the Packers get out of Jacksonville alive, are the Bengals done and can the NFL upstage Election Day?

(51:14) College football in Week 9 was mostly quiet, although the big game was Texas A&M coming from behind after a big gamble changing quarterbacks. It catapulted them to a 38-23 win over LSU. Where do the Aggies stand in the college football playoff as the first announcement of the rankings will be tomorrow?

(56:12) The NBA is just about a week old with the Lakers back where they belong, 3-0 at the top of the West. Kevin Durant reaches a lofty milestone, with another one forthcoming. Steph Curry suffered an ankle sprain which could keep him out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

(59:46) Break up the Jets! Not the football team. The hockey team as they are 8-0 to begin the season. How long will this streak last? Same could be said about the San Jose Sharks who haven’t won as of yet. Teams that have recovered from slow starts are the Avalanche, Predators and Hurricanes. The Rangers sign their 2020 #1 overall pick, Alexis Lafreniere to a seven year deal as he’s slowly becoming one of the top players in the league.

(1:03:48) There was a UFC fight on Saturday night where Ilia Topuria surprisingly KO’s Max Holloway in the third round, the first time that’s happened to Holloway. Could a rematch be in the works?

One more week before we turn the calendar to the penultimate month of 2024, but not before a few more podcasts, starting with this one coming right at ya. On deck:

(6:25) We’re just one day away from an epic World Series matchup between two old rivals. Yankees vs. Dodgers. I’ll unpack how this could affect the sports landscape from a viewing perspective. A history lesson between the two franchises, with analysis and complete breakdown on what we could possibly expect over the course of a long series. Also, how this Fall Classic will affect my upcoming winter? I’d be remiss if I didn’t discuss the passing on Dodgers legend, Fernando Valenzuela. And how a certain popular ESPN program DID NOT spend a second on this? What are the Tampa Bay Rays going to do about playing games at home in 2025, considering the damage to the roof of Tropicana Field due to Hurricane Helene?

(46:12) Are the Baltimore Ravens the NFL’s best after seven weeks? Their record may not indicate that, but their recent play sure does. The Chiefs, who are the last undefeated team in the sport, acquires former All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins. Does he push them over the top? There were a few other trades that the Seahawks & Texans shored up their defense. Alvin Kamara gets an extension by the Saints. I’m sure they’ll be teams looking to secure wideouts in Tampa Bay, San Francisco, among others. I’ll take a peek at the Week 8 schedule, which at first glance, is so-so.

(57:15) College football has a few solid games on the docket (Missouri-Alabama, Notre Dame-Navy, LSU-Texas A&M) that I’ll keep an eye on as Week 9 closes out October.

(59:41) The NBA season has begun. The defending champion Celtics shot the lights out of the basketball to tie a record for three pointers made in a game. What they did to try to break the record was flat-out embarrassing! Then you have the LeBron James making history again, this time playing with his son Bronny to become the first father-son duo to play in a regular season game. Was this storyline blown out of proportion?

(1:06:27) As for what’s happening on the ice, it’s been low key as the Nashville Predators finally get off the deck with their first win of the year. We’re still waiting for San Jose to do the same. There’s a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight between the red hot Rangers and defending Cup Champion Panthers.

Get ready for some classic podcasts this week (THREE OF THEM) as I could do these in my sleep with so much to unpack, you won’t know what hit you as the sports world will shift into fifth gear. On deck:

(6:50) They ran out of gas and magic simultaneously. The 2024 New York Mets were unable to meet their crosstown rivals in a Subway Series as they were defeated in the NLCS by the LA Dodgers in six games. What’s next for this franchise as they try to take this team to the next level? As I mentioned, the Yankees punched their ticket over a pesky, gutty Guardians team in five games. It sets the stage for a colossal dream matchup between two old rivals. This is only the beginning, people as Thursday’s podcast will have plenty of breakdown, analysis, predictions and personal investment. What I will discuss here is how baseball is ecstatic over this World Series, but will there be interest throughout the nation over this talent rich Fall Classic?

(37:31) There’s only one remaining undefeated team in the NFL. To no surprise, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. What is a surprise is the output of QB Patrick Mahomes, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns to date. How is this possible? The Vikings lost their first game of the year to the Lions, who have overtaken the NFC North. A puzzling QB change in Pittsburgh comes up roses as Russell Wilson put forth a good three final quarters to run the Jets out of Acrisure Stadium. I’ll also discuss a brutal injury to a depleted 49er offense, the disaster in Cleveland, not just with Deshaun Watson, but the owner wants a domed stadium in a nearby suburb? Saquon Barkley, Packers breathing down the Lions & Vikings necks and much more!

(56:02) A topsy turvy college football regular season continues with Georgia dominating defensively at Texas, moving up three spots in the ranking, where Texas falls back to #5. What about Alabama, losing their second game of the season at Tennessee, but with Missouri and a trip to LSU in the near future, could they not be a part of the college football playoff mix?

(1:03:40) Hoops fan, the NBA tips off tomorrow night. I’ll have a preview of the upcoming 2024-25 year in the morning, but with the Celtics raising their 18th banner to the rafters with the Knicks coming in, on top of Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely for the Clippers to the chagrin of the owner Steve Ballmer who’s opening a brand new crown jewel of a building on Wednesday night (Intuit Dome). I’ll send some kudos to the NY Liberty who won their first WNBA title. Was it amid some controversy in a thrilling Game 5 over Minnesota? And college coach Tony Bennett of Virginia retires due to the “current environment” of the landscape with NIL’s and transfer portals impacting the sport.

(1:14:20) Two weeks into the NHL season, you have some teams that are unbeaten or undefeated (Winnipeg is 5-0) or winless (San Jose is 0-4-2 and Nashville is 0-5) as the play on ice is just warming up.
