A busy few days of sports means a jam packed show for you kooks out there who can’t get enough of all that’s happening as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(6:30) MLB’s hot stove has heated up, but so have the fans of the New York Mets as two of their key players (Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso) have signed elsewhere. What is the plan that the front office has in store? Do the fans actually trust GM David Stearns and has the faith waned with the owner, Steve Cohen? I’ll check on what else has happened to date as the Winter Meetings conclude today.

(24:33) NFL Week 15 has some interesting games on the schedule. The big news is the return of QB Philip Rivers, who the Colts got out of retirement to help stop the bleeding of a losing streak and save their dying playoff hopes.

(37:00) Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was terminated immediately for getting involved with a staff member, but was also arrested on an alleged assault charge. Where do they go for a replacement?

(41:51) Oklahoma City has matched the 2016 Warriors for the best start in NBA history. Will they end up breaking their record 73-9 when it’s all said and done?

(50:24) The NHL has been going about its business this year, laying low, but I’ll peek in to see what’s going on throughout the league.

And MUCH MORE in between.

October is starting to make its exit, but before we get to any trick or treats, I have something brewing that not even a witch would come up with as the latest podcast has all you can ever want for a sports fan. On deck:

(6:40) As the World Series is even after two games, will the Blue Jays find a way to produce another offensive uprising we saw in Game 1? Or will the Dodgers feast on home cooking to put themselves in a position to close the series out on home turf? Also, there’s a new sheriff in Baltimore and Bryce Harper gets called out by his own GM?

(21:36) It was another interesting week in the NFL which saw the Jets finally win in shocking fashion against the Bengals, even with the organization suffering a huge loss from the untimely death of former center Nick Mangold. The big story is the shift of the AFC which has Indianapolis, New England and Denver at the top of the conference with Kansas City, Baltimore & Houston on the outside of the playoff picture. Also, I’ll dive in on how disgraceful the Steelers were as the defense was a no-show when it really counted.

(48:13) The big news out of college football this weekend was the firing of LSU coach Brian Kelly. Was this move necessary at this point? Or did it come out of nowhere?

(53:53) If the NBA’s opening week is a sign of things to come, then they’ll have their best year ever. When Austin Reaves goes for 50, SGA scores a career high 55 in another double OT win and Victor Wembanyama puts up more video games number, what will the league do for an encore?

(1:01:38) On the ice, two teams are in the middle of torrid winning streak. One not surprising (New Jersey), one rather surprising (Utah).

And MUCH MORE in between.

With summer officially here, the sports universe will start to cool off a bit. But not too much to where I’ll have nothing to talk about. Ha! You know me, there’s always something to get off my chest when it comes to the world of competition as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(7:26) Oklahoma City battles to their first ever NBA title. Where do they stack up against the all-time great teams? A dynasty in the making? Does the Game 7 win come with an asterisk because of Tyrese Haliburton’s injury? How do the Pacers recover from the loss of a tough series and their star point guard? Kevin Durant gets shipped to Houston for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and multiple draft picks. Is he the final piece to the Rockets championship puzzle? Can he be trusted to lead them to the promised land? Plus, some early thoughts about the NBA Draft which is Wednesday night.

(38:17) The biggest question in the NHL’s offseason is the future of Oilers superstar Connor McDavid. With one year left on his current deal, what’s the likelihood he stays with the only organization that he’s ever known? Or does he move on to greener pastures? Jonathan Toews goes back home to sign a one year deal with Winnipeg after a decorated career in Chicago. Plus, a couple of other transactions that took place over the weekend I’ll address.

(45:31) The Mets finally snap their seven game losing streak, but lose first place along the way in Philadelphia by closing out a 1-5 road trip. What’s next for the Amazin’s as they entertain the Braves for four games this week? Other MLB topics to discuss: Dodgers-Padres fallout with hits batsmen and suspensions. Brewers young stud, Jacob Misiorowski. Rafael Devers faces his former Red Sox teammates. Cal Raleigh’s raking home runs at a record pace in Seattle and much more.

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?

The first week of June has plenty of sports talk to dissect as I share all that’s swirling in my head, heart and soul as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:35) Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals was a thrilling ride as the Edmonton Oilers come from behind to win in overtime, 4-3. Was this a bigger win for Connor McDavid & co. or a crushing loss for the Florida Panthers?

(22:11) The NBA Finals finally tip off tonight in Oklahoma City. How much pressure is on the Thunder to seal the deal? Can the Pacers complete the magic carpet ride of a playoff run with their first championship? Also, the Knicks dismiss Coach Tom Thibodeau. Who’s to blame for this blunder?

(50:15) The Mets-Dodgers series has been as advertised over the first three games. Will the Dodgers salvage a split in the finale? Break up the Rockies! They’ve won three in a row to increase their record to 12-50! Yankee reliever Luke Weaver is on the shelf for 4-6 weeks. How will manager Aaron Boone handle the back end of the bullpen?

(1:04:49) An exciting weekend is forthcoming at Roland Garros as tennis’s top players are still alive on both the men’s and women’s sides of the draw? Who’ll come out on top when it’s all said and done?

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?

As we get closer to the beginning of a new month, we can start to see the ending of two sports ready to move on to the next round and crown a champion. Does this mean we’re getting closer to another sports dead zone? It’s starting to look that way, but have no fear, as I’ll cover all that’s taken place as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(7:02) OKC punch their ticket to their first Final in 13 years with a big road win in GM 4 and dominant at home in GM 5. Can the Pacers polish off the Knicks in GM 5 tonight and meet the Thunder next Thursday? Is Anthony Edwards getting criticized way too much?

(30:31) The Florida Panthers have won their third straight Eastern Conference Finals. Will the Edmonton Oilers seal the deal in GM 5 this evening and set up a rematch of last year’s Stanley Cup Finals?

(44:43) Speaking of rematches, the Yankees will head into Dodger Stadium over the weekend as they’ll meet for the first time since LA captured the title in October last year. How will this series play out? Also, has Juan Soto hit rock bottom?

(1:00:23) Another big upset took place at the French Open this week as Daniil Medvedev lost in a thriller vs. Cameron Norrie. Plus, Alex DeMinaur calling for a shorter season? WHAT?!

(1:04:16) I couldn’t believe my eyes after reading a headline on a major sports website about the NFL is back? Well, almost!

Kicking off the unofficial beginning of summer as we remember those who fought for our freedom in this country. Thanks to the servicemen and women who’ve done so. And thank you for being a part of this latest podcast with all that’s happening in sports. On deck:

(6:57) Both the Knicks and Timberwolves get back in their respective conference finals. Can they get the equalizer to ensure that their series will go at least six games? I’ll also add in that Caitlin Clark will be out of the lineup for the Indiana Fever for two weeks with a quad strain. Who knows if this is a blip in her season? Or could this be re-aggravated sometime down the road?

(25:48) Are the Oilers and Panthers on a collision course for another Stanley Cup Final? With Edmonton up 2-1 and Florida looking for a sweep, it’s certainly looking that way.

(31:51) Are the Panthers on their way to a third straight Cup Final? Is Dallas ready to erase ghosts of recent Conference Finals past in big time Game 1 comeback?

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.

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.

Hoops fans! Another NBA season has arrived!

Here to detail what lies ahead over the course of an 82 game regular season and beyond is my 2024-25 NBA Preview. I’ll share the top storylines (Will the Celtics repeat? Can the Knicks or Sixers overtake the C’s in a top heavy Eastern Conference? A wide open and loaded West where the new guard, {OKC, MIN, NO, MEM & SAC} could rule the top of the conference over the old guard {LAL, GS, LAC, DEN & PHX) heading into tonight’s tip-off in Boston where the Celtics will raise Banner 18 to the TD Garden rafters. I’ll have my surprise and disappointment, over/unders and a prediction on who’ll raise the Lawrence O’Brien Trophy come mid-June. It’s wall to wall basketball for the casual or diehard fan who wants to get their fix on the upcoming campaign.

Have the Celtics taken control of their matchup with the Cavaliers?

Will the pressure mount for the top seeded Oklahoma City Thunder as they’re down 2-1?

(29:21) Are the Rangers and Panthers on a collision course for the Eastern Conference with both teams holding 3-1 leads in their respective series?

Is Dallas in the driver’s seat vs. Colorado?

Resting Lamar, AFC/NFC South, Bills Do Or Die In Miami Headlines Week 18. Michigan/Washington Hang On To Meet For Title. OKC Has Arrived? Lakers Regressing? Auston Matthews For MVP?

Back to close out the first week of the year with lots to uncover on all of the latest and greatest in the world of sports. On deck:

(2:50) We've just about reached the final hurdle of the NFL season. Week 18 begins on Saturday as teams are looking to punch their ticket to the playoffs. I'll keep you up to date on who's set, who controls their destiny, who needs help, anything and everything that you need to know about what to expect this upcoming weekend. I'll get into a few of the major storylines (Ravens resting Lamar Jackson, AFC/NFC South division up for grabs, Bills win or go home in Miami?) as we wrap up this sprint of the past four months and gear up for a highly anticipated postseason.

(24:32) The National Championship in college football is set. Michigan slayed the semifinal beast in eking out a win against Alabama, while Washington hung on at the end to beat Texas. I'll review both games and have an early look at the title game on Monday night. I'm a few days late, but I'll spend two minutes on the embarrassment that Florida State put forth in the Orange Bowl loss vs. Georgia.

(36:44) Are the Oklahoma City Thunder ready to take that next step and be a contender in the West? Even if they're a year or two early? What about the Lakers? They're going in the opposite direction as they've lost 8 of 10 and have been relatively healthy this year. At 17-18, are there any concerns about the short and maybe long term future of this team? I'll check on whatever else is happening throughout the Association as we get closer to the midway point of the season.

(47:07) Maple Leafs sniper, Auston Matthews is having an MVP caliber year as he scored his 30th goal in 35 games with the OT winner last night in Anaheim. Is he the frontrunner as the league's best player to date? I'll take a trip around the ice as I'll peek at who's been hot (Oilers, Hurricanes & Kraken) and who's not (Wild) at this juncture.

(51:36) The power is still down on the MLB Hot Stove as we’re waiting for some of the game’s best players (i.e. Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, etc.) to sign on the dotted line. The Red Sox inking pitcher Lucas Giolito for two years doesn’t cut it.
