With the month of May on the horizon, April promises to go out like a lion as there’s plenty to discuss throughout the sports landscape as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(4:15) I can go in many different directions to kick off the the podcast, but I’ll start off with some intrigue in the NBA as the first round is taking shape. How will the Knicks fare after a rough two game stretch? Who’ll come out on top in the Raptors-Cavs series? Will the Pistons draw even and not fall into a 3-1 deficit? Can the Nuggets run the table with Anthony Edwards out for the T-wolves? I’ll take each matchup one by one and forecast how this’ll play out over the next few days.

(28:49) As for the NHL, it’s pretty cut and dry. Two teams have advanced (COL & CAR), three teams are up 3-1 (PHI, BUF, ANA) two are even (MIN-DAL, MTL-TB) and one series is heading into Game 4 with the Mammoth up on Vegas. Will there be any drama as these first round series come to a close?

(40:45) The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora, to the chagrin of some players on the team. Will this be the jump start that the BoSox needed? And are two other managers (Mets Carlos Mendoza & Phillies Rob Thomson) next in line to go?

(56:46) The NFL Draft is in the books. I’ll share some takeaways, with the biggest one is how overrated are grades, winners and losers of the event. Also, should Mike Vrabel be suspended, or even terminated, for his behavior off the field with former Athletic writer, Diana Russini?

(1:18:10) Tennis takes a huge hit going into their second major Grand Slam tournament of the year next month as Carlos Alcaraz will sit out due to a wrist injury. How does that bode for the reigning #1 player in the world Jannik Sinner?

And MUCH MORE in between.

Fired up to usher in another podcast with all of the sports talk and analysis that you won’t get anywhere else. On deck:

(4:00) The NBA Playoffs have arrived. There were no surprises, other than the Magic winning in Detroit after drubbing the Hornets Friday night in the play-in game. Is this the beginning of the end for the Warriors after their loss in Phoenix. I’ll peep at the other Game 1’s over the weekend and set up what the schedule looks like for the remainder of the week.

(20:22) The same could be said for the NHL as the Stanley Cup Playoffs are underway. You had a couple of close calls in Colorado & Buffalo, but the one shocker was Montreal winning in Tampa to steal Game 1. I’ll take a look at the other series and check out what lies ahead for the week schedule wise.

(34:25) Is this Mets season over in April? It’s still too early to say, but it’s sure looking like it. I have lots to say on this topic, from the owner Steve Cohen, to getting rid of the GM David Stearns, the manager could be next in Carlos Mendoza, even SS Francisco Lindor had something to say, which I’ll certainly unpack. The Mets aren’t the only team that’s bad as there are several other top teams that have hit the skids over the weekend.

(57:54) NFL fans, the Draft is upon us. There was a big trade on Saturday where the Bengals traded their #10 overall pick to the Giants for DT Dexter Lawrence. Was the price tag too big? 

And MUCH MORE in between.

Playoff fever is in the air! I’ve got the medicine to get you through the spring as the sports temperature will rise significantly with the latest podcast coming at ya. On deck:

(3:52) It’s been a wild and exciting play-in tournament with the Hornets, Trail Blazers, Sixers and Warriors advancing to the next game or NBA Playoffs. What can we expect tomorrow night, as well as, the weekend as we venture into the postseason? I’ll go through the top storylines of what lies ahead for the Association, preview the opening round and share my prediction on which two teams will meet in the Finals.

(57:55) The run to the Stanley Cup commences at some point over the weekend after the conclusion of the regular season tonight. I’ll tap in on what the juicy storylines are, unpack the first round matchups and deliver my prediction as to who’ll make it to the Stanley Cup Finals?

(1:13:20) Is it time to have a state of the union for the New York Mets…in mid-April? I guess now is as good as ever as the team continues their slide of losing eight straight with no relief in sight. Also, you won’t want to miss what I’ve been thinking as I have a very bold request for the owner that could be, MAY BE, the answer to the organization’s woes.

April continues to sizzle in the sports world and it’s bound to get even hotter! Tune in to hear for yourself with all that’s happening as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(4:03) It was a very good Masters tournament punctuated by Rory McIlroy’s steady play (or did the competition wilt under pressure) as he becomes the fourth player to repeat at Augusta. I’ll unpack the entire weekend and how yesterday turned out to be rather anticlimactic as several players faded down the stretch. 

(25:12) The NBA postseason, well, play in tournament is forthcoming! I’ll delve into a few storylines of what to look out for the next couple of days, how we got here and what lies ahead as the actual playoffs begin on Saturday.

(44:16) As for the NHL, there are still a couple of races to keep an eye out for as teams are fighting for a spot into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I’ll put an epitaph on the 2025-26 New York Islanders as they officially have been eliminated from postseason play.

(1:00:25) Baseball has been buzzing over its excellent start. There have been a few teams that have come back to the pack and then some, in particular the Yankees, Mets and Astros as they’ve been scuffling of late.

(1:09:55) There’s a new #1 men’s player in tennis a month before the French Open. Is this a surprise?

And MUCH MORE in between.

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.

(36:56) Two months of the baseball season is in the books. Where do we stand at the first main juncture of a long, marathon of 162 games? The Mets have a good weekend vs. the Dodgers and win their first series in almost two weeks.

(54:18) College football revises the playoff seedings from conference championship byes to normal seeding.

(57:01) Alex Palou is your Indianapolis 500 winner. The first Spanish driver to win at the Indianapolis Speedway.

(59:30) Another Grand Slam is here, this time in tennis as the French Open is underway. I’ll preview what may lie ahead at Roland Garros over the next two weeks.

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.

Mother’s Day has come and gone. Happy belated to all the moms out there, but the time has arrived for a fast paced, action packed, hour and change of sports analysis as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:48) Has OKC learned from last year’s second round loss? Is it over for the Cavaliers? Warriors? And possibly Celtics as they all trail in their respective NBA second round series?

(28:27) Any concern over the Maple Leafs lost weekend in Florida? Are the Capitals and Jets feeling the pressure? While Vegas wins on a last second goal to get back in the series vs. Edmonton as the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in the middle of their second round matchups. There’s a familiar coach now in Anaheim.

(1:05:10) Saints QB Derek Carr is forced to retire from the NFL. Is newly drafted Tyler Shough the answer? The NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday. Any leaks as of today?

(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.

The final podcast of the month will have plenty of spirit and fire as there is a lot to uncover. Thanks for passing by to digest my takes on the sports world as the latest podcast has arrived! On deck:

(6:25) Six first round series are either over, (the chippiness of the young gun Magic, Pistons & Rockets) one quite possibly (Warriors-Rockets) and one deadlocked even (Clippers-Nuggets) are what headlines the NBA from the weekend.

(34:09) The NHL is hoping for another 2-2 series in Florida as the league is looking to have more than half of their series even heading into the week in the Stanley Cup Playoffs first round. Also how much pressure is on Winnipeg Jets goalie, Connor Hellebuyck?

(50:53) The Mets cool off after losing two rough games in DC over the weekend. What the Yankees should do about Devin Williams? Plus, a peek around baseball.

(1:06:13) The embarrassment and fallout of Shedeur Sanders slide from projected top three draft pick, to fifth round choice. Plus, my overall thoughts of draft and who the Steelers chose?

And MUCH more in between.

Late April means plenty of playoffs, baseball’s in full swing and the NFL is back  temporarily as I’ll detail all that’s happening and then some as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(6:27) Four NBA series are tied at one apiece. Why the Knicks are in some trouble? Which series will go the full seven games in the first round? More of Mavericks GM Nico Harrison’s dumb comments. Celtics City, episode 8.

(32:22) Is the NHL going to have a rapid first round as five of their series are 2-0, with another just at 1-0 (Florida-Tampa Bay). Islanders won’t re-sign GM Lou Lamoriello. Rangers keep GM Chris Drury. Kraken fire coach Dan Bylsma.

(50:49) The Mets continue their hot start and are in the midst of a seven game winning streak. And they may not let up.

(1:02:13) Why the NFL Draft has little to no buzz kicking off the festivities in Green Bay tonight?

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.

Joining me on the latest episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast is sideline reporter for ESPN, FOX Sports and The Big East Network, Kacy Standohar. Over the course of an hour plus, we’ll unpack her journey in the media, where you’ll be rather surprised not only on how it started, but how far she’s come? It’s a story that I, and many people out there trying to make a name for themselves, can relate. We’ll get a behind the scenes look of what it’s like to be on the sidelines and the pressures of getting information in real time to broadcast to a wide audience. We’ll touch on the current state of baseball, get into a little NBA & Stanley Cup Playoffs talk, the recent events surrounding Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark and much more!

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I had with the inspirational, engaging and effervescent, Kacy Standohar.

June is in full bloom and so is the latest podcast as the sports world has the following to offer:

(4:12) Big picture on Stanley Cup Finals run for Edmonton & Florida with storylines (Oilers Connor McDavid’s first Cup. Panthers appear in back to back), with many more leading into Game 1.

(26:26) Same look for NBA Finals matchup between Dallas & Boston as Kyrie Irving’s return to Boston, Luka’s first Finals dance, Kristaps Porzingis’s health and revenge lead a few of the top headlines heading into Game 1 on Thursday night.

(46:34) The New York Yankees are on a roll. Aaron Judge has been crushing it, as well as, Juan Soto. Giancarlo Stanton has performed better this year than last. Ace Gerrit Cole will throw a rehab game tomorrow as he tries to get back in the rotation. But the reality is? How will the Yankees handle Soto’s contract demands and negotiations? What’s in the minor leagues? Also, remember who your manager is! Also, some key injuries in the sport. Darryl Strawberry’s number retirement and a look at the schedule over the early part of the week

(1:04:38) A record setting contract to a non-QB took place earlier this morning as Justin Jefferson re-ups with the Vikings for $110M guaranteed.

(1:07:21) Novak Djokovic wins late in the wee hours on Sunday (3:07am to be exact) Why is this acceptable? Can this be changed? Rearranging the start times to avoid such late conclusions of these matches?

(1:10:52) UFC’s Dustin Poirier falls short of earning the lightweight belt as he loses to Islam Makhachov Saturday night. Is this the beginning of the end for the legendary fighter?

T-wolves Primed For 7 Game Push? Celtics On Ice Until Finals. NHL Conf Finals Drama As Series Tied At 2? Negro League Add Stats To MLB Record Books. Time To Blow Up The Mets! Światek Scare At French

Wrapping up another month of high octane sports talk and a rant you won’t wanna miss as the latest podcast is here. On deck:

(4:10) One team has punched their ticket to the NBA Finals (Boston Celtics). We’re still waiting for the other as the Minnesota Timberwolves kept their season alive with a Game 4 win in Dallas? Will the T-wolves extend the series to six? Dare I say, seven games? I’ll recap the Celtics Game 4 win over Indiana as they’ll have a ten day layoff before the start of the Finals next Thursday.

(19:15) The Stanley Cup Conference Finals have a lot of juice as both series are even at two games apiece. First up, the Panthers clawed back to even the series with a pivotal Game 5 at MSG tonight. Who’ll end up as the East Champs as this could end up being a classic Final? Out West, the Edmonton Oilers continue their unpredictable march as they lost Game 3 after being up 2-0 in the first period. In Game 4, the Oilers came back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the series. What can we possibly expect from a team that is a chameleon from one game to the next? Could it go seven games?

(30:37) MLB has implemented the statistics from the Negro Leagues to be a part of baseball moving forward. Why I think that was the right thing for the sport to do? I’ll get into another strange interference call in last night’s Yankees-Angels game. And I’ll continue my assault from Monday’s podcast to put to rest the 2024 New York Mets. Who’s at fault? What do I think the front office, ownership should do to this underachieving, embarrassing team? It’s a rant that comes straight from the heart and gut being a diehard Met fan.

(55:01) #1 women’s player Iga Światek survived a scare from Naomi Osaka in the second round of the French Open as she came back from a 5-2 deficit in the third set to win 7-5. Was it fair for Osaka to meet Swiatek this early in the tournament?

(57:29) There’s a UFC lightweight championship at stake on Saturday night as Dustin Poirier will go up against Islam Makhachev. Is there a Poirier-Conor McGregor bout somewhere down the road?
