Cowboys Untrustworthy In Big Road Games, AFC/NFC South Log Jam, Latest NFL Playoff Picture. Steph's Streak Stopped, Giannis's 'Real' Game Ball. Pistons: 23 L's! Dodgers Continue Reload With Glasnow

It's almost time to get festive and celebrate another holiday season, but before that there's plenty of sports talk to get into as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:

(2:59) As steady, and at times, spectacular this season that the Dallas Cowboys have been, they've been bad in a big spot on the road. Further evidence was yesterday in Buffalo where they were drubbed 31-10 by the Bills. Do you trust this Cowboy team on the road against a stout opponent? They have another shot where they go down to Miami on Christmas Eve to see if they can silence the critics, including yours truly. There's an interesting development with both Souths in the AFC & NFC. You have the Jaguars, who have hit the skids with a three game losing streak, now tied with the Texans and Colts for first place in the AFC South. The Buccaneers impressed and won a huge game in Green Bay, while the Saints keep pace with Tampa after beating the Giants at home and Atlanta (after a bad loss on the road in Carolina) are only a game behind both teams for the top spot in the NFC South. I'll share my disgust with the Steelers effort over the past three weeks, rumors about the possible end of Mike Tomlin as coach. I'll uncover all of the up to the date playoff scenarios in each conference, other news throughout the league (i.e. Chargers firing coach Brandon Staley. Is Bill Belichick not far behind?) as we're down to the final three weeks of the regular season. NOTE: I made a mention of the 49ers losing Super Bowl LIV to Miami, not in Miami. Of course, they lost to Kansas City. My apologies for the faux pas.

(32:05) A few records were snapped and came to a halt in the NBA. Steph Curry had his streak of 268 games of making at least one three pointer ended in a win vs. Portland. Kings guard Keegan Murray made eleven straight three point shots (an NBA record) in a win vs. Utah. And Bucks forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo got the game ball he deserves as he's the all time leader in franchise history when it comes to rebounding. Also, the sad passing of former big man, Eric Montross who succumbed to cancer at the age of 52. I'll keep you abreast of what the latest is throughout as the Clippers have been scorching, the Spurs snap their 18 game losing streak and the Pistons have lost 23 consecutive games and counting.

(44:09) The NHL has been rather low key, although you have a big loss with Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger out with a lower body injury for the forseeable future. How will that impact them in the short term? Plus, whatever else is happening on the ice.

(48:30) MLB's Hot Stove has been cool for the most part, but the Dodgers continue to reload as they've traded for Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow and gave him an $136 million dollar extension. Is Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto on their radar to complete an enormous offseason of transactions?

BUF-KC Classic Highlights Epic NFL Divisional Round. The End For Brady/Rodgers? AFC/NFC Title Preview. Remembering Clark Gillies. Nadal's Path To 21st Slam. Ngannou's MMA Champ

Get ready for an action packed, fast paced, sports podcast party as Episode #235 delivers that and then some with all that's taking place in the world of competition. On deck:

(4:25) The NFL experienced the best Divisional Round in the history of the playoffs, where three of the four teams won on the road in the final seconds and the fourth was a game for the ages!

First up, was the horror show of coaching and quarterbacking by Mike Vrabel & Ryan Tannehill of the Tennessee Titans as they were upset at home by the cool, calm and collected Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Next, was the Green Bay Packers imploding at home as Aaron Rodgers couldn't deliver in the clutch, same for their special teams as the 49ers escape out of Lambeau Field with a big time road victory by their stout defense and some key throws by QB, Jimmy Garoppolo. What's next for Aaron Rodgers? Is this it for him in Green Bay?

The Rams jumped out to a big lead in Tampa, but slowly and surely gave it back due to a few costly turnovers to draw the Buccaneers even. In the end, it was Matthew Stafford's connection to his safety blanket, Cooper Kupp as they marched down the field as time was expiring and hit the go ahead field goal at the final gun. So the defending champions are dethroned as Stafford outplayed Brady, the Bucs defense was awful and now the questions will arise...is this is for Tom Brady?

Just when we thought the three games prior were tough acts to follow, the Bills & Chiefs played an epic, classic playoff game to top them all. It was a near flawless game with only four penalties flagged, zero turnovers, A+ play from both QB's (Josh Allen & Patrick Mahomes) lead changes late in the game, a botched kickoff by Buffalo with :13 seconds left, another final second field goal in regulation. Then the clincher as the Chiefs win it with a TD in OT, which brings up an interesting topic...should both teams get the ball in OT no matter what happens? KC's grit and talent rises to the top. As for the Bills, as heroic as Josh Allen and WR Gabriel Davis was, a long offseason of 'what if's' will be replayed over and over as they were thisclose from hosting the AFC Title Game in their building.

I'll preview both Conference Championship Games, the intrigue and storylines of the 49ers-Rams. Why I don't like the Bengals this time around vs. KC? What would be the best possible Super Bowl matchup be? And some off the field news regarding personnel on some teams throughout the league.

(1:07:06) The Bulls have suffered a couple of injuries to their roster as they lose their standing as the top dog in the East, but the Association is rather quiet as we approach the end of January.

(1:08:52) The same could be said in college basketball as Gonzaga still has the #1 seed in the country as there were no major upsets in the sport over the past week. It's looking as if we're going to have a wide open March Madness which isn't for another month and a half.

(1:09:41) Sadly, I'll remember one of the great New York Islander players who passed away too soon as Clark Gillies died this past Friday. I'll go over how tough and what type of player he was, what he meant to this historic Islander team and the mark he left on those he touched after his playing days were over. Also, the schedule makers have revamped the games that were lost in the early part of the year due to COVID, as well as, taking a look to catch up on what's happening out on the ice.

(1:16:11) The players will step in on Monday (today) and propose their deal to the owners as they try their best to get something done with pitchers and catchers scheduled to report in three weeks. Is there hope for any progress as February nears? MLB did one smart thing. Not having the Rays split their seasons with the city of Montreal which would've been disastrous for the sport.

(1:19:58) I'll have the latest update with what's going on in the Australian Open. It looks like the #1 seed in Ash Barty on the women's side is the favorite to win it all at the moment. Rafael Nadal is still alive on the men's side. Does he have a chance to get to his 21st career Grand Slam win?

(1:22:02) I'll briefly touch on the heavyweight MMA bout between Francis Ngannou vs. Cyril Gane as Ngannou unifies the UFC heavyweight title. Did the match live up to the hype?

(1:23:55) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Brady's GOAT Status, Tampa's 'D', KC's O-Line Implodes In Super Bust, Bauer's 'Soft Landing Spot' In LA. Are The Jazz For Real? NHL/NCAA Covid Chronicles. Who's Favored At Australian Open?

It wasn’t a Super Sunday, but I’ll have a Super Show for you, detailing the big game and everything surrounding the sports universe as Episode #177 is ready for consumption. On deck:

(4:03) The matchup we anticipated fell way short as Tampa Bay suffocated the Kansas City offense as Tom Brady wins yet another Super Bowl. I’ll ask the question, was this game all about the Buccaneers defense? Or how bad the offensive line was for the Chiefs? I’ll get into how this loss ties into the legacies of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes? Is Tom Brady the GOAT as in best NFL player ever? The pre-game, halftime show and commercials as we put to bed the NFL season of 2020. I’ll also discuss the newest members of the football Hall of Fame, NFL awards, Carson Wentz wants out of Philadelphia? Jared Goff’s departure from LA. And an update on Deshaun Watson being traded from Houston.

(37:25) The Trevor Bauer sweepstakes goes to the LA Dodgers as they sign the free agent pitcher to a three year, 102 million dollar deal. Was this a soft landing for him? What about his prospects signing with the Mets? I have an interesting take on this and other baseball news, including the untimely death of Pedro Gomez, Dustin Pedroia’s retirement and more.

(44:15) The NBA has had a quiet week, but I’ll touch on the comments by De’Aaron Fox and LeBron James surrounding the upcoming All Star Game next month. Are the Utah Jazz to be taken seriously in the West?

(50:44) The top teams in the nation that are affected by the coronavirus in college basketball. Will these games be made up?

(53:19) Same for the NHL as more teams have to sit out due to the pandemic.

(56:14) Who are the favorites to win the first tennis major of the year at the Australian Open?

(59:27) I spend a moment discussing former boxer, Leon Spinks, as he passed away over the weekend.

Tampa's 'Real Shot' To Win SB LV/NFL Offseason Frenzy, NBA/NHL Scheduling Dilemma, Ovi's Return/Pens Last Cup Push? MLB Discord, Bauer To Mets? Arenado to STL For Who?

New day. New week. New month. It must mean a new podcast as I deliver ALL that’s happening in the world of sports as Episode 176 is served. On deck:

(3:59) Countdown to Super Bowl LV has begun, with a lead up into the big game. I’ll explain Tampa’s real shot to win based on only one theme. The Deshaun Watson standoff continues. Who is new Coach David Culley? Why not Eric Bieniemy? If I’m the Jets, why I WOULDN’T trade for Watson? The Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff deal. Wait! What? How many #1 picks is Stafford worth? The second retirement of Jason Witten. And what’s next for Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh?

(35:00) Both the NBA & NHL have a quandary when it comes to rescheduling postponed games on their schedule? What are the plans for both leagues to make up these games? I’ll take a look around the Association, including Lakers-Celtics, Nets-Wizards and more.

(45:24) Bringing you up to speed on the latest rankings in college basketball. Who’s trending north? South?

(46:59) I spend a minute on the NBA on discussions about a possible All Star Game in Atlanta come March. Really?

(56:06) Some MLB Hot Stove cooking as I delve into the MLB discord with the players on pushing the season up a month, the universal DH for expanded playoffs. Free agent signings (JT Realmuto & Didi Gregorius), trades (Steven Matz to Toronto, which opens up a possibility of the Mets bringing in Trevor Bauer. Two words: BUYER BEWARE! Also, the Nolan Arenado trade to St. Louis. FOR WHO?) The departure of Masahiro Tanaka and retirement of Daniel Murphy. The Hall of Fame committee vs. Curt Schilling. And Scott Rolen a Hall of Famer? SERIOUSLY?

AFC/NFC Title Recap (Lafleur Inept/Rodgers Legacy, Brady Magic, Chiefs Reign) NBA Surprises & Disappointments, Henry Aaron & Hot Stove Cooking, NHL's COVID Impact, McGregor's Future

Set to close out the first month of the new year with nothing but passionate filled, fast paced sports talk, Episode 175 delivers the goods and then some. On deck:

(3:28) The main themes of the AFC/NFC Title Games are coach Matt Lafleur’s awful decision to kick a field goal as opposed to going for a potential tie. Brady’s magic carries him to a record 10th Super Bowl. The Bills not ready for primetime and business as usual for the Chiefs. I’ll go in-depth on both games, the storylines for Super Bowl LV, Tony Romo’s honeymoon is long over. CBS gets their Super Bowl matchup wish! Also, the latest on Deshaun Watson in Houston. Eric Bieniemy’s head coaching opportunity, what’s left of Matthew Stafford? Is Philip Rivers a Hall of Famer? Lots to dissect as the NFL season comes down to its final game.

(54:20) The NBA season is a month in as I’ll discuss the surprises and disappointments so far. Why I agree with Shaquille O’Neal regarding his comments directed at Jazz guard, Donovan Mitchell? And the Clippers psyche when it really matters are among the topics I’ll touch on.

(1:05:14) An update on college basketball as Michigan will be suspended athletics due to a new coronavirus strain. Kansas loses three straight games for the first time in eight years and the latest on former powerhouses Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky.

(1:08:55) Remembering the life of the immortal Henry Aaron and Don Sutton. There’s been some hot stove activity as I’ll express my thoughts on George Springer going to Toronto, the Yankees bolstering their starting rotation and why the Mets not getting Brad Hand for their bullpen didn’t have me up in arms?

(1:21:41) The NHL dealing with COVID as the Hurricanes and Capitals deal with not either playing or having their big stars (i.e. Alex Ovechkin) in the lineup for the next week or so.

(1:25:34) Conor McGregor loses in his return to the Octagon. What lies ahead for the embattled fighter? And why did he retire in the first place?

(1:29:36) Lastly, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
