Delivering the latest podcast on a day that this country will remember forever, squeezing a dose of reality and what we enjoy as sports fans simultaneously. On deck:

(6:40) Remembering the events of 9/11 as someone who was near the site of the World Trade Center 24 years ago today.

(17:21) Are the Mets in danger of missing the postseason, despite the fact that they control their own destiny? I’ll uncover what has gone wrong and why Met fans should be worried, but also cautiously optimistic simultaneously? I’ll see what else is happening throughout the sport as what I thought would be a sleepy September is turning out to be an eventful one for MLB.

(38:07) NFL Week 2 has a Super Bowl rematch as the Chiefs need to bounce back in a big way after not just losing in the opening week, but to erase the bad taste of getting embarrassed in the big game to the Eagles. I’ll check in on the rest of the schedule and what to watch for this weekend.

(49:24) College football picks up after a not so good Saturday last week. I’ll see what’s on tap for the third week in the sport.

(52:15) A new NBA rule was announced, which made sense at first, until it didn’t? Plus, the WNBA playoffs will tip off on Saturday. I’ll do my best to preview what to look out for in the coming weeks.

(1:01:22) A big time scorer in the NHL turns down the biggest deal in league history. It’s not who you think, but how will that impact the player who you think it is?

(1:04:49) Boxing will have their night on Saturday as Canelo Alvarez will fight Terence Crawford for the super middleweight championship. Any idea why this bout isn’t getting the love that it deserves?

And MUCH MORE in between.

Revved for a big week of podcasts as this is the first of THREE coming your way. Doing what I love best in bringing you up to speed on ALL that’s happening in sports. On deck:

(2:54) A couple of housekeeping notes before commencing. On Friday, I’ll have a special guest as sports talk show host of WFAN in New York, Keith McPherson will join me to discuss his compelling journey in this business. It’s a conversation that’s packed with plenty of inspiration and dedication that you won’t want to miss. And, of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the promotion regarding OLIPOP. Please see above.

(5:39) I kick off the podcast talking about the dreadful Chicago White Sox. They’re one loss away from tying an American League record and three away from matching the major league record of 23. Will they do it? Who are their opponents? I’ll get into who they’ll play this week and could they possibly become a part of baseball futility? Blake Snell’s no-hitter on Friday vs. Cincinnati. Mike Trout is done for the year with another injury. What’s next for the three time MVP? Gleyber Torres gets deservedly benched. What’s his future in pinstripes if I were the GM? I’ll check on the latest in both leagues as the divisions and wild card races are heating up.

(33:21) NFL preseason games will be in full bloom this week, but there’s been a rash of injuries throughout with some key players (Puka Nacua, De’Andre Hopkins, Justin Herbert, Geno Smith, etc.) in the sport that we’ll have to keep an eye on. There was another retirement (Tarik Cohen), a big time signing in Tampa Bay (OL Tristan Wirfs) and will anyone watch Hard Knocks on HBO (Chicago Bears) starting tomorrow night?

(39:03) Gordon Hayward, the longtime member of the Utah Jazz, played with the Celtics, Hornets, etc. retired after 14 years in the NBA.

(41:02) The Summer Games are into the final week in Paris. I don’t understand why events/sports like golf or tennis is a part of the Olympic landscape. Should it even be a part of the Olympiad? I’ll keep you up to date on what’s gone on over the past few days, including Simone Biles coming in fifth on the balance beam. Was anyone surprised by her performance? Should she be criticized for falling short of the gold?

(51:32) Boxer Terrance Crawford wins a close bout on Saturday night to become a four time champ in different weight classes. Why is it that he’s not getting the recognition he deserves as a fighter who has a record of (41-0 with 31 KO’s)?
