The Surprising Islanders, Unlocking Giannis Cheat Code, Will Nash Mesh In BK? Remembering Seaver/Brock. Yankee Freefall In AL East? NFL Over/Unders, Djokovic's DQ! Derby Dud?
 

A jam packed sports podcast party on this Labor Day as I zoom through the sports landscape on Episode 153. On deck:

(3:22) The surprising Islanders advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. How did they do it? What about their next opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning? I’ll have plenty of thoughts on this, a prediction and look at what’s happening in the Western Conference.

(25:23) The NBA playoffs are in the second round and the Bucks have been a major story as they survive a sweep at the hands of the Miami Heat. I have an assessment on how to unlock reigning MVP, Giannis Antetekoumpo’s next ‘cheat code’ to take his game to the next level. Also, is this it for coach Mike Budenholzer? Will Kemba Walker step up in this series? What about Russell Westbrook? Rajon Rondo? All of the playoff breakdown from the bubble and will Steve Nash be able to mesh with his new team in Brooklyn?

(43:38) I’ll remember the lives of two great Hall of Famers who have passed in MLB (Tom Seaver & Lou Brock). I’ll discuss the state of the Yankees as they’ve taken a bit of a freefall here in early September, as well as, a lay of the land throughout baseball as we’re three weeks away from the end of the regular season.

(1:01:22) Are you ready for some football? The NFL begins in three days. I’ll review the over/under win totals, go through some of the personnel moves throughout the league as we embark on another season.

(1:11:32) Novak Djokovic’s shocking exit from the US Open as he was disqualified after striking a line judge with the ball. Will the mens champion become an asterisk when it’s all said and done?

(1:15:29) The Kentucky Derby ran on Saturday with an upset over the heavily favored, Tiz The Law. Why this Run for the Roses didn’t get much fanfare and what does it mean for next years race?

(1:17:30) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
