Mahomes GOAT Status? Chief Dynasty Or Not? Bitter 49er Loss Headline Classic End To A Non Classic Super Bowl. NBA Heads Into Break. NHL Needs Fighters! Pitchers/Catchers On Deck

It was a Super ending to a very good, but not classic game. I’ll unwrap all of what took place in Las Vegas last night and everything else that’s happening in sports as the latest podcast is at your fingertips. On deck:

(3:02) The legend grows with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. Is this a dynasty or a dynasty in the making? And a bitter loss for a franchise that hasn’t one a Super Bowl in almost three decades are the big picture items to unpack in a good, not great game, but classic ending in an overtime thriller where the Chiefs won 25-22 over the 49ers. I’ll get into every nook and cranny of the game, strategy, the biggest play of Super Bowl LVIII, is Patrick Mahomes the GOAT?, the halftime show, Tony Romo’s performance as color commentator, the rating of the broadcast and commercials as I put to rest another NFL season. I also have a big gripe with the Hall of Fame selection committee as they snubbed one time Chargers tight end, Antonio Gates, to be enshrined in Canton with Julius Peppers, Dwight Freeney, Patrick Willis, Devin Hester, et al. for the upcoming 2024 HOF class.

(47:53) The NBA is just about ready to take a respite as the All Star Break is approaching. I’ll get into what the latest is going on in the Association, including the aftermath of the trade deadline on Thursday.

(52:20) On the ice, the league has to deal with another incident on Saturday night with Maple Leafs Morgan Rielly cross checking Senators Ridley Greig in the neck after taking a slap shot into an empty net. Which begs the question for yours truly. Can we bring back the resident tough guy for each team on their roster? Alex Ovechkin inches closer to Wayne Gretzky’s all time goal scoring record, although he did eclipse Gretzky’s record for most empty net goals, if you’re into that. There are a couple of key injuries to report (Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon and Lightning’s Mikhail Sergachev) as they could miss quite some time, especially Sergachev.

(58:34) We’re just a few days away from pitchers and catchers reporting in MLB. I’ll share some thoughts on what Shohei Ohtani said about feeling like he’s a rookie again, the retirement of pitcher Corey Kluber and another small dark cloud hangs over the Mets franchise as former GM Billy Eppler was suspended for a year, although he’s no longer a part of the organization.

Bruins Epic Flop, Leafs FINALLY Break 1st Round Hex, Avalanche Collapse Lead NHL. Warriors DNA, Grizzlies Immaturity With 2nd Round Preview. MLB's First Month Recap. Lamar's Big Pay/NFL Draft Talk

May has arrived and so is the latest podcast that'll get the sports fan revved up on all that I have to say on what's taken place over the weekend. On deck:

(3:07) It's been a wild and crazy first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as it's coming to a close. Speaking of which, a team that we didn't think would be closed out at this point of the tournament are the Boston Bruins. They had a 3-1 series lead over the Florida Panthers. They were unable to seal the deal after losing a gut wrenching Game 7 in their own building. For all of their regular season records and accolades, was this year a major disappointment? On the flip side, the Toronto Maple Leafs lift a heavy piano off their backs as they FINALLY win a first round series, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in six. Now that they've crossed this hurdle, is a Stanley Cup run on the docket? Then there are the defending champion Colorado Avalanche, who were unable to make it to the Conference Semifinals as they lose three games at home to the expansion Seattle Kraken. Was this a bitter loss? Or is it lessened due them winning the Cup last year? I'll also share my thoughts on the Islanders losing in six to Carolina. And look ahead to a Game 7 tonight between the Rangers-Devils and the semifinal matchups between Florida-Boston, Edmonton-Vegas, Seattle-Dallas as we get set for Round 2.

(33:13) The Association had an interesting past few days. The Warriors were able to win Game 7 in Sacramento going away in the second half, including a record setting performance by Stephen Curry (50 points in the final game of the series) as they dispose the upstart but inexperienced Kings. Which leads to another battle between he and a LeBron James led team in the LA Lakers. You had the Lakers take care of the Memphis Grizzlies, embarrassing them in Game 6. I'll talk about how the Grizzlies need some wholesale changes and (SURPRISE!) who would be a good fit to get them to the next level? You won't want to miss that take. I'll preview Sixers-Celtics, Lakers-Warriors and get into Game 1 between the Heat-Knicks and how that matchup will play out.

(50:12) MLB has surpassed its first month of the season. I'll share a few takeaways as to what's transpired. A couple of surprises (i.e. Rays, Pirates, Rangers & Orioles) and a few disappointments (i.e. Cardinals, Yankees, Padres and Mariners) as I get into what's happening on the diamond.

(58:32) Lamar Jackson ends up a Baltimore Raven after all. The bigger question is, will Coach John Harbaugh re-tool his offense to being more pass oriented, especially with Odell Beckham Jr. in the mix? The 2023 NFL Draft has come and gone. I'll dive into some of the key notes of who did what and who missed out.
