A new NFL season, baseball pennant races heating up and champions old and new at the US Open are the nuts and bolts of this weeks episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Giants got off to a rough start at home vs. Jacksonville, while the Jets...I'll recap both of the locals and take a trip around the league in another crazy week to start off this NFL campaign. The Yankees have gone 3-3 on their west coast trip through Oakland & Seattle. Their final stop is in Minnesota as they take on the lowly Twins before coming home to complete their regular season home schedule starting on Friday. They currently hold a 2.5 game lead for the first wild card spot. Will they have enough to hold onto the top spot? I'll discuss that and check out the rest of the MLB pennant race landscape as we're down to the final three weeks of the season. I'll also take a look at the road to the mens & womens champions at the US Open this past weekend. Novak Djokovic wins his third title, while 20 year old Naomi Osaka wins her first amidst some controversy surrounding her opponent, Serena Williams. You'll get my thoughts on that and much more on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 29)

September ushers in a busy sports month and I'm here to dissect it all on the latest episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Yankees are in the midst of a long west coast trip as they've struggled to gain ground against the division leading Boston Red Sox. Now, the Oakland A's are hot on their tail as they've won the first game of a three game set, which is putting pressure on the Bombers as they maintain the top spot in the wild card race. I'll get into all of the various scenarios regarding the Yankees as they head into the final month of the AL pennant chase. As for the Mets, three things that'll be discussed are as follows. Jacob deGrom's Cy Young candidacy, David Wright's possible return and 1B Peter Alonso not being called up to the big team after a huge year in AAA. Plus, an up to the second recap on the AL & NL pennant races going on in the MLB.

Closing out the month of August in grand style on the latest episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Yankees broke out the brooms in Baltimore as they swept a four game series vs. the Orioles. In the process, they've made strides in the AL East as they're currently six games back (five in the loss column) of the first place Boston Red Sox. Can the Yankees continue to climb in the standings and catch their archrivals? I'll break down their chances as the Bombers look to inch closer to the top of their division. The Mets have been playing out the string for the last two months, but there are a couple of developing storylines to look out for. Is Jeff McNeil the second baseman of the future? Will Zack Wheeler continue his dominance over the course of the final five weeks of the season? Is the front office 'sold' on these two players? You'll get my thoughts on this and the rest of the MLB landscape as the pennant races heat up as we approach September. I'll also take a look at both the Jets and Giants as they head into their preseason finales on Thursday. Is it a lock that Sam Darnold has won the starting job as Jets QB? Will Saquon Barkley be ready for the season opener against Jacksonville? Those questions and much more about what's taking place throughout the NFL Training Camps. Plus, tennis's final major of the year, the US Open, Urban Meyer's suspension and college football kicks off this weekend. Lots to get into on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast.

The Yankees close out an eleven game homestand with a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. They hit the road for six games, including two down in Miami to face the Marlins. It'll be the return of Giancarlo Stanton, playing his first game back since the blockbuster trade last December. You'll get my take on his anticipated return to South Beach, but more importantly, how this team will play out the last six weeks of the season as they're pretty much locked into hosting the wild card game on October 2nd. I'll briefly touch on the Mets, in particular, the quest for Jacob deGrom and the Cy Young Award in 2018.

Or settle for a one game, winner advances to the ALDS? You'll get my hot takes on all of the above as the pennant race in the AL heats up. There's a bit of NFL news coming out of both Giants and Jets camp. The agent for Odell Beckham Jr. left town without a contract extension. Will a deal get done before the opener?
