Time to dissect the latest on what’s happening in the world of sports as Episode #143 is ready to come at you full steam ahead! On deck:

(3:10) The uncertainty of sports making its return or reboot as COVID-19 cases continue to rise throughout the nation, but there may be a very slim, glimmer of hope. i’ll explain.

(22:37) The NHL have set up their hubs for the postseason. One issue at the forefront is the players deadline to opt out of participating as the season resumes? Why this needs to be corrected PRONTO?

(29:25) The NFL may have a quandary on their hands as the players do not want to dress up and play during the preseason. Is this a concern for the owners? What are the potential ramifications in the short and long term? Also, the Redskins may finally get rid (and long overdue) of the controversial mascot name. What should the new team name be? And is there dissension in the front office surrounding Redskins owner, Daniel Snyder?

(42:02) Why I’m choosing not to predict the over/under win totals in the MLB this season?

(45:31) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week. NOTE: My commentary on the latest controversy surrounding the NFL’s decision to add the Black National Anthem prior to Week 1 games only and what the league and the powers that be, should do moving forward!

Leaving the candid, negative vibes behind for this week as I shine on the positivity of the sports world as I present, Episode 141. On deck:

(2:51) Kicking off the podcast with a theme of good vibes as I focus on not detailing how COVID-19 could potentially shut down sports as we know it.

(6:41) MLB’s upcoming 2020 season. Will it be legitimate? What if a player flirts with batting .400? I have lots to share on that.

(16:14) NBA’s restart schedule has been released. It’s way too early for predictions, but players are opting out of playing in Orlando. Will this trend continue? Also, LeBron James celebrates an infamous anniversary. It was ten years ago that The Decision was the talk of all sports. I’ll recap the hoopla surrounding that firestorm.

(27:12) The NHL are narrowing down hubs for their postseason. Who are the front runners? The league is working on the next CBA, but there’s a caveat. I’ll explain. And who came up with this bizarre way to get the number 1 pick in this years draft? You won’t want to miss my assessment on that topic, as well as, there are a few inductees to Hockey’s Hall Of Fame as I’ll get into whether or not they are worthy of being enshrined in Toronto.

(37:26) Cam Newton has finally found a home. It’s with New England. I’ll share his possible impact in Foxborough but also chime in on the biggest reason why this may not work? The head of the players union (DeMaurice Smith) made some sober comments regarding the players protective safety before the start of training camp. Is he wrong for bringing it up?

(45:13) Plus, NYC Marathon canceled. The golf over the weekend at The Travelers in CT. Bubba Wallace fallout from the alleged noose in his garage and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Doing my best to provide some light in a dark sports world that doesn’t seem as if it’s getting better, will be my goal in Episode 139! On deck:

(2:57) After police brutality was all the rage throughout the month, guess who made its return back into the news cycle? That’s right. COVID-19! I’ll dive in as to what the latest outbreaks throughout the country means as far as sports restarting (NBA, NHL) or trying to start (MLB) and the effects of it in the not too distant future (NFL). It’s a grim reality of an assessment that you won’t want to miss.

(22:29) An up to the minute analysis of the psychological tug of war between the players and owners of the MLB. We’re waiting word on the players vote on whether they’ll accept the latest (and final) proposal by the owners. Will they agree? Should they play? It’s getting late early as Yogi Berra used to say. You’ll definitely want to process and digest what I have to say about that.

(31:22) Brett Favre was asked about Colin Kaepernick and how he’s compared to the late football player, Pat Tillman AND if there’s a correlation between Kaepernick, Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali? You KNOW I went IN on this subject. Is Kaep a hero? Is he worth being mentioned in the same breath as the aforementioned icons of sports past? Another fiery take as I go full open field tackle on this subject. I’ll also touch on Jamal Adams of the New York Jets and his trade request out of Gotham. What should the Jets brass do? Listen in to find out for yourself.

(44:12) The Belmont Stakes kicked off the Triple Crown of Horse Racing for the year. When it’s all said and done, if Tiz The Law is victorious in the last two races as he was in the first, will it be legit?

(47:26) I’ll have a quick tennis update on the US Open still set for late August. Serena Williams will be there. What about Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? What if they do not participate? I’ll share that…

(49:45) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Zooming through the month and the sports stratosphere bringing you up to date on ALL that’s going on in the world of sports, Episode 137. On deck:

(3:13) The players and owners of the MLB have become increasingly distant by the day when it comes to an agreement to play ball. There’s only one person who can solve this. Unfortunately, it may leave a stain with the group he works for. I’ll explain.

(17:57) A couple of interesting notes came from the NBA over the weekend. One - Kyrie Irving’s comments about not finishing the season in light of the recent civil unrest in this country. Two - the players concern about isolation, being in a ‘bubble’, their health to complete a season has come under pressure in the past few days. Is Kyrie right? Should some of the players back off, if they wish?

(33:33) The latest on the NHL hubs as they look to start training camp on July 10th. Also, how the first round of the playoffs could be an advantage for the 5-12 seeds going up against the 1-4 seeds in the second round?

(38:17) An NFL head coach will kneel with his players during the national anthem, as well as, multiple players as well. What will the owners do? They’ve been quiet up until this point.

(43:00) I discuss the summer of 1998 with Sammy Sosa & Mark McGwire’s home run chase. Alex Cora’s comments on his participation in the 2017 Astros sign stealing scandal.

(44:45) Why I was not attracted to the Charles Schwab golf tournament over the weekend? Roger Federer hangs it up for 2020 and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

(12:12) Recapping the NFL Draft winners and losers, the wheeling and dealing throughout the league, why drafting a QB in Green Bay was a risk, but justified? Also, will the NFL continue to be unscathed during the coronavirus?

A couple of weeks ago, I shared my euphoria and excitement as a fan over my favorite teams (i.e. Mets, Steelers, Celtics, Islanders and Hoyas) winning a championship. Today, it’s the complete opposite as I bring to you (Episode 127) my perspective of digesting their toughest defeats.

(4:18) A disappointing collapse in the 1996 Big East Final, among a couple of other losses, will never erase the bitter taste of losing a national championship in 1985 as Georgetown bows to Villanova.

(12:37) The Drive For Five. Losing to the Rangers in the first round back in the 90’s was bad, but you’ll be surprised as to what the roughest NY Islanders loss was for me.

(19:26) Tough defeats at the hands of the Lakers in big spots highlight this brutal stretch for the Boston Celtics.

(28:40) It gets interesting here. The Steelers suffered some inexplicable losses in the postseason, but nothing like the 1994 AFC Championship Game vs. the Chargers. I’ll explain why.

(46:02) And then…there are the Mets. Losing to the Yankees in the Subway Series? The Royals in 2015? Not even close. There are three that come to mind, with not just one, but TWO honorable mention that you won’t want to miss out on.

(59:05) Lastly, I’ll recap the top headlines of the first round of the NFL Draft. Not a lot of drama, but some surprises, especially what took place in Green Bay.

Get ready to be entertained and informed with some credible opinions on what’s going on in sports as Episode 126 brings the heat. On deck:

(2:13) SPOILER ALERT: I’ll dissect the first two parts of the long awaited documentary, The Last Dance, as it unfolds the final championship season of the Chicago Bulls. There were some very interesting takeaways from it, including, Michael Jordan’s competitive drive, Scottie Pippen’s disdain for GM Jerry Krause and owner Jerry Reinsdorf’s lack of input in regards to keeping one of the greatest teams of all time in tact and much more.

(24:10) The NFL Draft is upon us. I’ll share with you who is the most intriguing story of the first round. The TV aspect of it as this virtual draft is the first one of its kind. Should the Dolphins and Chargers move up to get their quarterback? My sleeper of the draft, rumors, news and whole lot more.

(40:56) The possibility of a world without sports for 2020, with a couple of potential exceptions. You’ll definitely won’t want to miss what I have to say about this as we continue to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

(53:02) A few notes from the MLB. Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Listen to "The Last Dance, Parts 1 & 2, Tua Tagovailoa And The 2020 NFL Draft, The Possibility Without Sports This Year" on Spreaker.

Joining me on a very special Episode 125 is MLB relief pitcher, formerly of the Miami Marlins and New York Mets, A.J. Ramos.

We discuss his childhood and love for sports back in his native home of Texas. How he furiously rehabbed from Tommy John surgery and the risk of coming back well before he was expected to pitch in games that mattered. We also get into his big league debut, which he shares in great detail. His 2016 All-Star experience in San Diego, being traded to the Mets (and his love for the city and its fans) the ‘spirit’ of the late Jose Fernandez and a whole lot more.
