Rumbling, bumbling and fumbling through the last podcast of the month, after being AWOL on Thursday, you know I’ll show out as best as I could to unpack all that’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:
(6:45) I’d be remiss if I didn’t apologize for not releasing a podcast last Thursday. To those who were curious or wondering what happened? I’ll explain here and share why and how it all transpired.
(8:44) To my fellow Met fans, let’s exhale. Today, they have two games to play, but all we want AND need is just one victory. ONE! Why? Because one win will qualify for the postseason and complete the unexpected run to a berth in October. I’ll unpack the NL Wild Card playoff scenario as the Mets will play a doubleheader in Atlanta to finalize the bracket, which will commence tomorrow either in San Diego, Milwaukee, or dare I say, home! I’ll preview the AL Wild Card (KC-BAL & DET-HOU) with intriguing storylines heading into the first round of the MLB playoffs. I’ll also get into some news and notes throughout the sport (Reds manager OUT in Cincinnati. Same in Miami with Skip Schumaker. The White Sox lose a record 121 games. Rockies OF Charlie Blackmon retiring and the A’s final game in Oakland.)
(34:11) NFL Week 4 wasn’t much to write home about. My takeaways from yesterday? Are the Ravens ‘that team’ after demolishing the previously undefeated Bills last night? Could this Jet team face some turmoil after another brutal loss at home to Denver? Do the Steelers have their QB of the present and future after another solid performance by Justin Fields? The week wraps up with another Monday night doubleheader this evening. Does anyone else like the double dip in primetime? Or just stick to the one game?
(57:11) Alabama averted an epic disaster to their rival Georgia at home on Saturday night in what turned out to be a classic. Are the Crimson Tide on the inside track to be a title contender? I’ll discuss the two bad losses to top teams (#6 Ole Miss and #10 Utah) on Saturday and one that survived a Hail Mary (#8 Miami) vs. VA Tech.
(1:06:08) NBA training camps open today as the NBA season begins three weeks from tomorrow. A blockbuster trade took place on Friday where the Knicks acquired Minnesota big man, Karl Anthony Towns comes to New York, fortifying a roster built to get to an NBA Finals. Is Towns the final piece to their championship puzzle? Former MVP, Derrick Rose calls it a career after a 16 year run in the Association. Is he bound for the Hall of Fame?
