Summer is in its swan song, with fall making its way into our consciousness as so is the latest podcast, detailing ALL that’s happening in the world of sports. On deck:
(6:50) The podcast is on the cusp of a milestone. The 500th episode is forthcoming next Monday as the countdown has begun towards that achievement.
(7:14) After briefly touching on the Mets chase to secure the final Wild Card spot in the National League, the NFL is in pole position as Week 2 comes to a close. I’ll highlight the shocking outcomes of yesterday’s games (i.e. losses by Detroit, Dallas & San Francisco), which leads to who’s the surprising 2-0 teams (Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Minnesota, to name a few) On the flip side, who have shocked the early part of the schedule with an 0-2 start (Baltimore, Cincinnati, Jacksonville & LA Rams). I’ll recap all that took place throughout the sport and peek into tonight’s matchup between Atlanta vs. Philadelphia.
(44:26) Georgia got out of Dodge with a scratching, clawing, fighting to the bitter 13-12 win at Kentucky. Was this a good thing? Or one to be concerned about? Texas unveiled highly touted prospect, Arch Manning. (If you don’t know, you’ll have to tune in) with QB Quinn Ewers leaving with an oblique injury. He only put up five total TD’s in a cakewalk of a win vs. UTSA. You had LSU depart Columbia with a last minute win at South Carolina. Besides that, there were slim pickings on the collegiate level.
(52:52) MLB is down to the final couple of the weeks of the season. After a rough back two games in Philadelphia for the Mets, can they make it to Atlanta next Tuesday even in the NL wild card chase. I’ll keep you up to date on what’s happening in the AL wild card as well. Also, are the Yankees a shoo in to clinch the AL East? What about the health of Dodgers pitcher, Tyler Glasnow as he may be done for the year with a nagging elbow injury?
(1:10:08) Training camp opens up in the NHL on Thursday. I have a couple of newsworthy items (A key defenseman out for New Jersey. Seattle extends defenseman Adam Larsson. And the untimely death of former tough guy, Stephen Peat.
(1:12:58) Canelo Alvarez retains his super middleweight title by easily beating Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas Saturday night. As for UFC, Merab Dvalishvili handily beats Sean O’Malley in a decisive victory for the bantamweight title.
