Get ready for some classic podcasts this week (THREE OF THEM) as I could do these in my sleep with so much to unpack, you won’t know what hit you as the sports world will shift into fifth gear. On deck:

(6:50) They ran out of gas and magic simultaneously. The 2024 New York Mets were unable to meet their crosstown rivals in a Subway Series as they were defeated in the NLCS by the LA Dodgers in six games. What’s next for this franchise as they try to take this team to the next level? As I mentioned, the Yankees punched their ticket over a pesky, gutty Guardians team in five games. It sets the stage for a colossal dream matchup between two old rivals. This is only the beginning, people as Thursday’s podcast will have plenty of breakdown, analysis, predictions and personal investment. What I will discuss here is how baseball is ecstatic over this World Series, but will there be interest throughout the nation over this talent rich Fall Classic?

(37:31) There’s only one remaining undefeated team in the NFL. To no surprise, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. What is a surprise is the output of QB Patrick Mahomes, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns to date. How is this possible? The Vikings lost their first game of the year to the Lions, who have overtaken the NFC North. A puzzling QB change in Pittsburgh comes up roses as Russell Wilson put forth a good three final quarters to run the Jets out of Acrisure Stadium. I’ll also discuss a brutal injury to a depleted 49er offense, the disaster in Cleveland, not just with Deshaun Watson, but the owner wants a domed stadium in a nearby suburb? Saquon Barkley, Packers breathing down the Lions & Vikings necks and much more!

(56:02) A topsy turvy college football regular season continues with Georgia dominating defensively at Texas, moving up three spots in the ranking, where Texas falls back to #5. What about Alabama, losing their second game of the season at Tennessee, but with Missouri and a trip to LSU in the near future, could they not be a part of the college football playoff mix?

(1:03:40) Hoops fan, the NBA tips off tomorrow night. I’ll have a preview of the upcoming 2024-25 year in the morning, but with the Celtics raising their 18th banner to the rafters with the Knicks coming in, on top of Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely for the Clippers to the chagrin of the owner Steve Ballmer who’s opening a brand new crown jewel of a building on Wednesday night (Intuit Dome). I’ll send some kudos to the NY Liberty who won their first WNBA title. Was it amid some controversy in a thrilling Game 5 over Minnesota? And college coach Tony Bennett of Virginia retires due to the “current environment” of the landscape with NIL’s and transfer portals impacting the sport.

(1:14:20) Two weeks into the NHL season, you have some teams that are unbeaten or undefeated (Winnipeg is 5-0) or winless (San Jose is 0-4-2 and Nashville is 0-5) as the play on ice is just warming up.

Fired up for another opportunity to do what I love, behind the microphone and in front of this camera (for those that are watching) sharing my thoughts and analysis on ALL that’s happening in sports. On deck:

(6:39) MLB is in the middle of their championship series as two teams are halfway to the World Series. The Yankees have handled the Guardians over the first two games of the series, winning both without breaking a sweat. Have I really been paying attention to this snoozefest of a showdown? I’ll talk about that on the back end of the baseball segment. The NLCS has the Dodgers up 2-1 after another shutout in a blowout Game 3 vs. the Mets. I’ll get into why the Mets MUST win Game 4 and even breakdown how important it is for them to get back to California up 3-2 with one game to punch their ticket to the Fall Classic?! CORRECTION: I said the the 90’s Cleveland Indian teams never got to a World Series in that decade (although I mentioned they lost to the Braves and Marlins in 1995 & 97 respectively). I meant to say that they never WON a World Series. My apologies for the error.

(29:18) After another disappointing loss on Monday night, the Jets may have found their cure to their recent losing ways acquiring former Raiders WR Davante Adams, reuniting him with QB Aaron Rodgers. I’ll explain why this is NOT the case that Adams will come in and save their season. There was another big move in their own division just hours after Adams coming East as the Bills trade for Amari Cooper. How big of a factor will he be for QB Josh Allen and their offense? Jerry Jones is in the news again. He had some not so nice words for a couple of radio talk show hosts about the state of the Cowboys. I have a few not so nice words for the ubiquitous owner of America’s Team. I’ll peek at the Week 7 schedule, where there are a couple of good games (DET-MIN, KC-SF) and two more Monday night games?

(47:23) College football has another big weekend with two enormous games (Georgia-Texas, Alabama-Tennessee) but what does this mean in the grand scheme of things? Is it much? Is it little to none?

(53:34) The NBA tips off in five days. I’ll review what the over/under win totals are as I prepare for an NBA Preview next week.

(59:42) On the ice, there was a wonderful tribute in Columbus for their fallen player, Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who both died due to a bike accident in late August. What’s going on in Colorado? The Avalanche have gotten off to an 0-4 start to their season. I’ll discuss that, Edmonton finally getting a win after three losses, the fast starts in Dallas and Calgary and a goaltender scoring a goal as we’re ten days into the regular season.

Kick starting another jam packed week of sports talk as I detailed ALL of the latest and greatest. Thanks for tuning in to get your fix. On deck:

(6:37) It’s championship series time in MLB with one game complete in the NL. The Dodgers have dominated the final two games of the NLDS vs. the Padres and Game 1 last night, to the tune of 33 consecutive scoreless innings. Is the pressure off of the NL West champs as they escaped another first round exit? What are the keys for the Mets to get back in the series and win the NL? I’ll take a look at the AL in how the Yankees & Guardians have gotten to this point and preview what to possibly expect in that series? I’ll also share my thoughts on what matchup MLB wants to see in the World Series. One isn’t a surprise. The other one is, so you won’t want to miss it.

(34:48) After six weeks of the NFL season, it hasn’t been as compelling or riveting to date. There are a few feel good stories (Vikings, Texans, Commanders), but overall, there hasn’t been much to write about. What’s going on with the Cowboys as they got blasted 47-9 at home? Is Jaguars coach Doug Pederson going to leave London with a job before it’s all said and done? What got into Eagles coach Nick Sirianni jawing back at the Philly faithful? I’ll go around the league to check on what’s happening, including a big Monday night game between the Bills-Jets.

(50:51) College football had another great weekend, including a classic between Ohio State-Oregon. But it comes with a big caveat. Has the college football playoff ruined the regular season? I’ll explain why, even after big wins by Oregon, Penn State and LSU, among others made news on Saturday.

(1:02:21) After a very brief mention of Donte DiVincenzo’s spat with former assistant Knicks coach, Rick Brunson at the end of a preseason game, how about the Utah Hockey Club? Off to a 3-0 start, they’ve lit the lamp with plenty of goal scoring as they make their way through the tri-state area of NYC, beating the Islanders and Rangers while looking to sweep their visit with a game in New Jersey tonight. What is happening in Edmonton as the Western Conference Champs are off to an 0-3 start while being outscored 15-3, losing all three games at home!?

What a difference a few days can make as I’m riding high and excited as I can be, here to deliver an hour plus of my analysis on what the sports world has to offer as the latest podcast has arrived! On deck:

(6:41) It’s a wild ride that I don’t want to get off from. The New York Mets have advanced to the NLCS for the first time since 2015 as they dispose of the Philadelphia Phillies in four games. Is this really happening? Who are these guys? I’ll go over the past two resounding victories, have a request for the baseball gods and could this ride take us fans to a World Series? I’ll check in on the other series as the Dodgers showed some toughness to push the Padres to a deciding fifth game. The Yankees get back on the beam after a rough Game 2 loss to put the Royals on the brink. Can Gerrit Cole put the hammer down in a close out game? Then the Guardians have to stay alive in Detroit as the Tigers are flying high to see if they can get back to an ALCS for the first time since 2013. I’ll also share my thoughts on the passing of former Red Sox pitcher, Luis Tiant, who died at the age of 83.

(41:26) Five plus weeks into the NFL season, we’ve got our first head coach fired as Robert Sale was given his walking papers by the New York Jets. Was this too soon? Is his replacement (defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich) the answer? It’s a rather light Week 6 schedule as the two highlight games are Washington at Baltimore, Detroit at Dallas and a big Monday night between the Bills and Jets.

(52:35) College football has a GINORMOUS game on Saturday night as #2 Ohio State will visit #3 Oregon. What does this mean for the college football playoff picture? There are two other biggies forthcoming (#1 Texas at #18 Oklahoma, #9 Ole Miss vs. #13 LSU which we’ll keep an eye on.

(56:16) The NHL is back on the sports map. It’s only been a couple of days, but I’ll discuss the Panthers opening night win and banner celebration. The Utah Hockey Club wins their first ever game and now come to the New York area over the next five days, while the Rangers may be on a mission with a statement shutout over the aging Penguins in Pittsburgh.

(1:00:49) Rafael Nadal will go off into the sunset as he’ll retire at the end of the tennis season. I’ll recap his spirit, championship play and does he belong on the sport’s Mt. Rushmore?

Tougher Loss: Astros Or Phillies? D-backs-Rangers World Series Preview. 49ers: The System Or QB? Weak College Football Saturday. NBA's First Two Days. Bruins Pick Up From Last Year. What About Vegas?

As we get set to embark on the 2023 holiday season, with Halloween forthcoming, it's time to hand out some early tricks and treats with all that the sports world has to give as the latest edition is here. On deck:

(2:58) The World Series is set. Before I preview a very unlikely matchup between the Diamondbacks-Rangers, I have to dissect the brutal home losses of the Astros and Phillies in the previous round. Which team/fan base had it worse? The Astros won a classic Game 5 in Arlington only to come home to blow the final two in their building? Or the Phillies, who had been unbeaten at home, losing Games 6 & 7 and four out of five to an 84 win Arizona team? I'll uncover all of that, plus, preview who'll win and who I'm rooting for to win the Fall Classic as it commences tomorrow night. I'll also chime in on some managerial news where Bob Melvin goes from San Diego to San Francisco, while the Mets (to no surprise) will interview former Brewers manager, Craig Counsell.

(25:14) Is it time to be concerned about the San Francisco 49ers? Not only have the lost two in a row, they will not have starting QB, Brock Purdy as he's in concussion protocol. With Sam Darnold, the backup, taking his place, is it more the system or is it the QB? We'll have to wait and find out, but it's an interesting question to address. I'll peek at the Week 8 schedule, where there's a smattering of decent games as we inch closer to the halfway point of the season.

(31:15) College football's Saturday schedule is looking rather thin as we're still a few weeks away from big time conference rivals facing one another.

(33:56) The NBA season is just a couple of days old. I'll get into a couple of Nuggets (pun intended) as they completed a 'five game sweep' of the Lakers. I'll explain. Also, Kristaps Porzingis's Celtics debut, Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama's first game and Luka Doncic's triple double in the same game. Former NBA player Kenyon Martin recently stated that Doncic's teammate, Kyrie Irving is better than Luka. I'll debate that as we're just getting started on a new campaign.

(38:49) Are the Boston Bruins picking up where they left off from last years marathon of a regular season? They are currently 6-0 as an encore to their record setting 2022-23. Colorado has gotten off to a torrid 6-0 start. But wait, what about the defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights? They are 7-0 as they've shown zero hangover from winning their first championship.

Which Astros Team Will Show Up In GM 7? A Phillie Coronation? Lions Tamed, Dolphins Trapped, Bills Corralled In NFL Week 7. Penn St. Comes Up Small. A Major Injury In NHL. NBA Over/Under Totals

Your favorite little podcast host is playing injured as I'm fighting a head cold, but that won't ever stop me from sharing my feelings on the latest that's happening in the sports universe. On deck:

(2:51) Have we seen this movie before? The Astros were down 0-2 going to Arlington in the ALCS. They came away with a three game sweep, including a dramatic ninth inning comeback in Game 5, with a chance to wrap up the AL pennant last night, but lost 9-2 to set the stage for tonight. They lost all of their home games during the 2019 World Series when they had home field advantage. Will history repeat itself four years later? Or will they come out victorious to see if they can defend their title? What about Rangers starter tonight Max Scherzer? Can he slay some recent playoff demons on his end to put his team into the Fall Classic for the first time in a dozen years? As for the NLCS, there could be a coronation in Philadelphia today as they look to reach a second consecutive World Series? We're getting toward the end of the LCS as the MLB has some drama, which we didn't think would be the case four or five days ago.

(21:39) NFL Week 7 answered a few questions about some teams that have big expectations this year, but came up small. The Lions were tamed big time in Baltimore as they were blown out 38-6. The Dolphins were competitive, but can't be trusted to win a big game on the road with a loss in Philadelphia. And the Bills did have a lead, but were unable to hold off the lowly Patriots in Foxborough. Are those teams to be taken seriously when the money is on the line? I'll go through the rest of the schedule, including my beloved Steelers and how they win these games with smoke and mirrors.

(40:18) Penn State had a chance to make a statement by winning a huge game at Columbus against Ohio State. Instead, they shrunk in the big moment in a 20-12 loss and have taken themselves out of the running for one of the top teams in the nation. The Crimson Tide were down by double digits at home at the half, but came on with 27 unanswered points to beat Tennessee. Then USC will not be heard from the rest of this season as they lose to their kryptonite the Utah Utes. I'll go through which teams are at the forefront of the college football playoff mix as we're past the halfway point of the season.

(50:13) There was big news in the NHL as they had to hold their collective breaths when Oilers superstar, Connor McDavid will be out for 1-2 weeks with a dreaded upper body injury. Can the sport afford to have their best player out for any significant time?

(54:18) The NBA tips off their season tomorrow night. I'll go through some over/under win totals and will clue you in on a surprise or two as I'll choose my six prior to my NBA preview set for tomorrow afternoon.

Road Warrior Astros Get Back In Series. Phillies On Mission To Win NL Again. Dolphins-Eagles Headline Rough Week 7. Penn St. Big Opportunity To Move Up In Ranks. Spurs Wembanyama Hype Overboard?

Another big sports weekend awaits. You know I've got you covered as I'll detail all of the latest and greatest throughout the landscape. On deck:

(2:30) Both League Championship Series in baseball are in the middle games as we look to see who'll face off in the Fall Classic. The Houston Astros have gotten off the mat in the ALCS and drew a game closer, thanks to the ineffective mercenary Max Scherzer. Can the defending world champs push this series back to Houston and possibly take a 3-2 lead? As for the NLCS, it looks like the Phillies are on a mission to repeat as NL champs, up 2-0. Will the Diamondbacks make this a series as the scene shifts to Arizona? I also have some thoughts on how this has been a postseason to forget at this point, the Marlins major screw up as former GM Kim Ng departs and what got into former MLB and now retired pitcher, Trevor May as he had some choice words for Oakland A's owner, John Fisher?

(23:07) NFL Week 7 has a huge Sunday night game(i.e. Miami at Philadelphia) and not much else. Does this game mean more for the Dolphins? Eagles? You do have the Lions going to Baltimore to play the Ravens. After that, it's a rough go on Sunday. I can't help but rail against how this season has been underwhelming due to several factors. Plus, my issue with the schedule and how the product is being worn thin that you'll have to tune in and hear for yourself.

(32:59) College football's Week 8 schedule has a couple of intriguing matchups, headlined by Penn St at Ohio State. I'll get into how this is a huge game for the Nittany Lions if they want to rank with the Buckeyes or Michigan Wolverines in a weak Big 10 conference.

(36:33) The NBA season is just five days away and the hype surrounding Spurs #1 pick, Victor Wembanyama has gone overboard. Now we have to watch highlights of him making passes to other players who are missing shots in a PRESEASON GAME?! You know I have quite a bit to say about this as we get ready to watch his rookie year unfold.

(42:42) On the ice, the NHL has been quiet since we last met on Monday. I'll briefly touch on Blackhawks #1 pick, Connor Bedard and the start of his first week plus in the league. Also, which teams have gotten off to a good start and who hasn't?

Vacation Recap To Paris/Rome. MLB's 100 Win Playoff Disappointments. AL/NLCS Preview. SF/PHI Fall From Undefeated In Awful Week 6. Huskies In College Football Playoff Mix? NHL & NBA News

Your favorite little sports podcast host is back on the scene after a week layoff. I'm excited to present my viewpoint on all of the latest happenings in sports. On deck:

(2:47) As the podcast took a respite last week, I'll get into my quick sojourn visiting the charm of Paris and the rich history of Rome. The most perfect weather a vacation could ever have, the sights, landmarks, etc. as I enjoyed seven days outside of the States.

(5:21) We're onto the American League & National League Championship Series as we're closer to the Fall Classic in baseball. I'll take a big picture view at first to discuss is it the layoff or schedule that's affected the 100 win teams (i.e. Orioles, Dodgers & Braves) as they had early exits in the Division Series? I'll talk about Game 1 in the ALCS as the Rangers draw first blood vs. the Astros. Can Houston rebound at home where they've been subpar all year? Then I'll breakdown the NLCS between Diamondbacks vs. Phillies. Are the D-backs game to pull off another upset? Or are the Fightin' Phils destined to get back to the World Series? In other news, history could possibly be made in San Francisco as they've interviewed Alyssa Nakken, who is on the Giants coaching staff, to be the manager in what would be a first in North American sports.

(29:23) The last two undefeated teams in the NFL (i.e. 49ers & Eagles) were upended over the course of a three hour time span. San Francisco loses at Cleveland behind QB Brock Purdy's worst performance as a pro. Later, the Jet defense rose to the occasion forcing the Eagles into four turnovers in an upset 20-14 win. I'll share my disdain for the NFL pondering a Super Bowl to be played in London somewhere in the distant future. One that I'm not in favor of, so you won't want to miss that. Week 6 was a lame one, if you ask me as this season hasn't been compelling or riveting, to say the least.

(45:53) Don't look now, but there's a team in the PAC-12 that making waves toward the top of the rankings in the nation as the Washington Huskies won a wild game vs. Oregon on Saturday. Are they college football final four material? I'll delve into the landscape of the sport as they're at the halfway point of the season, with teams jockeying for position to see if they'll be a part of the playoff mix come New Year's Eve.

(50:54) Hockey fans, the NHL season has arrived. For my over/under point totals, please check the YouTube channel linked below. Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews has gotten off to a torrid start as he's done something only four other players have ever achieved in the history of the sport.

(53:29) The Association (aka NBA) tips off a week from tomorrow. James Harden is still in Philadelphia. Please wake me up if he's been traded to another team before the season begins because I can't hack this soap opera anymore. Plus, the Celtics hire a former coach and analyst (Jeff Van Gundy) to become a consultant and the Bucks look midseason ready with the dynamic duo of Dame & Giannis, drawing rave reviews by the team and throughout the league.

Yankees Pivotal Game 2 A Must? Can SD Win Two In Philly As AL & NLCS Is Underway. Top Teams On Byes Lead To Weak NFL Week 7. Pelicans Show Out, Suns Show Up & Celtics New Coach Highlight NBA

The little engine that could keeps on steaming down the track as your little podcast host continues to pump out the passion, fire, energy and fury on all that's happening in the sports world. On deck:

(3:28) We're into the Championship Series in the MLB where the Astros drew first blood in Game 1 against the Yankees. How imperative is it for the Bombers to win Game 2 if they have any chance to punch their ticket to the World Series? Also, the Padres get even as the scene shifts to Philadelphia over the weekend where the series is tied at 1-1. I'll look into my crystal ball to see what could possibly happen over the next three days as we await to see who'll come out of each league and represent in the Fall Classic?

(20:57) NFL Week 7 is looking pretty light, as evidenced by three of the top teams in the league to date (Buffalo, Minnesota and Philadelphia) all on byes this week. I'll take a look at what's on the football table to see if there is anything appetizing in prime time, at 1:00pm or 4:25pm as we inch closer to the halfway point of the season.

(26:17) The same can be said for Week 8 in college football as there isn't much to write home about (does Syracuse-Clemson tickle your fancy?) I'll go over what may be worth watching and what isn't?

(29:17) The NBA fan can rejoice as the season is underway. I'll get into a couple of storylines of the first two nights (LeBron lashing out some truths at his teammates in a loss against Golden State, Zion & the Pelicans handle the Nets, Phoenix exacting some revenge against Dallas) and how the Celtics interim coach, Joe Mazzulla will navigate a team that went to the Finals last year, how he'll fare this year and when the true test will be for the first time head coach?

(40:21) I can't forget the hockey fan as the NHL is now nine days into their campaign. I'll take a trip around the ice to see what has transpired over the first three or four games and a surprise last place team that no one was coming.

Another Winter I Can Sleep In Peace (RIP 2019 Yankees), Nats-Astros WS Preview. NFL Week 7, Tua's Ankle, NBA '19-20 Preview & Storylines

Back after a week off, there’s a plethora of sports chatter to get into as I present (Episode 95) to you all. On deck is the following:

The Yankees fell short of reaching the World Series, not only this year, but the entire decade for the first time in over 100 years. I promise to not throw a lot of dirt on their 2019 grave, but there are a few bullet points to get to regarding this series vs. Houston and their outlook for 2020. Including a thought about a trade chip on their squad that could bring back a top of the rotation pitcher.

I’ll preview the World Series between Washington vs. Houston with my bold prediction. I’ll also chime in on the latest rumors regarding the Mets managerial position which you’ll get a kick out of.

NFL Week 7 was rather ehhh, to be quite honest, but I’ll share my thoughts on some of the top stories of the weekend throughout the league.

Tua Tagovailoa’s ankle injury and surgery was the biggest news coming out of college football this weekend. Will that affect their national title hopes?

The NBA season is about to get underway. I’ll get into the top storylines heading into this campaign, over/under win totals, NBA Finals predictions, as we get ready to usher in another year for the Association.

Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Jets/Giants/NFL Week 6, 2018 NY Yankees (RIP)/MLB Playoffs, College Football, NHL

The ides of October is delivering some thrilling sports action as I break it all down for you on the latest episode of The JAYREELZ Podcast. The Jets and Sam Darnold continue to impress as they’ve made it to .500 on the season with a win over Indianapolis. Meanwhile on the other side of the building, the hopes for this Giants season has gone down the drain as they suffer their fifth loss in six games at the hands of the Eagles. Hear my takes on both teams, as well as, recapping all that went down in Week 6 of the NFL, including the Steelers last second win in Cincinnati, the Jaguars D rocked in Dallas and the only remaining undefeated team in the league. The Yankees say goodbye to the 2018 season as they lose in four games to the Red Sox. What will it take for the Yanks to get over the hump? What changes can they expect? Will they focus on a starting pitcher? Or the rumors of Manny Machado will start to echo throughout baseball? Lots of answers that I’ll try to unpack, plus my thoughts on the AL & NLCS to date. I’ll also recap a topsy-turvy Week 7 in college football. A word on the first couple of weeks in the NHL. What about the NBA? Some news about the next podcast that has to do with the Association and much more, on this weeks edition of The JAYREELZ Podcast. (Episode 34)
