Turning the calendar to April as the best sports month of the year arrives. I’ll have it all covered as Episode 188 is firing on all cylinders. On deck:
(5:25) Highlighting the instant classic between UCLA vs. Gonzaga in the semifinals. What this victory means as they set their sights on an undefeated season against the second ranked team in the nation? With a win, are Gonzaga considered an all-time great team? As great as this game was, it actually could’ve been just a touch better. I’ll explain.
(31:31) The NBA has a couple of developing playoff stories to keep an eye on. In the East, how the 4-8 seeds (in particular, 4-6) are imperative for avoiding Brooklyn or Philadelphia in the first round? Out West, why the Lakers positioned in the 4-5 or 6 seed means trouble for the Nuggets or Clippers? Also, the one thing that almost stopped the Jazz on their magical regular season to date?
(45:51) Some storylines to highlight the first weekend of the MLB season, including the move by the league to remove the All-Star Game in Atlanta come July? Was it the right move? What about The Masters and the Atlanta Hawks? Will we see something similar in the days to come? Of course, I have a thought on the extension of Mets SS Francisco Lindor as he’s signed on the dotted line for the next ten years at $341 million dollars!
(59:30) The Vancouver Canucks are now dealing with the fallout of COVID, north of the border for the first time this season. Will they regroup to make a push to the final seed in the Western Division? I’ll also discuss the hotly contested Central and Eastern Divisions as the competition is stiff as to who’ll come out on top once the playoffs begin.
(1:07:51) Why all of the hype and oversaturated news coming out of these pro days as the NFL is three and a half weeks away from the Draft? I’ll assess this nonsense and why are fans caught up in this? And the WFT (Washington Football Team) will keep their current title for the team? REALLY?
(1:14:43) The tradition unlike any other is back. The Masters starts on Thursday. I’ll have a preview and prediction as to who’ll win. Plus, Brooks Koepka may make the first tee after knee surgery just a few weeks ago?
(1:20:25) Not to mention, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
