Let the Madness begin! Not just in college basketball, but other things happening in sports that has me crazy at the moment. On deck:
(2:53) I'm in a foul sports mood, so I'm on edge with a couple of scenarios that have come about in the last two days.
(3:38) The Sports Dead Zone, Part 1 has now concluded as we raise the curtain on the NCAA Tournament as we get set for a frantic four days leading into the Sweet Sixteen. I'll predict who'll make it to the Final Four. Which teams will play for the National Championship? And who'll cut down the nets when it's all said and done?
(20:46) As the lowly Houston Rockets have had some surprising wins this week over the Celtics and Lakers, the big story is the eight game suspension handed down by the NBA to Grizzlies guard, Ja Morant. Why this was a weak attempt at sending a message throughout the league as this was a retroactive suspension at best. I'll take a look at what's going on throughout the Association when it comes to teams jockeying for playoff positioning.
(26:41) On the ice, the NHL has been quiet for the most part. The Hurricanes lose a key player who is done for the year (Andrei Svechnikov) as I'll update the latest in the division and wild card races in both conferences.
(32:13) The business year for the NFL has opened. There's been plenty of player movement over the past week. I'll highlight the Aaron Rodgers saga, him wanting to come to New York, the 'demands' if he became a Jet and not if, but when, will this deal take place? Jimmy Garoppolo has found a new home in Las Vegas with his former offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels. I thought this was a good move for the Raiders, but it comes with a huge caveat. I'll run through some of the hot topics ranging from Ezekiel Elliott, Baker Mayfield, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Lamar Jackson's latest development regarding his contract. Quite a bit to digest as The Shield continues make waves in the sports world as their off-season is just getting started. I was remiss not to mention on the previous podcast that former Vikings coach Bud Grant passed away last week at the age of 95.
(47:38) As I close out with baseball, both New York teams are front and center. Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has become BFF's with reigning MVP Aaron Judge, to the point that his star player has input on renovation to the teams spring training complex. Are you kidding? Then you have Mets closer Edwin Diaz after putting out the fire vs. the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, injures his leg while CELEBRATING Puerto Rico's win to advance. Who knows the extent of his injury, but it sure doesn't look good as Met fans everywhere, including yours truly, are surely sick over this.

Back at it to close out a week with some intriguing storylines and unapologetic takes with all that the sports world has to offer. On deck:
(3:06) As Conference Championship Week in college basketball to date hasn't given us a big upset or teams that are on the bubble in danger of making the tournament, the sport has said goodbye to longtime Syracuse coach, Jim Boeheim as he walks off into the sunset after 47 years on the Orange bench. I'll take a look back on his stellar career. Is he considered an all-time great? The coaching future of Patrick Ewing at Georgetown will be a story in the coming days. Will there be a parting of the ways after two dreadful seasons in DC?
(19:27) Suns forward Kevin Durant suffered an ankle injury during warm-ups last night. He'll have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. What does this mean for their title hopes? Luka Doncic is nursing a left thigh issue as the Mavericks do their best to stay above the play-in tournament standings. I'll peruse through the rest of the Association as there's a month left in the regular season.
(27:14) It's rare for the NHL to have a regular season must watch, but tonight there is one with the best player in the sport (Oilers Connor McDavid) will face off against the best team (Boston Bruins) up in Beantown. I'll take a trip around the ice to bring you up to speed with all of the races unfolding in both conferences.
(33:21) Some quarterbacks are staying put in the NFL (i.e. Geno Smith with Seattle & Daniel Jones with the Giants) Then there's Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. Why the Ravens front office is half-stepping and not backing up what they've said this offseason about the former MVP? I'll get on my soapbox to delve into Amazon Prime streaming the Black Friday game this year. Why it's complete overkill for the league to broadcast these games on various channels and platforms and how I'm fed up over it!? As for consensus #1 pick in the draft, Jalen Carter to return to the combine following his arrest due to allegations of reckless driving killing a teammate and staff member. How did that come about?

Riding high into this first full week of March, I kick off the week with a jam packed, fast paced sports podcast for you to digest. On deck:
(2:52) Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant will be away from the team due to brandishing a gun on his Instagram story early Saturday morning. How will this affect the team that's had success in the regular season the last two years, but certainly haven't arrived as a team that's mature or not being able to take their game to the next level come playoff time. What about the coach, Taylor Jenkins? How does he handle this mini-crisis as they navigate through this tough stretch? The Bucks had a 16 game winning streak snapped on Saturday vs. the Sixers, but it was Giannis Antetokounmpo who looked like a fool rebounding his own shot to secure a triple double at Washington last night. I'll throw my two cents on that. The Suns are 3-0 with Kevin Durant in the lineup as they defeated the Mavericks yesterday. It got testy at the end of the game between Luka Doncic and Devin Booker. Is it possible that they face off in the postseason? Steph Curry has returned from injury with the Warriors. Can he push them higher in the Western Conference? Break up the Knicks as they've won nine straight as they put themselves in good position to avoid the play-in tournament. The Association is in the final 18-20 game stretch with about a month away from the season concluding.
(20:50) Conference Championship Week has arrived. One team that needs an enormous few days to get to the Tournament is the North Carolina TarHeels. Will they do some damage in the ACC Tournament? Will the committee let them in? Also, the #1 team in the nation avoided a scare as Houston won on a last second buzzer beater at Memphis. As we're a little more than a week away from the Madness beginning, which teams will be #1's in each of their brackets? March Madness is here. So get ready as college basketball will begin their takeover in sports starting tomorrow.
(27:23) I'm at a loss for words, people. The Boston Bruins seem to be front and center whenever I discuss the NHL. They're in the middle of a 10 game winning streak. They've gotten reinforcements at the trade deadline. It is Stanley Cup victory or bust for this organization. I'll explain why it would be not minor or major, but COLOSSAL if they fall short of that. Speaking of the trade deadline, you had some good moves, minor acquisitions but nothing earth shattering or what we saw the past few weeks. I'll go through both conferences, the latest wild card scenarios as we approach the final quarter of the regular season.
(37:56) There's been some rumblings about the possibility of the Oakland A's moving to Las Vegas. It may not take place for some time, but does yours truly approve of this, if and when it does happen? Anyone interested in the World Baseball Classic? I'll give a psuedo preview, but if it comes down to two teams in particular for the title, I will definitely tune in. You'll have to listen in order to see which matchup I'd love to see. Plus, Bryce Harper is in camp and pitcher Mike Clevinger won't be disciplined for alleged domestic and verbal abuse towards his family.
(48:26) Derek Carr has found a new home, down by the Bayou in New Orleans. How much of an improvement will he be in an underwhelming NFC South? Former Panthers owner, Jerry Richardson passed away at the age of 86. There were a few player cuts recently as the NFL will open the new year in about nine days so the free agent frenzy will begin at that time.
(52:58) Jon Jones is back in the UFC once again, wreaking havoc as he win the heavyweight crown defeating Cyril Gane in submission just two minutes into the first round. We know how much of a legend he is in the sport. He's back (as we saw), but is he here to stay? Or will he continue to fall into the patterns and behaviors that has derailed him from immortal status as of today?

A time to reflect as the podcast turned five years old yesterday. I'll have plenty to say as I wax poetic on this journey, a puppy and all that the sports world has to offer. On deck:
(3:01) Some housekeeping is in order as I send a thank you to all that have contributed to the podcast is some way, shape or form over the last five years. I take great pride in delivering a top notch, entertaining, informative and credible program on a week in, week out basis. It goes without saying how much I appreciate everyone's support as I look forward to what this year has in store.
(7:00) This one is a little off the beaten path, but I have to share this story of a recent addition to my life. One that involves a nine week old puppy. How this little cuteness of fur, wreaked havoc last night, barely getting a wink of sleep as she's recovering from a bout of giardia. I'm sure those who have a dog or puppy can relate.
(10:05) Let's get to the reason why you're here, some sports chatter. Kicking off is the NBA. The return of Kevin Durant. Not just to the Association, but his first game in a Suns uniform. They beat the Hornets in Charlotte last night, which begs the question? Are they destined to reach the NBA Finals? My answer to that is no. I'll explain why. Also, the Lakers are going to start an early spring vacation due to the latest injuries regarding both LeBron James & Anthony Davis. They're thisclose from making the play-in tournament, but my gut tells me they'll fall short. Which leads to LeBron's tenure in LA if they do not qualify for the play-in. A potential three years in five not making the postseason. If Jeanie Buss is smart, I better not see statues and number retirements of the great King James inside and outside of Crypto.com Arena. Steph Curry will possibly return next week as the Warriors will be on the road at that time. Can they turn it on in time to defend their title? There's another anniversary to celebrate as today makes 61 years since Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points vs. the Knicks. The Bucks cannot be stopped as they've won 16 in a row. Jayson Tatum got ejected for the first time in his career. How he needs to cool it when it comes to every call not going his way? Speaking of New York, they've been playing well as they're in the midst of winning seven in a row.
(24:30) March Madness is inching close, just two weeks away from it commencing. #2 Alabama had an enormous come from behind victory at home against Auburn. Is this the type of win that ignite the Crimson Tide to a deep tournament run? How about Kentucky? They finally crack the Top 25, only to lose at HOME to Vanderbilt. And a big loss for Tennessee as they lose Zakai Ziegler to a torn ACL injury.
(28:24) Tomorrow at 3pm, the NHL Trade Deadline will be a thing of the past. A huge, yet worst kept secret deal was former Blackhawk Patrick Kane going to the Rangers in a three team deal. Will he fare well and deliver a Stanley Cup to the organization for the first time in 29 years? There was quite a bit of wheeling and dealing the past few days. Columbus acquires long time Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick from LA. The Maple Leafs add grit, toughness and Cup experience by bringing back Luke Schenn to Toronto. Colorado added some depth by trading for Lars Eller in Washington. The Oilers are adding some defense by obtaining Mattias Ekholm from Nashville to see if they can take the next step to a Cup Final. So many transactions to wrap your head around as teams will do their best to increase their chances are making a run into the playoffs and beyond. And an update on the Rangers K'Andre Miller spitting at Kings Drew Doughty and the suspension that was handed down by the league.
(41:28) As for what's happening in the MLB, there were no umpires at the conclusion of the Orioles-Pirates exhibition game the other day. Why was the the case? Plus, the Dodgers suffer a key blow to their infield, losing Gavin Lux for the year after he tore his ACL.
(45:53) The NFL has a lot of their hands as to what an owner or GM will do with #1 draft prospect out of Georgia, Jalen Carter. He was charged for reckless driving and racing where a former teammate and a staff member were killed back in January. How will the league handle this? Also, what should the rules and competition committee do in order to stop the 'quarterback push' aka The Jalen Hurts Rule, in which two or three players will assist in pushing the QB past the first down marker or the goal line to score. What about the rumors surrounding Bengals WR Tee Higgins and more so, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson? If the Baltimore front office is pining for Jackson to stay, then they must put their money where their mouths are, despite him not winning when it really counts and staying healthy when it matters.

Another huge milestone is on the horizon for the podcast as I deliver the first of two this week to share my thoughts on the sports landscape as we close out February and introduce a new month just a few days away. On deck:
(3:07) Anniversary week has arrived! I'll briefly share a tidbit or two about another platform that will be critical to growth of the podcast.
(4:05) The NBA has come out of the All-Star Break firing as we had the second highest scoring game in league history (Kings 176-175 over the Clippers), the biggest comeback by a team this season (Lakers overcome a 27 point deficit to win in Dallas) and the oldest player to score 70 points (Damian Lillard scored 71) as I take a trip around the Association to discuss the log jam from seeds 4-13 in the West. The Beasts (Boston, Milwaukee & Philadelphia) at the top of the East! Atlanta has found their head coach after they let Nate McMillian go last week as former Jazz coach, Quin Snyder signs a five year deal.
(20:03) March Madness and Conference Championship Week is coming! Although it's been a little quiet over the past few days, you did have #7 Arizona lose a heartbreaker to their in-state rivals Arizona State on a 60 foot buzzer beater, as the only loser from the Top 10 this past week.
(22:17) The NHL Trade Deadline is on Friday. As special of a season that the Boston Bruins are having to date, they've acquired two reinforcements from Washington (Garnet Hathaway & Dmitry Orlov) to make this already epic regular season to be one of the all time great. The Devils have brought in goal scorer Timo Maier from San Jose as they continue to put pressure on the division leading Carolina Hurricanes. What about Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane? Will he make his way to Broadway with the Rangers? And former Islanders coach Barry Trotz goes back home to be a part of the front office for the Nashville Predators.
(34:07) It's taken just a couple of games for the umpires to enforce the new rules that MLB has implemented this past offseason. Manny Machado was the first player to get docked a strike as he took longer than eight seconds to settle in the batters box. Then there was a scenario where the same thing happened in a game between the Red Sox and Braves. What looked like a walk off bases loaded walk was turned into a strikeout leading to a tie as this took place in the bottom of the 9th. The big question is, will the umpires be strict in cracking down on this once the regular season begins? Speaking of Machado, he didn't even make it to the offseason where he stated he would opt-out of his current contract and signed an 11 year, $350 million dollar deal. How have the Padres, known for being a small market team, become one of the big boys on the block? Why the other owners are seething at what they're doing?
(47:16) Aaron Rodgers has officially left the darkness retreat out in Oregon. Why should we care about this bit of news? Same for Russell Wilson allegedly wanting his former coach and GM (Pete Carroll & John Schneider) in Seattle fired. Seriously? A year later we should get wrapped up in this?

It may be a holiday today, but there are no days off when it comes to talking sports. You're in the right place to get your fill on passionate, energetic and opinionated sports talk as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:
(3:15) After a brief mention of another anniversary/milestone for the podcast come next week, the NBA just completed its All-Star Weekend, we can look ahead to the 'second half' and what to expect. I forecast it simply this way. The West is a bit more wide open. We're uncertain about the Nuggets, Grizzlies and Kings proving themselves in a big spot. Whereas the Suns, Clippers and possibly the Warriors could make that push to threaten those at the top of the conference. Then there are the Lakers on the outside looking in at the moment. LeBron James has stressed that these are the "most important games in the regular season" of his career. Is that a stretch? As for the East, it's the Celtics, Bucks, maybe the Sixers and everyone else. We'll have to wait a few more days for the season to resume, but the rigors of the Association will march on as we monitor how this'll unfold until we get to mid-April.
(25:08) As for what's happening in college basketball, there have been a couple of losses with top 10 teams (i.e. Tennessee and Purdue). #5 Kansas exacts revenge on #9 Baylor with a win at Allen Fieldhouse. This topsy-turvy, unpredictable college year will be the theme, I think, over the next seven weeks, as it's going to be wild and crazy as we get closer to the Madness in March.
(28:29) On the ice, the Maple Leafs have made a substantial trade to put them in position, as per GM Kyle Dubas stated, to get to a Stanley Cup. Is that too much pressure to put on a team that hasn't gotten out of the first round of the playoffs in over 20 years? And won a Cup in 56 years? Let's see if Ryan O'Reilly could be the guy to lead them to a promised land. I'll touch on the outdoor game in Carolina where the Hurricanes beat the Capitals, minus Alex Ovechkin. The Rangers keeping pace in the division, despite having their seven game winning streak snapped in Calgary. I can't forget the Pacific Division as it's a three team race (i.e. Golden Knights, Kings and Kraken) for first place as those teams are separated by two points at the moment.
(38:27) Former Chiefs offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy leaves the shadow of Andy Reid to take the same position in Washington with the Commanders. Why I feel this is not a good move, but a GREAT one for him and his future. Although he's not bringing Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce with him. Is anyone interested in the XFL? I didn't watch a second over the weekend as they've re-opened for business after bottoming out after COVID in 2020. Will it gain any traction at all?
(44:04) I remember the life of former MLB catcher and legendary broadcaster, Tim McCarver, who passed away last week at the age of 81. Padres 3B Manny Machado has come into spring training declaring that he will opt-out of his current contract at the end of 2023. Is he taking a page out of Aaron Judge's stance from last year? Was this presumptuous on his part? You'll be surprised of my take as position players start to trickle in to training camp.
(49:59) Tiger Woods made his return to golf for the first time in seven months. It came with mixed reviews as he made the cut, performed well on Thursday and Saturday, but Friday and Sunday wasn't as favorable for him. The bigger story was Jon Rahm, who became the #1 player in the world with his win over Max Homa at the Genesis Invitational out in Los Angeles.
(52:51) To conclude, the Super Bowl of Racing took place yesterday as the Daytona 500 ended in historic fashion. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was your winner for the first time as it took double overtime, 212 laps and 530 miles in the longest race ever of the 65th edition down in Florida.

A Super way to start off your week as I'll recap the big game and all that's happening in sports as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:
(3:06) It was an entertaining and great game overall, but not a classic in my eyes as the Kansas City Chiefs were able to come from behind and outlast the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. I'll have a complete breakdown of everything that took place, the controversial hold at the end of the game, the performance of Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs offensive line, the vaunted pass rush of the Eagles (or lack thereof), as well as, my critique of waiting forever to start the game, Rihanna's halftime show, the FOX broadcast booth, another year of awful commercials as we put to bed another NFL season and turn our attention to the fall and winter sports.
(32:14) First up, being the NBA. Mavericks star Luka Doncic is liking the early returns of having Kyrie Irving on his team. Could this pairing be primed for another deep postseason run? The top two teams in the East faceoff in Milwaukee tomorrow where the Celtics-Bucks will square off as we approach the All-Star Break.
(34:42) On the ice, the Rangers have some juice as their acquisition of former Blues winger Vladimir Tarasenko has paid early dividends as they've won five in a row. Why this could be a big trade for the Blueshirts to put them over the top? The Golden Knights have leapfrogged over the Kraken out West as they're without their leading scorer (i.e. Andre Burakovsky).
(38:58) Purdue loses for the second straight Sunday, this time to Northwestern. Will they be knocked off from the #1 ranking in the nation this time around? Before you know it, March Madness will be here as it begins one month from tomorrow!
(40:38) It's that time, baseball fans. Pitchers and catchers will report before weeks' end in the MLB. I'll briefly discuss the World Baseball Classic (WBC) as it's on the horizon next month. Plus, the Padres re-up Yu Darvish on a six year extension to keep him in San Diego for the rest of his career.
(44:21) Now that the NFL season is done, we've officially entered The Sports Dead Zone, Part 1. Not to worry, I'll explain in full detail.

It's going to be a SUPER podcast as the NFL will crown a champion, a new all time scoring leader in the NBA and a gigantic trade that could shift the balance in the Western Conference, you know I'll have plenty to dissect and disseminate as I close out the week on a strong note. On deck:
(2:45) Super Bowl LVII is just about here. I'll take the temperature of all the hype and preparation leading up to kickoff between the Chiefs and Eagles, the key points for both teams, a prediction of who'll win as we say goodbye to another NFL season. I'll get into the newly minted Hall of Fame Class of 2023 as Darrelle Revis, Joe Thomas, Ronde Barber, Demarcus Ware, Zach Thomas among others, represent a strong defensive contingent that will be enshrined in Canton later this year. Who was worthy of making the Hall? You know I've got lots to say about this. Also, the retirement of Bengals & Cardinals receiver AJ Green and Tom Brady will wait a year to join FOX as his megadeal will begin in 2024.
(35:54) LeBron James made history on Tuesday night as he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time scoring leader in the NBA. Has he had the most complete career of anyone in league history? Then you had another blockbuster deal in Brooklyn right before yesterday's trade deadline. Kyrie Irving was shipped to Dallas earlier this week, then Kevin Durant was packaged with TJ Warren to Phoenix for a boatload of #1 picks, Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges and Jae Crowder. Why I'm disappointed in KD's decision, how NBA player empowerment strikes again and what his legacy could look like moving forward is something that I haven't heard anywhere else! As for Kyrie, how his comments of being disrespected by the Nets, being a selfless leader and leaving his former team in fourth place? His delusions of grandeur isn't fooling this guy! As for the Net organization (particularly the owner, Joe Tsai) my theory of a brilliant businessman doesn't mean he can lead a professional basketball team. I'll get into some of the other trades that took place (D'Angelo Russell & Mo Bamba to the Lakers, Russell Westbrook to Utah, Eric Gordon to the Clippers, James Wiseman to Detroit, et. al.) as the All-Star Break is just a week away.
(58:03) As for what's happening on the ice, the Rangers procure a former Stanley Cup winning goal scorer from St. Louis in Vladimir Tarasenko adds more punch on their frontline and championship experience in the locker room. There's been some key injuries to star players (i.e. Cale Makar, Jack Hughes and Andre Burakovsky) as they do their best to get back on the mend for the stretch run in a long regular season.

February is in full swing. Although the sports world is a little light at the moment, I have some interesting nuggets to provoke some thought as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:
(2:48) After a brief explanation of how I'm a little (sports) cranky this morning, Super Bowl week has arrived. There isn't much to discuss at the moment. PROGRAMMING NOTE: I'll delve into my preview of the game with analysis and a prediction on Friday's podcast as I'll postpone it by a day. The few takes I'll have on the NFL are the following: how the league needs a good to great game to punctuate a rather lackluster season. The scenario regarding concussions in the sport as they went up 18% compared to last year. And the Pro Bowl? The Pro Bowl! How I did not spend one nanosecond watching this flag football exhibition as I hope you did the same!
(13:09) The Kyrie Irving tenure/saga is now officially over. He requested a trade last Friday since the organization wasn't going to re-sign him to a long term extension. The Brooklyn Nets ship him and another player to Dallas for a couple of players and three draft picks. Did the front office do the right thing? How will this chapter of Nets history be remembered? What does Kyrie's future look like in Dallas? Or elsewhere? What about Kevin Durant? What do you think he's feeling after hitching his wagon to Brooklyn with Kyrie? As for what's happened on the court, we've had a couple of incidents that's reminiscent of WWE? Thursday night, Cavaliers Donovan Mitchell gets into it with Grizzlies Dillon Brooks (NBA's Public Enemy #1 at the moment) as the latter was suspended for a game. A night later, Magic's Mo Bamba and Timberwolves Austin Rivers got into a scrum to where they were both suspended (four games for Bamba, three for Rivers) for their actions. Steph Curry will be on the shelf until at least after the All-Star Break. He suffered partial tears to ligaments in his knee on Saturday night vs. the Mavericks. Even with this injury, I think the Warriors are toast this year.
(34:20) The All-Star Break in the NHL has come and gone. I'll share why I did not watch or get into this version of the game in South Florida. I'll explain a couple of reasons why viewership is down more than 20%, even WITH games being broadcast on ESPN/ABC & TNT. I'll preview the 'second half' as the East is top heavy at the moment (i.e. Bruins & Hurricanes) while out West it's as wide open as we've seen in some time. Plus, the Islanders not only get the goal scorer they desperately need (i.e. Bo Horvat) but they've signed him to a long term deal. Is there a lot of pressure for the new acquisition to not only succeed, but to fulfill his large contract?
(50:40) Purdue is the latest team in the nation to get bounced from the ranks of being #1 as this unpredictable, topsy-turvy college basketball season (which is one I'd rather have, than to have the usual North Carolina, Duke and Kentucky ruling the top of the sport) continues to surprise us, day in and day out.

A new month delivers a new podcast with quite a bit to sink our teeth into when it comes to sports. On deck:
(2:43) The time has finally come! Legendary quarterback Tom Brady has announced his retirement first ballot Hall of Famer and also make a comparison to another giant in his sport (i.e. LeBron James) as to the impact they've had on the sports landscape over the first quarter of the 21st century. I'll get into the new head coaches in Houston (i.e. DeMeco Ryans) and Denver (i.e. Sean Payton) Is there any hope that Russell Wilson will turn his career around with the former Super Bowl winning head coach? A new offensive coordinator in LA with the Chargers (i.e. Kellen Moore) The diagnosis of 49ers QB, Brock Purdy's right elbow and how it affects their 2023 season.
(27:28) Mavericks guard, Luka Doncic returns with a 53 point game after spraining his ankle the week before in Phoenix. The West looks like it's going to be a battle royale from the fifth seed down as eight teams are separated by 3.5 games. While the East is top heavy with teams like Boston, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Brooklyn leading the pack.
(31:17) March Madness in college basketball is six weeks from today. The question I've been keeping you all in suspense over the past week. Do you like the way this season is unfolding to where it's wide open for a tournament winner? Or would you rather have the North Carolina's , Duke's & Kentucky teams always patrolling to the top of the rankings and have just a handful of teams be the favorite to win it all? I'll belatedly discuss the passing of former analyst, Billy Packer, who died of kidney failure last week.
(41:27) As the NHL hits the All-Star Break down in South Florida, the Islanders made a big move a month before the trade deadline, acquiring Canucks forward Bo Horvat. Could this be the shot in the arm that they need to get back to the postseason? Will they be able to re-sign him? The sport has lost another all-time great as Bobby Hull passed away on Monday at the age of 84. I'll review what took place over the 'first half' of the season to date, the biggest surprise and disappointment so far and will set you up for a 'second half' preview once the weekend is complete.

The end of January may be near, but another fiery, passion filled podcast is even closer as I bring the fury and energy on all that's happening in sports. On deck:
(2:42) Super Bowl LVII is set. The Eagles and Chiefs are the last two teams standing as the NFC Championship Game was a big letdown due to the injury of 49ers quarterback, Brock Purdy. In the AFC, it was a fight to the finish as it boiled down to the guts of Chiefs QB, Patrick Mahomes and a personal foul that set up the game winning field goal for Kansas City as they get back to their third Super Bowl in four years. I'll have complete analysis of both games, some early storylines for the big game in two weeks, plus some off the field news involving Aaron Rodgers (a rant that you definitely won't want to miss), former Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett (now Jets offensive coordinator, another rant, I might add) and Frank Reich is your new coach in Carolina where the previous coach, Steve Wilks, got a raw deal.
(37:13) It was another down to the wire Lakers-Celtics contest, Saturday night in Boston. It was quite obvious that LeBron James was fouled in the final seconds of regulation in a tie game, but the officials missed a call prior to the controversial non call that no one discussed. As the game went into overtime, what was coach Darvin Ham thinking by some of the moves he made and the effort of his team as they eventually fell to the Celtics? With the Lakers coming to New York the early part of this week, why is it that LeBron AND Anthony Davis are sitting out before they play the Nets tonight? Load management, anyone? (You guessed it, another rant!) The recent ankle injury to Mavericks guard, Luka Doncic. I'll get into the log jam out West from seeds 4-13. And the Sixers are emerging as a threat to the Celtics in the East behind MVP candidate, Joel Embiid as we're a couple of weeks away from the All-Star Break.
(48:10 ) Just as I was praising the Boston Bruins and their regular season record setting pace on Thursday's podcast, they're in the middle of a three game losing streak. They lost last night to the Carolina Hurricanes, who are playing well. Do the Canes have what it takes to threaten the Bruins and the rest of the East?
(51:02) Novak Djokovic wins his tenth Australian Open and his 22nd Grand Slam overall, tying Rafael Nadal for first all time. With the next major not until May at the French Open, which by the way, is Nadal's favorite surface, will the two greats be on a collision course for title #23? Also, is Novak Djokovic the greatest men's player of all time? Aryna Sabalenka wins her first major on the women's side, defeating Elena Rybakina as the first Grand Slam of the year comes to a conclusion.
(55:35) Two weeks from tomorrow, pitchers and catchers will report in MLB. There are a couple of things to bring up off the field. Angels owner, Arte Moreno needs to put his money where his mouth is as he's not going to sell the team and do his best to bring a World Series back to Anaheim. If that's the case, he MUST sign former MVP, Shohei Ohtani to a long term deal. The latest with White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger as he's being investigated for domestic and child abuse. And Jeff McNeil signs an extension with the Mets as their payroll continues to balloon.

Another feisty, passionate hour of sports talk delivered to your favorite device as I survey the entire sports landscape. On deck:
(3:10) After a brief mention of Scott Rolen being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, which I'll go IN on at the back end of the podcast, the NFL has its final Sunday (I don't count the Super Bowl) as Championship Sunday draws near with both the AFC & NFC Title Games for the right to go to Glendale, AZ to play in Super Bowl LVII. Will the clock strike twelve on Brock Purdy? Will Jalen Hurts continue his dream MVP season against the best defense in football? Have the Bengals peaked after last weeks dominating performance vs. Buffalo? And the health of Patrick Mahomes's right ankle are the biggest storylines heading into these critical contests. I'll have predictions, what I think is the best Super Bowl matchup as I prepare you for what should be a compelling and riveting pair of Championship Games.
(30:21) It's time to start the LeBron Watch as he's just 158 points away from becoming the NBA's All-Time Leading Scorer, that has been held for decades by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. When may he break it? Anthony Davis is back in the lineup for LA as he chips in 21 points and 12 rebounds in a win before they make their way East. Sadly, today I'll reflect on the three year anniversary of the tragic passing of Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, and the impact he's had on me since his death. I'll take a peek at the Ben Simmons-Joel Embiid battle in Philadelphia last night. And the Pelicans have been slipping out West, with no sight of Zion Williamson coming to save them in the near future.
(41:24) Is there any team in the NHL that can slow down the juggernaut that is the Boston Bruins this year? There are on a pace to have the most wins and points in regular season history. Is it Stanley Cup Champions or bust for the B's?
(46:59) Purdue is back to being #1 in the nation when it comes to college basketball. Break up the Georgetown Hoyas as they snapped their 29 game losing streak in the Big East. But I have a question that I'll bring up in next Thursday's podcast that'll be sure to get the biggest college hoops fan thinking on how this season could play out.
(48:05) The Australian Open is into the homestretch as Novak Djokovic is looking like the clear cut champion on the men's side (and what that may do for the French Open if he faces Rafael Nadal) On the woman's side, Victoria Azarenka may be the favorite heading into the final which will conclude the first Grand Slam of the year over the weekend. I'll have a complete recap of it all on Monday's pod.
(49:59) Scott Rolen has been voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers. What did these writers watch? I'll have a FULL deep dive on why she should NOT have been elected into Cooperstown?

Your favorite little podcast host is back on the scene with another action packed, rapid fire, passionate filled hour of sports talk surveying the entire market for your one stop shopping needs. On deck:
(2:49) We're now down to the final four in the NFL. The Divisional Round left us wanting a little bit more considering the anticipation of the best weekend the league has to offer. Was there any doubt that Kansas City was going to win vs. Jacksonville, even with Patrick Mahomes compromised with a high ankle sprain? Speaking of doubts, so much for Jalen Hurts playing tentative wondering if he would respond in a big way after playing in one game over the last five weeks. The Bengals put a hurting on the Buffalo Bills in their backyard as they embarrassed the AFC East Champions. And the 49ers won a hard fought, defensive battle in a not so impressive low scoring affair. I'll also delve into the outlook for the losing teams and their future (Jaguars looks bright. Giants, the same? Bills licking their wounds as they have to wait another year. Is Dak Prescott the guy to lead the Cowboys to the promised land?) I'll take a peek into Conference Championship Sunday as we're literally three games until the conclusion of another season.
(39:13) In the NBA, the Grizzlies were riding an 11 game winning streak into LA vs. the Lakers last Friday night. The big story was NFL Hall of Famer, Shannon Sharpe getting under the Grizzlies players skin as there was a confrontation right before the half courtside as Memphis ending up losing. Was Sharpe out of line? Should the Grizzlies not have gotten involved? The Celtics lose two key pieces to their team as both Marcus Smart and Robert Williams suffer injuries as their winning streak hits nine on Saturday. Anthony Davis is set to return to the Lakers this week as he's been nursing a foot ailment. What will that do to a Laker team that's looking to get back to .500 with an East Coast trip looming?
(45:44) The top two teams in the nation were upset at home over the weekend. TCU storms into #2 Kansas and destroys the Jayhawks handing coach, Bill Self, his second worst losss at home. And #1 Houston was shocked by Temple as the Owls eked out a win as this wild and unpredictable college basketball season continues to not disappoint.
(49:28) There's a new sheriff in Vancouver as Bruce Boudreau was fired and replaced by former Lightning & Coyote coach, Rick Tocchet. The Hurricanes will not have Max Pacioretty in the lineup as he'll be out with a torn Achilles. What does this do for a team that needs goal scoring? Speaking of which, Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon is back as his squad is on a five game win streak, looking to get back in the playoff mix out West.
(53:49) Pitchers and catchers will report throughout MLB in, count 'em, three weeks. A big trade was made between the Marlins and Twins where pitcher Pablo Lopez goes to Minnesota and INF Luis Arraez, the reigning AL batting champ goes to South Florida. Plus, a couple of other signings involving a return home for Andrew McCutchen in Pittsburgh and Aroldis Chapman (Royals). Some sad news came down over the weekend as Sal Bando, the former A's 3B of their early 70's dynasty, dies of cancer at the age of 78.
(58:50) Three top seeds were ousted at the Australian Open as we head into the second week. On the men's side, #2 Casper Ruud was bounced in four sets, while on the women's side both #1 Iga Swiatek and #2 Ons Jabeur were taken care of pretty handily. The women's side is more intriguing, in my opinion, whereas Novak Djokovic is your clear cut winner to come out as champion later this week.

A rather quiet week in sports isn't going to stop yours truly as another fast paced, action packed sports podcast is coming at ya. On deck:
(2:43) The NFL Divisional Playoff weekend is almost here. I have a couple of interesting storylines with the #1 seeds in each conference being re-introduced to our consciousness (i.e. The physical condition and psyche of Eagles QB, Jalen Hurts. And the Chiefs been there, done that mentality of the road going through them in the conference. Plus, Andy Reid's penchant for poor clock management in big games) with complete breakdowns of all four matchups, predictions and what would be the best case scenario in the AFC & NFC Title Games for CBS & FOX as we inch closer to crowning a champion in Glendale, AZ next month.
(35:09) An NBA Finals rematch takes place tonight as the Celtics are in the middle of a seven game winning streak, while the Warriors are still trying to find their way out West. The hottest team in the sport are the Memphis Grizzlies as they've won 11 in a row, not gaining much ground on a Nuggets team that has won eight straight at the top of the conference. I'll share the latest on the court throughout the Association as most teams are closing in on the 50 games played mark.
(40:56) It's good to see Oilers forward, Evander Kane back from a serious wrist injury as he took a skate blade over it back in November. He was to be out of the lineup for three to four months, but returned a little over two months. I'll get into what's happening on the ice as the Devils are starting to heat up. The Bruins continue to sizzle as the best team in the sport. At this pace, it's Stanley Cup Champs or bust for the B's.
(45:27) We're just two months away from March Madness. I'll review what's going on in college basketball as there have been some big surprises to date, from teams we'd never expect to be in the Top 25.
(50:53) It's been a ho-hum Australian Open so far. Notwithstanding, Rafael Nadal becoming the first major player to be ousted from the tournament in straight sets to Mackenzie McDonald. Is this the beginning of the end for the all-time great?

A somber, yet busy sports week leads into another entertaining and jam packed podcast. On deck:
(2:51) The NFL and sports world was shaken by the incident in Cincinnati on Monday night as Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed to the turf as he went into cardiac arrest. His recovery has shown improvement, but there's still a way to go as far as him being 100% healthy. Which leads to the intrigue of the upcoming schedule. When will they replay the Bills-Bengals game? How this affects the AFC playoff picture? Most of all, what does the upcoming postseason schedule look like? I'll look into my crystal ball to tell you what I think the NFL will do and what the NFL should do? It's an interesting debate as we find some closure on the regular season, while preparing for the road to the Super Bowl.
(28:02) The NBA had some big time scoring outputs this week with a couple of career highs for Giannis Antetekounmpo (55 points) and Donovan Mitchell (71 points. The most since the late, great Kobe Bryant's 81 back in 2006.) The Celtics gave up how many points to the Oklahoma City Thunder without their best player in the lineup? A player that'll be out of the lineup for a few weeks is Pelicans forward, Zion Williamson with a hamstring injury. Could he be out longer than that considering his history with health? I'll take a trip around the Association, including the Nets getting their 11 game winning streak snapped by the Bulls last night.
(35:21) The NHL had its Winter Classic on Monday in Boston as the Penguins faced off against the Bruins. I'll recap a wonderful setting on a balmy January day, the Bruins success at home, indoors or out and a peek to next year's Winter Classic in Seattle of all places.
(39:58) There was some activity in baseball as far as a major signing (no, not Carlos Correa) but Rafael Devers re-signs with the Red Sox for 11 years/$331 million dollars. Was this a case of too little, too late appeasing the fan base after losing out on former shortstop, Xander Bogaerts?
(45:00) For the second year in a row, Rutgers upsets Purdue, the #1 seed in the country in surprising fashion. Then there are the Georgetown Hoyas, as they did something unimaginable. They've lost 25 consecutive Big East conference games, which is a record. What does this mean for the future of legendary figure Patrick Ewing as coach of the team?

With baseball now complete, we can zero in on the fall & winter sports as I'll have all of the latest and greatest with what's happening through the landscape. On deck:
(3:25) As the second half of the NFL season approaches, Western New York is waiting with bated breath on the right elbow of Bills QB Josh Allen. It's uncertain if he'll start this Sunday against the Vikings as he suffered a UCL injury in the final moments vs. the Jets. What this could mean, not just for the AFC but for the rest of this season if he is compromised or, dare I say, unable to play because of it? I'll also get into the controversial hire in Indianapolis as Colts great Jeff Saturday, who has never coached on any level, succeeds Frank Reich as they try to get back to respectability. Then there's the Week 10 schedule which is nothing to write home about in an already abominable first half.
(21:26) A quiet week on the college football schedule is set for Saturday, except for one game. #4 ranked TCU visits #18 Texas in the biggest game for the school in ages. Will they continue to stay undefeated and keep themselves in the conversation for the College Football playoff?
(29:15) The Brooklyn Nets did the right thing by hiring interim coach, Jacque Vaughn on a full time basis. There would've been tremendous backlash if they were going to hire who many people thought was going to be the next coach in Ime Udoka. What is going on with the Utah Jazz as they've been by far the biggest surprise in the NBA to date. I'll take a look at some other surprises and disappointments (i.e. Warriors & Heat) as the first month of the season is almost in the books.
(39:57) Who would've thought both the Devils and Islanders are the top two teams in the Metropolitan Division at this point? I'll get into Evander Kane's gruesome injury, another return for Jack Eichel in Buffalo as his Golden Knights not only have an eight game winning streak, but have the best record in the sport. The Blues are in the midst of a similar streak but on the losing end. Is coach Craig Berube on the hot seat? I'll take a trip around the ice in the NHL to see what else is happening as one month of the season is completed.
(47:43) Don't look now, but college basketball is back. I'll go over who the top teams are in the country and break up the Hoyas, as Georgetown snapped its 21 game losing streak with a win over Coppin St.

The time has arrived! A double dose of yours truly moving forward as I entertain and inform the masses on all that's going on in sports! On deck:
(3:10) The 2022 baseball season is here! I'll go through all of the divisions, share my over/under selections, a preview of my beloved Mets and who'll make it to the World Series? A surprising prediction that you won't want to miss as we're about to raise the curtain on another year of hardball.
(40:49) Tiger Woods is the top story as The Masters commences today. Does he have a shot to be at or near the top of the leaderboard come Sunday? I'll preview all of what may take shape in Augusta and my prediction as to who will win the first major golf tournament of 2022.
(49:30) I'll recap what was a thrilling NCAA Tournament and Championship Game as the Kansas Jayhawks win in historic fashion. Trailing by 15 points to upend the North Carolina Tar Heels to secure the second title for coach, Bill Self. Should Carolina fans be happy with how the tournament played out? Or bitter because they fell a basket short?
(53:15) I'll touch on some NFL news including the new overtime rule in the postseason, how the Rams payroll is stretched thin with another big signing and Stefon Diggs gets extended in Buffalo as the NFL Draft is three weeks away.
(58:29) And I'll introduce a new social media platform as another avenue for you to follow that'll tie into the podcast for everyone to enjoy.

The first full week of April ushers in a new era of the podcast as yours truly is primed and ready to deliver it all for YOU, the casual or diehard sports fan. On deck:
(4:35) I begin with a synopsis of the reasons why I've expanded the podcast to twice a week.
(8:40) I'll also discuss my sojourn to Northern California (San Francisco/Bay Area) as I detail my experience in celebrating another birthday. The beauty of being a sports fan living in the Pacific time zone. I shout out a couple of dear friends who were vital in making our stay pleasurable, but this theme does have a connection with sports. Including, my purpose and responsibility to you the listener, for navigating the podcast in a new direction moving forward.
(18:36) Which leads me to the Final Four this past weekend. Kansas continues to roll in this tournament, while the Mike Krzyzewski era ends against their arch rivals in North Carolina. I'll break down what I was able to see (hence the previous segment), the bitter end of Coach K's career and preview tonight's title game as the Tar Heels try to upend the top seeded Jayhawks. I'll throw some bouquets at the Women's NCAA Champion South Carolina Gamecocks, who ran right past UConn for their second title in five years.
(32:06) I'll stick with hoops as we can put an epitaph on the Lakers embarrassingly underachieving season. Is this the most disappointing season in sports history for a team that had championship aspirations? Does Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have what it takes to make a deep playoff run? Why is Joel Embiid making it all about his MVP candidacy this late in the season? I'll dissect what the latest is happening throughout the Association and introduce who the 2022 Hall of Fame recipients are as we've entered the final week of this long regular season.
(49:45) Is the sky falling for the Met fan like myself? With Jacob deGrom on the shelf for a minimum of four weeks with shoulder tightness and prized free agent, Max Scherzer dealing with hamstring tightness, the Mets could get off to a slow start. Will deGrom's health ever improve? Will he be the pitcher that he once was? Plus, the signing of Albert Pujols comes full circle in St. Louis as he signs a one year deal with the Cardinals to close out his career.
(57:55) Could we have a potential 1996 Stanley Cup Final rematch between Colorado & Florida? They are the two best teams in each conference as of this moment. I'll go around the ice to bring you up to speed on the NHL landscape. (The Lightning's chances to three-peat. Are the Islanders still alive for a Wild Card spot? The Flyers handling of Keith Yandle's iron man streak. And the unfortunate passing of the Senators owner, Larry Melnyk)
(1:05:21) Will Tiger Woods make it all the way back from a near fatal car accident 14 months ago to participate in the first major golf tournament of 2022? That'll be the biggest question leading up to Thursday's tee time as the Masters will commence in Augusta.
(1:10:18) To conclude, I'll have my Hero and Zero of the Week. And a heads up on another social media platform that I'll jump into for the very first time come later this week.

The final podcast of the month (and the quarter of 2022) sets up a huge sports week with lots of intriguing storylines abound as Episode #244 delivers on all that's happening and then some. On deck:
(5:27) The Final Four is set! You couldn't have predicted a better Semifinal Saturday as Duke will go up against hated rival in North Carolina. While Kansas will try to slay some demons as they have another date with Villanova with a national championship on the line. I'll cover how these teams got here, sprinkle in some disappointment with Gonzaga, Arizona and the cinderella St. Peter's Peacocks in Jersey City and look ahead to both matchups, the big takes from each game and the history of each school as it'll culminate in a national title.
(33:10) There were two big tranactions that transpired in the NFL last week with Matt Ryan going to Indianapolis. Does he have anything left? Then the Kansas City Chiefs send Tyreek Hill in a package for a plethora of draft picks to Miami. Are the Chiefs not as invincible with this move? What does this mean for Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa? Will he able to produce with the pieces now put in place for him to succeed? And with the loss of another wide receiver in Green Bay, how does this affect Aaron Rodgers as the Pack try to make another run at a Super Bowl?
(41:40) Break up the Boston Celtics. They've been on a tremendous run since January. Are they a threat to come out of the East? Kyrie Irving can finally play in home games as the vaccine mandate has been lifted in New York City. Will he be able to build enough continuity to close out the regular season on a high note? What about Ben Simmons? Is he close to returning in the lineup? As for the Lakers, they're holding onto dear life to make the postseason. And the Suns continue to rise high and shine bright as they look to get back to the Finals.
(53:13) The NHL still has a bit more than a month to go to conclude their schedule. I'll provide an update throughout the league, including the Wild Card chase in each conference as we'll see if there'll be any drama as we approach the homestretch on this marathon of a season. I'll also share my thoughts and experience on the new UBS Arena, home of the NY Islanders, as I had a chance to take in a game there recently.
(59:54) Baseball will be in our consciousness soon enough as the new year begins in ten days. The big question of the moment in the sport. Are the Yankees going to offer a lucrative contract to pending free agent outfielder, Aaron Judge, before Opening Day?
(1:02:32) With the Masters a week and a half away, Phil Mickelson has bowed out of the tournament for the first time in almost 30 years. Will this do him some good?
(1:04:22) And in closing, a different installment of my Hero and Zero of the Week!
