The JAYREELZ Podcast

One of the best, if not, the best sports month of the year has arrived as we've turned the calendar to October and here to deliver all that the sports world has to offer as Episode #218 is ready to be streamed, downloaded and consumed. On deck: (5:38) I have to vent about how my current sports life, to put it bluntly, sucks right about now! I'll get into why I start off this podcast in such a feisty mood. (10:17) The marathon of a baseball season is over. Now it's onto the Hunt for Red October as the postseason is about to commence. I'll dive into the top storylines on the eve of the playoffs, key injuries, the matchups of the Wild Card and Division Series, with some early predictions as the chase for the World Series Trophy is all set. (33:19) I highlight the winners (i.e. Arizona & Seattle) and losers (Tennessee & New Orleans) of Week 4 in the NFL. It was a rather ho-hum Sunday throughout the league, but the biggest game in several years took place as the return of Tom Brady to his old stomping grounds in Foxborough as the Buccaneers squeaked by the Patriots in a much ballyhooed matchup between the defending Super Bowl champs and Bill Belichick. I'll delve into all that transpired this past week for Brady and his former team. I'll even share a thought on the announcement of the Super Bowl halftime show of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige. (55:55) Look out college football, but there may be an underdog that's here to stay in the playoff scenario as the Cincinnati Bearcats upset the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish, which begs the question, can they possibly be a representative for the Final Four come New Years' Eve? I'll breakdown the potential angles of how they can make it, plus, quite a few top teams take a hit to their championship aspirations (i.e. Arkansas, Notre Dame, Florida and Oregon) in another wild and wacky Saturday in the sport. (1:04:31) The NBA season starts in just two weeks. Vaccinations in two locales (i.e. New York and San Francisco) have become hot topics, in particular for Nets point guard, Kyrie Irving. I'll have an update on him and Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins as the league prepares for the upcoming 75th anniversary of the Association. (1:07:02) An interesting story has come about in the NHL regarding Vegas goalie, Robin Lehner and how there's been medical malpractice throughout the league when it comes to abusing pharmaceuticals. Will this been an ongoing story as the league raises its curtain a week from tomorrow? (1:09:41) As always, I conclude with my Hero and Zero of the Week.
