History was made in the NBA last night as Lebron James scored 38 points to eclipse the NBA all time scoring record that was held by Kareem Abdul Jabbar for 39 years. An amazing accomplishment and another accomplishment in a stellar 21 year career that shows no signs of slowing down. 

Another year, another playoff disappointment for the 49ers. This time it was a 31-7 soul crushing defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. 49ers lost 2 QBs in the game including Brock Purdy who went down early with an elbow injury. A bitter end for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. 

And then there were 4! NFL Divisional weekend is over and done with and its Kansas City, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and San Francisco who advance to conference title game Sunday. 

We are down to the NFL version of the Elite 8! NFL Divisional round weekend is upon us. Chiefs ,Jaguars, Bills, Bengals, Eagles, Giants, 49ers, and Cowboys will all compete for NFL supremacy and try to move one step closer to the most important event in Western civilization, the Super Bowl. 

NFL Super Wild Card weekend did not disappoint. Brock Purdy was electric for the 49ers. Chargers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and blew a 27-0 lead to the Jaguars. Bills made it a little too xlose for comfort before eventually holding on to win vs Miami. Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley led the Giants to a big road win against the fraudulent Minnesota Vikings. Cincinnati survived a slugfest against the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys destroy the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

The race to Glendale, AZ and Super Bowl 57 begins this weekend with 6 playoff games on NFL Super Wild Card Weekend! I make my predictions about each game and how I see the games shaping up in this edition of The Dion Gordon Podcast. 

Week 18 in the books and the 2022 NFL regular season has come to a close. As always there are a plethora of storylines to talk in the NFL. Playoff matchups have been set, coaches have been fired, Lamar Jacksons contract situation, and the continued recovery of Bills safety Damar Hamlin, are all discussed on this episode of the Dion Gordon Podcast.

A shocking and terrifying scene on Monday Night Football as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed to the ground unconscious after making a tackle on Bengals WR Tee Higgins. Hamlin would need on field CPR to resuscitate him and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was listed in critical condition. He has since regained neurological function and has had the breathing tube removed today. The fallout from the incident and cancellation of the game prompted the NFL to come up with convoluted playoff scenarios to try and maintain competitive equity. 

In a matchup of my favorite team vs my favorite player it was my team that prevailed. The San Francisco 49ers eviscerated Tom Brady and the Buccaneers 35-7 and it wasnt even that close. Brock Purdy so far has been a revelation at QB for the Niners. His exceptional play alongside an elite defense has kept the 49ers in the Super Bowl conversation.
