I finally present to you my AMA (Ask Me Anything) Podcast as Episode 142 delivers some truths about yours truly and beyond.

In this forum, I’ll answer questions from a variety of topics ranging from health to commitment, being lucky in love, the players relationship with the fans in a COVID world, will there be a football season and plenty more. This was a break from the norm, but a fun exercise that I shared with the fans and hope to do again, sometime in the future.

Leaving the candid, negative vibes behind for this week as I shine on the positivity of the sports world as I present, Episode 141. On deck:

(2:51) Kicking off the podcast with a theme of good vibes as I focus on not detailing how COVID-19 could potentially shut down sports as we know it.

(6:41) MLB’s upcoming 2020 season. Will it be legitimate? What if a player flirts with batting .400? I have lots to share on that.

(16:14) NBA’s restart schedule has been released. It’s way too early for predictions, but players are opting out of playing in Orlando. Will this trend continue? Also, LeBron James celebrates an infamous anniversary. It was ten years ago that The Decision was the talk of all sports. I’ll recap the hoopla surrounding that firestorm.

(27:12) The NHL are narrowing down hubs for their postseason. Who are the front runners? The league is working on the next CBA, but there’s a caveat. I’ll explain. And who came up with this bizarre way to get the number 1 pick in this years draft? You won’t want to miss my assessment on that topic, as well as, there are a few inductees to Hockey’s Hall Of Fame as I’ll get into whether or not they are worthy of being enshrined in Toronto.

(37:26) Cam Newton has finally found a home. It’s with New England. I’ll share his possible impact in Foxborough but also chime in on the biggest reason why this may not work? The head of the players union (DeMaurice Smith) made some sober comments regarding the players protective safety before the start of training camp. Is he wrong for bringing it up?

(45:13) Plus, NYC Marathon canceled. The golf over the weekend at The Travelers in CT. Bubba Wallace fallout from the alleged noose in his garage and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Episode 140 delivers another very special guest. This time, I’m joined by Monica McNutt, host of MSG 150 on MSG Network. You can also see her on the ACC Network, FS1’s College Basketball coverage and listen to her basketball podcast (please see below).

We delve into a majority of topics. Her passion for sports, playing basketball at Georgetown University, her broadcasting journey (including some ups and downs) to where she is today, the current racial tension in America, the state of the NBA & NFL and much more. This was an engaging, entertaining and fun discussion that I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Plus, I’ll spend a couple of minutes talking about baseball being back into the sports conversation and what could possibly lie ahead as we get closer to the start of the season.

Doing my best to provide some light in a dark sports world that doesn’t seem as if it’s getting better, will be my goal in Episode 139! On deck:

(2:57) After police brutality was all the rage throughout the month, guess who made its return back into the news cycle? That’s right. COVID-19! I’ll dive in as to what the latest outbreaks throughout the country means as far as sports restarting (NBA, NHL) or trying to start (MLB) and the effects of it in the not too distant future (NFL). It’s a grim reality of an assessment that you won’t want to miss.

(22:29) An up to the minute analysis of the psychological tug of war between the players and owners of the MLB. We’re waiting word on the players vote on whether they’ll accept the latest (and final) proposal by the owners. Will they agree? Should they play? It’s getting late early as Yogi Berra used to say. You’ll definitely want to process and digest what I have to say about that.

(31:22) Brett Favre was asked about Colin Kaepernick and how he’s compared to the late football player, Pat Tillman AND if there’s a correlation between Kaepernick, Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali? You KNOW I went IN on this subject. Is Kaep a hero? Is he worth being mentioned in the same breath as the aforementioned icons of sports past? Another fiery take as I go full open field tackle on this subject. I’ll also touch on Jamal Adams of the New York Jets and his trade request out of Gotham. What should the Jets brass do? Listen in to find out for yourself.

(44:12) The Belmont Stakes kicked off the Triple Crown of Horse Racing for the year. When it’s all said and done, if Tiz The Law is victorious in the last two races as he was in the first, will it be legit?

(47:26) I’ll have a quick tennis update on the US Open still set for late August. Serena Williams will be there. What about Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? What if they do not participate? I’ll share that…

(49:45) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Joining me on a very special Episode 138 is four time Stanley Cup champion and rugged winger of the 1980’s Edmonton Oiler teams, Kevin McClelland.

We unpack his long, successful career in the NHL as we discuss his early days playing in Pittsburgh, his trade to Edmonton, scoring the only goal in Game 1 of the 1984 Stanley Cup Finals, winning four Stanley Cups in five years, the battles he faced against their arch rivals in the Calgary Flames, proving himself on a team with several tough guys on the roster, some of the toughest players he fought in his career and much more.

Zooming through the month and the sports stratosphere bringing you up to date on ALL that’s going on in the world of sports, Episode 137. On deck:

(3:13) The players and owners of the MLB have become increasingly distant by the day when it comes to an agreement to play ball. There’s only one person who can solve this. Unfortunately, it may leave a stain with the group he works for. I’ll explain.

(17:57) A couple of interesting notes came from the NBA over the weekend. One - Kyrie Irving’s comments about not finishing the season in light of the recent civil unrest in this country. Two - the players concern about isolation, being in a ‘bubble’, their health to complete a season has come under pressure in the past few days. Is Kyrie right? Should some of the players back off, if they wish?

(33:33) The latest on the NHL hubs as they look to start training camp on July 10th. Also, how the first round of the playoffs could be an advantage for the 5-12 seeds going up against the 1-4 seeds in the second round?

(38:17) An NFL head coach will kneel with his players during the national anthem, as well as, multiple players as well. What will the owners do? They’ve been quiet up until this point.

(43:00) I discuss the summer of 1998 with Sammy Sosa & Mark McGwire’s home run chase. Alex Cora’s comments on his participation in the 2017 Astros sign stealing scandal.

(44:45) Why I was not attracted to the Charles Schwab golf tournament over the weekend? Roger Federer hangs it up for 2020 and my Hero and Zero of the Week.

Episode 136 delivers a special guest as I take a trip down memory lane with former Georgetown Hoya and NBA Veteran, Jahadi White.

We go in-depth and discuss his journey to Georgetown. Was it his first choice? His determination to make it to the NBA after suffering a broken ankle in his senior year. The camaraderie he experienced with his teammates in Washington, including, his relationship with the immortal Michael Jordan. Plus, his thoughts on the NBA game today compared to when he played, and much more.

A new day, week and month has arrived. Be sure to strap yourself in, because this will be one wild sports ride and then some, on Episode 134. On deck:

(3:08) The Good: NHL & NBA resuming seasons in late July. My thoughts on how to set up the NBA postseason and why they should copycat what the NHL is doing?

(15:06) The Bad: Will the winter sports captivate the casual or diehard fan as we slowly come out of the COVID-19 pandemic?

(19:53) The Ugly: MLB players propose their deal to the owners which could become the beginning of the end of a season that hasn’t and may not commence. Also, my solution to unite the players and owners to a fair deal to get their season underway.

(31:01) The NFL has scrapped the pass interference rule AND the new onside kick play moving forward. I’ll explain why. And JJ Watt’s desire to prove his worth without having to demand a new contract?

(40:20) My Hero of the Week…

(41:26) …followed up with my Zero of the Week. Which is a message to the citizens of the USA in light of the tragic events that took place in Minneapolis, MN and throughout the nation this past week. Plus, where was the MLB in the aftermath of all of this?
