The JAYREELZ Podcast

Spring has arrived! The weather (in the Northeast) has been gorgeous as we’re off to a good start. Let me do the same as there is lots to cover in the world of sports. Episode #186 is ready for your earbuds or speakers. On deck: (4:41) The first three days of March Madness has been just that! A different year is affecting the ‘feel’ of the tournament to date, including major upsets by Loyola Chicago and Oral Roberts. Can the lower seeds continue to hang and beat the top seeds in the bracket? The impact of the sport as it’s taking shape earlier than normal. I’ll also have a postmortem on my beloved Georgetown Hoyas, who lost to Colorado on Saturday as they’re out of contention. (34:34) How will the West shape up after the Lakers lose LeBron James to a high ankle sprain indefinitely? The Celtics team meeting as there’s ‘still time left’. Coach Brad Stevens squashing rumors he’s returning back to coach in college. LaMelo Ball’s injury may force him out for the rest of the year. Who’s next to become a possible Rookie of the Year? (45:49) The Patriots are the free agent winners of March as they’ve made significant moves to bolster their roster. I’ll get into that, as well as, DeSean Jackson’s impact for the Rams (with a ginormous IF!) An overhaul in the desert for the Cardinals. Trent Williams record breaking payday. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s loyalty in Pittsburgh. The Deshaun Watson saga takes an ugly turn with a seedy lawyer at the forefront of this. What Watson should do (but won’t) to quiet the masses? And NFL content reigns supreme as the league and ESPN sign for an 11 year marriage, which includes more playoff games and in the rotation to broadcast the Super Bowl. (1:03:20) An NHL recap discusses the loss of Islanders captain Anders Lee. A hobbled Evgeni Malkin. The Bruins dealing with COVID. What’s going to happen with their schedule as a couple of games have been cancelled? Mika Zibanejad’s record night, coupled with Artemi Panerin’s reinstatement and the Avalanche bring in a backup goalie with ZERO wins this year? (1:11:26) Opening Day is 10 days away as the Met fan sweats to see if SS Francisco Lindor signs on the dotted line before the first game, as he states he will become a free agent if he doesn’t sign before the start of the season. Should the Mets re-sign him now? (1:20:33) Some golf news as we’re two and a half weeks away from The Masters commencing at Augusta. Will Brooks Koepka be at the first tee come April 8th? Also, a thought on when Tiger Woods MIGHT come back and play at a golf course, near or not so near, you. (1:23:39) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
