Send JD a text message and be heard! Des Linden #RunDestober she called it.  Run the mileage of each day of a calendar month.  She did October 2020, 496 miles for the month.  That's some serious running. Joe Douglas Jets GM says Darnold is the future of the franchise and supports Gase too.   I agree with Mike Westhoff the Special Teams maestro for the Jets from 2001-12 who said they should bu...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Watched a great doc on the SEC Network about the Cuban Comet, Carlos Alvarez who was an All-American WR for the Florida Gators as a sophomore and still holds the program record for receiving yards.  He left Castro's Cuba at age 10 and was an inspiration for Cuban Americans.   After Daniel Jones stinker last night and the travails of Sam Darnold who is stil...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Florida Sports Man stumped me on a college football trivia question.  Only QB to have 10K passing and 4K rushing in college football history.   Florida Sports Man still ticked about Blake Snell being yanked in Game 6 series loss by Kevin Cash.   Texas had the 2022 #1 recruit QB Quinn Ewers decommit.  Looks like he might be headed to THE Ohio State.  Tom Herman...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Congrats to Dodgers for winning first title since 1988 and Clayton Kershaw for winning his first ring.  But MLB and the Dodgers didn't handle Justin Turner and his positive test well at all.  Seeing Turner out there celebrating was just horrifying.  He can be asymptomatic but what about his manager Dave Roberts who is a cancer survivor?  Can't be self...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Chiefs only favored by twenty points on Sunday over the Jets.   I don't see the Jets covering the spread. NBA season could start 72 days after the final game of the 2019-20 season.  Are we shocked?  It's about the sponsors and the TV money. So Nick Foles told the ESPN production crew that he can't execute the play calls coming in from head coach...

Send JD a text message and be heard! The Dodgers looked like my Little League team last night.  Rays now tied 2-2.  Anything is possible. Jets played better but lost on 6 Buffalo FG's and going into their final series had NINE yards of total offense.  Lost 18-10 after being up 10-0 in the first half. Cowboys are beyond crap.  25-3 loss to WFT.  Andy Dalton took a vicious hit that knocked him...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Florida Sports Man joins the podcast today.  Love his upset this week of Pitt over ND.   He says this is the year of Tampa Bay.  Lightning, Rays in 7 and the Bucs making the Superbowl this year.  Let's see if it all comes to fruition. His LOCK OF THE WEEK is TB beating LV at Allegiant Stadium.   Stan Van Gundy is a neighbor of his in Florida.  Upset he won...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Justin Gaethje with money he makes fighting Khabib at UFC 254 will allow his mom to retire.  Freaking awesome. TNF must see TV Giants @ Eagles.  Eagles have won seven straight in the series but dealing with a ton of injuries.  Down to third and 4th string on the OL.  Giants 17-14. Penn State Basketball Coach Pat Chambers resigned.  Told a former player he'...

Send JD a text message and be heard! I feel bad for Fitz.  He was having a very good year.  But the Dolphins will have this season to evaluate Tua and if it doesn't work out they will have the Texans #1 pick which could be a very high pick and go after Trevor Lawrence. Clayton Kershaw pitched well in Game 1 and Mookie Betts is the missing piece that could have the Dodgers winning their first...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Florida Sports Man in the house and he picked the Rays-Dodgers World Series and he has the Rays winning in 7 games. Tua starting for the Dolphins who were 3-3 with Fitzmagic.  Why switch now?  Dolphins looking to the future. There are two teams in College Football.  Clemson and Alabama.  The rest are playing for the final two spots in the College Football Playo...

Send JD a text message and be heard! 23 years since UNC had been #5 in college football and they are losing 24-0 in first half and eventually 31-7 to a terrible FSU team at the half.  End up losing 31-28 and are now #14 in the country.  They just seemed happy to be there.  The goal is to STAY relevant and not be known as only a basketball school.  Mack Brown can you get them back there?  I'm...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Covid-19 has wiped out Florida-LSU game this week and Florida Sports Man is feeling depressed.  He's also very nervous about his Rays losing two straight to the Astros. His LOCK OF THE WEEK is RAMS over the NINERS in SF on SNF on NBC.    I am taking the Niners +3.5.  Florida Sports Man likes Vasiliy Lomachenko in a Unanimous Decision over Teofimo Lopez on...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Arch Manning on ESPN2 tonight.  The nephew of Peyton and Eli.  He's only a sophomore.  The hype is real with him. So Sam Querrey allegedly tests positive for Covid-19 in Russia along with his wife and leaves on a private plane.   Saw the story on ESPN.  Curious where he is now.  And we wonder why this is never going away. Le'veon Bell going to sign wi...

Send JD a text message and be heard! The genius of Adam Gase just couldn't blend with the talent of Le'Veon Bell.  At least he made good money while he was there.  Good luck in your future endeavors. I'm glad the Yankees are going to look into what to do with Gary Sanchez going forward and Gleyber Torres playing shortstop.  Wasn't impressed with either of them in the 2020 seaso...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Great Article in Newsday by Laura Albanese about the man who is makes sneakers and cleats for the likes of Pete Alonso and Aaron Judge.  Anthony DeLucia runs Lucia Footwear Co.   Justin Herbert showed me more last night with the Chargers than Sam Darnold has showed in two plus seasons with the Jets.  Should have won the game too.   Aaron Boone will be back in 2...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Russell Wilson hasn't won an MVP award. He just wins games.  Vikes could have kicked a FG and put them up 8 but went for it on 4th and 1 and didn't convert.  94 yards later a TD pass for the second time to DK Metcalf and the Hawks are 5-0 for the first time in franchise history.   Dak Prescott was making $31.4M this year.  Will the Cowboys franchise t...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Chase Claypool had 4 TD catches today.  Jets have 6 on the season by the way.  Should have had 5, that wasn't offensive PI.  Steelers are 4-0 for first first time since 1979.  40 years to start a year 4-0!   Jets are 0-5 for first time since 1996 when they finished 1-15 under Rich Kotite.  They will be lucky to win one this year.   Bo Nix and Auburn got a...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Yanks and Rays do it all over again tonight and Cole is pitching on three days rest for first time in his career.  That's why they brought Cole here.  He wants the ball.  Give him the ball.  RIP Whitey Ford.  The greatest Yankee pitcher ever.   Tom Brady showed he was human last night.  Forgot what down it was at the end of the game.  He said he knew it wa...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Clay Travis you got nothing on NFL picks compared to my man, Florida Sports Man. Lock of the leak for Florida Sports Man, Steelers will roll over the Eagles at home. Florida Sports Man tells stories about his time at UF during the glory days of the Gator's National Championship basketball teams with Billy Donovan as the head coach.   All sports.  One podca...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Jordan Montgomery you need to keep the Yanks alive tonight.  Aaron Judge you need to do something tonight or this year is going to be much more of a failure then last season. Titans no masks, unauthorized workouts.  Two more players test positive for Covid-19.  Mike Vrabel what's going on in Nashville? Giants suck, Jets suck.  Jason Garrett says they'...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Joe Flacco will be the 17th starting QB for the Jets since 2000 this Sunday vs the Cards at Metlife.  He was done in my opinion last year.  Darnold is in a lot of pain. Stephon Gilmore tested positive for Covid-19 and there is a pic of him talking to Patrick Mahomes after MNF game.  Mahomes is sleeping separately from his pregnant fiancé.   But this takes the c...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Eddie Van Halen RIP.  Died today at 65 of throat cancer.  "1984" was one of my favorite when it came out and to this day.  Loved Van Halen's videos too.  He was a unique talent.  RIP. Yanks got it done in Game One over TB last night and Giancarlo Stanton hit a grand slam to clinch the win.  Now on to Game 2.   I love Aaron Rodgers saying on Pat M...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Jimmy Butler only cares about wins and losses.  Down 2-1.  Can they knot it at 2-2 on Tuesday.  I think not. Matt Patricia and his lions have 6 consecutive losses when leading by 10+ points.  He came in saying he had a lot of things to fix.  10-25-1 record so far.  I'd say you have a long way to go. Yanks-Rays tonight.  Cole vs Snell.  Can't wait. The...

Send JD a text message and be heard! The Big12 is done.  History.  Texas shows that Tom Herman shouldn't be their head coach much longer and Lincoln Riley and the Sooners are 0-2 in the Big12 for first time since 1998.  Oklahoma State and Baylor are the only undefeated teams in Big12 which means no one is making the college football playoff.  But big props for Iowa State for first home win vs...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Today's show with Florida Sports Man.  He spoke on the podcast about the OKC coaching vacancy should go to Becky Hammon.  I love it.   Jets 0-4 for second straight year.  37 points to a third straight QB in his first NFL start.  Deplorable.  NBA and WNBA finals tonight.  Heat are in trouble without Dragic and Bam. AD and Lebron are looking unstoppable. Get...
