Send JD a text message and be heard! Lebron 50TH Finals game tonight.  Has played in the NBA Finals in 58.5% of his  NBA career and has appeared in over 13% of ALL the NBA Finals.  From players in my lifetime I have him behind MJ.  And that's it. Yanks hit a lot of HR's in their 12-3 Game 1 win over the Indians.  Now Tanaka has to close it out.  Twins 18 straight postseason losses.  Prop...

So first two road teams in the MLB playoffs have won.  The Astros and White Sox.  I see a lot of higher seed teams going home this week.

Send JD a text message and be heard! SEC starts their season tomorrow.  The real college football games begin.   Giancarlo Stanton isn't opting out.  Only has seven years and $218M still coming his way.  Cash is king. Hey Nugget fans, Lebron has never lost a series when he's up 3-1 in a series.  Always a first, right? All sports.  One podcast.  (even hockey)  PODCAST LINK ON ITUNES: http...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Today's show had guest "Florida Sports Man" and he had a fantastic idea for where the Jets and Giants should be playing all their games. His World Series pick which I wasn't crazy about but if you're a Rays fan you should be ecstatic.   Florida Sports Man is a UF graduate and feels that the winner of the World's Greatest Cocktail p...

Send JD a text message and be heard! RIP Gale Sayers.  The Kansas Comet was before my time but those highlights. Amazing.  MLB playoffs start next week and the Yankees look like they'll be on the road for all of it.  2020 normal.   Read about Michigan senior football player Adam Shibley who in 2019 founded the The Uniform Funding Foundation (TUFF) which provide customized gear, uniforms and e...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Since August 26th 18 college football games have been cancelled or postponed.  Notre Dame @ Wake Forest postponed because 7 positive tests at Notre Dame.  I have no clue the Big Ten is getting in all their games with no wiggle room for makeup games. How about all the NFL seasons ended this weekend.  Nick Bosa, Courtland Sutton and Saquon Barkley to torn ACL&apo...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Scary injury day for NFL players in Week 2.  I hope that Saquon Barkley and Nick Bosa don't have torn ACL's.  But it doesn't look good. Jordan Jenkins said it all about the 0-2 start by the Jets.  "We haven't shown progress. It's been rinse and repeat the last two games." How does an NFL player not know what to do on an onside...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Check out Aiden Smith.  6 years old playing football at 5'1"-130 pounds.  Unbelievable.  I don't know how they tackle him.  You have to see his stiff arm of the defender.  Wow.   Props to Navy after getting blown out by BYU 55-3 they came back from a 24-0 halftime deficit @ Tulane and won 27-24.  Biggest comeback in program history. Lakers won ga...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Lebron cares more about championships then MVP trophies.  Tonight Lakers take on the underdog Nuggets.  I just can't see the Nuggets beating them.  Lakers in 5. How cool is this! For the first time in the Stanley Cup finals history a coach, Jon Cooper of the Tampa Bay Lightning will go against a former assistant, Rick Bowness of the Dallas Stars. Lightning...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Joe Burrow was asked if he was excited for his first prime-time debut tonight vs Browns.  Said he thinks the best QB's treat every game the same.  Awesome. Roy Holmes II on the 40 hamstring injuries through Week 1 of the NFL season.  Fancy footwork and sexy IG posts don't get your ready for the season, Holmes said.  I tend to agree. ESPN can you expla...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Clippers could taste the Western Conference Finals.  Now 0-8 in games to advance to the Conference Finals.  Kawhi and PG are leaving the bubble. Big Ten Football is back.  8 games plus crossover games matching the 2 vs 2 in the East and West DIvisions, 3 vs 3 and so on.  Top two play in Championship game on December 19th.  Someone suggested all 7 games be made...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Yankee fans Giancarlo Stanton is back tonight and Aaron Judge is soon to follow.  Will they be around the rest of the season healthy.  No one knows. Stephen Gostkowski had a rough night for the Titans last night.  3 missed FG's.  One of them was blocked.  Also a missed extra point.  But he did make the game winner though if he made one of the earlier misse...

Send JD a text message and be heard! DeAndre Swift we learn from our mistakes.  Tough loss for the Lions but how about Mitch Trubisky with three fourth quarter TD's in Bears win?  NOICE. Jets game was over in the first quarter and to top it off Le'veon Bell went out with an injured hamstring.  Next week the pissed off Niners come to town. DeAndre Hopkins had a career high 14 receptions t...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Naomi Osaka now is 3-0 in Majors after winning the US Open in three sets today over Vika Azarenka.   Sun Belt Conference Football had a great day today.  Ragin Cajuns won in Ames over Iowa State 31-14 and Arkansas State won 35-31 over Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas.   So Dana White will book Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar if they agree to fighting each other.  J...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Yanks and Mets honored 9-11 with hats today.  Yanks looking at a sweep of the O's and the Mets are looking to score more runs than the Jets will in Buffalo on Sunday.   Clippers blew a chance to send the Nuggets home and get to their franchise first Western Conference finals.   Chiefs won last night.  Fans booed the players locked in arms at midfield but c...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Mahomes vs Watson tonight.  Serena vs Azarenka and Osaka vs Brady at US Open.  Golden Knights vs Stars in Stanley Cup playoffs.  UAB vs Miami.  I know but it's still college football.  And Lebron vs Harden tonight too.  A plethora of sports choices for your viewing pleasure tonight. Skip Bayless is a douchebag for belittling Dak Prescott about dealing with...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Roberto Clemente Day in the MLB.  A man who put others before himself.   Jalen Ramsey now the highest paid DB in NFL history.  Sunday night home opener for the Cowboys.  Hopefully Amari Cooper is healthy to line up across from Ramsey. So my predictions for this NFL season.  Giants 7-9, Jets 6-10.  Ravens over Saints 45-35 in the Superbowl.  Hopefully they'...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Von Miller hope that the injury isn't serious.  Love watching him come off the edge. Yanks are 21-21.  The best team in NY right now is the Blue Jays. DeAndre Hopkins get a big extension with the Cards.  Going to love watching him catch footballs from Kyler Murray this season. Congrats to Jennifer Brady for making her first Grand Slam semifinal.  Next up a...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Serena tough match but pulls it out in three sets.  On to the Quarters at the US Open.   DeAndre Hopkins is on the verge of a new contract extension.  Has to be more then the $80M that Keenan Allen just got.   Mets came back from a 6-0 deficit but lost 9-8 in ten innings.   And BYU-NAVY tonight.  First game ever coached by Polynesian head coaches.  Congrats to...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Novak we all have a temper.  But hit the ball in the damn stands.  Better yet, serenity now, insanity later. Yanks are playing quite stinky the last 18 games, 5-13.  21-19 on the season.  20 games left and now one game behind the Blue Jays who they play in Buffalo starting tomorrow.  20 games to right the ship.   Bucks avoid the sweep but may have to go the res...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Islanders end a 27 year drought in the Eastern Conference finals. They beat the Flyers tonight 4-0.  Bring on the Lightning. Serena Williams down a set beats Sloane Stephens,  And seeing Serena's daughter in the stands.  Nice to have her family there.   Raptors come back and tie up the series with Celtics.  Defending champs still alive in the NBA playoffs....

Send JD a text message and be heard! Props to DeAndre Ware a boxer getting ready for his fight in Vegas and also works as a firefighter gave CPR to a Top Rank employee who was suffering an apparent heart attack.  He was alert in the hospital afterward.  Good luck in your fight tomorrow night.   Jimmy Butler is f*** locked in these playoffs.  Bucks haven't looked good since they got to the bub...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Steve Nash is the new head coach of the Nets.  They'd been pursuing him for months and he had history with KD and Nets GM Sean Marks.  They weren't getting Pops and Nash has no head coaching experience but it didn't seem to affect Steve Kerr, Doc Rivers and Larry Bird to name a few.   Leonard Fournette is a Buc, Ronald Jones has his #27 and Coach...
