JD Talkin Sports

Send JD a text message and be heard! Tanaka taking a line drive from Stanton's bat.  Tanaka said he will be back soon. Cam Newton and Jameis Winston 2020 salaries combined making less then Chase Daniels.  Daniels on his best day isn't at the level of those two QB's.  Richard Sherman agree that Newton shouldn't have had to sign with Pats for NFL minimum.  So a man kneeling turne...

Send JD a text message and be heard! NFL going to play the Black National Anthem before all Week 1 games.  Change is good. Texas A&M football got a year's probation for talking to a football player before his junior year of high school.  I feel that's a little nit-picky.   Who wouldn't have wanted to be in Florida at the MLB's version of the movie, "The Sandlot."...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Maya Moore gave up her 2019 WNBA season during the prime of her career to come to the defense of Jonathan Irons who was serving a 50 year sentence for burglary and assault.  The conviction was overturned after Irons had served 22 years.   Dan Snyder you think its time to finally change the Redskins name? Congrats to Linda Cohn on 28 years with ESPN.  Here'...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Thanks Fred Wilpon due to you wanting to get $6M to Bernie Madoff you will be paying Bobby Bonilla $1.1 and change thru 2035 for a total of over $29M.  Karma is a bitch.   Thank you Ira Berkow for the article in the NYT and telling me that Rod Carew couldn't run in his neighborhood in the 1970's because he was stopped by cops too often.  How things ha...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Cam Newton is a Pat.  Can he bring back some of that 2015 Panther MVP magic? Malcolm Jenkins I agree the NFL isn't essential and the risks are too high right now.  Curious how things are going to go with restart of NWSL happening now and MLB and NBA not far behind. Aroldis Chapman got a 6 wheel, 150K jeep.  You never know where you'll get stuck in NYC...

Send JD a text message and be heard! NBA is going to have a basketball marathon over 16 days from July 30th-August 14th.  At least six games a day.  NBA's version of March Madness.

Send JD a text message and be heard! Yoenis Cespedes could be the next coming of Big Papi.  150 college athletes have tested positive for Covid-19.  Not rushing the kids back to campus? Good to see TB12 holding player only practices.  And quoting FDR.  Lot to fear out there actually Tommy.  And Florida is a hot spot right now.  But what do I know?   All sports.  One podcast.  (even hockey)  PODCAS...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Vince Carter, Air Canada you will be missed.   To kneel or not to kneel during the national anthem will be a hot topic during sporting events this season.  Monday on their opening day of the season, GM Connie May for the Pro Softball team Houston Scrap Yard Dawgs sent a tweet showing her players standing during the anthem and tagged President Trump.  Well the p...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Jamal Adams I agree with you.  Not a fan of Adam Gase.  Another reason why the Jets are one of the worst franchises in the NFL. So MLB sixty game season and in the extra innings you start with a baserunner on 2nd base.  Why not switch to TBall?   Another sporting event bites the dust in 2020, The NYC Marathon.  Can't do much social distancing there.   All...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Bubba Wallace had a noose put in his garage.  RACIST COWARDS.   Jamal Adams wants to go to a new team.  Jets don't value their players.

Send JD a text message and be heard! MLB pick a number.  Any number.   Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving maybe follow the WNBA's lead where they plan on using playing games with all 144 players in the same place as a platform for change.   NFL I don't see you playing in different stadiums and getting a season in happening this year.  College athletes at University of Texas and Michigan test...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Great Bleacher Report article by Gerald Narciso about players who only got into one game in the NBA.  One of them, Renaldo Major ended up becoming the all-time leading scorer in the G league and now recently retired wants to start a youth center in Bakersfield, CA to pass on his knowledge. The NBA players stand to lose $1.3B if there is no basketball this year...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Giants need a new kicker.  Aldrick Rosas going over 100MPH in a hit and run.   Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy doesn't seem to have the pulse of his players during these times wearing an "OAN" t-shirt.  I'm glad Chuba Hubbard started a dialogue with Gundy.  Changes are needed.   Rob Manfred not good to make a guarantee on MLB having...

Send JD a text message and be heard! So the Yanks did sign stealing too in 2017.   Baseball survived the steroid era they will survive this if they ever play again. So Ezekiel Elliott tested positive for Covid-19 and other unnamed Cowboys and Texans tested positive too.  We all want sports but not sure rushing back is a good idea right now in the U.S. On that point athletes can choose to come back...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Boston fans are racist? At least they finally fessed up.   Myles Garrett will get paid a lot of money very soon.  Just stay away from Mason Rudolph. Next year in Florida athletes will be able to make money off their likeness.  Show them the money. Doug Williams getting a film made on his life.  First African American QB selected in first round.  What an arm.  ...

Send JD a text message and be heard! NFL $250M over 10 years to fight systemic racism.  You're billionaire owners.  That is just the tip of the iceberg.  Roger Goodell still hasn't mentioned Kap by name.  Step up Roger.  Anytime Fitness in Wisconsin had a trainer post a "I can't breathe" workout.  Have we not learned anything from the George Floyd murder? Mets drafted Pete...

Send JD a text message and be heard! It seems like every day the owners and players association of MLB has a new plan for the 2020 season with no resolution in sight.   Reggie Bush could be back in good standing with USC.  OJ Mayo too.  Looking to get back to the glory days.  Have a long road ahead.   Colin Kaepernick says he's in great shape and wants to play in the NFL again.  Three years b...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Cormier vs Miocic the trilogy on August 15th.  And it will be Cormier's last fight. Greg Glassman Floyd-19 huh?  And there is the end of CrossFit for you.  A lot of people post racist, ignorant tweets and then apologize afterwards and expect to be forgiven.  Glad to see people see thru them.  Props to DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson to want the Calhoun...

Send JD a text message and be heard! MLB to have or have not a season? I'm trying but watching sports with no fans just looks like a practice session to me. Roger Goodell an apology is nice but you have a long way to go to make the NFL into a diverse and racially equal working environment.  All sports.  One podcast.  (even hockey)  PODCAST LINK ON ITUNES: http://bit.ly/JDTSPODCAST 

Send JD a text message and be heard! So Max Kellerman NHL isn't one of the four major sports?  Linda Cohn glad that pissed you off.  Nothing beats playoff hockey.  Jake Fromm another QB who had to apologize to his Bill teammates for a racist tweet from last year.  Would he be apologizing if he hadn't been caught?  And would an African American player been given a second chance for the sa...

Send JD a text message and be heard! NBA back on July 31st.  22 teams with a chance to win the title.   Drew Brees and Vic Fangio both spoke during a very volatile time and then apologized for their remarks.  The first steps are realizing your mistakes and learning from them.   I think all the leagues coming back can experiment with mic'ing up the players and giving us an inside look at the g...

Send JD a text message and be heard! So Broncos Head Coach Vic Fangio says there's no racism and discrimination in the NFL?  Better go talk to the World Champion KC Chiefs' Eric Bieniemy on why he's not a head coach in the NFL.  How about Robert Saleh?  You need to get your head out of the sand. NBA going to have a 22 team tournament.  Knicks can focus on getting a new head coach. ...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Great Article by LZ Granderson of the LA Times speaking with Chargers coach Anthony Lynn.  His mom told him to treat people the way you want to be treated.  Seems like a simple idea that we as a country are failing at miserably currently.   MLB owners are you owners to play games or save money?  Ridiculous. I think the short turnaround to get the players to pla...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Can anyone tell me how not playing will work for the future of MLB? Spanish Flu led to the 1919 Stanley Cup a draw.  No winner.  Seattle Metropolitans and Montreal Canadiens both ravaged by the flu.   I understand everyone wants to get paid including Jon Jones.  He is a great fighter.  A little trouble outside the ring.  But right now the UFC is on without any...

Send JD a text message and be heard! Fritz Pollard had bigoted teammates rip his uniform and he stayed up late at night to fix it.  I need to read more about this extraordinary man. I agree with Max Scherzer that MLB needs to do prorated contracts for the players.  And Scott Boras you're right.  Can't play the games without the players. Damian Lillard excited for play in games as opposed...
