On deck: (6:33) It’s coming down to this in college football. Conference Championship weekend is here with not much drama and intrigue as teams set themselves up for the first ever twelve team playoff. Is there controversy surrounding the selection committee leaving Miami out of the playoff mix, despite them being ranked 12th in the nation? If SMU has an awful performance in the ACC Championship, could Miami sneak in? Besides that, you don’t have much to hang your hat on when it comes to any possible shakeups to the postseason bracket. I’ll preview the games to see whether or not Texas will exact revenge from Georgia. Can Penn State put up a fight against the #1 team in the nation? Will Boise & Arizona State punch their tickets to the dance? Everything you need to know about what’s going to take place, I’ve got you. (29:52) Week 14 in the NFL might as well be WEAK 14, because the schedule is just that. Although tonight, you have the best matchup by far on the docket with the Packers will visit the Lions for an NFC North battle. As much as Green Bay needs to win to keep pace in the division, I’ll share why this game is more important for Detroit in the grand scheme of things? I’ll get into the three game suspension the league handed down to Azeez Al Shaair for his hit on Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence last Sunday. Was it too harsh? Is this the end of Doug Peterson’s tenure as head coach in Jacksonville? (41:52) The NBA Cup matchups are set (for those that are into it. Yours truly, notwithstanding) Plus, I detest the scheduling of these games has me appalled. Even one of the best players in the league (ahem, SGA of OKC) said the scenario is ‘confusing.’ So I’m not alone as far as being on top of this in-season tournament. I’ll get into that a little bit. Another key injury to Suns forward Kevin Durant. And how the Warriors and Lakers have come back to the pack after great starts. (54:35) Alex Ovechkin’s recovery from a fractured tibia has been well ahead of schedule as he’s been skating since the injury two weeks ago, but is he that close to being back in the lineup? The Dallas Stars suffered a big injury to their team as Tyler Sequin will be out 4-6 months after hip surgery. The Minnesota Wild have overtaken the Winnipeg Jets in the Central Division with torrid play and have the most points in the sport as of today. (1:01:16) Will the MLB Hot Stove really cook over the next week? The Winter Meetings commence on Sunday through next Thursday. It’s been reported that Juan Soto is expected to announce where he’ll sign in the coming days. You know my stance on this, if you’ve listened to the podcast. What about the Dodgers deferred money on signed free agents tallying up to 1B dollars? Is this fair? I’ll unpack this silly idea of commissioner Rob Manfred’s idea of a “golden at-bat”, meaning that their best hitter can get an extra plate appearance even if his turn was up in the lineup. Seriously? And also look to see which free agents have signed on to new teams if you’re (Aroldis Chapman, Kyle Higashioka or Matthew Boyd).
