The answer to that is yes, precisely a week away from Thanksgiving, but it’s never too early to carve up and share what sports entrees I’ve got prepped and ready to go as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck: (6:43) It’s been a wild week on the New York football scene as there was a GM fired by the Jets and a surprise pick at QB by the Giants. I’ll dissect both scenarios as Joe Douglas was let go by Gang Green. Where do they stand now and moving forward? While Tommy DeVito has been thrusted the starter over QB2 Drew Lock, meaning the end of the Daniel Jones era for the G-Men. What does this mean for an organization that’s hit on hard times since winning a Super Bowl 13 years ago. I’ll peek at the Week 12 schedule which is underwhelming, to say the least. Will the Pittsburgh Steelers follow up their huge win over Baltimore with a stinker in Cleveland? The first time nominees for the Hall of Fame were announced as Eli Manning is the headliner. Is he a first ballot HOF’er? (32:25) The latest college football playoff selections were released on Tuesday night. This week I have a different observation. Will the committee revamp the playoff system by not awarding the conference champions a bye and go back to not just seedings, but strength of schedule, conference, etc.? (41:33) The last undefeated team in the NBA finally suffered a loss as the Cleveland Cavaliers were defeated in Boston by the defending champions two nights ago. The big story of the past few days is Sixers center Joel Embiid was called out by his All-Star teammate, Tyrese Maxey, for all intents and purposes, not being the leader as the face of the franchise. Is he right? Was he wrong to say that? Can Embiid be the leader that the Sixers need? I’ll unpack that and everything else that’s going on in the Association. (53:37) On the ice, Alexander Ovechkin continues his assault on the all time goal scoring record held by Wayne Gretzky, netting two goals in Utah. Now it has to be put on pause when he sustained a leg injury after colliding with a Utah player. How long will he be out of the lineup? The Boston Bruins fired their coach Jim Montgomery after a quarter of a season played. Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews has been out since Nov. 3 with an upper body injury. How much longer will he miss? (1:01:38) With the MVP in the MLB announced tonight, I’ll recap who has won the offseason awards to date. More importantly, the buzz surrounding free agent Juan Soto is reaching a fevered pitch. I’ll share an interesting parallel with another top player in a different sport that was in the same position as Soto. I’ll also run through the first time nominees for the Hall of Fame, led by Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia. And another name change to a ballpark that we’ll have to get used to, this time in Houston.
