b'Creeping into the middle of August delivering insight, analysis, opinions and then some as I zip through the sports world as Episode 149 does not disappoint. On deck:

(4:14) Have you, the fans/listeners, embraced the return of sports after a four and a half month layoff?

(8:08) Taking a plunge into the MLB to chat about the hottest team in baseball (Oakland A\\u2019s). Are they the best team in baseball? I\\u2019ll also discuss the Marlins back in action, the Cardinals missing in action, the Braves lose a major piece to their rotation, Albert Pujols on the cusp of catching a legend, the wondrous Fernando Tatis, Jr. and I don\\u2019t want to hear talk about a .400 hitter just yet.

(25:30) The NBA will conclude their re-start regular season this week. Are the Lakers in peril? Zion & the Pelicans fall short of the postseason, the resurgence of Portland and the Phoenix Suns? Is a Luka-Giannis rivalry in our future? And why does it seem that Kawhi Leonard\\u2019s knees are never healthy?

(39:37) The NHL Qualifying Round is complete. (Sorry, Maple Leaf fans) It\\u2019s onto the Conference Quarterfinals. I\\u2019ll preview \\u2018Round 2\\u2019, what to watch for and make some predictions along the way.

(47:09) The PGA ended in thrilling style, but first, some words exchanged between Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy over Dustin Johnson\\u2019s lack of major titles on the tour. The main story is Collin Morikawa\\u2019s stunning win at the age of 23 in only his second major event. I\\u2019ll get into what took place and how did Tiger Woods fare in his quest to get to that elusive 16th major title.

(52:36) I\\u2019ll touch briefly on the NFL opt-out scenario and health status of two QB\\u2019s in the league.

(54:19) Despite some of college football\\u2019s best players wanting to opt IN on the upcoming season, the powers that be in the Power Five conferences are thinking that there may not be a season after all. I\\u2019ll explain in great detail as to why I agree with people who run those conferences as opposed to the players.

(1:00:52) An update on a couple of key players opting out of the US Open Tennis Tournament at the end of the month.

(1:02:24) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
