Nets Taking Over The East? Lake Tahoe Experiment Melts NHL, Questioning The Carson Wentz Trade, SD Offers Tatis Jr. 'Irresponsible' Contract

Published: Feb. 22, 2021, 10:56 p.m.

b'The final Monday and week of February delivers a bunch of hot topics, that yours truly, anticipates sinking his teeth into as Episode 179 is being served. On deck:

(4:57) The Brooklyn Nets have finally come together as they\'re playing their best basketball this season. Is this team primed to take over the East? Are they Finals bound? No Anthony Davis means no repeat title for the Lakers? Draymond Green\'s comments about players being held out for a possible trade/buyout? A challenge for the young Spurs as they deal with postponement of games due to COVID. LeBron James crosses another milestone. The Jazz continues it\'s dominant run. The Pelicans undergo two historic (one good, one bad) turnarounds in a 48 hour span. And the Celtics can\\u2019t get out of their own way as they\\u2019re mired in mediocrity.

(30:37) The NHL may be coming out on the other side of the coronavirus as the numbers are going down with players catching the virus, but the league cannot get a break as the Outdoor Games in Lake Tahoe over the weekend, didn\\u2019t live up to expectations due to Mother Nature. I\\u2019ll get into what went wrong, as well as, take a trip around the ice with the latest news.

(44:17) The Carson Wentz era is over in Philadelphia. I\\u2019ll share my thoughts on who benefits from this trade with the Colts and did Eagles ownership do the right thing in jettisoning their former #2 overall pick in 2016? Also, the sad and unfortunate death of former WR, Vincent Jackson.

(54:29) MLB camps are officially in swing as all players have reported to their respective teams. The big news out of last week is the signing of Padres SS Fernando Tatis Jr. and his blockbuster 340 million dollar deal. I\\u2019ll explain why the Padres were irresponsible in locking the budding superstar to not just an enormous amount of money, but the years that were given to him as well.

(1:06:41) We\\u2019re less than three weeks away from Selection Sunday in College Basketball. I\\u2019ll bring you up to speed on what\\u2019s going on in the college circuit, including Michigan\\u2019s outstanding road win at Ohio State.

(1:11:17) The Australian Open was ho-hum as the expected champions on both sides (Naomi Osaka and Novak Djokovic) did not disappoint. I\\u2019ll recap the first Grand Slam in Tennis and is Serena Williams ready to call it a career?

(1:14:40) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
