Tatis Jr's. Suspension A Big Hit To SD's Series Chances? Jet Fans Exhale On QB Wilson's Knee. Deshaun Watson's Apology. Too Little, Too Late

Published: Aug. 15, 2022, 4:16 p.m.

b'The middle of August brings another passion filled, action packed podcast as I delve in on a couple of interesting topics to rev up your sports engine. On deck:

(4:33) Fernando Tatis Jr. surprised baseball as MLB handed down an 80 game suspension for violating the league\'s substance abuse policy. Will his absence hurt or help the Padres as they\'re in the middle of a heated wild card race? I\'ll go through the entire landscape and discuss the fight for the AL Central (Guardians, Twins, White Sox), NL Central (Cardinals & Brewers), NL East (as the Mets and Braves square off for four games in Atlanta) The Dodgers have their 12 game winning streak snapped and the Yankees are scuffling as they come off of a 2-7 road trip. Plus, the latest in the wild card as Tampa Bay did a nice job rebounding from a series opening loss to Baltimore to win the back two and almost had a perfect game pitched by Drew Rasmussen.

(24:53) The Jet fan can breathe the ultimate sigh of relief as their franchise QB, Zach Wilson will only miss 2-4 weeks after suffering a knee injury vs. Philadelphia on Friday night. It was feared that he tore his ACL, which would\'ve had him out for the season, but for now, Wilson is on target to make a speedy recovery. If he\'s not quite 100%, do you want to see him out there Week 1 vs. Baltimore? Then there\'s Deshaun Watson. He issued an apology before the first preseason game in Jacksonville on Friday. Is it a case of \'too little, too late\'? Also, my defense of this whole scenario as people have been getting at me being judge, jury and executioner for someone who wasn\'t guilty in a criminal case. I\'ll have a thorough explanation as to why he needs to be suspended for more than the six games that was handed to him a few weeks back.

(40:17) An early look at the NBA over/under win totals have been released. I was quite shocked to see who was listed at the top of the list. It wasn\'t the Lakers, Nets, Suns or even the champs in the Warriors. If you don\'t know, you\'ll have to listen and hear for yourself.

(44:48) Boxing\\u2019s heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, walks away from the sport at the age of 34. Do you think this is it? Or will we see him sometime down the road? I\\u2019ll get into how the title \\u2018heavyweight champion of the world\\u2019 has fallen so far from our sports consciousness it isn\\u2019t even funny.
