Bunch of Thoughts
Jason originally intended to write a blog about something else, but some recent events have forced a change of plans.
What Could Have Been
This past weekend was championship weekend in the NFL. A great day of football where you usually get the four best team from the NFC and AFC. Unfortunately, the best team in the NFC did not make it this year.
Wheelin’ and Dealin’
If you haven’t heard, there is this guy named Juan Soto and he signed with the Mets. I’m sure you have seen it all over and you even heard about it right here on the Throwing Bagels Podcast.
One of New York City’s Great Weekends!!
In most of the United States, the first Sunday in November means turning the clocks back and gaining an extra hour of sleep; but in New York City the first Sunday in November is Marathon Sunday. This is the running of the New York City Marathon.
Playoff Race, Who’d a Thunk It!!
Jason reviews a 2024 New York Mets season that has been full of ups and downs - and, at the moment, finds the Mets in the middle of a race for the playoffs.
There Needs to be an Explanation
SO, I feel like there is a need to explain my absence from our previous podcast episode but first let me take you back to a time, stop me if you’ve heard this before, but before Covid-19.
Traveling Man
Maybe you noticed or who knows maybe you didn’t but I was not present for episode 45 with Jeff Wise. As Kevin mentioned during the episode, I was on assignment. Well, I don’t know if this was an assignment or not, but I was in London where I had recently watched the New York Mets take on the hated Philadelphia Phillies.
Epitome of Perseverance
It is not often when a team is decimated by injuries and can make a run in the playoffs. The New York Knickerbockers have had quite the season when it came to injuries.
One Shining Moment
The NCAA Tournament is an event like no other but it’s what happens after that a lot of people love to watch.
Anything Can Happen
During this time of year conference tournaments kick off and you never know who might win and take an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, bursting someone’s bubble.
Teams Are a Changin’
It’s the time of year where NFL and college football teams will look to replace their head coaches. Jason reviews which coaches have been let go and ponders where will they end up.
Who Gets In
Jason thinks one team got a really bad deal from the NCAA when it came time to determine the College Football Playoff participants.
Alma Mater Visit
Jason talks about reconnecting with old friends during SUNY Oswego’s Founder’s Weekend, which included the Communication Studies Alumni Dinner.
Trading Season
Jason believes this is the time of year when some MLB teams get better and others build for the future.
Best Tradition in Sports
Jason discusses the tradition of shaking hands and trophy presentation during the NHL Playoffs.
Two Best Words in Sports!! (Most of the Time)
