The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame had its annual vote this past Tuesday to elect the 2022 Inductees. For the tenth straight year, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds will be denied that privilege. Bonds captured only 66% and Clemens got 65%. David Ortiz was the lone player to receive the 75% necessary to be inducted. Is it hypocritical for the BBWAA to elect Ortiz over Bonds given both have a history to PEDs? #BarryBonds When the Lakers first acquired Anthony David to pair with Lebron James they imagined a dynasty in the making. Three years later and with Davis returning from another injury people wonder how long the experiment will last. A anonymous Western Conference general manager has linked James to the Philadelphia 76ers. In this scenario James would join Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard to form a new super team in Philly.

    2022 AFC & NFC Championship Game Previews / Predictions | Rams-49ers & Bengals-Chiefs

    Welcome in Slumpbusters! A trip to Super Bowl 56 is on the line when the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. Cincinnati, a thought to be rebuilding franchise, is clearly ahead of schedule. The Bengals, with the return of quarterback Joe Burrow, are in a place they haven't been since the 1980's. It was the foot of kicker Evan McPherson that gave the Bengals the walk-off victory over the one-seeded Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs on the other hand are very familiar with the AFC Championship game as this will be their fourth consecutive season hosting the game. Patrick Mahomes had to will his Chiefs to an overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills to advance to this point. Mahomes, 26, and Burrow, 25, are undoubtedly the future stars of the game but who will add to their resume Sunday? (1:25) For the third time this season the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams will faceoff. The 49ers have gotten better of the Rams twice this season and in six consecutive games. To get here the 49ers have had to win back-to-back-to-back road games and will be coming back to California after a game on the frozen tundra. San Francisco was stifled offensively but thanks to some key special teams plays walked away with a 13-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Rams had to travel to Tampa to beat the defending Super Bowl Champions. Tom Brady battled back from a 27-3 deficit but his heroics weren't enough as Los Angeles won 30-27. Will San Francisco be able to extend their winning stream over Los Angeles?

    Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode of the Slumpbuster Podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest up to date information in the world of the NFL & NBA. The Brooklyn Nets acquired James Haden in January of 2021 forming a new dominant Big Three in the NBA. However, the trio of Harden, Irving and Durant has only played 16 games together in that time. Durant will ensure that number stays the same as he will be sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Will the Nets be able to win a NBA Finals in 2022 despite the lack of chemistry building opportunity? #KevinDurant A report came out last week stating Frank Vogel's job is being evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Vogel was the coach of the Lakers when they won their 17th NBA Championship in the NBA Bubble season. Currently the Lakers are treading water in the Western Conference, barely above a .500 record as we approach the All-Star break. Can Vogel survive an upcoming six game road trip? #Lakers Mike Mayock signed on to be the Las Vegas Raiders General Manager just prior to the 2019 season. Mayock left a job as the NFL Network's leading draft analyst and tied his ship to Jon Gruden. With Gruden fired in October, all eyes were on Mayock as the Raiders looked to change.

    Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode of the Slumpbuster Podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest up to date information in the world of the NFL & College Football. Andrew Luck has been in hibernation ever since his surprise retirement in 2019. Out of nowhere, Luck made a public appearance at the College Football National Championship between Alabama and Georgia. Luck's final moment in Lucas Oil Stadium was getting boo'd by his home crowd as news broke he was leaving football behind in the third week of the pre-season. Ju-Ju & Kyle debate fan entitlement vs an athletes commitment to the city. #AndrewLuck Several NFL head coaching jobs are available after the day infamously called Black Monday. The Miami Dolphins were probably the most surprising vacancy as Brian Flores has rebounded in his last two seasons there. This leaves head coach availability in Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago, New York, Minnesota and Jacksonville. Kyle gives his rankings of the open positions and we discuss likely candidates. #MiamiDolphins It is time for the NFL Super Wild Card Weekend to kickoff the Playoffs. The first game the guys preview is a trilogy fight between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. These two teams have split the season series and the Bills are a home favorite going in. Can coach Belichick guide his Patriots to a win? The Steelers and Eagles both enter their games as heavy underdogs. Will this be Big Ben's last ride as he enters Kansas City? Are the Buccaneers going to put a hurt on Jalen Hurts and the Eagles? We have another set of teams facing off for the third time around out of the NFC West. The Los Angeles Rams host the Arizona Cardinals. Will Kyler Murray or Matthew Stafford be able to shake-off their late season slide an get their team to the division round? #NFLPlayoffs Recorded: Wednesday, January 12, 2021 Music: "Flama" by Lalo Production Beats Host: Julian "Ju-Ju" Martinez Ig & Twitter: @jujutalkssports Kyle Ledbetter Take It Easy Podcast Ig: @kyle.ledbetter619 | Twitter: @CSM_MemeInsta Social Media: Ig: @slumpbusterpodcast | Twitter: @slumpbusterpod Website: https://www.theslumpbuster.com/

    Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL. With a wealth of head coaching vacancies in the NFL, the rumor mill is starting to churn. Jim Harbaugh just came off his most successful season with Michigan. Harbaugh's Wolverines finished only lost two games in 2021 and made their first ever college football playoff. While Harbaugh has cemented his name in the head coaching spot in Ann Arbor for years to come, could a deep pocketed NFL team lure him back to the pros? Las Vegas has put their name out there as a potential landing spot but would this make sense for the Raiders and Harbaugh? #Raiders (2:00) Antonio Brown has proven to be his own worst enemy since the end of the 2018 regular season. Brown since leaving the Steelers has had cups of coffee with the Patriots, Raiders and finally seemed to find a home in Tampa. Unfortunately, following a recent suspension things blew up for Brown and the Buccaneers. While trailing, Brown disrobed and stormed off the field. The fallout of this recent drama places Brown's career in jeopardy moving forward as he burns another bridge. #AntonioBrown (20:00) Ju-Ju dropped his most recent power rankings on the Slumpbuster instagram account but Kyle is not convinced of the Titans ranking. Are the Titans overrated or underrated as we enter the NFL's final week? (52:00) Before we close, the guys give their preview and predictions for the following five NFL games: New Orleans Saints -4.5 @ Atlanta Falcons (52:00) San Francisco 49ers +4.5 @ Los Angeles Rams (1:16:00) Dallas Cowboys -5.0 @ Philadelphia Eagles (1:32:00) Seattle Seahawks +6.5 @ Arizona Cardinals (1:42:00) Los Angels Chargers -3.0 @ Las Vegas Raiders (1:56:00) Enjoy the episode!

    Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL. The first year of the Steve Sarkisian era in Austin got off to a rocky start but things are looking up. One of the biggest moves in the transfer portal to this point is former top prospect Quinn Ewers leaving Ohio State to return home. Ewers looks to compete with Hudson Card for the Longhorns starting quarterback position. Ju-Ju gives his thoughts on the new Texas quarterback.  Urban Meyers time in Jacksonville was short lived and marred by distractions. The Jaguars decided they could no longer stand by Meyer after former Jags kicker Josh Lambo accused Meyer of kicking him during a pre-season practice. Meyer will leave Jacksonville and presumably the NFL with a 2-11 lifetime coaching record. Jacksonville offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell will take over interim coaching duties to conclude the season. Kyrie Irving has not stepped on a basketball court the entirety of the 2021-2022 NBA season. This was due to a public health law from the State of New York that would prevent the unvaccinated Irving from playing home games for the Brooklyn Nets. Initially the Nets took the stance that Irving would either be a full-time player or would not play for the Nets this season. After deliberation it would appear Brooklyn has caved and Irving will make his season debut as soon as next week. What does this say about Irving, the Nets and the title possibilities of several teams looking ahead? We conclude giving our week 15 NFL Predictions and Previews for the following games: New York Jets +9.5 @ Miami Dolphins Washington Football Team +6.0 @ Philadelphia Eagles New England Patriots +2.5 @ Indianapolis Colts Tennessee Titans +1.5 @ Pittsburgh Steelers Green Bay Packers -7.0 @ Baltimore Ravens Enjoy the Show!

Are the Wizards underrated and why the exclusion from the Top-10? #Wizards Speaking of rankings, the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released as such 1. George, 2. Michigan, 3. Alabama and 4. Cincinnati. The possibility of Cincinnati getting bumped for a potential Big-12 Champion Oklahoma State Cowboys looms as does Alabama making it with two losses. Michigan got the big victory against a rival but are they bound for an upset against Iowa? What will the final CFP poll look like on Bowl Selection Sunday? Aside from the rankings, college football had massive change at the head coaching position for two institutional powers. Lincoln Riley shocked the world Sunday when he announced he would be leaving to Southern California. Riley will get a decade long deal to be the coach at USC and looks to bring the program back to national relevance again for the first time since Pete Carroll left. Brian Kelly made a splash as well leaving the Fighting Irish and heading to LSU. LSU is merely two years removed from a national championship but experienced a falling out with Ed Ogeron.

Los Angeles came to terms with crypto.com on a $700M naming rights deal, replacing the existing Staples Center.  Kyle released his most recent NBA Power Rankings earlier this week.

Are we overrating the Los Angeles Lakers who continue to struggle with Lebron James off the court?  Texas football for the first time in program history lost a home game to the Kansas Jayhawks. This was also the first time that 30+ point underdog had won any road game in the Big-12 history.

Chris, Ju-Ju and Drew recap week eight of the NFL and what fantasy owners should know heading into the rest of the season with several key injuries. Quarterback: Kyler Murray has been electric throughout all of 2021. However, in the Thursday Night Football game against the Packers Murray injured his ankle. According to reports, Murray could be sidelines for 1-3 weeks. Jameis Winston on the other hand will be out the remainder of the season after suffering a ACL tear against his former team the Buccaneers. Who are some quarterbacks that can step in for these guys in your starting lineup? How worried are we about the struggling Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert? Should you trade Jalen Hurts now following his first truly bad game of the season? Running Backs: This segment is dominated by the biggest injury to the biggest star back. Derrick Henry suffered a broken foot that will likely keep him out the remainder of the regular season and potentially a Titans playoff run. Henry will be replaced by a tandem of Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols. Will either Peterson or McNichols be worth owning out of Tennessee? Who is the lead back in the Eagles backfield, Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott or Jordan Howard? Is Mark Ingram worth playing against the Falcons? Wide Receivers: Calvin Ridley shocked everyone when he delivered a cryptic message about stepping away from football for his mental health. There is a lot of speculation regarding Ridley's future in the NFL. Is there a wide receiver that can replace his production in Atlanta? Is Julio Jones a Top-36 receiver without Henry in the offense?

Enjoy our predictions and speculation surrounding a very active sports week. The sports weekend was buzzing after a couple popular internet target added cannon fodder to the arsenal. Patrick Mahomes brother Jackson, of TikTok fame, came under fire for an inappropriate TikTok at the Chiefs-Washington game. Washington deemed the game in tribute of the late Sean Taylor, painting Taylor's retired number in a VIP section of the stadium. Jackson, purposefully or not, decided to post a video of him dancing on the numbers. Was the Twitter outrage justified?  The second target of scorn this weekend was Seahawks safety Jamaal Adams. Adams made history by becoming the highest paid Safety in NFL history a year removed from being acquired for a huge haul by Seattle. Adams had a very memable moment when a potentially game altering interception bounced off his facemask in the Seattle-Pittsburgh game. Does Adams deserve this criticism of his game? We transition our talks in the National Basketball Association with our next segment. Ben Simmons surprised many when he showed up Philadelphia's training camp, albeit late. Simmons has been very vocal about his desire to play anywhere besides Philadelphia. Things escalated when a disinterested Simmons was told to leave 76ers practice by head coach Doc Rivers. This came after Simmons refused to participate in a drill Rivers asked him multiple times to join. Teammate Joel Embiid added gasoline to the fire with his post-practice press conference. What is the next steps between Philly and Simmons? Who will trade for the all-star point guard? We do a quick recap of college football before going NFL. Ed Orgeron just two seasons after winning a National Title at LSU will not be returning to Baton Rouge in 2022. This news broke after a scathing article with multiple sources was released by the Athletic. Who will be the next Tigers head football coach? Kyle Ledbetter correctly called the Purdue upset of Iowa, hear his thoughts and gloats of victory. Also, what is weirder to bring to a football game, a golf ball or a full bottle of yellow mustard?
