Headline Sports with London Marq: Can Giants really sign Harper?; The waving of Bruce Irvine; Chinese fans love Cal basketball; Gold Gloves for the A’s Matt’s

washingtonpost.com photo: Former Washington National Bryce Harper turned down a $300 million deal from the Nats and is seeking employment elsewhere. The Giants are actively seeking Harper’s services and could strike up a deal.

On Headline Sports with London:

#1 How realistic is it that the San Francisco Giants will be able to sign free agent Bryce Harper?

#2 The San Francisco Giants tried to pull all the strings without a general manager. The position was filled when they hired Farhan Zaidi as they rebuild the team. In reality everyone knows the one pulls all the levers and ropes behind the curtain for the Giants player personnel is that ole wizard team vice president Brian Sabean.

#3 How big of a mistake was it for the Oakland Raiders in waving defensive end Bruce Irvin?

#4 The Cal Bears will be in Shanghai this Friday for their second game of the season against Yale on Friday. Fans in Shanghai have been flocking to see the Cal and Yale teams.

#5 The Oakland A’s Matt Olson and Matt Chapman each won Gold Gloves. This is first time any A’s first or third baseman have won in 12 years.

The topic on the show is the recent success of the Sacramento Kings, who are in second place and headed for first place, coming off their first victory in Atlanta since 2006 and added to their win streak at five straight. The streak ended on Sunday night against the Milwaukee Bucks who snapped their seven game win streak to the Boston Celtics.  The Kings have been getting great help from De’Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley III. Both have been able to run something the Kings didn’t see anything like this last season. Fox is expected to be the franchise player. Fox was the difference maker when he was at Kentucky. He wasn’t the three-point king, but he can handle the pick and roll just fine.

The Kings’ Willie Cauley-Stein has been great on defense, defending against the shot and getting some good defensive rebounds underneath, Buddy Hield has been the go-to on three-pointers during this successful run. Nemanja Bjelica has been able to get room on the floor to help on offense and great offensive assisting. Harry Giles and Skal Labissiere have not been getting very many minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic has been recovering just fine from last season’s injury and head coach Dave Joerger has been resetting the plays and now may have found the right combination to move the Kings from their predicted 30th place finish to having a contending season. Although it’s too early to tell, but what a surprising turn around it’s been.

On the Cal Bears Football podcast with Morris:

#1 The Cal Bears (5-4) got close, but couldn’t get another going late in Pullman in a 19-13 loss to Washington State University (8-1).

#2 WSU’s Aesop Winston Jr with 32 seconds remaining left caught a 10-yard pass to get Wazoo up and past Cal for the game winner to break a 13-13 tie.

#3 WSU head coach Mike Leach said it was like a war out there and he was glad his players stuck it out when it was tough.

#4 For quarterback Brandon McIlwain, another frustrating game. McIlwain, who said the Bears competed, and Cal could have won the game.

#5 Cal’s bowl chances are dimming. They need a win against one of the following: USC, Colorado, or Stanford.

Huskies hold off Cardinal on last-second interception; Stanford suffers second straight loss 27-23

Despite a late charge, Washington safety Taylor Rapp’s interception on the game’s final play secured a 27-23 Pac-12 football win over visiting Stanford Saturday.

An announced crowd of 69,069 watched Rapp make a leaping pick of Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello and take a knee in the end zone, allowing the Huskies (7-3 overall, 5-2 Pac-12) to remain in the thick of the conference race.

After Washington took a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, the Cardinal (5-4 overall, 3-3 Pac-12) rallied in the second half. Costello’s 33-yard scoring pass to Trenton Irwin with 3:24 remaining pulled Stanford to within 27-23, though Cardinal kicker Jet Toner missed the PAT attempt.

Washington caught a break on the Huskies’ next play, when Myles Gaskin fumbled at the end of a 10-yard run, and tight end Drew Sample recovered it at the Huskie 35. The Cardinal defense held, and Washington had to punt to Stanford, which started its last drive at its own 15 with 2:05 to play and no timeouts.

After Costello completed four straight passes, moving Stanford to the Huskie 35, he spiked the ball there with 10 seconds remaining. With two shots at the end zone, Costello’s first pass was incomplete; the second one was perfectly timed by Rapp, the Huskies’ third interception of the night.

Gaskin, the Huskies’ all-time leading rusher, gained 148 yards on 28 carries after returning from a shoulder injury.

Costello finished 29 of 43 for 347 passing yards, two touchdowns, and the three picks. Bryce Love carried 18 times for 71 yards, and Kaden Smith snared eight passes for 107 yards and a touchdown.

The Cardinal return home next Saturday to host Oregon State. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.

NHL podcast with Matt Harrington: Canucks continue to roll–hold onto first place with 18 points; Panthers-Jets split Helinski series; Coyotes win fifth straight–their best since 2013

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Photo credit: @theScoreNHL–The Florida Panthers goaltender Robert Luongo had a hot hand on Friday night in Helinski, stopping 32 Winnipeg Jet shots as the Panthers and Jets split a two-game series in Finland.

On the NHL podcast with Matt:

#1 The Vancouver Canucks in a back-and-forth game that was semi-reminiscent of an NHL All-Star game got a one-goal victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night. The Canucks’ Derek Pouloit got an overtime goal at 4:38 as the Canucks win 7-6. Right now, the Canucks lead the Pacific Division with 18 points.

#2 In the Helinski, Finland series between the Florida Panthers and the Winnipeg Jets, the Panthers got a split with a 4-2 win over the Jets on Friday night. The Panthers’ goaltender Roberto Luongo stopped 32 shots coming off a knee injury. The Panthers were down 2-1 and came through to win the game, picked up their first win in regulation and third win in 11 games.

#3 The Arizona Coyotes are hot. They picked up their fifth straight win in a one-goal victory over the Carolina Hurricanes when the Yotes’ Michael Grabner scored an overtime goal at 1:17. The win marks the Coyotes’ longest winning streak since October 26th to November 5th 2013.

#4 The NHL plan to play more games in Europe in Prague, Stockholm, Germany, and Switzerland. The question that has been raised most often does NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman intend to expand the NHL into one or multiply countries? The players are already exhausted from domestic travel in North America. Will adding a European team further tax the players?

#5 The San Jose Sharks (6-4-3) and Philadelphia Flyers (6-7-0) face off tonight at the SAP Center. The Sharks are coming off two straight losses to the New York Rangers in overtime and a three-goal loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night–all home ice losses.

On the San Jose Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The third period was brutal for the San Jose Sharks. Down 3-1, the Sharks couldn’t get any offense going as the Columbus Blue Jackets’ goalie Sergei Bobrovosky stopped 44 of 45 shots on Thursday night.

#2 The Jackets’ Bobrovosky got in front of everything, making him the top player of Thursday’s game.

#3 It was the first time San Jose lost in regulation since October 14th in New Jersey.

#4 The Sharks could have really took advantage with all the shots they had, but as Joe Pavelski said it didn’t feel like a 45 shots night.

#5 The Sharks host the Philadelphia Flyers Saturday night. Len sets up the contest.
