Nothing Personal with David Samson

Today's word of the day is 'sizer' as in ring sizer as in the jingle jangle of the ring sizer as in the World Series is here and with that comes the championship ring. Let me tell you some good ring stories about the 2003 World Series ring we won (0:06). Tonight is Game 1 of the World Series; Clayton Kershaw vs Tyler Glasnow. How is this going to play out (5:35)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the Houston Astros enduring legacy following their loss in the ALCS. They also wanted to know about my thoughts on Jeff Luhnow going scorched Earth on the Astros in a recent interview (17:30). Review - Everybody's Everything (Lil Peep Documentary) (31:30). Big news came out about the next Presidential debate. The microphones are going to be muted while the other candidate speaks. This is important and necessary (38:15). Let's end today talking about what not to do on Zoom (43:00). #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'pennant' as in winning your league in MLB as in the World Series is now set (0:06). The Tampa Bay Rays held out the Houston Astros in 7 games. The Los Angeles Dodgers came back from a 3-1 deficit to stun the Atlanta Braves. So let's talk about this matchup. How did the Dodgers do it? What's the makeup of this team? Let me tell you some stories about the Dodgers roster. Who has the advantages in pitching, fielding, and batting? Review - West Wing Special (29:25). The Derek Jeter-led Miami Marlins have let go of President of Baseball Operations Mike Hill. I have some thoughts (35:45). #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'Barbra Streisand' as in memory as in not having one as in the Atlanta Braves came back from the 15-3 beatdown to absolutely smoke the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5. One of the most important traits of a good team is not having a memory. Clayton Kershaw was on the hill for the Dodgers and by the 6th inning the Atlanta Braves came alive (0:06). What's going on in the ALCS? Carlos Correa put his money where his mouth is and he hit a walkoff home run to extend the series. The Tampa Bay Rays now lead the series 3-2. Can the Astros do the near impossible ()? Review - Ava (). Ty Lue is set to be named the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers. He went from assistant on Doc Rivers staff to now the head man. Why did Steve Ballmer go this way with the hire ()? So You Wanna Talk To Samson. Someone asked me how I felt about the Cincinnati Bengals kicking a field goal to ruin the Baltimore Ravens shutout. This should have been a non-story but the Ravens defensive coordinator got angry. Boo hoo (). Players always say all they want to do is win. Le'Veon Bell has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs are an awful tenure with the New York Jets (). Let's end today talking about the Houston Rockets and the Daryl Morey divorce. He sent a tweet about Hong Kong, China lost its minds, the NBA lost billions of dollars, and this is the fallout. Morey 'stepped down' as Rockets GM, but that's not true. Was this the NBA's doing ()? #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'annihilation' as in the Dodgers bats are alive as in the Atlanta Braves allowed 11 first-inning runs to the Los Angeles Dodgers. What went wrong for the Braves? We knew the Los Angeles Dodgers were capable of doing something this great. Is this the spark the Dodgers needed or is this something the Braves will be able to move on from (0:06)? What about the ALCS? The Houston Astros win because of Jose Altuve. Maybe he doesn't have the yips (11:26)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me why there's no mercy rule in MLB. Should there be one? Absolutely not (14:35). Review - Hubie Halloween (25:30). Alabama head coach Nick Saban tested positive for COVID-19. What is the significance of this? What is the impact of coronavirus on college football right now (30:00)? The NFL has new cases on its hands. The Atlanta Falcons had two new positive tests and shut down their facility today. The game against the Minnesota Vikings is on as scheduled. Will the NFL bubble for the playoffs (37:55)? #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'yips' as in one of the worst things to happen in sports as in what's happening right now to Houston Astros 2B Jose Altuve. He had ZERO errors in the regular season and last night he had two terrible fielding errors and a bad running situation. What are the yips? What should the Houston Astros do with Altuve to help him (0:06)? What's happening in the National League? More and more problems for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw was scratched from Game 2 and they lost. The Atlanta Braves are up 2-0 and Kershaw may not be ready for Game 3 and hopeful for Game 4. This is as bad as it gets for the Dodgers (9:30). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the comments Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner made about his current ball club (15:00). Review - Crip Camp (26:30). J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS! Le'Veon Bell was released by the New York Jets last night. The team tried to trade him and couldn't. The Jets are a disaster. Adam Gase makes it another game. What is going on with sports teams in New York (33:50)? The Premier Leauge is going through some drama. Manchester United and Liverpool want to restructure the entire league and it's not good for small clubs (40:00). IT'S OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! ONE WHOLE YEAR WITH US AND IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU! THANK YOU! #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'scrutiny' as in what front offices in MLB are doing right now as in the Tampa Bay Rays are changing the game again. Can the Rays win the World Series? Of course. Will other teams try and become the Rays? Maybe. Are front offices around the league watching the Rays to see if this all works out? Absolutely (0:06). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about what's going on with the Boston Red Sox and if it could impact the team's payroll. If you don't know what's going on with the Boston Red Sox... here you go (18:26). Review - One More Orbit (29:40). San Diego Padres player Tommy Pham was stabbed while leaving a strip club. There was an argument by his car and he tried to intervene. He ended up in a hospital. Nightmare (32:25). Here's a big update on some wait to see updates that have been made throughout the year. I tell you if it happens, if it does i tell you, if it doesn't I tell you... accountability (38:45). #waittosee

Let's start today's show by remembering the life of Hall of Famer Joe Morgan. He died today at the age of 77. 10-time All-Star, two-time MVP, two-time World Series Champion... what a career and what a life..... (0:06) Today's word of the day is 'risk tolerance' as in how much risk is Jerry Jones willing to tolerate. Dak Prescott underwent surgery for a compound fracture of his ankle and his season is over. The Dallas Cowboys QB will miss the rest of the season... a season in which he is playing under the franchise tag, and not a long-term deal (3:48). BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! Rick Renteria has been fired by the Chicago White Sox. Very surprising news (14:03). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me what I thought about LeBron James legacy after winning his 4th title with three different teams. So let's talk about the GOAT discussion and where it stands today (20:20). Review - Emily In Paris (28:50). We're finally getting to the ALCS. The Tampa Bay Rays bullpen absolutely shut down the Houston Astros offense. What does it mean for the series (32:05)? What about in the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves (36:20)? We'll end today's show with some more NFL news because it never ends. The NFL has completely changed the schedule after more positive tests forced the league to postponed and reschedule games. Patriots DB Jason McCourty sounded off on the NFL and NFLPA. Does Roger Goodell or the NFL care about this (41:30)? #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'doughnut' as in 0 as in shutout as in what the Atlanta Braves have been able to do four times in five postseason games. The Braves shutout the Marlins to close up its NLDS series and advance to the NLCS to face the Los Angeles Dodgers. This was the best matchup for baseball fans. The two best teams all season will get to wrestle for a spot in the World Series. What does the front office do the day after your team has been eliminated from the postseason? It's an interesting conversation. Do you start to make moves? Do you wait and see? What happens? The Miami Marlins are asking themselves all of these questions right now. This was a strange season and the Marlins were able to make a little run, but what about 2021 (0:06)? Dwayne Haskins was benched by Ron Rivera. Why is this a worthy conversation? Let's talk about the reasons Rivera said that Haskins was benched. Not a great look for the head coach (26:29). Review - Red Dog (37:25). We've got Game 5 of Yankees-Rays tonight. This is it. The deciding game and Gerrit Cole is pitching on short rest for the first time in his career (40:30). We've got Game 5 in the NBA Finals tonight. LeBron going for ring number four. China is showing an NBA game for the first time in over a year! Will LBJ get the ring (44:20)? #waittosee
