Nothing Personal with David Samson

Today's word of the day is 'phew' as thank God as in Los Angeles Dodgers are phewing themselves right now after Kenley Jansen almost blew Game 3 to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Joe Kelley came in the game for the Dodgers and he almost blew it. Let's talk about bullpens and the change that's come. We had Manny Machado get into verbal war with Brusdal Graterol. Cody Bellinger hit a home run and robbed a home run (0:06). What's going on with the New York Yankees? Problems and lots of them. Giancarlo Stanton is scorching Earth at the plate and it matters NADA. Tampa Bay Rays took Game 3 to go up 2-1 and things are looking grim for the Yankees (11:42). Why are so many rookies making their MLB debut in the playoffs? Let's discuss exactly why this is happening (20:33). Review - The Amazing Johnathan (33:30). We know there's been an outbreak with the Tennessee Titans, but could the NFL really force them to forfeit a game? Let's discuss. Rumors swirling that if they forfeit then the Buffalo Bills wouldn't get paid... I don't know about that. What will the NFL do (37:45)? #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'spaghettiOs" as in uh oh as in uh oh spaghettiO as in the NFL has a covid problem on its hands. Stephon Gilmore has tested positive for coronavirus following the Patriots and Chiefs game on Monday night. So now Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore are out. The Tennessee Titans went one day without a new positive test, but now on Wednesday we have two more positive tests. These are major issues in the league. What will Roger Goodell and the NFL do (0:06)? Raise your hand if you watched 11 or 12 hours of baseball yesterday. I did. What happened in the Marlins-Braves game that stood out? The Marlins poked the bear. Sandy Alcantara hit Ronald Acuna after he homered off him in the first inning. The Braves responded by letting the bats fly (11:22). Giancarlo Stanton has come alive in the postseason. Homer after homer after homer after homer after homer. BUT! Did Aaron Boone blow it before the game even started (21:07)? What meaningful thing happened in the San Diego Padres game? Mike Clevinger started and made it through just one inning before leaving with an injury. Uh oh (27:53). Review - Wonder Woman (35:17). Doc Rivers lasted one day without a job in the NBA. He's the new coach of the Philadelphia 76ers and the things he said at his introductory press conference were so ridiculous.

Today's word of the day is 'business' as in this show as in it's always business as in Bill O'Brien knew that getting fired was business. Why was he fired? A laundry list of reasons. He was the head coach and the GM. He traded away DeAndre Hopkins. He has no first or second round pick in 2021. The Texans are 0-4. Disaster (0:06). What's going on with the Miami Dolphins? They own the Texans first and second round picks in 2021 so should the tank continue? Seems like it. Why is Ryan Fitzpatrick the starter while Tua rides the bench... business (15:44). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me why the NBA Finals ratings are plummeting and if it's because the NBA has gone 'woke'. This is such a politicized topic that we need to break it down (24:50). Review - Top 5 James Bond movies (40:45). #waittosee

Doesn't look like it. So who is? Jerry Jones? What about the rest of the NFC East? The Philadelphia Eagles lead the division with a 1-2-1 record! The New York Giants have a real problem on their hands as well. What about the WTF? I mean... the WFT... STINK. But is this bad for the NFL? Nope (0:06).

Now it's time to give out some Divisional Round picks (41:00). Let's end the show with the best sports story of the weekend... Jalen Ramsey v. Golden Tate.

Today's word of the day is 'melee' as in a fight as in a brawl as in the Jets-Broncos game on Thursday night could have ended in one. Why? The New York Jets are a disaster. Six personal foul penalties. Two roughing the passer penalties. Gregg Williams as the Jets defensive coordinator. Adam Gase as the Jets head coach. A recipe for a sloppy, ugly, horrible game. Broncos head coach took offense to the way this game went down and snubbed Adam Gase of a postgame handshake. So now what happens (0:06)? LeBron James says he and Anthony Davis work so well because there's no jealousy. How important is it for superstar on your team to respect each other (12:15)? Let's talk about Fernando Tatis Jr of the San Diego Padres. Bat flips, home runs, amazing plays, and a bunch of swag... he saved the Padres season. The bigger discussion is how can MLB help make him the face of baseball (21:19). Clayton Kershaw just destroyed the Milwaukee Brewers last night. Has Kershaw exorcised his postseason demons? Not yet (29:31). Review - Little Monsters (33:00). Francisco Lindor had a quote that was made for Nothing Personal. When asked if Cleveland could afford him he said, "It's a billion dollar organization." (36:45) Welp.... Let's finish today's show with some fan favorites. #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'overstimulated' as in 8 playoff games and a finals game as in so much sports as in how do we watch it all!? Let's talk about how crazy of a sports day Wednesday actually was(0:06). Houston Astros advanced and Carlos Correa spoke to the haters. Not the right move (2:30). What about our pal, Trevor Bauer? What did he do? He pitched a gem, but he keeps doing things that rub people the wrong way (9:04). The last series I'd like to talk about is the Yankees-Indians matchup. What a disaster of a game last night. Not the game game, but the game length. 19 walks. A rain delay (13:00). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about having fans at the World Series. They wanted if this decision was just about money (17:11). Review - Thunder Road (25:00). Let's talk about the NBA Finals. Not the game. What was going on behind the scenes. The report was Doc Rivers was watching the game with Philadelphia 76ers top brass. Interesting. Allow me to explain (27:00). The Brooklyn Nets already seem like a bad, bad situation. Kyrie Irving had some things to say on Kevin Durant's new podcast (31:45). What happens when a team owner wants to be 'part of the process'... the Los Angeles Angels know all too well about this (34:50). We did not win Podcast of the Year Award, but we still love each one of you listeners. Thank you. Maybe next year? #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'flowchart' as in the NFL will update it's chart as in what is being decided is what we discussed yesterday. The Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers game will not be on Sunday, but could be on Monday or Tuesday after another positive test. No positives for the Minnesota Vikings players tested positive so that game will go on as planned on Sunday. Now we have some scheduling issues between the teams, the NFL, and the broadcast partners (0:06). How did Shane Bieber look in the postseason? He got rocked by the New York Yankees. Gerit Cole pitched a gem, and it was all over. This was always an option that was likely to happen in Game 1. What will happen with the Indians against Tanaka in Game 2 (5:26)? The Minnesota Twins are in a bad place. 17-straight playoff losses. How does a team overcome this (11:07)? The Chicago White Sox were the coldest team in MLB entering the postseason and it DID NOT MATTER. So what is the mentality right now in the postseason when facing elimination (17:01)? The NBA Finals begin tonight.. Heat v. Lakers, Pat Riley v. LeBron James... oh boy. Let's talk about this championship run from LeBron James and what this title would mean to him (22:07). NFL UPDATE! NFL UPDATE! It has come to our attention that the Titans game that could be played on Tuesday next week has a conflict in scheduling! Nashville SC has a home game Tuesday night in MLS. Who gets to play the game (25:55)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me what I thought about Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis comments on mask wearing situation (29:43). What's going on with Messi and Barcelona? Messi says it's water under the bridge and he was trying to help out his club when he asked for a release.... give me a break (36:18). Review - The first 2020 Presidential Debate. Did anyone win the debate (41:30)? #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'vision' as in I want to share my vision as in selling a vision to your team as in when you're the owner of a team you have a vision to win a title every year as in Steve Ballmer and the Los Angeles Clippers fired Doc Rivers after blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Denver Nuggets. Let's talk about what went wrong here and how Steve Ballmer handled this situation (0:06). BREAKING COVID NEWS! PUT YOUR MASK ON AND GET OUT OF THE HUDDLE! There is a coronavirus outbreak in the NFL right now inside the Tennessee Titans organizations. Three players and five staff tested positive and now everything is shut down. Titans played the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday so the Vikings shut down. So what happens next (12:09)? The Philadelphia Phillies failed. Bryce Harper failed. Joe Girardi failed. Matt Klentak failed. J.T. Realmuto is about to enter free agency. Is there anyway the Phillies can avoid a complete disaster? What happens on a team charter plane (19:37)? Well, we have an issue with the San Francisco 49ers and offensive coach Katie Sowers. Sowers sister went public saying it was ridiculous that her sister had to fly coach on the team charter while other coaches sat in first class. Let's talk about seating charts and how they work (27:19). Review - The Devil All The Time (34:15). MLB postseason is here and we got a good one tonight. The New York Yankees take on the Cleveland Indians and Gary Sanchez is not in the lineup. The Yankees say it's a 'catching decision'.... yea right. Let me explain this personal catcher decision (36:45). What else is happening in the playoffs? Josh Donaldson... the multi-million dollar man for the Minnesota Twins... not on the active roster... uh-oh (39:15). We'll end today with a list of wait to sees and how they went. #waittosee

Here's everything we learned from MLB regular season. The season was in jeopardy to and no one thought we'd have a season, but it's playoff time. When we look back on the 2020 season what will we most remember? Let's start with the fighting between MLB and MLBPA (0:06). What about the amount of games? Well, 60 games is too little, but 162 games may be too many (1:15). Players need Spring Training in the worst way (7:20). Who is the best value signing in the past couple of years? He plays for the Yankees (10:05). What about the Red Sox season? Now that Ron Roenicke lasted just one season... what will that team do (13:00)? What about the Phillies and Angels? Disaster (15:00). What was the biggest takeaway? We all missed baseball (17:45). Let's get to the Wild Card round predictions! Who will make it through (21:15)? #waittosee
