Nothing Personal with David Samson

Vince Carter still playing in the NBA is remarkable (:10). Let's talk about how rare what he's doing is. We have a full weekend of games to get to, but it all starts tonight. The Astros need to win Game 3 and I'll tell you how they do it (:55). If the Nationals want to win I'll tell you what they can't do. Houston GM Jeff Luhnow couldn't have messed up his press conference worse than he did (9:30). This front office had a chance to get things right and they didn't. The NBA and MLB are very similar and I'll explain how (18:00). It's time we talk about players and fans and the broken relationship they have - how can we fix it? The XFL isn't paying its' players any money and that's the first of many problems (28:30). On this day in 2003 I won a World Series (30:30). Let me tell you exactly how that day went. Review of the day is 'Sleepers' (36;20) Will the XFL play a full season? #Waittosee

We start today off recapping what happened in Game 2. Where did things go wrong for the Astros? (0:10)  Will the Nationals be able to keep things up at home? Dynasties are very hard to start and it's greed that usually tears them apart - Astros and Warriors could both fall this year(4:19). The MLB is investigating an umpire because of his tweets and this is exactly the type of thing Commissioner Manfred doesn't want this week (8:00). Public Relations teams kill stories, but what happens to the business side (13:52)? What are both teams doing on their day's off? Hint: Nothing fun. We have some new baseball managers in MLB and I'll break them all down for you (21:06). The Mets missed out on Joe Girardi (30:18). Hint: He was never getting that job. Review of the day is 'Iron Cowboy' (35:17).  Do I think the World Series is over? #waittosee

[0:07] With all the drama going on with the Astros front office I'll tell you what the Owners Suite was probably like.
