Nothing Personal with David Samson

Today’s word of the day is ‘left off’ as in not on the team as in Sha’Carri Richardson, as we all know, was disqualified from the Olympics and suspended after a failed drug test for marijuana. She was given a 30-day suspension that would keep her from running in the 100m. But wait a minute! What about the 100m relays!? She could sit through the suspension and still relay... USATF said nope, sorry... you’re being left off that team. WHAT!? (14:25) The Chicago Cubs are a disaster right now. Absolutely dumpster fire. 2 weeks ago the the Cubs were in first in the NL Central. Now? The team has lost 11 straight games and are now 9 games back of the Brewers. (21:52) How are the Chicago White Sox doing? Injury after injury after injury and the team continues to win. (29:45) Review: The Tomorrow War. (34:10) Making trades is kind of like Fight Club. You don’t talk about players you want to trade away or not trade away. Don’t do it! Rockies manager Bud Black said his All Star pitcher German Marquez won’t be traded. (41:00) The Miami Marlins reportedly offered Starling Marte a $30M deal. How real is this deal? Does this mean Marte will stay a Marlin? Let’s discuss why this was leaked.

Today's word of the day is 'dinero' as in the green, the money, the cash flow. We all just want that dinero. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are back in the news again because they won't give up on their dream to buy the Mets. Even though Steve Cohen has gotten the exclusive right to buy the team. Why is this important? Because some of the things they said they would GUARANTEE if they bought the Mets were RIDICULOUS! Let me explain (0:06). Politicians sent letters to Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren and to the Big Ten presidents. I've dealt with a ton of politician letters in my time. Here's what happens (14:07). Leonard Fournette said for the first time in his career he has a QB to play with. I didn't appreciate him saying this. Not because it could be true, but because there's no need for it (24:00). What could be the biggest threat to an NFL season this year? Injuries. Same thing with MLB. I had told you listeners that MLB players weren't ready. I don't think NFL players are ready either (29:54). Review - Mulan (37:15). Let's end today with some NBA talk. How good are the Miami Heat? Did anyone see the Milwaukee Bucks going home this soon? We did here. Because the bubble is located in Upset City, USA (41:40). #waittosee

Today's word of the day is 'default' as in what happened to Novak Djokovic as in he got the boot from the U.S. Open for hitting accidentally hitting a line judge in the throat with a tennis ball (:06). This was the story of the sports weekend. It's been quite the summer for tennis bad boy. Will this hurt The Joker from catching Roger Federer? I need to address something that happened last Thursday. We were wrong to jump on a story that we thought was credible and it turned out to not be. We're referring to the Penn State athletic doctor and his report on covid-19. It seems like there was confusion on the public's part and we reported on that (10:10). The one thing I will say is this was not political. It was commentary on what was happening. Review - Love (18:45). What has happened to the New York Yankees (23:30)? They have become a complete disaster recently. Currently sitting at the 8-seed. S.O.S! IF this team doesn't make an expanded postseason...... What else happened in baseball this weekend? Max Fried, hurt. Eric Hosmer, hurt. Javy Baez is very upset with not being allowed to use the replay-review system during games. Just another weekend in MLB. So You Wanna Talk To Samson (31:30)!? Someone asked me how Nationals GM Mike Rizzo could possibly be thrown out of a game for not wearing a mask IN A STADIUM SUITE! Let's talk about umpire Joe West. WOOF! Let's finish today's show talking about Lionel Messi (42:45). He announced that he will be staying in Barcelona for at least this final season on his deal. Will he ever sign another deal with Barcelona again? #waittosee

Today’s word of the day is ‘insomnia’ as in counting sheep as in using Calm as in watching movies or reading as in not being able to get your brain to slow down to go to sleep. Who else has it? Who else was glued to the TV last night watching election updates? Going from channel to channel to channel trying to find something new. Trying to find a new update on what’s happening with our Presidential election. So where are we today (0:06)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about owners in sports and what issues in voting they actually care about (25:36). Review - Letters To You (39:35). Let’s end today talking about the NBA. There is a ton of drama about the when the season will start. It’s all about the money. Follow the money (43:15)! #waittosee

Today’s word of the day is ‘palindrome’ as in same forwards as backwards as in today’s date as in what are we talking about? Let’s get to women’s college basketball. Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese. Iowa. LSU. What a moment. What a night! But something Angel Reese said postgame was really upsetting. Let’s discuss. (13:00) NPPOD. We’ve got a no-hitter! First of the season! Ronel Blanco of the Astros! (21:35) Tony Clark’s pay was released. He’s made about $4 million last year. Is this important? Should we care? (32:35) Review: Apples Never Falls. (38:00) We have a major vote in Kansas City today. Will the Royals and Chiefs receive funding for stadiums? Vote yes or Vote no! (46:00) We have a shareholder fight at Disney! Get the gloves!
