Summary

Today's word of the day is 'terminated' as in Vince McMahon and the XFL have fired everyone... all the staff.. all the players... see ya (0:06). UFC postponed UFC 249 (we knew this would happen) because Dana White said Disney brass called him and told him to shut it all down. I have a lot of thoughts about this so let's role play a call (4:58)! A new poll conducted by Seton Hall gave some very staggering insight into how fans would feel about going to game prior to a coronavirus vaccine being found (14:14). The MLB has another new rumor, leak, report about what could happen to get baseball back. I love the ideas that keep rolling out, but I'm not sure they've been good ones (23:37). Reports are out that Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert's relationship is 'not salvageable' after the whole coronavirus outbreak. You know how many teams can handle players disliking each other (30:25)? All of them! Review - Elephant (34:09). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the three most important things to understand to being a good team owner (40:07).
