Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘Wily’ as Wily coyote as in the cartoon as in the Arizona Coyotes are being run like a cartoon. What are we talking about? Well The Athletic released a pretty damning report about the Coyotes and how the NHL is run by Alex Meruelo. Simply put… it’s been a disaster. Let’s break down this situation in parts: the allegations, how to run an organization, how the organization responds. (18:38) Steve Cohen has more drama going on with the New York Mets. After firing new GM Jared Porter for sexual harassment against a journalist, but what the team did in the dark was just as bad. The team fired hitting performance coach Ryan Ellis after three women accused him of sexual harassment… but the team did this one quietly. (26:43) White Sox spring training has started. The team has high hopes and GM Rick Hahn is now on record saying championship or bust. Woof. And new manager Tony La Russa says he regrets his DUI… sounds similar to that time in Jupiter in 2007. (34:19) Review: The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. (36:18) NPPOD (37:33) SYWTTS - Someone asked me what I thought about Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms publicly begging fans to NOT come to the city for NBA All Star weekend. (42:25) Minor league realignment and what it means for top prospects. #waittosee Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	New Year, new me. Nah. I'm fine just the way I am. Doing the things I love. Like enjoying
0:07.7	a latte on the bus with some music or on a walk with a friend. My only resolution is
0:14.8	to enjoy more of what I love. Like switching up my usual with oat, soy, almond or coconut.
0:22.0	All delicious non-dairy alternatives available at Starbucks. For no extra charge. While stocks
0:27.9	last subject to availability. Wiley. Nothing personal word of the day. February 17th. We're a little
0:49.9	late today. It's been that kind of day. You can read the herald story with what I was doing earlier
0:55.4	today. That really time to talk about it quite yet. But when we do, it'll be fun. But the word
1:01.2	today is Wiley. My favorite cartoon character. It used to be Scooby Doo. I love the super friends.
1:09.1	But the number one is the Bugs Bunny Roadruner Hour. And just you can add me at David P. Samson
1:15.4	if you disagree. And if you don't know what the Bugs Bunny Roadruner Hour is, then you haven't
1:19.1	lived. I don't like when people say that because it's maybe it's your age. Maybe you just don't
1:23.5	have an opportunity to know what the Bugs Bunny Roadruner Hour is. But the Roadrunner is chased
1:28.6	incessantly by Wiley, E. Coyote. I keep a bunch of pictures on my phone of Wiley Coyote. He's the guy,
1:35.4	the coyote, the guy, the coyote who sort of holds up his umbrella when the sky's falling and
1:40.6	still crushes him. Chase is the road runner off a cliff. And he falls down. Wiley Coyote, I think
1:48.0	dies 10 times each Bugs Bunny Roadruner Hour. But Wiley, E. Coyote, I couldn't make it NHL,
1:56.2	right? That wouldn't be a good word of the day. We don't talk a lot of hockey here. I wish we did
1:59.8	talk a little more. I love hockey. I love playoff hockey. I love game seven playoff hockey.
2:04.6	I love game seven overtime playoff hockey better than any other sport playoff moment. Over time
2:12.1	in the playoff scenario. But our story today is about those Wiley Coyotes in the desert.
2:23.4	Koke and I were doing what we do looking around, reading a bunch of stuff, talking about
2:31.1	what are people talking about? What's the athletic doing today? Let's take a look. Uh oh.
