Summary

We’ve been nominated in two categories for the Sports Podcast Awards! Best Baseball Podcast! Best Sports Business Podcast! You can vote for us now: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/shortlist-category/ Today’s word of the day is ‘Cooperstown’ as in the Baseball Hall of Fame as in Adrian Beltre as in Joe Mauer as in Todd Helton as in not Billy Wagner or Gary Sheffield. A little surprising to see Helton and not Wagner, but there’s always next year! Except for Sheffield. (11:33) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me why the Milwaukee Bucks fired Adrian Griffin. Woof. And for Doc Rivers!? (21:33) NPPOD. (26:15) Review: Oscar Noms. (31:35) What is going on with the refs? We had the NBA come out and say there were 10 incorrect calls in the final 2 minutes of the Hornets-Timberwolves game! 10! (38:00) Todd Bowles met the media and spoke about the Buccaneers loss to the Lions. Why didn’t they call a timeout? (43:46) So the Miami Heat have finally traded Kyle Lowry for Damian Lillard! Just kidding! They got Terry Rozier from the Hornets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:56.1	favorite things to do is to talk to players about Hall of Fame because players say
