Summary

Today's word of the day is 'unanimous' as in the voting process in the Big Ten as in college football was cancelled this fall in the conference and then un-cancelled after another vote by school presidents and chancellors. So what happened? What changed so much from the first vote that was 11-3 to NOT play and now 14-0 TO play (0:06). You know who's on vacation now? The Los Angeles Clippers are. What went wrong with that team? If I'm Clippers owner Steve Ballmer what am I doing today. Let's discuss (12:43). Review - Quincy (21:30). Dan McNeil was fired by 670 The Score after his comments about ESPN analyst and host Maria Taylor. Let's talk about Entercom's statement that was released about the firing. It was perfect. It's a good time to bring up freedom of speech and the consequences that come from it (25:15). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the MLB bubble. It has confirmed Texas and Southern California as the locations. What's the biggest takeaway from this (39:30)? #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.   Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson  To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/ To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

unanimous. Nothing personal word of the day for September 16, 2020 is unanimous. Yeah,

0:15.0

it happened. The big 10 remember we talked about the hot mic yesterday in Nebraska saying

0:21.8

there's going to be a big announcement. Well, the big announcement came. The big 10 is

0:26.0

back. That means football in Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Rutgers, 14 of the teams.

0:36.0

What happened? How did it work? They made a huge announcement. So it's not just that the

0:43.0

Nebraska leak happened. What happened is they put together this task force on returning to

0:49.0

the position. And when the presidents and chance winners voted 11 to three not to play, what they

0:56.0

didn't expect was the amount of pushback they got. We touched on it yesterday and we said

1:03.0

that it looks like they're going to have to give in. It looks like not because of the lawsuit from the

1:08.0

Nebraska players, not because of the phone call with the president, but the overall feeling that

1:38.0

chose to postpone false sports. And there's been some change and that change has made them able to

1:46.0

now change their vote. Otherwise, you wouldn't get a president of a university in the big 10 to go back on his

1:53.0

or her previous vote. There had to be a change to the status quo. We imagine what that change could be

2:00.0

when the Wisconsin Chancellor said yesterday that there's going to be better testing, better contact

2:04.0

tracing. We've made great strides setting up her change of vote. So when it was announced today,

2:12.0

I was not in the least bit surprised. But what was interesting is what the big 10 did.

2:19.0

They released a huge statement as though they were trying to explain why it is that you should
