Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘knock’ as a little love tap as a little smack on the helmet as in Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians was fined $50K for smacking one of his players in the helmet. Arians said he was trying to get his player away from an Eagles player so he didn’t do something dumb. It wasn’t the best optics, but it wasn’t the worst either. With everything that’s happened with Antonio Brown this isn’t great. Will the NFL fine stick for “conduct unbecoming of an NFL coach”? (8:45) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the University of Michigan having to pay $490M to victims of sexual abuse, but will not be involved in distribution. They wanted to know if this was normal. Just a horrible story. (19:55) Review: Eternals. (23:30) MLB Lockout Update: The players’ are going to be responding to ownership very soon. Everything has been quiet since the owners gave the Union its latest economic proposal. What do we think the players will ask for? (29:30) The Las Vegas Raiders are in an interesting place right now. The NFL asked for the Jon Gruden to be dismissed. The Raiders need a new coach and just interviewed the interim head coach for the job. The Raiders need a new GM. Mark Davis has some work to do. (37:10) NPPOD. The Lakers stink. Absolutely stink. Blew a lead to the Pacers in the 4th quarter. Frank Vogel is still the coach. Russell Westbrook got benched. (40:30) It’s the one year anniversary of me having contracting covid. Still can’t smell. Still can’t taste things. Life has been weird. Learn more about your ad choices.
