Summary

Today's word of the day is 'face' as in Tony Clark and Rob Manfred sat down for a face-to-face (or mask-to-mask) conversation to try and restart negotiations. Last night it was reported that there was a deal and then it was reported that there wasn't a deal. What went wrong (0:06)? Dr. Fauci addressed his thoughts and concerns on the NFL returning this fall. It took the NFL less than an hour to respond to him. Will there be football (14:55)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me if the risks of the negotiations/CBA/short season on the long term outlook of MLB (23:19). Review - Dave Chappelle 8:46 (32:15). MLBeard Challenge Day 95: Camillus House (36:10). LaMelo Ball lost out on his bid to buy an Aussie professional basketball team. Here's what everyone should learn from that. #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/ Learn more about your ad choices.
