Summary

Today's word of the day is 'rogue' as in reports are out the NBA could shift start of 2020-21 season to Christmas Day. What happens to other leagues if they do this (0:06)? NFL schedule release is set for tonight so what goes into the making of one? Let's discuss (14:51). Tomorrow NBA commissioner Adam Silver will be holding a conference call with NBA players so let's role play! It's going to be the biggest Zoom call of all time (16:59). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about discussions of how a player plays before and after they sign a big contract. But from the front office perspective, since the player is valuable enough to be signed, are there circumstances under which they use the player differently after signing to minimize injury at the cost of wins if number of losses don't affect your playoff situation (34:12)? Review - The Player (42:02). MLBeard Challenge Day 53: Portland (43:40). #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.

Rogue. Nothing personal. Word of the day is rogue. The NBA may be going rogue, ladies and

0:13.9

gentlemen. They are thinking of switching their calendar. We've heard about that trying to figure

0:19.2

out how to finish their 2019, 20 season. And it's potential to be so delayed that the start of the

0:27.6

2021 season will not happen until Christmas day. That's the day that the NBA loves. They own it. They

0:35.4

think NBA on Christmas day. Never had players who necessarily liked playing on holidays. I always

0:41.3

wondered if football players liked playing on Thanksgiving. Always I guess the cowboys and lions.

0:48.2

I guess a lot of Thanksgiving games again. They always do. I wonder if they enjoy that.

0:53.1

So the NBA is just thinking about doing a schedule and it made me think about the reality of

0:58.1

schedule making within sports and what goes into it. Because it's quite a bit more complicated

1:04.8

than I think we we all realize when you're not in the game. And I'm thinking about schedules

1:09.9

today because of course today can't wait. Who's watching prime time. The NFL schedule will be

1:39.0

a lot of programming around that a lot of analysis of the schedule. And all I can say is that this

1:45.2

schedule is not definite. We know this. They already are planning for the possibility of starting

1:52.8

a couple weeks late into October. Potentially moving the Super Bowl back in rid of the pro bowl

1:58.0

week in between the championship series. The NFC and aFC championship and the Super Bowl.

2:04.6

All sorts of things up in the air. A lot of balls as though it's Ringling Brothers, Barnum Belly.

2:09.8

But how do these schedules happen? And I was having tremendous memories of the majorly
