Summary

Today's word of the day is '0.8%' as in the $500M Mike Bloomberg spent on ads for his failed campaign and also the amount of NFL players that will read the new proposed CBA (0:06). Mark Cuban was fined $500K by the NBA for berating officials and tweeting and yelling and being a clown. The NBA is mad and sent a 3-page letter addressing this all (0:47). Gerrit Cole gets lit up in his Spring Training debut with the Yankees and fans are losing their minds... why (6:00)? Chris Sale was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his pitching elbow, but guess what? He's going to need Tommy John surgery and this is why (8:00). The Clevelander has been closed at Marlins Park and I need to tell you all why that is (11:09). The Chicago White Sox have locked up 7 players in the past year so what does their future look like (14:18)? Review - Queen & Slim (20:26). TRADE ALERT! Al Michaels could be traded from NBC to ESPN to be paired up with Peyton Manning. Well, I've got some ideas on how this trade can be pulled off (The Bachelor to NBC, Al Michaels to ABC, maybe throw in Shonda Rhimes) (23:28). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? How do I feel about an ad-free ballpark. Los Angeles Angels fired the clubhouse manager for the visiting teams..why? Because he supposedly gave pine tar to opposing pitchers so they could cheat. Cheat (34:21)? Ha. HUGE game in the NBA tonight as the Lakers take on the Bucks - who's going to be MVP, LeBron or Giannis? #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
