Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘disastrous outcome’ as in Rob Manfred had said canceling games would be just that as in the first two series of the season have been canceled as in the players rejected the final offer from the owners. So here we are. Opening Day postponed. Missed games. Players not getting paid. Fighting. Arguing. Yelling. Screaming. Now where do we go? When do they meet again? Will a deal get done? Is this the worst it can get? (27:25) Review: Phantom Thread. (31:45) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Kyler Murray and his statement released by his agent. They wanted to know if the Cardinals are more likely to give him a new deal now. (37:40) NPPOD. (40:40) We have a battle in the WNBA right now. It’s the league vs the owner of the New York Liberty, Joe Tsai. He’s in BIG trouble for being too good to his players. He was fined $500K and almost had his team taken away… for chartering flights for his players! The horror! Violation of the CBA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
