Summary

Today's word of the day is 'marginalize' as in to treat as insignificant or peripheral as in what MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said about this season's postseason format. Why would he say that? This postseason was expanded to 16 teams, but it won't be like that next season. Manfred said they spoke about 14 teams for a 'regular' year. What about the World Series? Manfred said he wants fans in the stands (0:06). What's happening in the NBA? Not on the court, I'm talking off the court. Adam Silver spoke on Tuesday and said the league likely won't start until January 2021 now. One of the biggest threats to the NBA bubble is not just covid, but also the impact on the mental health of the players. This is why the league cannot afford a bubble again for a full season (13:05). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the Denver Nuggets-Los Angeles Lakers series. They wanted to know how critical the Game 3 win was for the Nuggets (21:00). Review - A Beautiful Planet (30:00). Let's talk about Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. First it was his comments on Tom Brady. Now it's his comments on Rob Gronkowski. What have we learned about this situation (34:20)? We'll end today talking about masks again. The NFL fined more coaches for not wearing masks properly. The total money fined is now at $1.75M in ONE WEEKEND alone! Will this continue (41:35)? #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/ https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

Marginalize. Nothing personal word of the day. September 23rd, 2020 is marginalize.

0:14.4

Marginalize means when you treat something or someone as insignificant or peripheral.

0:23.6

You've been talking a lot in 2020. It's really been going on for decades or centuries. Talking

0:30.6

about marginalizing people. Actions get marginalized. What about at work? Do you ever feel

0:39.0

marginalized at work? When you think you're doing a lot, you think that you're a team player

0:45.9

and your work is marginalized. You're not recognized. You don't get a big enough bonus or

0:50.3

a salary increase. You don't think you're paid enough. You say to yourself and you say

0:54.7

to your boss, I feel like I'm being marginalized. I'm you choosing that word of the day today

1:02.6

as Koke and I were talking about the show last night in this morning. Because when you use

1:08.5

it, it's a pretty serious word, especially in this day and age, I think. There's nothing

1:13.7

worse than marginalizing a group of people. Rob Manford met the media, gave an interview,

1:23.9

and talked about several things going on in Major League Baseball, all of which are interesting.

1:31.1

And he used the word marginalize in a way that isn't appropriate in my mind. However, telling

1:40.8

in terms of what the future is of baseball and the playoffs, which start, by the way,

1:47.1

six days from today. So if you're behind on nothing personal, you may be listening to this

1:52.2

game, to this series, if you will, the day the playoffs starts, it's parent 29th. So the

2:02.4

quote that Rob Manford used, he was talking about playoffs. This has been a huge topic

2:09.6

of conversation, both during the shutdown within baseball. And since the 60 game MLBCs

2:16.4

and started as it's been a rush to the playoffs, where my view has been the expanded playoffs,

2:22.8

they don't water down the product. They do make for an exciting finish in the National League

2:28.4

right now. You've got four or five teams, six teams, mine for four spots, all within a

2:32.8

game of each other, a game and a half of each other. And when the playoffs were announced
