Summary

Today's word of the day is 'holiday' as in MLB testing was a mess because coronavirus tests couldn't be done on July 4th. Teams are mad. Players are mad. GMs are mad. How did we get here and will it ruin baseball before it starts? What's going to happen with the players who have chosen to opt-out? Could they opt back in now? MLB needed a deadline and it failed (0:06). The Washington Redskins are in the news with a possible name-change on the horizon. That isn't the news. Daniel Snyder is the news. The three minority owners of the Redskins wanting to sell is the news. And you know why that's the news... MONEY (20:35). What will this mean for the Atlanta Braves or the Cleveland Indians? Well the Braves released a ridiculous statement about why the won't change their name (29:30). Review - Hamilton (33:10). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me if I could explain the Covid injured list in MLB and whether teams could use that list to their advantage (36:50). #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:00.0	It's a nothing personal word of the day. It's not the song by Madonna, which I love by
0:13.7	the way. Holiday, hey, it would be so nice. It's not the movie which I enjoyed from 2006
0:21.2	with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law and Kate Winslet. That was a good movie. No, that's not
0:28.7	why holidays the word of the day. Nothing personal is celebrating July 4th. No, that's not why either.
0:38.8	Holiday, do you know when you send a FedEx and you have to check the box that says Saturday delivery
0:48.8	or standard or rush it overnight? Today, holiday, can you imagine as we are sitting here today
1:04.7	that there are major league baseball teams who are not conducting spring training workouts
1:13.5	because the tests that they took for COVID-19 have not been processed yet by elder cunning ham in Utah
1:26.2	and the results sent back to the teams because of a holiday? Because FedEx doesn't pick up on holidays,
1:35.1	yes they do. Because people forgot to check the box on the FedEx slip maybe because there's total
1:44.0	mass chaos and disorganization guaranteed. Background, testing, we've heard that. I mean, I've talked
1:55.6	about it non-stop. The baseball is trying to come back. Regular season starts July 23rd. That is
2:03.9	only in 17 days for teams play. Of course, we don't know that because the schedule has not been
2:12.4	released until 6 p.m. tonight, July 6th. You've heard rumors. Do you know why MLB is doing that? By the
2:19.8	way, Coke, a total side note, not in the rundown. MLB is releasing the schedule in a show, a special
2:26.1	show tonight at 6 p.m. Trying to do it like the NFL schedule reveal or the NBA, what a big news it
2:33.4	will be. So it was supposed to come out in the morning and then they decided that MLB network is
2:36.5	going to make it a show and it's got a sponsor. Coincidentally, it's the sponsor camping world
2:43.6	who is sponsoring summer camp, which is what they're calling spring training part D. I call the part
2:52.1	summer camp. There's nothing campy about this. But that said, summer camp presented by camping
2:59.2	now the schedule reveal sponsored by camping world as part of its overall package. I assure you
3:05.6	that's a little added value for them, not exactly paying more money in that sponsorship deal to get
