Summary

Today's word of the day is 'hypermnesia' and it relates to all sports owners (0:06). Anthony Rendon joins Mike Trout in Anaheim, but if they don't add pitching, that's a pretty expensive playoff-less team (1:00). Now that the Dodgers have struck out on the biggest fish, who can they get now (8:44)? Biggest winners and losers of the baseball Winter Meetings (12:02). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about this Tom Brady to Miami rumor and we should all laugh together (17:03). NFL announced it'll do a "top down review" of the officiating and... yea, sure (20:37). Clinton Portis and some other ex-NFL players were charged with healthcare fraud (23:34). Review - Hustlers (and a bonus story about Jennifer Lopez) (29:11). MLB announced major changes to drug testing * lights joint * (33:11). Rays owner Stu Sternberg followed up some ridiculous plans with even more ridiculous plans (38:33). The Los Angeles Angels are not done signing big names... or are they? #waittosee To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
