Summary

Today's word of the day is '23' as in 23 votes needed as in Steve Cohen will be the new owner of the New York Mets if he gets 23 votes from MLB owners. So let's talk about this deal. What will change if anything with the Mets (0:06)? MLB has cancelled the General Manager's Meetings this winter and the Winter Meetings will likely be cancelled too. Is this a big deal for baseball? No (10:46). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me what I thought about Bruce Arian's comments on Tom Brady. They wanted to know if this sort of public criticism would work on Tom Brady (18:28). Review - The Social Dilemma (27:45). We'd like to take some time to update on my 'wait to see' observations (37:35). The Big Ten is starting to get on my nerves. The Presidents were supposed to meet together and vote on trying to get the season back. Now that the season has started and other conferences are playing the Big Ten feels left out. What happens next (41:30)? #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.

to be approved as a new owner and baseball. Except the Metz have one of those votes and I bet

I know which way Fred will pond the control person the Metz is going to vote. So instead

0:34.8

of 23 of 30, you actually need 22 out of 29. Nothing personal. Word of the day is 22. As

in votes needed in addition to Mr. Fred will pond for Steve Cohn to take over as owner

0:50.1

of New York, New York Metz. Word came out yesterday that an agreement had been reached. Lots

0:57.6

of rumors that deal was handled by Allen and company and that's from Bank led by the great.

Remember the player Steve Greenberg. Except that may not be his name. Steve Greenberg is the

banker. His father was the player. Oh my God, Coco. I'm having a senior moment. What is

1:56.8

But none of that matters. What matters is that Metz fans are rejoicing in the streets. They're
