Summary

Today's word of the day is 'flowchart' as in the NFL will update it's chart as in what is being decided is what we discussed yesterday. The Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers game will not be on Sunday, but could be on Monday or Tuesday after another positive test. No positives for the Minnesota Vikings players tested positive so that game will go on as planned on Sunday. Now we have some scheduling issues between the teams, the NFL, and the broadcast partners (0:06). How did Shane Bieber look in the postseason? He got rocked by the New York Yankees. Gerit Cole pitched a gem, and it was all over. This was always an option that was likely to happen in Game 1. What will happen with the Indians against Tanaka in Game 2 (5:26)? The Minnesota Twins are in a bad place. 17-straight playoff losses. How does a team overcome this (11:07)? The Chicago White Sox were the coldest team in MLB entering the postseason and it DID NOT MATTER. So what is the mentality right now in the postseason when facing elimination (17:01)? The NBA Finals begin tonight.. Heat v. Lakers, Pat Riley v. LeBron James... oh boy. Let's talk about this championship run from LeBron James and what this title would mean to him (22:07). NFL UPDATE! NFL UPDATE! It has come to our attention that the Titans game that could be played on Tuesday next week has a conflict in scheduling! Nashville SC has a home game Tuesday night in MLS. Who gets to play the game (25:55)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me what I thought about Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis comments on mask wearing situation (29:43). What's going on with Messi and Barcelona? Messi says it's water under the bridge and he was trying to help out his club when he asked for a release.... give me a break (36:18). Review - The first 2020 Presidential Debate. Did anyone win the debate (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.

0:00.0	There you go. There you go.
0:07.0	Flow chart. Nothing personal. Word of the day is flow chart. Yesterday we talked about
0:12.1	the flow chart of decisions that the National Football League would have to make with the
0:17.0	positive tests for the Tennessee Titans. They had three players test positive plus five
0:21.2	staff members yesterday. We talked about that Roger Gidele needed to make some decisions
0:27.5	and today he has. He went down the flow chart and here's where he ended up. We're playing
0:34.1	football. Word came out that they're postponing Sunday's game. That's not big news. We knew
0:41.0	that was going to happen. They're looking to play it either Monday or Tuesday. That
0:47.2	was the part of the flow chart where Roger Gidele realized that having two teams not play
0:52.2	when you can't play a double header. I guess they could play like a three quarter game
0:58.6	and then another three quarter game like the baseball play seven any games. No, not going
1:03.6	to happen. So they can't do double headers. They can't somehow create off days because
1:09.6	teams don't have them. They don't want to go into the week. It's like saving the week
1:14.6	after the championship series in case something else really bad happens. So the only possible
1:20.2	option even though word came out today that another Titans player attested positive. This
1:26.8	is flowing exactly like it did with the Marlins in the cartels. It started with three then
1:30.4	it went to four and then on and on and on. Maybe it will not happen with the Titans. That's
1:34.8	the hope. But the reality is that they are going to find a way to get the game in this week.
1:43.3	So the reports are it's going to be Monday or it's going to be Tuesday. Interestingly enough,
1:48.4	it's not as though the conversation with the broadcast network is going to be so difficult.
1:54.2	So they call up their broadcast partners and say, Hey, you know, we're going to give
1:57.7	another national game. Do you have any windows in your TV schedule? Well, there's a lot of
