Summary

Let's start today's show by remembering the life of Hall of Famer Joe Morgan. He died today at the age of 77. 10-time All-Star, two-time MVP, two-time World Series Champion... what a career and what a life..... (0:06) Today's word of the day is 'risk tolerance' as in how much risk is Jerry Jones willing to tolerate. Dak Prescott underwent surgery for a compound fracture of his ankle and his season is over. The Dallas Cowboys QB will miss the rest of the season... a season in which he is playing under the franchise tag, and not a long-term deal (3:48). BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! Rick Renteria has been fired by the Chicago White Sox. Very surprising news (14:03). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me what I thought about LeBron James legacy after winning his 4th title with three different teams. So let's talk about the GOAT discussion and where it stands today (20:20). Review - Emily In Paris (28:50). We're finally getting to the ALCS. The Tampa Bay Rays bullpen absolutely shut down the Houston Astros offense. What does it mean for the series (32:05)? What about in the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves (36:20)? We'll end today's show with some more NFL news because it never ends. The NFL has completely changed the schedule after more positive tests forced the league to postponed and reschedule games. Patriots DB Jason McCourty sounded off on the NFL and NFLPA. Does Roger Goodell or the NFL care about this (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	And very sad breaking news today. Joe Morgan has passed away. Joe Morgan was and is the
0:15.5	greatest second baseman post integration of all time. 77 years old. Some of you may
0:21.9	only know him. Believe it or not, as an announcer, he teamed with John Miller for 21 years
0:28.4	on ESPN, calling games Sunday night baseball. I knew Joe Morgan as Tony Perez's teammate
0:35.7	in the big red machine. I have a nickname Sparky given to me by Jack McKin. Sparky Anderson
0:43.2	was the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the big red machine. Tony Perez was a special
0:47.7	assistant to me for 16 years in Florida. And we talked a lot about his teams in Cincinnati,
0:55.7	the championships they won in 1975 and 1976. And Tony Perez would always tell me that Joe
1:02.7	Morgan was the glue that held that team together. It's hard to repeat. We know there hasn't
1:07.2	been a repeat champion since the Yankees in 98 99 in 2000. The reds were a dynasty. And
1:15.3	Joe Morgan along with Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, remember George Foster. And he won a silver
1:24.9	slugger. So he could hit. He won gold gloves. Five of them. He could field. He was the national
1:33.5	league MVP. The two years, the reds won the championship in 75 and 76. You're not talking
1:41.3	about an ordinary player. You're talking about an extraordinary hall of fame player. I had
1:48.8	the chance so many times to meet Joe Morgan. He and I saw eye to eye. He was not a big guy.
1:53.9	He was actually a little taller than Jose Altuve and only an inch or two taller than I. But
2:00.9	he had this presence when he would walk in a room and the glee that he would feel when
2:06.0	he would see Tony. It's like seen an old friend. It's like putting on an old comfortable
2:10.3	pair of slippers or pajamas, thinking back to the way baseball was. Those guys who played
2:16.4	for that big red machine, they did everything right. Dave Conceptsion. And they would watch
2:22.6	today's baseball and they'd wonder why you couldn't drive a runner in with a man on third under
2:27.5	one out. Why you couldn't sacrifice a player over put a ball and play. They didn't quite understand
