Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘egregious’ as in terrible behavior as in Roger Goodell has come out and said the NFL appealed the decision of Deshaun Watson’s suspension because of the belief that Watson’s actions were as bad as it gets. Goodell and the NFL are back to pushing for a full year suspension. Who decides these suspensions now? Oh, that’s right… the NFL! (9:30) Chris Sale is out for the year again. He broke his wrist in a bike accident. Chris Sale signed a $145M extension and has pitched 48 innings in the past 3 years. Wonderful. (18:45) Something happened in the Pirates game that I have never seen before. (31:30) Review: Lincoln Lawyer. (34:50) Josh Hader blew his first save as a Padre. Gave up 3 runs. Did the Brewers win the trade!? (39:00) NPPOD. How about the Baltimore Orioles? Surprise! (44:55) Serena Williams is set to retire. What a legacy.

Agrigis is the nothing personal word of the day for Wednesday, August 10, 2022.

0:26.7

Agrigis is the word that Roger Gidele used to describe to Sean Watson's behavior.

0:33.1

We got to revisit the Deshaun Watson situation because I've had a feeling about how this is going

0:38.6

and Roger Gidele is doing everything he can to make me wrong.

0:43.8

It started with the hiring of Judge Robinson who ended up giving Deshaun Watson six games.

0:51.0

The Players Association said they weren't going to appeal and did not appeal.

0:55.6

For all of you thinking that Deshaun Watson could play week one for the Cleveland Browns,

0:59.3

he cannot. The six games is set. What the NFL did is appeal to itself to try to get

1:06.7

Deshaun Watson a bigger suspension and a bigger monetary fine.

1:11.9

Under the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL players and the NFL owners,

1:51.6

forming New Jersey, former New Jersey attorney general. And to me, it was just a matter of

2:00.2

process. Convincing the fans, convincing sponsors, convincing other owners that they were following

2:08.0

through on the process to appeal, but that it was a set decision that Gidele had when he brought

2:15.4

in Harvey that they wanted to move his suspension up to show that judge Robinson was too lenient,

2:23.7

even though I do believe and I will always believe that Gidele and Watson and the agents and union

2:30.0

knew that she was going to rule for six games. It was in the cards, right? They kept saying it could
