Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘high character’ as in being a positive role model as in the best of the best as in the Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores says he’s not interested in Deshaun Watson because he’s not a good fit for the team. All reports say the Dolphins are in on a Watson trade, if possible. What’s happening here? (13:15) The Los Angeles Angels are tragic. The team is wasting not one, but two, generation talents. Mike Trout is possibly done for the year. He hasn’t played since May 17. He’s played one postseason game in a year. Shohei Ohtani is one of the most unique players of all time. Ohtani has 42 HR and he’s a top pitcher. What does it all mean if the team can’t win? (23:10) Review: Val. (27:10) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me an interesting question about cutting a player. NFL did roster cuts on Monday and let me explain what these conversations are like. (37:55) NPPOD. (39:25) A ‘fake’ online-only high school football team duped ESPN into getting a national television game against the best high school team in the country. How in the world did this happen? When you peel back some layers you can see how corrupt, how wrong, and how irresponsible the leader at Bishop Sycamore is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hi character, nothing personal word of the day for Tuesday, the last day of August. We are heading

0:56.5

into September, folks. We are two thirds done with 2021. The word of the day is high character,

1:03.9

high character, not a character who's high, a high character, a high character guy. That's a

1:10.7

buzzword in sports. We're looking for high character guys to fit into this clubhouse or into this

1:16.8

locker room. Leaders, I would call them leaders. I didn't like saying high character because

1:23.5

until you live with someone, how do you know whether they have a high character? You do your due

1:28.5

diligence. You speak to other teams. You speak to the players who know the players. Try to get

1:34.1

suggestions from your veteran players in terms of are they going to be a good fit in the clubhouse?

1:39.4

Are they not? I found that eight out of 10 times, they're not forthcoming with you. When you

bring in guys, you think are high character and they're medium to low character or sometimes no

1:49.2

character. It turns out that the wives are friends. You do your due diligence as best you can,

1:57.4

but in general, you are canoeing upstream like a salmon going to mate and it doesn't work out.

2:07.2

But you want to tell your fan base, yeah, we are really interested, especially now in this culture

2:14.0

of woke. You want to say that character matters. You want to make people believe that, make your

2:21.4

constituencies, your fans, your sponsors, et cetera. The Miami dolphins and every other football team
