Summary

Today's word of the day is '2021' as in MLB released the schedule for next season. This has never been done this early before. Why would they do it now? CASH MONEY (0:06). Big Ten made a major announcement on Thursday that they would move to a full conference-only schedule this Fall. How big of a deal is this (5:45)? Standby, while I give an update on Buster Posey electing to opt-out of the 2020 MLB season (11:32). Okay, back to college sports. The NCAA says it's no big deal because they're leaving everything up to each conference. They released a statement basically saying, "good luck." (15:12) Julian Edelman offered up a deal to DeSean Jackson after Jackson's anti-semitic posts on social media (18:46). Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is ready to release a documentary on Hitler, now, in 2020. What are we learning from everything that's going on in this new world (25:40)? Review - Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (31:24). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Newcastle United possibly getting new Saudi owners. What would I do if there were questionable buyers emerging, would I still sell (36:10)? #waittosee --------------------------- Nominate Nothing Personal with David Samson for the People's Choice Podcast Awards: http://podcastawards.com/app/signup/ 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
