Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘suspense’ as in on the edge of your seat as in anticipation as in Kyle Shanahan has yet to name a starting QB for the San Francisco 49ers. It’s either overpaid Jimmy Garolopolo or 3rd overall pick Trey Lance. Shanahan said sorry, but not sorry! He knows who the starter is, but won’t be telling anyone soon. (10:45) The Philadelphia Phillies are in bad shape so Davilas Dombrowski did what he does best… fired people. Why were these moves made? Removing assistant general managers? Really? (27:00) Review: White Lotus. (29:55) The ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 have formed an alliance! A what?! The commissioners got together and said they would work with one another to try and block the SEC. But this is just a gentlemen’s agreement because we all know how much those work! (36:00) NPPOD. (37:48) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the Harry Kane/Tottenham transfer saga. Kane wants out of Tottenham, Spurs didn’t want him to leave. Kane is not leaving. Now what? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

nod to somebody. I always liked being a part of calling in the pitcher and telling them even though
