Summary

Today's word of the day is 'witness' as in Darren Collison says no to the Lakers and Clippers to stay a Jehovah's Witness (0:06). Let's break down every single detail we know about the Mookie Betts trade (1:15). First up is the Dodgers part of the trade. The Red Sox didn't want this trade to happen before because of the Twins pitcher they would have received... who is now going to the Dodgers. Justin Turner shares his thoughts on the trade via Twitter and I need to laugh at this (14:10). The Dodgers-Angels trade for Joc Pederson and Ross Stripling fell through and here is why (15:53). Did a Houston Astros intern start the sign-stealing scandal (20:54)? Time for some codebreaking and dark arts talk. Oscars! Oscars! Oscars! I talk everything that happened during the Academy Awards including the big night for Parasite, how my predictions went, and best/worst moments of the night (31:06). How did the XFL do on it's opening weekend and how do I feel Week 2 will go? #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:07.0	Witness nothing personal word of the day for this Monday February 10th and I don't
0:12.6	mean Harrison Ford. I'm not talking Kelly McGillis. I'm talking Jehovah. Jehovah's
0:18.1	Witness as in Darren Collison former basketball player who's earned 43
0:23.9	million dollars in his career. He chose to not sign with the Lakers or the
0:29.9	Clippers because he wanted to keep spreading the word, keeping the faith,
0:34.2	spreading the faith. Whatever words he used, he wants to knock on doors. I think
0:39.8	it's like Book of Mormon. My point is this, Darren. You could make another 10
0:45.0	million dollars. All you have to do is play half a season and you could donate
0:49.3	all of it to Jehovah's Witness. You could be the greatest donor in the history
0:55.0	of the movement. Why wouldn't you play the top two seeds in the Western
1:00.2	conference want you? You have an opportunity to guarantee yourself a spot in
1:04.4	the conference championships, maybe even in the NBA finals and have 10 million
1:08.6	dollars. All to give to Jehovah. I would do that if I could be a witness. I'm
1:15.3	tired of Mookie Betstrade. I'm so tired of it that I'm only going to spend 12
1:20.4	minutes discussing it because more layers keep happening. And I've seen it
1:25.6	before as an executive, but for whatever reason, it's getting a ton of attention
1:29.2	right now. So I want to explain to you and everyone out there. If you're watching
1:33.3	on CBS sports HQ, if you're downloading and listening to nothing personal, let
1:38.6	me tell you, number one, Mookie Betst is a Boston Red Sox player. Let's start with
1:44.4	that. Number two, David Price is not a Los Angeles Dodger. Number three,
