Summary

Today's word of the day is 'Yogi' as in Yogi Berra as in it ain't over til it's over as in the Tampa Bay Rays are back in the series after winning Game 2 of the World Series. How'd the Rays get it done? Blake Snell shut down the Los Angeles Dodgers for majority of the game. The Dodgers got some runs back on the board, but it wasn't enough. The Rays unlikely star of the game was Brandon Lowe, who was 4-for-52 entering the game from the plate. Now that the series is tied 1-1, what is each team talking about in the clubhouse (0:06)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about what's going on at LSU right now. On Wednesday the school announced self-imposed penalties after an NCAA investigation into improper benefits. The question posed to me was - do self-imposed penalties work? Hmm (15:34). Review - The Gentlemen (27:30). Ryan Fitzpatrick has been benched by the Miami Dolphins so that Tua Tagovailoa can play. The Dolphins are 3-3 on the season and enter a bye week. Let's read into Fitzpatrick's quotes about his feelings toward getting benched (30:20). Stan Van Gundy will be the new head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans. This is big news for Zion Williamson. But, here's the real story in my eyes. How could Van Gundy work for someone like Gayle Benson (34:25)? WNBA Seattle Storm owners have gone public in endorsing Biden/Harris. A very rare move in sports. Was going public here the right bid decision (42:35)? #waittosee --------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

1:28.0	to stick their finger right in the hole, except there was game two to play. You have to win four.
1:34.3	Blake Snell takes the mound. Remember Blake Snell, the siding award winner from 2018.

1:43.2	series. Blake Snell became famous for playing video games during COVID during the pandemic. Blake
1:50.3	Snell became famous for walking off the mound and saying, what the f for we doing? Well,
1:56.5	Blake Snell took the mound for game two. First inning, no hits. Second inning, no hits. Third inning,
2:07.2	still no hits. Fourth inning, no hits. We're watching the game in CBS Sports HQ. We did a pregame show.
2:14.0	We're saying to ourselves, we got to go up. We got to go live. We could have a no hitter through five
2:18.4	innings in the world series. Hurry up, check who are the last no hitters in the world series. Well,
