Today’s word of the day is ‘tomorrow’ as in NFL Draft as in first round as in Shedeur Sanders as in not selected. That’s right, Shedeur dropped out of the first round. Wow. The Jaguars traded up for Travis Hunter and gave the Browns a massive trade haul. The Browns need to rebuild. The Knicks got to escape with the win over the Pistons in Game 3. They take a 2-1 series lead and regain the home-court advantage. Another update on the NBA in Europe. The Euroleague is not too thrilled about the NBA trying to step on its European toes. Review: North of North. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Padres manager Mike Shildt saying he wants two bags at first base. Hmmm. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘amazin’ as in Mets as in Pete Alonso as in Francisco Lindor as in Juan Soto as in Steve Cohen as in best record in baseball. Can you believe how hot the Mets have been? Soto has struggled at the plate. But Lindor and Alonso are on fire! And let’s talk about this pitching! Blake Snell had a setback. Uh oh. But the Dodgers say they are NOT worried about it. NPPOD. Review: Curious Case of Benjamin Button. What is with the Shedeur Sanders hate right now? Every draft there is a player that falls. Every year there’s a player that gets ripped right before the draft. Why? Why are the Angels playing at 6:29 PT tonight? Why such a weird number?

Today’s word of the day is ‘commissioner’ as in Rob Manfred as in Adam Silver as in MLB as in NBA. Let’s start with baseball and what Rob had to say. He brought up expansion and salary caps and softball. What does it all mean? Adam Silver then took the stage and he had some things to say: expansion, NBA Europe. Review: Number One on the Call Sheet. NBA playoffs are in full swing. The Lakers bounced back! Luka and LeBron were not going down 0-2. The Thunder and Grizzlies series is not a fair matchup. The Pacers and Bucks do not like each other and it shows. Anthony Edwards keeps getting fined. He’s up to $370,000 in fines this year. Is this form of punishment just not working? NPPOD. The NFL draft is tomorrow from Green Bay! But we’ll focus on the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones teased a trade, but that was it. What does that mean?

Today’s word of the day is ‘flop’ as in flail as in faking as in Knicks as in Pistons as in Jalen Brunson as in Mikel Bridges as in Karl-Anthony Towns. The Knicks lost a close one last night to the Pistons at The Garden. The internet is all over Brunson for flopping. Bridges and Towns were bad. The Pistons got its first playoff win since 2008! Kawhi Leonard is healthy and the Clippers have a chance. This was the plan. The only way they could contend against the Nuggets and Jokic is Leonard. NPPOD. Nico Harrison sat in front of the cameras yesterday and had to talk. The things he said were just mind boggling. The miscalculation of the Luka trade by he and Patrick Dumont was… something. Review: Becoming Led-Zeppelin. The Academy announced a change to voting. All voters must watch the movies. How about that? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Spencer Strider and his hamstring injury and what will happen to the Braves now.

We start today with the sudden death of Pope Francis at the age of 88. Just yesterday he sat down with Vice President J.D. Vance, made appearances on Easter Sunday.

Today’s word of the day is ‘drubbing’ as in blowout as in huge win as in NBA Playoffs. The Thunder won by 51. The Nuggets won by 2. 7 of the 8 Game 1s were double-digits. Woof! Jazz Chisholm found himself in some trouble for tweeting from the clubhouse after an ejection. He was suspended a game and is now appealing. Ronald Acuna is hurt. Ronald Acuna took to social media and called out the Braves for not disciplining Jared Kelenic for something he did 6 years earlier. Review: Eephus. The Commanders return to DC could be coming soon. But, there is a catch. Portland wants a Major League Baseball team. The state of Oregon just voted on a “jock tax” that would increase amount of possible income tax state would receive from MLB players. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘42’ as in Jackie Robinson Day as in MLB as in honor. Let’s talk about what MLB does for Jackie Robinson Day. Let’s talk about what the White House has been trying to do. Nico Harrison defended his trade of Luka Doncic yesterday. He also said Sorry, Dirk, I’ll do what I want. The fans are furious. The team doesn’t care. And there’s still a game left to play! Does MLB have attendance problem right now? Numbers are down across the board. Rob Manfred thought it’d be up. Review: The Last Five Years. NPPOD. The Baltimore Orioles do not look good. The pitching is bad. There was no replacement for Corbin Burnes. The young players haven’t been given extensions. They’re in last place. Panic?

Today’s word of the day is ‘fourth’ as in the fourth month as in the fourth coach as in the Suns as in Mat Ishbia as in Mike Budenholzer. One season and he’s gone. Just like Frank Vogel. Most expensive team in the NBA and Durant, Booker, and Beal couldn’t make the play-in. Ishbia can’t help himself! The Pelicans have fired David Griffin. He put all his eggs in the Zion Williamson basket and it failed. World Baseball Classic time is here. Well, it’s next year, but Aaron Judge was just announced as captain of Team USA. This will be his debut! Review: Princess Cyd. NPPOD. Messi is MLS. MLS needs Messi. US Soccer needs Messi.

Today’s word of the day is ‘bags’ as in under the eyes as in money bags as in the East Coasters trying to watch the NL West. It is a gauntlet. 4 teams are over .500 right now. The Padres haven’t lost at home. The Dodgers are losing games. The Giants are surprising. The Diamondbacks are hot. The Rockies are… existing. The Chicago Cubs got some bad, bad news. Justin Steele is done for the season. Counsell thought it was short-term and it’s not. Now what do the Cubs do? Mike Trout got into a little situation with a fan on a play for a fly ball right on the edge of the stands. Interference or not? Doesn’t matter because Trout made the best of it and acknowledge he didn’t know the rules and then met with the fan after the game! What just went down between Tennessee and Nico Iamaleava is exactly what the NCAA has created. A world of a mess. A QB wants more money. The school says no. And now he’s out of a job (?) and Tennessee is out of a QB. Review: Novocaine. Rory McIlroy finally got his green jacket. Almost was the same story as always with him, but he did it. The NBA Play-in and Playoffs are here! A wild Sunday saw a bunch of teams change positions. The Warriors down to the play-in. Western Conference was wild. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘groundbreaking’ as in Vegas as in the Athletics as in permits as in documents as in construction. What am I talking about? The Athletics said they are ready to break ground come June. For a stadium to open in 2028. Can it happen? What about the tariffs? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about having a renewed interest in baseball, but none of the games are on national TV. Where can we watch that doesn’t cost extra? How can MLB grow the game this way? What is going on with MLB TV though? Why are they looking to license it? Review: Liza. The NBA on TNT held a sendoff last night. Inside The NBA said goodbye to the regular season. Next season games move to Amazon and NBC. NPPOD. let’s talk about what happened at Pat McAfee’s live show. Just another bad moment for the Pirates.

Today’s word of the day is ‘$325 million’ as in Vlad Jr as in signing bonus as in Blue Jays as in MLB as in anger. Canada has to be conflicted by this deal. Why? Because Vlad’s signing bonus is taxed by Florida… where there’s no income tax. How will other owner’s and the MLBPA feel about this? Luka Doncic went off in his return to Dallas. It was emotional. It was tough. And Nico Harrison was booed the whole time. Review: True Romance. The Phoenix Suns are done. Toast. Lights out. Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker. Max money and no playoffs. WOOF! NPPOD. Let’s talk about tariffs. Trump reversed course some and announced a 90-day pause on everyone but China. Jumps and dives and volatility is off the charts.

Today’s word of the day is ‘no pleasure’ as in fired as in Denver as in Nuggets as in Mike Malone as in winning. The Denver Nuggets decided to fire the head coach and GM with 3 games left in the regular season! WHAT!? The Nuggets president came out and released a statement and then went on TV and made a different statement! Luka got ejected for trash talking a fan in the Lakers game last night. The ref took it personal. Why is this always happening? Why can’t refs get together and say “hey, we made a mistake here?” And now Luka returns to Dallas. Tragedy struck in the Dominican Republic yesterday. At least 70 people died when the roof collapsed at a nightclub. Former MLB pitcher Octavio Dotel died. Former MLB player Tony Blanco died. Nelson Cruz’s sister died. Just a horrible, horrible tragedy. Review: October 8. NPPOD. Skenes Day in Pittsburgh was not great. He got shelled. And no fans were there. Under 9,000! Caitlin Clark Effect is real. We have seen it. It continues. Are the residual effects happening?

Today’s word of the day is ‘inflammation’ as in the Dodgers as in Blake Snell as in the White House as in big money as in replacements. Blake Snell said he’s been trying to tough it out through shoulder soreness but could not make it through a bullpen. First year of $182 million deal. Yikes. Except the Dodgers were all smiles at the White House, because their roster is stacked. The Mayor of Anaheim wants the Angels to be from Anaheim. That’s what she said in a letter if the team wants to stay there with a new stadium. Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox opened up about his struggles in a new documentary on Netflix. He spoke about his mental health troubles and a time where tried to take his own life. So many people and so many athletes struggle. Please call or text 988 if you need to talk. Review: Black Bag. The Detroit Tigers tried to fire an Assistant GM last week and he resigned before that. Why? He was sending lewd photos to female staffers. Rising star no more. NPPOD. Is Ted Leonsis primed to buy the Nationals? He owns the Wizards and the Capitals and he owns the local RSN. But the only way the Nationals get on his station… is if he owns them!
