Today’s word of the day is ’icon’ as in Shohei Ohtani as in Dodgers as in MLB as in Fortnite as in Demon Slayer. What!? Ohtani is ready to takeover Japan again. But this feels so much bigger. Let’s discuss this series for MLB and the activation of promotion that MLB has done there. Vladdy Jr wants $500 million. No deferrals. That was his last offer to the Blue Jays. Brian Cashman said exactly what we said! The Yankees will not spend right now on a new starter. Not going to happen. Review: The Search for Instagram’s Worst Con Artist. The great Junior Bridgeman died yesterday. What a legacy he leaves behind. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the new MLB Overlap hats from New Era. Who approved them!? NBA to NIL is the new way. Steph Curry and Davidson. James Harden and Arizona State. Russell Westbrook and UCLA? NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ’mileage’ as in Gerrit Cole as in Aaron Boone as in the Yankees as in Tommy John. That’s it. Cole’s season is done before the end of March. What a disaster for the Yankees and for Cole. The Seattle Mariners are already down a starter. George Kirby is shutdown because of shoulder inflammation. Uh oh. The team says not to be worried, but Mariners fans still are. The Dodgers just gave Dave Roberts a huge new deal. Another record-setting contract. Good for him. Review: The Girl with the Needle. The NFL QB carousel is spinning and spinning and spinning. Seahawks traded one away and signed one. Jets got one. Steelers need one. Giants need one. Vikings need one. Former MVP Mo Vaughn admitted to HGH use. He was in the 2007 Mitchell Report, but now he’s on record. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ’change of heart’ as in Myles Garrett as in the Browns as in Cleveland as in the NFL. Garrett is staying in Cleveland. Wanted out. Browns said no. Browns paid him record-setting money. What happened to winning? Josh Allen is the new highest paid player in NFL history. $250 million guaranteed. Sorry, Watson. Gerrit Cole could be done for the season. This is a nightmare for the Yankees. The Mets will be without catcher Francisco Alvarez for 8 weeks. Here we ago again! Review: Goodrich. It’s Rays update time. This is a big one. The Sacramento Athletics of Las Vegas has a huge announcement. Was it a move? Was it the new stadium? Was it a sale? Nope. It was a new patch. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ’working’ as in going to work as in Vladdy Jr. as in the Blue Jays as in Juan Soto. What are we talking about? Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said he asked for 14 years but fewer than $600 million. He said he didn’t want Juan Soto money, but he did want the years! Is he going to get close to that? The Yankees are falling apart before the season begins. Luis Gil is out. DJ LaMeheiu is out. Giancarlo Stanton is out. What is the latest on Shohei Ohtani? Did he have a setback? Is he going to pitch this year? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me if I ever put a player on an innings limit because I knew he’d be traded later in the season… wow. Review: All We Imagine as Light. Athletics are back in the news. A new team president. New renderings. A new extension to a young player. So much positivity… but where is the stadium? NPPOD. Mark Cuban shared his thoughts on the Luka Doncic trade. Oh boy.

Today’s word of the day is ’truth’ as in Justin Turner as in Seattle Mariners as in MLB as in owners as in spending. Turner was on the Mariners last season. And he has some things to say about the Mariners offseason spending… or lack of it. I have an update or correction on the MASN deal between the Orioles and Nationals. WBD prez David Zaslav says the company never needed the NBA. He said they have NASCAR and CFP games and soccer games and more! Review: La La Land. Saquon Barkley record-setting contract. Maxx Crosby record-setting contract. NFL players are getting paid big money. Markets are getting reset. What does it all mean? NPPOD. Sportswashing is over. It worked. The Saudis have done it. TKO announced a deal with the Saudis to create a boxing league. Dana White will be the face of it. Congrats.

Today’s word of the day is ’grasping’ as in ESPN as in MLB as in TV rights as in leaks. What is going on? MLB will have to find a new network for its broadcasts with ESPN opting out. Is ESPN going to find a way to still get games? Did MLB leak the reported offer that ESPN gave them that was a slap in the face? It’s time to talk about the Athletics again. Now the team will begin to take deposits for season tickets in Vegas. How fun! Well, where is the stadium? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me why teams still get public financing. Review: Paradise. NPPOD. The Dallas Mavericks are down bad. No Luka. Everyone hates Nico. Anthony Davis hurt. Increased ticket prices. And now Kyrie Irving is out for the season. UNC and Belichick are no longer doing Hard Knocks. Why? The NFL is mad. And his girlfriend is reportedly too involved. Hmm.

Today’s word of the day is ’50,000’ as in points as in basketball as in LeBron James as in Lakers as in Cavaliers as in Heat. That’s right, LeBron James is about to have 50,000 career points. No one else is close. He is 40. Unreal. Another PR nightmare for the Mavericks. Here we go again. This time its ticket price increases! NPPOD. MSG Network is in some trouble. Bankruptcy could be on the horizon. Why is this happening and what could it mean? Review: The Gorge. The MASN fight is over! Orioles and Nationals have reached a settlement. Never thought the day would come! The Houston Dynamo did something so pathetic it hurts. It offered fans a complimentary ticket because Messi didn’t play. What?

Today’s word of the day is ’fat, lazy ass’ as in baseball as in Pete Rose as in Donald Trump as in Rob Manfred. That’s right, President Trump is going to pardon Pete Rose. Okay? For? Who knows! But he wants Rose to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Sure? What is happening here? Spring Training updates! We are two weeks away from the first regular season games! Ohtani homered. What a weekend I had. I spent some time with Saquon Barkley over the weekend and he’s one of the nicest athletes of all time! We spoke about the Deebo Samuel trade to the Commanders! Go all-in with a rookie QB! Oscars recap time! Hard Knocks is headed to college! Bill Belichick and North Carolina are the new targets because no NFL team wants to do it! Matthew Stafford is going back to the Rams. He’s not a Raider. He’s not a Giant. So now who are the Giants going to after? Aaron Rodgers!? NPPOD

Today’s word of the day is ’Ides of March’ as in March as in Spring Training as in MLB as in baseball as in here we go. Injuries? Debuts? Caution? Precautions? What is the front office looking at? New arm angles and new batting stances! We have a bunch of players trying out new positions. Jasson Dominguez. Alex Bregman. Jose Altuve. When does a team nix that change? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about PENN Entertainment and ESPN Bet and Draftkings and FanDuel. What do they want to know? NPPOD. Review: Oscar Ballot. Travis Kelce is back. Year 13. Everyone thought the Chiefs would win the Super Bowl and he’d ride off into the sunset. Didn’t win. Didn’t happen. We have some rule changes coming to the NFL. Good bye, chain gang! We’ve got technology!

Today’s word of the day is ’humans’ as in robots as in umpires as in pitchers as in baseball as in MLB. What am I talking about? The new automated balls-strikes system in baseball is here in Spring Training. And Max Scherzer hates it. FOX did the anti-ESPN this week. FOX announced its plan for 2025. And it’s packed with big games and big moments. Spring Training is here and some legends have returned. Sammy Sosa is with the Cubs! Review: The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Today is my birthday! NPPOD. The GM for the Browns still says that Myles Garrett is not being traded. Not taking calls. Not moving him. Hmm.
