Today’s word of the day is ‘announcement’ as in Nothing Personal is going to 2 hours! Starting next week we move to 2 hours a day! The Florida Panthers are headed back to the Stanley Cup Final! That’s three straight years! How have they been able to do it? Sandy Alcantara is having a miserable, no good, very bad season. This is not good for the Marlins who knew they’d want to trade him. What now? How can they fix him? What happened to the Red Sox? They were everyone’s (including mine) dark horse to win the World Series. And now it’s injuries. Now it’s drama. And now it’s almost last place in the AL East. Review: Bugsy. The Oklahoma City Thunder are a machine. They are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. And they destroyed the Timberwolves in 5 games. Young and hungry team. NPPOD. Trump’s new bill has a small line that sports owners are not going to like. Let me explain what’s happening.

Today’s word of the day is ‘immaculate’ as in perfect as in overrated as in Tyrese Haliburton as in no turnovers as in big win. Haliburton and the Pacers are now just one win away from the NBA Finals. Haliburton made history with a 30/15/10/0 stat line. The Knicks just have no answer for that. Kendrick Perkins had some thoughts on why Anthony Edwards can’t be the face of the league. Well… We have another update on the Athletics of wherever they are from these days. A huge update. A concessionaire is going to invest in the club and the Athletics desperately need that money. Review: Survivor Season 48. Terry Bradshaw is not happy with the Steelers. Not happy with Aaron Rodgers. Not happy with the handling of Kenny Pickett. Woooo buddy! NPPOD

Today’s word of the day is ‘Memorial Day’ as in the holiday as in MLB as in standing as in playoffs. What? Well, most people think that what the standings look like now will be the standings when the season ends. Shohei Ohtani has taken to the mound for the first time in over 600 days. He threw live BP before the Mets game on Sunday at Citi Field and he’s starting to look good. Tarik Skubal might just do it again. He is a full blown ace and showed it. When will the Royals call up Jac Caglianone? He is crushing it in the minor leagues right now. Power bat. Record-setting. And the Royals could definitely use him! Review: The Last of Us Season 2. Caitlin Clark is hurt and this is big business. Uh oh. NPPOD. Let’s talk about the playoffs. Knicks have life for now. Timberwolves had life. And now the Hurricanes have some life.

Today’s word of the day is ‘diminished’ as in quality as in performance as in the Colorado Rockies as in Denver as in lawsuits. How can those all be connected? The Rockies are off to the worst start by a Major League Baseball team in over 100 years. A full century! And now the team is being sued by a fan for being bad! We have another lawsuit! This time a former player is suing the Cincinnati Reds over an unpadded tarp that took out his knee. He never played again. The Denver Nuggets have a new coach! It’s the interim! Still no GM though, but it’s all about putting a team around Jokic. Review: The Studio. Donald Trump is trying to pass a new bill. Donald Trump is at war with universities around the country. Let’s talk about it all. Bill Belichick story is not going away. And Pablo Torre is all over it. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘deflated’ as in heartbreaking as in PTSD as in choke job as in the Knicks as in the Pacers. What a disaster. What a performance. Haliuburton and Nesmith and Reggie Miller. I was there. I saw it live. It was remarkable for both teams. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won MVP last night. His first. It’s the 7th straight international winner of the award! Wow. And now SGA can sign a MEGA deal. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about NBC and the reported offer the company made for MLB rights. Hmm. Review: The Way. Colts owner Jim Irsay died at the age of 65. On the day of the Owners Meetings. Sad end. The Tush Push is here to stay, as voted on by those same owners. NPPOD. Enhanced Games? How is this a thing?

Today’s word of the day is ‘rolling thunder’ as in Oklahoma City as in SGA as in NBA Playoffs as in basketball. The Thunder crushed the Timberwolves in Game with a huge 2nd half. Stop shooting so many 3s! The Timberwolves were ice cold. SGA was red hot. Not a great recipe! The Florida Panthers are GOOD. Road warriors. The Carolina Hurricanes have been so bad in the Conference Finals. NPPOD. Walker Buehler and Alex Cora were ejected in the 3rd inning yesterday after arguing with an ump. That’s fine. It happens. But the comments after the game are what stand out by the ump. Review: Bob Trevino Likes It. Is MLB about to add even more reviews? On checked swings? Really? The NFL voted to allow players to participate in the Olympics. Nice! Flag football!

Today’s word of the day is ‘caveat emptor’ as in buyer beware as in Juan Soto as in the Mets as in hustle as in the media. Let’s talk about Juan Soto and what we’ve seen through 48 games so far in his Mets career. The hustle? Not quite there. The private plane to games? Horse hockey. The expectations? You signed that contract! Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese conversation is in a gross place. We have turned what should be great basketball into nonsense. (33:30) Review: SNL 50 – Beyond Saturday Night. NPPOD. NBA Western Conference Finals and NHL Eastern Conference Finals start tonight! Is the NFL going to allow players into the Olympics? It could happen today! What else are the owners voting on?

WE ARE VERY SORRY ABOUT THE VIDEO QUALITY!!!!!

Today’s word of the day is ‘nerves’ as in nervous as in collapse as in performance as in sweat. What am I talking about? Well, this weekend was full of nerves. Game 7s, PGA Championship final round. And we heard from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who could be the MVP, go out and be his best self and then after the game talked about how nervous he was. Nikola Jokic on the other hand was honest about his thoughts about this current Nuggets team. The Florida Panthers smoked the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7. Woof. The Maple Leafs still haven’t won a title since 1967! Brandon Hyde was fired by the Baltimore Orioles. It came just 2 weeks after his GM, Mike Elias, gave him the kiss of death… a vote of confidence. Review: Elton John – Never Too Late. The Phillies are in some trouble. Jose Alvarado has been suspended for 80 games for a weight-loss drug. No postseason for him.

Today’s word of the day is ‘brilliant’ as in basketball IQ as in Nikola Jokic as in the Denver Nuggets as in the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets got it done at home on Thursday night and it’s all thanks to Nikola Jokic and his play. The game had so many fouls. So many runs of missed and made baskets. And now we’re off to OKC on Sunday. MVP vs MVP. NPPOD. Juan Soto is returning to Yankee Stadium for the first time as a Met. He was asked about his expectations and he said they are going to boo and they are allowed to boo. Review: The Ballad of Wallis Island. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Javy Baez and how he’s been able to turn things around. The price of teams are going up and up and up and up! The 49ers are selling for a valuation of $8.5 billion!
