It’s another mailbag! We’ll be back on Monday, but for now I’m on a mountain! Today’s show is all about the new streaming world. Subscriptions and ads are what the world has become! Someone asked me about the NBA media deal and what would happen if the NBA owners wanted a bigger peace of the pie. It’s a 50/50 split… for how long? Someone asked if Rob Manfred sees Warner Bros. Discovery needs content and MLB needs a big buyer… would he suggest this? Someone asked me about employees v. Shareholders. Loyalty was one of the employees traits, but fighting with the shareholder was hurting some business. How do you handle this? Someone asked me about the Green Bay Packers ownership and how this works.

0:55 – Streaming Ads and Subs
14:01 – NBA owners
24:50 – MLB upset?

#NothingPersonal #DavidSamson #MLB

Welcome into a mailbag episode. I’m not here, but I’m here. Someone asked me if MLB expands does that mean the ‘feeder’ systems expand too? New AAA teams? New AA? How does it work? Someone asked me about MLB regions and why MLB has picked regions that have no chance to have success. Someone asked me about PTBNL… a player to be named later. What does that mean? Is that more embarrassing than cash considerations? What is going on with the Rockies? Does the league ever give teams pressure to do more? Someone asked me about visas and Canadians and trading players to Canada!

0:00 – Intro
0:55 – MLB expansion
12:40 – MLB regions
21:45 – PTBNL
32:55 – Rockies Sham
43:45 – Oh, Canada

Now the NFL has fined teams… will they listen? What are the Steelers doing at QB? Is it Russell Wilson or is it Justin Fields? Mike Tomlin loves the funny business. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about my thoughts on Jim Harbaugh and what the NCAA announced. Review: Minority Report. NPPOD. MLB wants to go to Bristol Motor Speedway next year. Will it work how they want it to? Let’s talk about what happened to the Taylor Swift shows in Vienna. Canceled.

Today’s word of the day is ‘enthusiasm’ as in Jim Harbaugh as in Michigan as in college football as in the NCAA. What is going on at Michigan? Well, Harbaugh left, but the NCAA is still after the school. Ice Cube has challenged the Olympic gold medalists of Team Netherlands to a 3×3 game. It’s Big 3 vs Gold 3. Great business! Noah Lyles wants a shoe deal from adidas. Not a cleats deal. He wants trainers. Will he get it? Nike founder Phil Knight has sent a letter to Olympic athletes urging them to win it all. Really? Review: Fancy Dance. The White Sox are having a moment. A very bad moment. NPPOD.
