Today’s word of the day is ’aces wild’ as starting pitchers as in aces as in top of rotation guys as in Chris Sale as in Gerrit Cole as in Kodai Senga. Let’s give some health updates!

Today’s word of the day is ’home court disadvantage’ as in Game 7 as in NBA Playoffs as in Pacers as in Knicks as in Timberwolves as in Nuggets. The Pacers crushed the Knicks to advance. Shooting a record percentage from the field. Knicks had no response. And I was there to witness it. The Denver Nuggets blew it. 20 point lead at home in a Game 7 and they lost to the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert did it. Nikola Jokic and the reigning champs went home. The Dallas Mavericks advanced on free throws! What a wild ending vs the Thunder. NPDS MLB weekend in review! Let’s start with Shota Imanga and what he’s been able to do for the Cubs this year. What about Edwin Diaz and his bad bad bad pitching form? Paul Skenes crushed it on Friday for the Pirates. Review: Bronx Zoo ’90. What is going on with the Las Vegas Aces? Another investigation into the Aces because of benefits. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ’addicted’ as in my phone as in as in 3am chat room conversations with Apple. Alright, time to get to the NFL. We had schedule releases, but first let’s chat about Harrison Butker again. The NFL commented on his thoughts. What was interesting about the schedule? Who runs primetime? Who isn’t part of these games? NFL on Netflix on Christmas. Football all the time. Football! Football! Football! NBA Playoff update! The Celtics are moving on! The Luka’s have taken a series lead over the Thunder! The Cavaliers season ended and 2 seconds later we had to hear about Mitchell and Bickerstaff’s futures… why!? NPPOD. Review: The Truman Show.

But will it impact the rest of the league? Let’s talk about the Atlanta Braves. Do you like that they’re owned by a public company and not by a single person?

Today’s word of the day is ’prowl’ as in on the prowl as in Nuggets as in the Knicks as in playoff basketball. Nikola Jokic is incredible. He dominated the DPOY in Rudy Gobert. Rudy Gobert also had to pay a big fine for doing the money gesture at the refs! Knicks fever! Get excited! One win away from a conference finals! Caitlin Clark debuted in the WNBA. It was a shaky start for sure. 10 turnovers. Fever lost by 21 points. NPPOD. Are the Jaguars moving to London? Nope! Another new stadium deal! Review: Last Stop in Yuma County.

Today’s word of the day is ’greedy’ as in the NFL as in schedule release as in kickoff games as in networks as in Tom Brady as in Patrick Mahomes. The NFL continues to just win every offseason. It’s ridiculous! LeBron James was wining it up at the Cavaliers playoff game last night. But it’s time to talk about Bronny James. Is he worth a draft pick? He was cleared medically by the NBA. The Boston Celtics took a 3-1 series lead over the Cavaliers. No Donovan Mitchell, no matter. What about the Mavericks blowing a late home lead against the Thunder? Hit your free throws! WNBA season is here. The Caitlin Clark era is here! Review: Rather. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about which teams will be buyers and who will be sellers. This early!? MLB is on Roku. What does this say about the health of MLB broadcast rights?

Today’s word of the day is ’debut’ as in first career start as in Paul Skenes as in the Pittsburgh Pirates as in top prospects. Skenes made his first start against the Cubs and it was insane. One of the worst pitching innings in baseball happened after Skenes was removed. Kodai Senga injury update! The Yankees are heating up. Aaron Judge is heating up. Panic down. Seth Lugo is performing at an elite level for the Royals. Who saw that coming? The Knicks lost both road games to the Pacers. The Pacers blew them out the water in Game 4. Woof! The Denver Nuggets have tied up the series vs the Minnesota Timberwolves. Can not count them out! Review: Love Lies Bleeding. The Suns have hired Mike Budenholzer to a huge contract. Another giant contract given away by Mat Ishbia. Why is he doing this? Did anyone know the NBA draft lottery was yesterday? Atlanta Hawks are the draft lottery winners! A 3% chance and they did it!

Oh boy… remember when they didn’t want live sports? Review: Monkey Man NPPOD. The St. Louis Cardinals have lost their way. Is it time to trade Mason Miller? Will the Athletics get the best deal now?

Today’s word of the day is ’anticipation’ as in the Pittsburgh Pirates as in Paul Skenes. His time has come. He throws gas. He could be the next great. Why are the Pirates calling him up now? Why not wait? Ippei Mizuhara will plead guilty to federal crimes. He used $17 million of Shohei Ohtani’s money to pay off gambling debts. What a wild case this has been. The New York Knicks have done it again! 2-0 series lead. Playoff basketball. Jalen Brunson is a bad man! And Nikola Jokic has won his 3rd MVP. Wasn’t even close. NPPOD. Review: Inglorious Basterds. It’s time to talk streaming bundles. Another day, another bundle. When will it end? The WNBA is going to have chartered flights for players. It’s a new thing for them. Good for them.

Verlander is getting rocked. 11 games under .500. 0-5 vs the Yankees this season. Bu the GM says the team is too good to sell! Shota Imanaga and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have found their grooves. Let’s talk about the contracts. Let’s talk about how good they have been. MLB draft talk! The league sent memos to teams about draft dodging. Huh!? We have 2 new tour dates! Review: The Long Game.

Today’s word of the day is ’preordained’ as in determined as in fate as in the Knicks won another thrilling finish against the Pacers in Game 1. The officiating was very questionable. The calls were very close. Some of them seemed like a joke. Is the NBA behind this? The Timberwolves crushed the Nuggets. What a defensive effort. The reigning champs are down 2-0 now. Woof. Pat Riley gave his end-of-season presser on the Heat. He had some things to say about Jimmy Butler. Will Butler get an extension? Will the Heat make big changes? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Bally’s CEO on John Fisher’s attempt to relocate the Athletics. What did he have to say? Review: The Idea of You. Walker Buehler returned for the Dodgers yesterday after missing all of 2023. 2nd Tommy John surgery. Dodgers need him to be good, can he ever be great? We have a new college football bowl game sponsor! What is going on at college campuses?
