Today’s word of the day is ‘bean’ as in hit by pitch as in MLB as in control as in velocity. What is happening in baseball? Why are so many batters getting hit? These past 4 seasons have been record-setting. Mookie Betts is out. Aaron Judge got hit. Nolan Arenado got hit. Rest in peace to the great Willie Mays. Tonight MLB plays at Rickwood and it was meant to honor Mays who sadly died a few days ago. Monty Williams got fired by the Detroit Pistons after one season. The Pistons now owe Monty $65 million. I cannot believe it. The Boston Celtics won the title. Did you watch? Did you care? Review: Goodfellas. Are the Panthers going to blow a 3-0 lead? Is this really about to happen? What is happening with the Chiefs and Royals with Kansas? Is Missouri going to lose both teams?

Today’s word of the day is ‘Alberta’ as in Edmonton as in Canada as in the NHL Stanley Cup Final. The Florida Panthers now lead 3-0. Hockey in South Florida… huh! It seems improbable that this is the case. Trevor Lawrence just got a monster deal from the Jaguars. What is Jacksonville doing? Lawrence still had 2 years left on his deal. Now, by total guarantee, he’s the 4th highest paid QB in the NFL. The Big 12 is for sale. The name of the conference. The schools in the conference. The athletic departments in the conference. Everything is for sale now. Review: Brats. NPPOD. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Dan Hurley and what he said on the Le Batard Show yesterday. Is this guy serious? Let’s talk some baseball. Pitching and defense wins rings.

Today’s word of the day is ‘the logo’ as in Jerry West as in the Lakers as in the Grizzlies as in the Warriors as in the Clippers. All star. Champion. Executive. What a legacy Jerry West leaves behind. Are the Celtics going to sweep the Mavericks? The Celtics just look like a complete team. The Mavericks look like Luka and Kyrie. That’s it. That’s the series. Dodgers made a trade for Cavan Biggio. Is this the Dodgers being the Dodgers or a nothing burger? Review: Jurassic Park. NPPOD. Let’s update a bunch of wait to see predictions I’ve made. The hot dog wars are back on. Netflix announced an eat off between Chestnut and Kobayashi! WHOA! STAY OFF THE FIELD!

Today’s word of the day is ‘retinaculum’ as in an injury as in the ankle as in tendons as in Kristaps Porzingis as in the NBA Finals. Oh boy. What are the Celtics going to do? The team said whether he plays or not is up to the team doctors. Is this how the Mavericks get back into the series? NPPOD. NHL is not going to discipline players after the Stanley Cup game. Dirty hits. Players thrown out. Penalties. Everything. Where is Aaron Rodgers? Review: Rumble – The Indians who Rocked the World. Mike Tomlin got an extension with the Steelers. Russell Wilson finally spoke. We have a hot dog beef. Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. Joey Chestnut banned.

Today’s word of the day is ‘unrequited’ as in Dan Hurley as in the Lakers as in UConn as in left at the altar. That’s right, Dan Hurley turned down a massive offer the Lakers. The Connecticut governor got involved. His wife possibly was involved. Everyone was involved. But UConn is home and now the Lakers must scramble. The Florida Panthers have taken a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. A chippy game. Players thrown out. Let’s talk about taxes though. People want different salary caps based off income taxes. HUH. NPPOD. Review: How to Rob a Bank. The Yankees captain Aaron Judge called out fans for their treatment of Trent Grisham. This is important, because only someone like Judge could do this. Buster Onley had his account hacked and panic broke out. Luis Robert was not traded to the Phillies. Didn’t happen. But he is on the trade block.

Today’s word of the day is ‘31-5’ as in the NBA Finals as in the Boston Celtics as in the Dallas Mavericks. The Celtics took Game 2. It’s been ugly, but Tatum and Brown and Holiday are getting it done. Luka has been a turnover machine. The rest of the Mavs can’t shoot. The Stanley Cup Final is happening. Did you watch Game 1? The Florida Panthers look like the worse team and still beat the Oilers 3-0. Mets owner Steve Cohen met the media and talked about the Mets this year. He mentioned trades. He mentioned fans. He mentioned his new president. The MLB London series took place and let’s discuss some things that were said. Bryce Harper wants an in-season tournament in London. Some Mets players joined in and said they agree going to London for two games is a bit much. Review: Hit Man. Caitlin Clark was left of Team USA. She’s not going to Paris for the Olympics. Why?

Today’s word of the day is ‘Game 1’ as in NBA Finals as in the Boston Celtics as in the Dallas Mavericks as in blowout city. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis were just too much for Luka and company. Adam Silver met with the media yesterday for the first time before the NBA Finals to be questioned on myriad of topics: Caitlin Clark, NBA TV rights, TNT, and more! Here’s what he said. Let’s talk about the MLB London Series. Mets vs Phillies. Everyone wants to play overseas. Why? What’s wrong with Juan Soto’s forearm? How bad is it? Is this the end for the Yankees? Review: American Nightmare. We are at a scary place with social media. Fake news. Misinformation. A.I. posts. How do we know what’s real or not? NPPOD. The Timberwovles sale is still happening. Or is it still happening?

Today’s word of the day is ‘finally’ as in the Finals as in the NBA Finals as in The Boston Celtics as in the Dallas Mavericks. Who do you have? Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown or Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving? Jason Kidd could be joining an exclusive group with a win. Joe Mazzulla would be in a league of his own with a win. NPPOD. Jordan Montgomery was booed off the field by Diamondbacks fans. He’s been bad. Boras Four. STINK! Review: A League of Their Own. There’s been quite the update on Jontay Porter. Remember he was ban for life from the NBA for gambling on basketball. This update is wild. Kansas wants the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs are in Kansas City, Missouri… not Kansas City, Kansas. Dan Hurley is now the favorite for the Lakers head coach? What?

Today’s word of the day is ‘lifetime’ as in lifetime ban as in Marcano as in Padres as in Pirates as in MLB as in MiLB as in gambling. It’s the first lifetime ban in a century for an MLB player. MLB came out and dropped the hammer. Ippei Mizuhara pleaded guilty yesterday and Shohei Ohtani has been cleared by baseball. Ohtani is good to go. JJ Redick is the favorite for the Lakers head coach. Rich Paul said LeBron has nothing to do with the search. LeBron James has a podcast with JJ Redick. No dots to connect there! Review: Review: The Anti-Social Network. The Marlins had to DFA Avisail Garcia. And they owe him a big chunk of change. Congrats, Jeter! NPPOD. It’s time to talk about catchers. The positioning they have near the batter’s box is not right. MLB is going to fix it. The Mavericks gave a contract extension to the GM the eve of the NBA Finals. Why?

Today’s word of the day is ‘existential crisis’ as in baseball as in MLB as gambling as in injuries as in Tommy John as in problems. We have a player facing a lifetime ban for the first time since gambling has become what it has. Tucupita Marcano of the Padres reportedly bet on baseball last year as a member of the Pirates. Woof. More and more and more injuries happening to starting pitching. Elbow and elbows and elbows. The Carolina Panthers want public money for stadium upgrades. It never ends. You might think it will, but it doesn’t. Justin Jefferson is getting big money. WR are now the offensive money makers. Sorry RB, you aint coming back. Review: Spacey Unmasked. Sports media and hot take culture is at a boiling point. Where is the line? Where is the integrity? This Caitlin Clark conversation has become everything it shouldn’t. NPPOD. I made a mistake about Top 100 players.
