Today’s word of the day is ‘thrust’ as in thrust into the world as in thrust into the DLS world as in Dan Le Batard is here! We start today with the anniversary of October 7th and where we are now as a world, as Americans, as people. Did you see what happened in the Dodgers and Padres game? Fans were throwing things at the Padres players. Game had to be stopped. What a joke! Deshaun Watson looks bad. He’s struggling. The Browns are bad. The team is bad. The contract is bad. Good! Josh Allen was out cold. Josh Allen missed one play. The NFL has an issue. Let’s end things with the NFL players against the NFL media. Players want the media out of the locker room. Interesting.

Today’s word of the day is ‘disincentive’ as in Monday doubleheader as in Mets as in Braves as in Wild Card. What is happening here? It’s a win and you’re in for both teams. If the Mets win a game, they’re in. If the Braves win a game, they’re in. The Los Angeles Dodgers finish with the best record in baseball. Does it matter? Rashee Rice is done for the year. Torn ACL on a freak play where Patrick Mahomes took him out. The Chiefs are looking to 3-peat and now things look real tough. What is going on with the New York Jets? What an embarrassing loss to the Broncos yesterday. Woof. Review: Wolfs. Let’s talk about my weekend. Rocco Baldelli is staying in Minnesota after the Twins epic collapse. The Marlins are moving on from Skip Schumaker. The White Sox are officially the worst team ever. Most losses in a season all-time. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf decided a letter to the fans would be that.

The Cowboys own the Giants in recent years and it continued last night. NPPOD. Let’s talk about the White Sox and the move they made. Still holding off on history. My preseason MLB picks were so bad.

Today’s word of the day is ‘contingency’ as in backup plans as in hurricane planning as in Mets as in Braves as in postponed. How did MLB allow this to happen? The planning was so poor! The Yankees have some more problems with pitching again. Nestor Cortes is done. Flexor strain. Bad timing for this injury. Can Judge and Soto be enough or will pitching be the letdown? NPPOD. The Indiana Fever season is done. Caitlin Clark’s rookie season is over. What a season. Viewership is up. Merch sales are up. Attendance is up. Review: Almost Famous. We have an update on UNLV v. Matthew Sluka. What a mess college sports are. The Ohtani 50th home run ball is going up for auction. Starting price will be $500K but if you want to buy it now it can be yours for $4.5 million.

The Oakland Athletics won in a walkoff last night. Last few game for the Athletics at the Coliseum. The San Diego Padres clinched a playoff spot on a triple play! Never been done before! Mets or Braves? Who is going to do it? It’s now been 8 years since we lost Jose Fernandez. NPPOD. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Pirates and Rowdy Tellez and what happened there. Review: His Three Daughters. This story about Matthew Sluka and UNLV is only the beginning. Walking away from an undefeated team because of some contract issues. Oh boy! Reggie Bush has filed a lawsuit against the Pac-12, NCAA, and USC over past NIL money. The Pac-12 is suing the Mountain West over poaching penalties. Love it. More lawsuits. More college athletics.

Today’s word of the day is ‘ghostwriter’ as in John Fisher as in letter as in Oakland as in Athletics as in see ya. John Fisher finally spoke out to the fans and it was something.

And his name is Trevor Lawrence. $250 million quarterback and nothing to show for it. NPPOD. Review: Mothers’ Instinct. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me why Jerry Jones would say he couldn’t afford to sign Derrick Henry… what? Let’s talk about Skip Schumaker and his end in Miami. When will it end?
