On a foreign travel team that you have to pay to play for. Huh….. NPPOD. Is the Wizards/Capitals move to Virginia dead?

Today’s word of the day is ‘overreaction’ as in this players stinks as in he’ll never be good again as in he’s the best player we’ve ever seen! What are we talking about? MLB Spring Training! Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a bad start… STINKS! Carlos Rodon still can’t find his fastball… this actually might not be an overreaction! Juan Soto is scorching! Nick Saban had enough. That’s why he left coaching. He sounded off to ESPN on his decision. Review: Sound of Metal. NPPOD. What is happening in Chicago with stadiums? Bears want a stadium. White Sox want a stadium. The same thing is happening in Kansas City. Stadiums! Stadiums! Stadiums!

Today’s word of the day is ‘injuries, injuries, injuries!’ as in Lucas Giolito as in Sonny Gray as in Justin Verlander as in Kyle Bradish as in Kodai Senga. It’s all about spring training injuries and teams trying to avoid this. Giolito signs a big deal for the Red Sox and now he’s done. Sonny Gray will likely miss Opening Day with a hamstring. Justin Verlander will start on the IL. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Athletics new renderings… hahahaha. Review: All of Us Strangers. Let’s talk about the Dartmouth basketball union vote. What happened? What happens next? NPPOD. Arch Manning has opted out of EA Sports 2025 college football game. Why?

Today’s word of the day is ‘dead cap’ as in ghost money as in Russell Wilson as in Denver Broncos as in $85 million. That’s it for Russ. 2 seasons and Sean Payton had enough. The fighting at the end of the season about the contract was always going to end this way. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Chicago Bears and the decision to be made about Caleb Williams or Justin Fields. Who makes this decision? Review: Zone of Interest. We have an Acuńan update. He is expected to be ready for Opening Day. Phew. Scott Boras is back. It’s been a spring training tour with him. Always with the quotes. Never ends. The Zach Wheeler deal was a big one. Huge money. But another Boras guy had something to say. NPPOD. Let’s talk about Bronny and LeBron James.

Today’s word of the day is ‘optimistic’ as in being encouraged as in things will go right as in this is our year as in Ronald Acuna has a knee issue and the Braves are trying to remain calm. Reigning NL MVP. He was scratched from a game on Friday and received an MRI and now he’s in Los Angeles to meet with his surgeon. Uh oh. Another short term deal for a Scott Boras client. This time it’s Matt Chapman to the San Francisco Giants. Review: Poor Things. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Big Ten and the SEC wanting to get automatic byes in the playoffs. Will it happen? Caitlin Clark broke another record. All-time scorer in Division 1 for Men’s or Women’s basketball. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘fever’ as in the Indiana Fever as in the Iowa Hawkeyes as in Caitlin Clark as in the WNBA. Clark announced she is going to the WNBA draft. She will forgo her final year of eligibility. Is this a smart business move? Could she make more in NIL and sponsor deals? It’s time to talk Wendy’s again! Looks like the company is backtracking its dynamic pricing. Why? F1 scandal has hit the circuit before the season starts. Principal of Red Bull Racing Christian Horner was under investigation for some nefarious activity. He was let off the hook, but a leak! Review: The Leftovers. NFL is not going to ban the “tush push”. Are you okay with that? What other rules or technology is the NFL working on? NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘leap year’ as in today as in February 29 as in every four years as in class is in session. The NFLPA released a player survey where they graded every team in the league. In all categories from training to facilities to owners to food to family care. The Chiefs win Super Bowls but it appears players do not like the team! The Commanders ranked last again… duh. What is the latest with the Commanders outside of the survey? FedEx backed out of the stadium naming rights. A bill just passed in DC for RFK Stadium. Is the team moving? Review: Thelma & Louise. Scott Boras of course showed up to the Cody Bellinger press conference with the Cubs. What did he have to say? NPPOD. Wendy’s is going to start dynamic pricing. How does that make you feel?

Today’s word of the day is ‘debut’ as in Shohei Ohtani as in Los Angeles Dodgers as in Spring Training as in gameplays. Ohtani is set to make his debut in Spring Training today. Dave Roberts spoke about the plan to get Ohtani some at-bats. MLB Network will air the game. Biggest free agent signing of all-time! So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Spring Training: what should fans look for? What do front offices look for? Review: Anyone But You. NFL Combine is here. Top prospects are starting to opt-out way more than usual. New trend? Just this year? Is the NFL happy about it? The running back market has crashed. Players aren’t getting top dollar. Teams are passing on franchise tagging running backs. Will it ever bounce back? NPPOD. Pistons lost to the Knicks. Monty Williams lost it on the refs in the postgame presser.

Today’s word of the day is ‘blinked’ as in Scott Boras as in the Chicago Cubs as in Cody Bellinger. It finally happened. Cody Bellinger has signed a deal. It’s not the longterm deal most people thought he’d get. Who won this standoff? What’s next for the Boras Boys? Let me talk about my weekend and the Challenged Athletes Foundation. It’s time for an A’s update! Review: American Fiction. We need to put an end to court-storming. Enough is enough. NPPOD. Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans suspensions for a fight! The drama! Steve Kerr got an extension. Big money. Matches up the years with Curry. End of an era?

Today’s word of the day is ‘opportunistic’ as Spring Training as in baseball is back as in injuries as in the Mets got bad news about Kodai Senga. Wonderful. Shoulder injury and he’s shut down. This is a team’s worst nightmare. The White Sox want a new stadium. The White Sox want public money. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf spoke with the media… why? Review: Bitconned.

Today’s word of the day is ‘Mahomes Rules’ as Antonio Pierce as in Maxx Crosby as in the Las Vegas Raiders. New head coach Antonio Pierce says he wants the Raiders to get to Patrick Mahomes like the Detroit Pistons did to Michael Jordan. Why are coaches saying these things in public!? This new world we live in is crazy. Justin Fields unfollows the Bears and the world knows in seconds. Huge story! Why? Review: Shawshank Redemption. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!?
