Today’s word of the day is ‘peace’ as in labor peace as in Major League Baseball as in Tony Clark as in MLBPA as in negotiations as in resignation. Wow. A shocking scandal has rocked the players’ union. What does it all mean? Is this bad for the union? Are the owners giddy? The fight over revenue in baseball is real. A lot of that is going to come from a new national television package. And MLB commissioner Rob Manfred gave us an inside look into what that may be. Review: Anemone. Mark Cuban says the NBA should embrace tanking. He says all teams tank. He tanked. He paid for it. His concern is with the in-arena experience being too expensive. NPPOD. The Minnesota Twins have some problems. So much money to players who can’t play. The team looks bad. The team will likely be bad. It’s a So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Let’s start with Tony Vitello. He’s the first year manager for the San Francisco Giants, and he’s off to an interesting start. The WNBA fight continues. A work stoppage is imminent. Uh oh. What is the legal process for a team wanting to leave a sports league? Why don’t the Marlins have retired jerseys? Only Jackie Robinson? What is going on with international signings? The Phillies signed an 11-year old! The death of the RSNs is here. How do visas work in sports?

Today’s word of the day is ‘urgency’ as in NBA as in All-Star Game as in what a game as in Kawhi Leonard as in Wemby as in Anthony Edwards. We finally got a great game. Team Stars won it. Team Stripes had a moment. Wemby wanted everyone to try and compete… and they did! But what about the rest of the weekend? Yikes! LeBron James had his own media day on Sunday ahead of the All-Star Game. He was asked about Israel? Why? Michael Jordan is a champion. For the first time in his career. A Daytona 500 champion. Adam Silver met with the media over the weekend. He had a lot to say. Tanking, AI, prediction markets, new technology. The usual. Review: The Secret Agent. The NFL and NFLPA have a grievance solved over the weekend. No more report cards. The union lost and can no longer make them public. Baseball season is in full swing. Not regular season. But, you get it. Rob Manfred met with the media. More CBA negations. More prediction markets. The usual for commissioners these days. Mets owner Steve Cohen met with the media. He is tired of losing. He will never have a captain. But he will spend and spend and spend. The Yankees MVP had problems with the team’s offseason, but then he didn’t. Is he really okay with the team running it back? Nick Castellanos is no longer a Phillie. He’s San Diego bound. The end of his tenure in Philadelphia was an absolute mess. Casey Wasserman is selling his agency. Casey Wasserman has been asked to stepped down as head of LA28.

Today’s word of the day is ‘offload’ as in load management as in the NBA as in the 65-game rule as in awards as in All-NBA. The NBA has a problem. Well, multiple problems. SO many star players are missing games because of soft tissue injuries and can no longer be eligible for regular season honors. LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Nikola Jokic is a few games away. Wemby is a few games away. Steph Curry is a few games away. Kawhi is a few games away. More injuries coming out of Spring Training. We have three hamate bone ones. Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll, and Jackson Holliday are all ruled out with the same injury. Another 6-8 week one, that could take longer than that to heal. Could President Trump get involved in MLB labor negotiations? It could happen. But at what cost? Review: Nuremberg. NPPOD. Let’s talk about Scott Boras. The decision of LA28 Olympics. Let’s discuss. Then Coca joins and he’s MAD!

Today’s word of the day is ‘shocked’ as in MLB as in spring training as in injuries. Let me explain. Kris Bryan is hurt. Anthony Santander is hurt. Spencer Schwellenbach is hurt. Hurt, hurt, and hurt. Why are these announcements happening on Day 1? Why are players waiting to get surgery? Justin Verlander is back with the Tigers! Can you believe it!? The Blue Jays were hit by the injury bug. So many major red flag injuries. An injury to Santander. An injury to Shane Bieber. MLB meetings are taking place in Palm Beach. What are they discussing? Review: The Alabama Solution. NPPOD. Are the Dallas Mavericks for sale? Is Mark Cuban getting the team back? Are the Adelsons leaving for Vegas?

It’s a So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Prediction markets! Are you using them? Kalshi? Polymarket? Cardi B? What am I talking about? Did David Stearns tell you the truth about Francisco Lindor and the World Baseball Classic? Doubt it! Why is there a Super Bowl halftime show? What is a successful one? Did the Baseball Hall of Fame lose credibility over the years? Explain arbitration. Does it ever result in bad blood between the player and the team? What do glue guys bring to a team? Munetaka Murakami is the newest signing for the White Sox. But the White Sox already spelled his name wrong?

Today’s word of the day is ‘stifled’ as in Seahawks as in Patriots as in Super Bowl as in Bad Bunny as in Sam Darnold as in Drake Maye. What a Super Bowl performance by the Seahawks. Absolutely shut down the Patriots offense. Drake Maye was running for his life! Sam Darnold is a champion. Wow. Let’s talk commercials! It’s one of my favorite things. Are they still good? NPPOD. Review: The Housemaid. The Detroit Tigers went to arbitration with Tarik Skubal. And Skubal won. $32 million. Most ever. Record-breaking raise. More on the World Baseball Classic here. More insurance coverage denied. The NBA has some big problems right now. Anthony Davis gets traded to the Wizards and Washington immediately shuts him down for the season. Giannis staying in Milwaukee. Then signing a deal with Kalshi? The Utah Jazz? A straight tank job like we’ve never seen before. More on the Giannis and Kalshi deal. How is this allowed? James Pearce Jr was arrested and charged with a litany of felonies. Horrible. He should never play in the NFL again. The Pro Football Hall of Fame could be changing its voting process. Yes, Belichick and Kraft were snubbed. Yes, the voting system is broken. It’s time for our Olympics coverage.

Today’s word of the day is ‘carrots’ as in Bad Bunny as in Super Bowl as in Seahawks as in Patriots as in Santa Clara! The Super Bowl is here! Can Sam Darnold lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory? Is Drake Maye going to become the youngest QB to ever win a Super Bowl? Is Mike Vrabel going to go from Patriots player winning a title to a Patriots head coach winning a title? Are people going to tune out of Bad Bunny’s halftime show? So many storylines! NPPOD. The Detroit Tigers went to arbitration with Tarik Skubal. The Detroit Tigers signed Framber Valdez to a $115 million deal on the same day. Coincidence? Let me explain! Review: People We Meet on Vacation. Anthony Davis has been traded by the Mavericks. He played just 29 games for the franchise. What a trade for Luka Doncic. Let’s give another update on the WNBA. Any deal? And we end the week as always with Matthew Coca!

Today’s word of the day is ‘chase’ as in ring chasing as in James Harden as in Clippers as in Cavaliers as in the NBA. James Harden is now on the Cavaliers. No more LA, no more Kawhi Leonard, no more Steve Ballmer. NPPOD. It’s Super Bowl week! That means Roger Goodell is meeting with the media. Epstein Files. Coaching hirings. International games. 18-game schedule. You name it! Review: Secret Mall Apartment. Robert Kraft is not getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Wow. No Patriots. No Kraft, no Belichick. Let’s talk RSNs. Baseball is at a breaking point with regional sports networks. MLB is getting the rights. Let me explain. So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! We start things off with Fantatics. What a week for that company. What should be a layup with Super Bowl week, has turned into a nightmare. Terry Rozier is getting his money. An arbitrator ruled in his favor. Why? Can MLB or the union look at the way the Dodgers will look a load management? Or does that already happen? Do Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone have something on the owner? The Padres family fight could be over and done with. What happened? American League and National League in MLB used to fight for its own league, now it’s just MLB. Does that still happen? Let’s talk Rays. The Tampa Bay Rays are headed to Tampa. Ron DeSantis said it. But will the Rays get that sweet sweet state money?

Today’s word of the day is ‘files’ as in those files as in email dumps as in sports as in America as in horrifying. The Epstein Files latest round of releases was full of sports figures. The New York Giants have a problem. The LA Olympics have a problem. A lot of people have problems, but will ANYTHING happen? The WBC has some problems. Team Puerto Rico could pull out of the tournament. And it’s all because of insurance? The Dodgers have brought load management to MLB. And we are going to see it even more this year. Blake Snell will not be ready for Opening Day. Too much mileage last season for the World Series push. Review: Rental Family. NPPOD. The Minnesota Twins have fired the team president Derek Falvey. Just a short few weeks before spring training. Why? Australian Open history was made. Carlos Alcaraz becomes the youngest man ever to complete the career slam. Novak Djokovic was so close, but time was not on his side.The NBA has suspended Paul George for 25 games for violating the league’s anti-drug policy. George apologized for “mistakenly” taking prescription drugs. Yikes. $11 million suspension. But for the 76ers, they get help when it comes to the luxury tax. Jason Kidd has had enough. Could it be the pressure of the Luka trade fallout has caught up to him? The WNBA will not start on time. It cannot. The fighting is too much. They are no closer to a deal now than they were 3 months ago. Another pro player wants to go back to school. How fun. We all saw this coming. The Athletics have some more signings. They continue to give longterm deals to players who don’t need them just yet cause of team control. The Seattle Seahawks are for sale. They have been for 7 years now. And now Jody Allen, who is running the team, has been fined $5 million. Luis Arraez signed for $12 million with the Giants. Just for a one-year deal. That’s it. So many players either not signed or signing for short term. What is happening?

Today’s word of the day is ‘exposure’ as in the Yankees as in Brian Cashman as in Aaron Boone as in Cody Bellinger. The Yankees re-signed Bellinger, MVP Judge returns, Gerrit Cole might return, and Cashman’s confidence is sky high. Are they as good as he says they are? Will this be the year the Yankees win a World Series again? Bill Belichick has gotten everyone to come out and defend him. Tom Brady. Robert Kraft. And now the Pro Football Hall of Fame is releasing statements! The Browns always seem to do something wrong. Todd Monken is the new head coach. Former Browns OC is back in the mix. And Jim Schwartz is pissed. Review: It Was Just An Accident. NPPOD. We have to talk about Giannis again. What is going on with the Bucks? Is LIV Golf done? Another big name has left. Uh oh. What is going on with the Tampa Bay Rays stadium? Can they afford their new stadium? Have you seen the price!? AND IT’S ANOTHER COCA THURSDAY! THIS ONE IS A MELTDOWN!!!

Today’s word of the day is ‘second down’ as in Bill Belichick as in Hall of Fame as in denied as in shocker. Wow. A story came out on ESPN last night that 8x Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick would not be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Wow. The Buffalo Bills have hired Joe Brady as the team’s next head coach. Promoted. What a search. Josh Allen got his guy! Mike McCarthy is now the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Does that mean that Aaron Rodgers is coming back? Art Rooney II says the team will NOT rebuild! Review: Blue Moon. NPPOD. Shedeur Sanders is headed to the Pro Bowl. Very deserving. The Australian Open is having some problems. Coco Gauff was eliminated, slammed her racket in the tunnel, and the world saw it. Why? Cameras everywhere! So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! We start with what’s going on at the Washington Post. Could the entire Sports section disappear? Are more jobs being lost? Does Jeff Bezos with his billions even care? Are we in the buyout stage of college sports? What is going on with Miami and Duke? How long will the lockout last? Will it be a year? What will the concessions be? What is each side asking for? Is there is a salary floor is there no luxury tax? Can teams still make a profit? Can small market teams invest into the minor leagues? Can you talk about the Johan Santana trade? Do teams still let players make deals before a trade like he did? Former head of FIFA says not to come to America for the World Cup. Oh. Was there ever talks about having Spanish TV broadcasts for the Marlins?

Today’s word of the day is ‘Santa Clara’ as in the Super Bowl as in the Seattle Seahawks as in the New England Patriots as in rematch as in Russell Wilson as in Malcolm Butler. The Super Bowl is set. The New England Patriots took down the Denver Broncos in a blizzard. It didn’t start that way, but it got there eventually. Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel. The New England Patriots dynasty is alive and well. Sam Darnold has led the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Sorry Jets fans. Wow. Mike McCarthy is the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes, that Mike McCarthy. And the reason by Art Rooney II is something you need to hear. Did Yu Darvish retire? What is happening here? Review: The Rip. Let’s talk about Netflix decision making. The latest decision was for a guy to scale a skyscraper… live. NPPOD. Jose Ramirez got a new deal. An extension. He’ll be in Cleveland for his whole career like he wanted.We cannot ignore what’s happening in Minnesota. Tragic. Heartbreaking. No matter where you stand politically. It is awful. The Minnesota Timberwolves chose to postpone a game. Business leaders in Minnesota came together including the Timberwolves and Wild, but a major team decided to not appear on that message. I need to further explain my comments on LeBron James and his future with the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA trade deadline is approaching. Giannis, hurt. Ja Morant, hurt. Rich Paul has requested a trade for Anthony Davis. College Football Playoff expansion is not happening. 12 teams is here for another year. Power 4 schools get a spot for winning the conference. Notre Dame gets a spot automatically if it’s in the Top 12. Mike McDaniel has pulled out of two different head coaching interviews. He was scheduled to speak with the Browns and Bills. He was rumored to be the OC for the Chargers, but that deal has not been signed yet. Spring training is almost here. Players still not signed yet.

Today’s word of the day is ‘lowmark’ as in the Buffalo Bills as in Terry Pegula as in Brandon Beane as in Sean McDermott as in Josh Allen. What an absolute mess that end of season press conference was. Pegula and Beane blaming McDermott for failed picks. Blaming McDermott for the playoff blues. Wow. Cody Bellinger is back with the Yankees! All that for nothing. All the mystery teams and interest, and he re-signs for the same offer that was on the table. The Mets did it again. David Stearns made a trade for a starter. Freddy Peralta. The Brewers, last season’s best regular season team, got two of the top 5 prospects in the Mets farm system. Review: Song Sung Blue. The Rays are looking for a new home. They are looking to scoop up land of a former community college. Let’s discuss. NPPOD.
