Today’s word of the day is ’ham-mered’ as in Darvin Ham is likely gone as in LeBron James can’t beat the Nuggets as in what are the Lakers going to do. Why would they invest in 40-year old LeBron?

Review: An American Bombing. NPPOD. Yankees and Orioles are playing a 4-game series. Orioles took Game 1. How meaningful is it? F1 is having some problems.

Today’s word of the day is ’consensus loser’ as in mock drafts as real drafts as NFL draft as in Atlanta Falcons as in Kirk Cousins as in Michael Penix. What were the Falcons thinking? Let’s try and break down this selection of Penix Jr and why Atlanta would do this after giving Cousins $180 million. David Tepper showed up to a Charlotte bar that had a sign that was critical of him outside it. Looks as if it was a friendly encounter, but was it necessary? We have an update on the MLBPA fight against Nike’s uniforms. They blasted Nike over it. Not Fantatics! Wonder why… MLB did not comment. Jackson Holliday was sent down to the Minors after 10 games. He hasn’t been good at the MLB level. The Kansas City Chiefs & Royals are no longer working together on stadiums. Public voted against them. Now they’re against one another. Review: Half Baked 2. NPPOD. The Phoenix Suns got swept in the first round. See ya. $260 million roster and they get nothing. Perfect. Joel Embiid said he’s not calling out Philly fans but then called out Philly fans for all the Knicks fans that showed up.

It’s another mailbag! Sorry still out of the country! Did you enjoy the NFL draft? Did your team get everything right? Someone asked me about the NPDS Tour and how things are going. Thank you for asking. Let’s talk about the biggest sports business stories that interest me moving forward. It’s it just the RSNs? Why aren’t cities building stadiums for multiple team use? Someone asked me if there was something I wish I paid more attention to while building Marlins Park. Do the Olympics still matter? Paris games are coming up in under 100 days. The clock is ticking. The Dream Team is there! Someone asked me about my love of movies and how it relates to my life. What else would I have done?

Today’s word of the day is ’rinse & repeat’ as in another stadium as in another press conference as in another handshake deal as in the Chicago Bears. Another big time announcement with renderings! What are the Dallas Cowboys doing? Jerry Jones has decisions to make on all his top players. Micah Parsons the DE is up soon. Dak Prescott is up soon. CeeDee Lamb is up soon. Uh oh! Quick side note on Deshaun Watson and his trip to Saudi Arabia. Are you kidding me? Review: Milk. Blake Snell is on the IL. Bad starts. Bad ERA. Now hurt. NPPOD. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the draft. How much goes into drafting or trading players when it comes to character vs talent.

Today’s word of the day is ’expectations’ as in the Dodgers as in World Series as in Shohei Ohtani as in Mookie Betts as in Freddie Freeman as in 100 games as in slow start. The Dodgers were supposed to be juggernauts, but why have they not performed like it? Ohtani and Betts have. The bats are alive, but the record is mediocre. Hey, White Sox fans… are you ready for a new ballpark? Are you excited? Worst record in baseball, but Reinsdorf still wants a stadium deal with public money! We have an update on the NBA TV rights deals. ESPN and TNT will be able to match ANY offers the NBA gets. Linear, yes. Streaming, yes. Will this impact bids from NBC or Apple or Amazon? Review: Kiss Me Kosher. NPPOD. We have a MAJOR announcement from the FTC. Noncompete clauses.. goodbye!

Today’s word of the day is ’mental fortitude’ as in running as in the London Marathon as in tired as in sore. Yes, I ran the marathon. Yes, I am exhausted. Yes, I’d do it again. The Denver Nuggets have taken a 2-0 series lead on the Los Angeles Lakers. Nikola Jokic is too much, too good. But, the big story was LeBron James calling out the referees. Oh boy. Even more drama in the Knicks and Sixers game. The Knicks score 6 points in 14 seconds. Were there fouls? Were there timeouts? None were called! Aaron Boone’s ejection was caught on live video with audio. Shocking stuff for fans. MLB has a problem. Review: Ripley. What’s going on at college campuses is pretty stark. Patriots owner Robert Kraft has pulled his funding from Columbia. What’s the latest on the Athletics move to Vegas? Is it happening? Is it not happening? NPPOD.

It all happens on Thursday. What will the Bears do? What will the Commanders do? What will the Patriots do? Let’s talk about beat reporters. Who controls them? Do teams do it? Boras clients. Bad spring. Better fall? Let’s talk about uniforms. It’s Fanatics now. Sweat everywhere. Now late orders to teams. Fun!

Today’s word of the day is ’relocated’ as in relocation as in Arizona as in Utah as in Coyotes as in *blank* as in hockey! The team has been sold to Ryan Smith, the owner of the Utah Jazz. But! The Coyotes name and likeness stays in Arizona. Oh? NPPOD. Let’s talk about NBA playoff injuries. Jimmy Butler hurt. Zion Williamson hurt. Review: Steve Martin Documentary. Mets are at the Dodgers tonight. Remember when the Mets were bad? Remember when the Dodgers would go 162-0? We have another update on Larry Nassar. Disgrace. Disgusting. Pathetic. Let’s talk about Boban and the free chicken shots. Should the NBA have an issue with this?

Today’s word of the day is ’banned’ as in gambling as in NBA as in Jontay Porter as in Adam Silver as in see ya. Jontay Porter, younger brother of Michael Porter Jr, has been banned from the NBA. Betting on games… really? Giving confidential information away? Bad bad bad! So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me if Robert Kraft would really torpedo Bill Belichick’s chances at a job with the Falcons… whoa. Review: Everything Everywhere All at Once. What has happened to the Chicago White Sox? They are bad. They have been bad. Will it get any better? What has happened to the Colorado Rockies? They are bad. They have been bad. Will it get any better? What happened to the Houston Astros?

Today’s word of the day is ’the end’ as in it’s the end of the dynasty as we know it as in the Golden State Warriors as in see ya. The Kings beat the Warriors by 24 in the play-in tournament. Klay Thompson missed every shot he took. Steph Curry couldn’t get hot. What happens next? The Lakers have advanced to the playoffs. Now they play the Denver Nuggets. LeBron and Anthony Davis vs Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray… again! But a big shoutout to Zion Williamson and his performance last night. The WNBA draft was the biggest ever. Blew MLB & NHL out of the water. Caitlin Clark’s impact is real. Can the WNBA capitalize on this? Review: Boys State. Did you watch the Masters? The final round was down 20%. YIKES! NPPOD. Jerry Reinsdorf is going to take his teams off NBC and put them on Stadium. Who owns Stadium? Reisndorf!
