Today’s word of the day is ‘shockbuster’ as in shocking as in blockbuster as in Luka Doncic as in Anthony Davis as in the Lakers as in the Mavericks. What in the world happened? We are all stunned. Why did the Mavericks do this? There are so many more questions than answers here. De’Aaron Fox was traded to the Spurs. Great get for Wemby! The Bulls shipped out Zach Levine. Here comes the tank. Sorry, Chicago. When will the Jimmy Butler saga end? Will it ever end? He has reportedly told the Warriors he won’t sign there. So what is left? NPPOD. Review: Bad Sisters Season 2. Shohei Ohtani gave an update on his pitching. Could it be by May? Earlier? Do the Dodgers need to rush him back? Jack Flaherty is back with the Tigers. He was traded by the Tigers to the Dodgers last year. Always fun. Faye Vincent died over the weekend. Former MLB commissioner.

Today’s word of the day is ‘Steinbrenner’ as in Hal Steinbrenner as in the Yankees as in the Dodgers. Hal came out and essentially said not even us, the mighty Yankees, can keep up with the Dodgers. Wow. The Dodgers are donating $100 million to the LA fire recovery effort. Incredible gesture. Max Scherzer is in Toronto now. $15.5 million for one year. Really? NPPOD. Review: Dune 2. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Bryce Mitchell’s absurd comments and the lack of punishment from the UFC and Dana White. Interesting. Justin Tucker has found himself in a place no one should be in. The same place Deshaun Watson is in. Another massage therapy problem. Another investigation into gambling in sports. Here we go again. This time it’s about Terry Rosier, but it’s the same ring that got Jontay Porter ban!

Today’s word of the day is there is none. We are going to start with the plane crash in DC last night. Horrible. Unimaginable. Disaster. Heartbreaking. Is the NBA about to make some major changes? Adam Silver seems to think changing the length of games is key. What!? Shorter games? That’s your fix? Caitlin Clark is not participating in NBA All-Star Weekend. There were rumors she may. Should the Super Bowl trophy be named after Tom Brady? No more Lombardi? That’s what Bill Belichick thinks! Review: Silkwood. Utah Hockey Club. That’s the name. But not for long, maybe? Could have been the Yeti, but it was denied. How could this be? NPPOD. Apple and MLS are already making changes. Oh boy.

Today’s word of the day is ‘chopped off’ as in Raiders as in Mark Davis as in Tom Brady in Pete Carroll as in Jon Gruden. What? Why was Mark Davis bringing up Jon Gruden? Why was that a topic? Is Mark Davis furious with the NFL still? Paul George is mad that Indiana hasn’t given him any tributes. Who makes these decisions for the Pacers? The bigger story that George should worry about is playing with the Sixers. He misses time. Joel Embiid is missing time. So much money, so many missed games. And no rings to show for it. NPPOD. Review: Black Box Diaries. Jake and Logan Paul are marketing geniuses. Doesn’t matter what they are doing. They are getting paid. What is happening with the Rays? Are they leaving? Are they staying? Are they building? NFL ratings are out for conference champion weekend. Huge numbers in the AFC. Bad numbers in the NFC.

Today’s word of the day is ‘disregard’ as in Jimmy Butler as in Miami Heat as in suspension as in suspension as in suspension. This is his 3rd one in a month. Missing practice, missing flights, walking out of practices. What is happening!? Jerry Jones is starting to lose it. The things he’s starting to say. The way he’s starting to act. The Dallas Cowboys have some problems. Is this a new era for the Jets? Aaron Glenn was introduced. Woody Johnson is ready to evolve, he says! Review: Lee. Is a salary cap coming to MLB? Orioles owner David Rubenstein is advocating for it. Publicly. Wow. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Commanders being warned about giving up a TD for all the offside penalties against the Eagles. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘3-peat or ready. Set. Three’ as in the Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl to try and win three straight. I can’t believe it. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and Travis Kelce. The Bills were so close, but Josh Allen fell short again. The Eagles are back in the Super Bowl! It’s a rematch! The Eagles ran all over the Commanders. They couldn’t stop the freight train that was Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley. AJ Brown showed up. I wonder who Daniel Snyder was rooting for in this one. Brian Schottenheimer is the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. What a hire. Way to get things going in Dallas. Review: Hacks. Steve Cohen had some harsh words about Pete Alonso and Scott Boras. Woof. Jose Altuve will move to left field if the team brings Alex Bregman back. Wow. NPPOD

Today’s word of the day is ‘credible’ as in the Jaguars as in Shad Khan as in Trent Baalke as in fired. What is going on? Is Shad Khan lost in the sauce? Fired the coach 2 weeks ago.

Today’s word of the day is ‘first ballot’ as in first ballot Hall of Fame as in Ichiro as in CC as in Wagner. That’s it. The whole class is three players. And Ichiro missed being unanimous by just one single vote. Just like Derek Jeter. Unreal. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Paul Skenes rookie card bounty and what the Pirates should offer now. They also want to know if I would sign Skenes longterm now. Hm. Review: Blue Velvet. The Chicago Bears went big and hired Ben Johnson. The hottest name in NFL coaching. They needed to make a splash for Caleb Williams. College sports have changed everything. Now comes the ugly. Wisconsin and the Big Ten are ready to battle Miami and a player over a transfer. Here is why. NPPOD.
