Today’s word of the day is ‘sunrise’ as in Florida as in Panthers as in South Florida as in back-to-back as in the NHL as in the Stanley Cup! The Panthers did it! How have they been so successful? What a franchise. Brad Marchand was brilliant. Sam Reinhart scored 4 goals! Sam Bennett won the Conn Smythe. And Connor McDavid goes home without the Cup again. Rafael Devers is ready to play everywhere for the Giants. Can you believe it? Review: MobLand. The Phillies did something that not many would do, they benched a player during a games played streak. Nick Castellanos was benched. NPPOD. Giving you a pick of the Thunder and Pacers game. The big story is will Tyrese Haliburton play? The Yankees are broken right now. Can’t score runs. Judge is slumping. Yuck! So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? It’s Wednesday! Someone asked me if I was MLB Commissioner… how would I grow the game? Would the NBA ever shorten the the season? Is it boring? Is it too long? Someone asked me about spring training games and dealing with disgruntled fans during spring training. Hmm. Someone asked me for forgiveness for puking on my golf bag. What? What was my favorite thing to do as a team president? What were the least favorite jobs I had to do? Should the Tigers bump Tarik Skubal to Thursday so fans get to see a Cy Young showdown between he and Paul Skenes? Bad free agents. The Angels are not the only team!

Today’s word of the day is ‘alignment’ as in Red Sox as in Rafael Devers as in Sam Kennedy as in Craig Breslow. That was the buzz word. What did Boston’s front office have to say? The usual! Another big surprise was how David Ortiz took to the media to defend the Red Sox. Never go against the family! The Okalhaom City Thunder have finally taken a series lead! Up 3-2 now after Jalen Williams and SGA had themselves a game. Tyrese Haliburton re-injured his calf and was held without a field goal! Review Rolling Along. Shohei Ohtani has returned for the Dodgers. He pitched 1 inning. That’s it. But he had the juice! NPPOD. Ippei Mizuhara is on his way to prison. The day Ohtani gets his start. LOL. Gage Wood threw a no-hitter in the College World Series yesterday! 19 strikeouts! Katie Phang joins the show! We break down ICE raids, protests, Trump, and more! Giancarlo Stanton is back for the Yankees, and they need him. The team can’t score right now. Five straight games of just poor offense. Four straight losses. What’s going on with the Commanders? Is the deal done or not? Attendance! MLB attendance is up right now! Biggest Father’s Day weekend in a long, long time! What about the Club World Cup? Why is the attendance all over the place? Is it the venue choice or a bigger issue?

Today’s word of the day is ‘fait accompli’ as in Rafael Devers as in the Boston Red Sox as in the San Francisco Giants as in traded. How did we get here? Who is to blame for this falling out? Craig Breslow? John Henry? Red Sox fans are furious about this — they think it’s Mookie Betts all over again. The Florida Panthers are a win away from a repeat! Brad Marchand is playing like a man possessed! Sam Bennett keeps scoring! What is going on with the NBA Finals? Everyone seems to be mad about something. There have been excellent games on the court, but the stories have been off the court. Review: Holy Cow. NPPOD. We have two stories about the Dodgers right now. Shohei Ohtani is back to pitching. He’ll be on the mound tonight. First time in almost 2 years he’ll pitch in an MLB game. The other is about Clayton Kershaw. I want to start hour 2 talking about how my weekend went. I went back to camp. What happened in Minnesota this weekend was a disgrace. What is wrong with this country? We continue to just not get it. What’s going on with the Washington Nationals? Falling apart and the manager just blamed the players. That’s it. Said it’s not on the coaches. Hmm. Are the baseballs different in MLB this year? Yes, but no one inside baseball will acknowledge it. Andrew McCutchen will! Desmond Bane was traded for a monster return to the Orlando Magic. It is over for Memphis. The Western Conference passed them by. Now the Magic have a real shot to do something in the East.

Today’s word of the day is ‘80.5’ as in percentage as in Pacers as in Thunder as in the NBA finals. The Pacers took Game 3 and now have an 80.5% chance to win the series according to past results. Tyrese Haliburton did it again. Another late run by the Pacers and the Thunder couldn’t stop it. Now just 2 games away from a title! What are the Knicks doing? The Knicks have asked 5 different teams to speak with its head coach and they all said no! What was the plan here? Kevin Durant wants out of Phoenix. What? Another trade!? Another team? Oh, what the Suns could have been. Review: Groundhog Day. The Athletic released its poll about Major League Baseball. Who did the players vote on the worst organizations? It’s not surprising! NPPOD. What is going on in Kansas City? Both of them! The Royals and the Chiefs want stadium money and who is going to pay? ICE and Border Patrol is the big thing in our country right now. With the FIFA Club World Cup being here, with the World Cup next year, things are scary for some. Let’s discuss this impact on sports, and the country. FIFA is basically giving away tickets to the opening game in Miami. The House Settlement has rocked the college world. We knew this would happen. Everyone knew this would happen. And the lawsuits are here. I want to spend some time about business and sports and movies, and when you know things are going bad. What if you don’t have the power to change those things?

Today’s word of the day is ‘simulated’ as in simulated games as in Shohei Ohtani as in pitching as in Dodgers as in rehab assignments as in bullpen sessions. Let’s cover everything about injuries and returns to play. We start with the Dodgers and their trio of big name arms: Ohtani, Snell, Glasnow. Let’s break down the rest of the Dodgers pitchers now, and some other big names in the league. Sean Manaea and Giancarlo Stanton had rehab assignments last night. Review: Sinners. The Phillies are not doing great right now. Injuries happen. But the bullpen isn’t good. The team is struggling. NPPOD. So You Wanna Talk to Samson time! It’s the 2nd hour! Our first question is about estate planning and why teams sell for these purposes. Hmm. Someone asked me about the MLB Draft. Will it ever be reformed? Why are there separate drafts for international players? Will there ever just be one draft? Someone asked me about the biggest fight or argument I ever saw in a clubhouse. This should be good. What do you think about Skener Wieners? Huh!? Someone asked me about the new deal between MLB and Jomboy Media. How do you feel about it? Should MLB be doing this? Someone asked me about the ABS system and the impact it will have on umpires, players, fans, and the league!

Today’s word of the day is ‘rattled’ as in Oilers as in Stanley Cup as in fighting as in the Florida Panthers. That’s right. A Game 3 thrashing by the Panthers and it’s now a 2-1 series lead. The Oilers looked like the Panthers just got to their heads and they couldn’t do anything but fight and commit penalty after penalty. The Panthers are deep, scoring from most shifts. The Oilers rely so much on McDavid and Draisaitl that when they dont produce, they lose. The Red Sox called up top prospect Roman Anthony yesterday and he debuted vs the Rays. Not a great game, but that’s not the story. Review: Better Sister.What is happening with Giannis? Is he staying? Will he request a trade? What will happen!? The Pacers are already focused on the offseason. Well, the front office is. What will happen with Myles Turner? NPPOD. Ken Rosenthal joins us! Let’s talk some baseball! A random conversation on the Astros sign-stealing? Sure! Who could be traded this year? Are the Orioles sellers? Is a lockout coming!? Private equity has come for college sports. It’s happened. Took 2 days after the House Settlement! The Club World Cup starts Saturday and we still have drama. How much fun! The MLS players are NOT happy about the pay. The Rays and Blue Jays are pushing the Yankees right now. Not the Red Sox, not the orioles. Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins came out and said he’d never play for the Yankees ever. He said he’d retire!

Today’s word of the day is ‘answer’ as in response as in Thunder as in NBA Finals as in Pacers as in SGA. Oklahoma City rolled in Game 2 like everyone thought they would. Heartbreak in Game 1, but this team knows how to respond. How about the NBA putting the logo on the court digitally? Were you a fan of that? Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner played one of the best tennis matches you’ll ever see in the French Open final. Amazing tennis. What a comeback. Couldn’t believe my eyes. On the opposite side we have Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff won her second Grand Slam. Sabalenka won the first set and then was outplayed. After the match… sore loser times a million. Review: Pee Wee as Himself Corbin Burnes is done for the season. Another pitcher needing Tommy John. Here we go again. I have never seen what happened to Ryan Weathers happen before. Drilled in the head by a throw to 2nd in a warmup. And he stayed in the game after being flat on the field. What? Are the Marlins serious? NPPOD. Something major happened in the NCAA this past Friday, the house settlement. Schools can now directly pay college athletes. MAJOR! Let’s talk about what will happen next. Tanking. Lawsuits. Drama. Transfers. You name it. Craig Kimbrel was DFA’d by after one game. Woof. Why did the Braves do this? The Rays stadium may be fixed. More and more money being spent to fix The Trop. How fun. Michael Jordan is in some trouble. This time in NASCAR. Let’s talk about why he’s in trouble and what could happen. NBA expansion. Is it happening or not? Is Seattle and Vegas getting a team or not?

Today’s word of the day is ‘precisely’ as in the Pacers as in Tyrese Haliburton as in the Thunder as in SGA as in NBA Finals. The Pacers did it again. Another comeback win late. How are they doing this? It looked like the Thunder were going to win by 50! And then Tyrese Haliburton hit a game-winner. The Thunder just crumbled in the final 2 minutes. The White Sox are for sale, but not really. Jerry Reinsdorf is ready to hand the team over to an Ishbia. Not the Suns owner, but his brother Justin! No later than 2034! Review: Mountainhead. Aaron Rodgers has joined the Steelers. How fun. The Steelers are suckers. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘McOverrated’ as in Connor McDavid as in the Edmonton Oilers as in NOT overrated. The Panthers jumped out to a 3-1 lead and blew it! Leon Draisaitl had the game-winner, McDavid had two assists. And Edmonton has the 1-0 series lead. Who doesn’t love playoff overtime? We will also break down taxes! Who doesn’t love taxes!? Rob Manfred met the media yesterday. He had a whole lot to say about some major things. ABS is coming to baseball. Robot umps? Kind of! Automated Ball-Strike System is here in 2026. Rob Manfred also spoke on the TV contracts. Where is the next media deal? Could be coming this July. He also had to comment on Pete Rose, Donald Trump, and the impact of the tariffs. Review: 500 Days of Summer. What is going on with the MLB salary cap? Is it happening? Will it happen? Should it happen? NBA Finals are here! Are you excited? NPPOD. Adam Silver talked about the NBA All-Star Game and guess what? The format has changed again! The game will be on NBC and next season the network has the Winter Olympics! Our Thursday guest this week is Pablo Torre and he has joined the show! FIFA is slashing prices for the Club World Cup already. Who could have seen this coming? Not even Messi could pull this many fans. Is it the stadium size? The Chicago Fire have lapped the Bears and the White Sox for a new stadium! What!? How did this happen!? The French Open is going on!

Today’s word of the day is ‘canned’ as in Thibs as in the Knicks as in James Dolan as in Leon Rose as in Jalen Brunson. After just 5 seasons Tom Thibodeau is out in New York. Eastern Conference Finals appearance? Who cares! Back-to-back 50-win seasons? Who cares! That’s what went down. What is happening with the Rays? Are they staying or leaving? Is the Trop being fixed or not? Is Florida giving the Rays money or not? Ron DeSantis is all over it! The Orioles are in a bad spot. The team is bad, but on a nice run right now. Disappointing team. Fans aren’t showing up like they have in the past few seasons. Review: Luckiest Man in America. (38:00) Wake Forest had to apologize for its head baseball coach after the team was eliminated from the College World Series. Tom Walter was caught on camera yelling an anti-gay slur at a Tennessee player. Uh oh. Consequences? Haven’t seen them. NPPOD. Let’s talk the Stanley Cup! It’s So You Wanna Talk to Samson hour! You asked the questions, and we have the answers! First question was about thanking the fans! I forgot to do it! OOOOOF! Someone asked me about Canadian teams and how much harder it is to win because of currency change. Is this a real thing? Let’s discuss! What’s happening with MLB broadcasts? The Arizona Diamondbacks local broadcast was taken over by MLB and it’s been seamless. Nice. But what happens when MLB makes new TV deals. Someone asked me if I could cover gambling and the moves by gambling companies. Or if I have to bow down to the powers that be. (35:00) What happens if the Rays and A’s make the playoffs? Where would they play home games? Can’t be where they both currently play! Will the Pirates trade Paul Skenes? NO!
