Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau after Eastern Conference Finals exit! Did the Knicks do the right thing!?
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!
