Show Notes


Today’s word of the day is ‘substance’ as in foreign substance as in new MLB memo says every ball will be studied. MLB says they will have ball monitors and dugout monitors and substance monitors and every monitor you can think of to make sure pitchers aren’t doctoring the balls. How is this going to work? What is MLB trying to figure out? (13:22) So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the NHL firing an official after he was caught on a hot mic saying he wanted to give a penalty to Nashville. (22:26) NPPOD. (25:25) What happens during a trade deadline? How do athletes ask teams about trades? What do they do on deadline day? (35:10) Review: The Last Blockbuster. (39:15) The Washington Football team will be owned in full by Daniel Snyder. Reports say he’ll be in complete control and he’ll be able to buyout the minority owners. Not just that, but the team may keep this name moving forward because of ‘traditions’… always fun to discuss the WFT.
