Why Didn't Springer Run? (10/23) Oct 23, 2019

Show notes

Los Angeles is clearly home to the Lakers which gives the Clippers all the more reason to move. [0:07] With all the drama going on with the Astros front office I'll tell you what the Owners Suite was probably like. [1:00] In-game decisions impact everything - here's what each team got right and wrong. George Springer could have made it to 3rd base if he was sprinting. [5:59] This is not a debate. John Elway comments on trading Emmanuel Sanders, but what was he really saying? [10:00] The Cubs lied about their coaching search - David Ross was always getting the job. [12:57] Let's hope Joe Girardi has changed since 2005. [17:26] Raptors got their championship rings last night and that reminds me of a great story about my World Series ring. [22:20] "Mic'd Up" segments are great for owners and fan and here's how it all works. [31:55] Game 2 of the World Series is tonight and the most pressure is on....? [35:17]Today I review 'Yellowstone', the show, not the national park. [39:42] Where does Joe Girardi end up in 2020? #waittosee

Houston, we already have a World Series problem (10/22) Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Tom Brady is looking to sell his house, does that mean he's also out the door? [0:19] World Series starts tonight and before we talk about the game, let's talk about the series. [1:06] I lay out everything you need to know about both teams. As far as tonight goes, this is a baseball fan's dream come true. Cole vs Scherzer then tomorrow Verlander vs Strasburg. The Jets have been seeing ghosts for years now, but Sam Darnold and Adam Gase realized firsthand that Bill Belichick is the Bogeyman. [9:52] The NBA scheduling tip-off against the World Series is a problem - let's discuss why. NBA stars moving out west is not what the NBA wants and Zion being hurt is not what the NBA needs. [14:53] We have some BREAKING NEWS concerning the Houston Astros! I'll tell you why their front office should be ashamed of themselves... this is big. [24:56] Instead of one review, I'll give you my top 5 Baseball movies of all time. [40:14] Debate me if you dare. Who wins a title first in LA... Clippers or Lakers? #waittosee

Matt Nagy needs to stop talking, and just coach (10/21) Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

Aaron Judge said the Yankees season was 'a failure' so let's take a dive into what went wrong. Where do the Yankees go from here? Jalen Ramsey miraculously recovered from his back injury after he was traded. Did Shad Khan make the right decision? This situation with the Jets and Kelechi Osemele is going to get uglier and fast. When an owner endorses his coach in a losing season I'll fill you in on what he's really saying. Bears head coach Matt Nagy had an all-time moment at his presser - I have some strong advice for him and how he should handle his players. I'll tell you why Roger Goodell was wrong for fining Clay Matthews and Baker Mayfield for saying what everyone has been thinking. Review of the day is a Tom Brady/Paul Rudd mashup. Now that you know what Arthur Blank is really saying about Dan Quinn - will he be the head coach in 2020? #Waittosee

Here's what Jordan, Jeter, and Elway have in common (10/18) Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

Brian Cashman and the new look Yankees were made to make it TO October but not THROUGH October. [0:42] We all reacted the same way when Patrick Mahomes got hurt, but I'll fill you on what went down behind the scenes. [7:14] Zion's knees have always been a red flag - here's how it'll impact the Pelicans financially. [10:51] Joe Girardi is the finalist for two different NL East managerial jobs - which one do I believe he should get? [13:39] The NFL wants a 17-game season and London is going to be the avenue to provide that. [18:01] Athletes shouldn't be owners - no one told that to Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, and John Elway so I will. [21:24] China/NBA heats back up when Silver comments on it for no reason. [26:56] The NCAA has to deal with Mitt Romney now, or do they? [31:21] We review my movie of the day and it should have a special place in Yankees fans hearts. [37:04] I'm a big fan of Elway the player, but I have bad news for Elway the owner - what is it? #waittosee

Hey Draymond, I got some news for you! (10/17) Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

Kyle Shanahan was very honest about his time in Washington, [0:30] but he didn't need to burn bridges. Draymond Green had some choice words for the Phoenix Suns so I let him in on some news. [5:06] He can love it or hate it, but it's nothing personal. Did Bryce Harper's deal hurt the players? [9:05] Yup, and I'll tell you why owners are celebrating. Boxing needs some serious changes and so do we as fans. [16:15] Game 4 of the ALCS is tonight and I'll fill you in on everything you need to know from what Brian Cashman is thinking to how I expect it to play out. [23:00] Pittsburgh's Mayor gave me a case of deja ju. [29:18] Review of the Day is 'Man In the High Castle'. Today's #Waittosee is courtesy of John Calipari and the NBA. [42:32] Will the NBA draft expand to more rounds? And my Pick of the Night is comes from Game 4 of the ALCS - let's hope this pick is better than my first two #Waittosee.

We're In the Midst of a Player Revolt (10/16) Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

The Nationals have finally made the World Series and I'd like to take a little credit for that [0:06]. How did we manage to break the trophy after winning the pennant in 2003 [5:07]? Roger Goodell continues to address the public as if we're all fools [8:33]. Yes, tanking is real. Yes, there's an officiating problem [10:05]. No, Roger, we don't believe you. Jalen Ramsey's trade request reaffirms my opinion that a player revolt is ongoing [11:48]. How should owners handle this? Joe Maddon gets to return home to Anaheim to manage the Angels, but what sort of mess is he walking into [16:26]? Do executives root for players they traded away? 'Screwball' is the Review of the Day (I can't believe I compliment Billy Corben) [31:35]. We end with more baseball - the ALCS Game 4 being postponed and how this impacts the series, and how much money will Gerrit Cole get in free agency [35:01] #waittosee.
