Nothing Personal with David Samson

Today’s word of the day is ‘integrity’ as in respect as in competitive integrity as in covid integrity as in what happened last night with the Philadelphia Eagles showed none of it. Eagles coach Doug Pederson pulled his starting QB Jalen Hurts down 3 to the WFT for the back up back up Nate Sudfeld… how did it work out? A disaster. Eagles lose the game, Giants miss the playoffs, WFT make the playoffs. What a day. Doug Pederson’s postgame comments were a joke (0:06). What else happened yesterday? The New York Jets finally fired Adam Gase. It was bound to happen. We all knew it was going to happen. It happened (13:33). What about the Dolphins with Tua? How are there actually people saying it’s time to move on from him? Absolutely not (22:16). So You Wanna Talk Samson!? Someone asked me if front offices try to influence coaches to make decisions when a player has an incentive bonus on the line. Lovely (26:20). Review - Bridgerton (38:00). Let’s end the show with a massive Wait To See update. We have 10 of them. These are things I told you were either going to happen or not happen, and if I was right or wrong, ACCOUNTABILITY (43:00)! #waitttosee--------------------------'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s word of the day is ‘released’ as in let go as in here’s the door as in Ron Rivera and the Washington Football Team have released QB Dwayne Haskins. Just yesterday Ron Rivera said he wanted to see improvement from Haskins and later that afternoon Haskins was released. Well, what happened here? How did this move so quickly from improvement to release (0:06)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about the San Diego Padres and the possibility of narrowing the gap between the Los Angeles after acquiring Blake Snell and Yu Darvish. Why did the Chicago Cubs do this? Money (11:30)! Here is some advice for Steve Cohen and the New York Mets. He should listen because there are some mistakes he’s making that he could learn from me (26:40). Review - Death to 2020 and Under The Grapefruit Tree (33:00). Daryl Morey is at it again! He posted something about James Harden on Twitter and was fined $50K for breaking an anti-tampering rule.

Today’s word of the day is ‘improvement’ as in to get better as in the word you don’t want to hear when your coach is speaking about you as in what Ron Rivera wanted to see from Dwayne Haskins… but it didn’t happen. Haskins had the chance to play for the NFC East title and he just wasn’t good. He was benched in the second half, rumors swirled after the game that he shunned the media (which wasn’t really the case), but when the media tweets start firing, the truth doesn’t matter anymore (0:06). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Ryan Fitzpatrick leading the Dolphins to a win what would I do with Tua (12:00). Review - Tenet (28:30). Blake Snell has been traded by Tampa Bay to San Diego in what some are calling a blockbuster trade! Who won the trade? Should you ever deal with Tampa (33:50)? Let’s end the show with some wait to sees! Where will DJ, Bauer, Springer, and the fun friends end up in 2021 (41:40)? #waittosee--------------------------'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s word of the day is ‘extortion’ as in the practice in obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats as in what WFT owner Daniel Snyder says is happening to him from HIS OWN LIMITED PARTNER! Excuse me? Snyder alleges that minority owner Dwight Schar is trying to blackmail him and has been leaking sensitive material to the media (0:06)! What else could go wrong with that team? Dwayne Haskins had his Captainship taken away for breaking covid protocol to party with strippers. Nice (17:50)! James Harden was partying, but he says it was NOT with strippers. Bummer (21:36)! What’s happening with Daryl Morey? He’s now in Philadelphia with the Sixers and he had some things to say. Right now 76ers and Rockets games are the only two not being aired in China. I wonder why (26:22)? Review - Top 5 Christmas movies (36:45). #waittosee--------------------------'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s word of the day is ‘relief’ as in the COVID relief bill as in $600 per person as a stimulus check that won’t relieve anyone. Was it enough? Is this going to help anyone? What misinformation is being spread about this new bill? Will Donald Trump veto this bill to get more money into the relief bill (0:06)? Kevin Durant returned to the NBA for the Brooklyn Nets. It was his first game since June 2019 after suffering an achilles injury. The Los Angeles Lakers lost their opening game to the Los Angeles Clippers on Ring Night! The NBA is back (11:08)! So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Noah Syndergaard and his new one-year deal with the New York Mets. They wanted to know if I would have settled with him if I were the Mets (18:22). Review - The Night Of (28:35). What do Dwayne Haskins and James Harden has in common? They were both spotted out at strip clubs maskless! DISASTER! Will we see selective discipline this time around (40:35)? #waittosee--------------------------'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s word of the day is ‘already’ as in it’s here again as in there’s no way time moves this fast as in the NBA is back! It feels like just yesterday the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title. How can the NBA already be back? COVID shut down the NBA back in March and that feels like it was 10 years ago. So what is happening this season (0:06)? The Toronto Raptors are now temporarily the Tampa Raptors, which got the commissioner, Adam Silver, answering questions about expansion (5:13). James Harden and Houston Rockets relationship is officially toxic. What a terrible distraction this has become for that team. What can be done? Anything (13:42)? BREAKING NEWS! A report by the Washington Post was just released that says that WFT team owner Daniel Snyder settled a sexual misconduct claim for $1.6M back in 2009. Oh boy! There is a war going on in the board room of this team and dirty secrets are being revealed. Will Snyder be forced to sell now (24:15)? Review - Let Him Go (30:05). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Trevor Bauer. They wanted to know how teams gather information about players who have some ‘issues’. (33:40) My pick of the day is now horrible. I am taking the rest of year off from giving picks. Just cannot do it. Will the picks return in 2021? #waittosee--------------------------'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.

Today’s word of the day is ‘Wagner’ as in Jack Wagner as in All I need is just a little more time as in the New England Patriots have officially been eliminated from the NFL playoff hunt. Woof. Bill Belichick is in his first season without Tom Brady in a very long time. This is the first time since 2008 the Patriots won’t be in the playoffs and what thoughts are going through Bill Belichick’s head? Let’s discuss. BREAKING! David Tepper and the Carolina Panthers have fired their GM Marty Hurney. That’s not the story here; the story is that David Tepper gave one of the most ridiculous quotes EVER about the firing. The New York Jets have won a game! It happened! The fan base is DESPONDENT! The players are celebrating! And now because of this win the Jacksonville Jaguars are in the driver seat for Trevor Lawrence. Oh, no… Review - Alabama Snake. A report came out that Carson Wentz is mad. Very, very mad. The Philadelphia Eagles benched him in place of Jalen Hurts and Hurts had a great game in a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Wentz is mad because he is paid like a franchise QB money, has not been playing like a franchise QB, but still wants to start. Did the Eagles handle this correctly? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me if Charlie Woods would win the Masters one day. I guess we’ll have to #waittosee Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today’s word of the day is ‘smoke’ as in where there’s smoke there’s fire as in NBA saw smoke and found a massive fire. Los Angeles Clippers executive Jerry West is being sued by a man for $2.5M. WHAT!? Johnny Wilkes says that he helped West land Kawhi Leonard and that West promised him big money for landing him. Now the NBA is investigating this situation. What a mess. So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me why the NFL and CBS would team up to produce a broadcast direct towards kids. Nickelodeon is bringing the slime, the cartoons, the fun! Review - I’m Your Woman. The Houston Rockets are now trying everything to rid themselves of James Harden. Now there are leaks happening with the 76ers and Ben Simmons being available, but Daryl Morey says he’s not available, but James Harden is available, but will he be traded? #waittosee  Learn more about your ad choices.
