Nothing Personal with David Samson Minor League housing, Major League crisis; Is Mike McCarthy a lame duck coach for the Dallas Cowboys? (Episode 528)
Today’s word of the day is ‘feasible’ as in Minor League housing as in drama is back! MLB owners announced they would take care of housing for some minor leaguers and now we have some more issues. The MLB lockout is only for Major League players on a roster… everyone else, sorry. So let’s dissect the latest issues and what MLB had to say about it. MiLB players also won’t be required to be vaccinated for this season. Staff, yes. Players, no. Why is this? LOCKOUT! (15:00) What’s going on with Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys? He was safe and then Sean Payton stepped down in New Orleans. Is he still safe? Yes, because Payton isn’t coaching in 2022. Dan Quinn announced he’d be back in Dallas… maybe that’s why McCarthy is staying? NO! Jerry Jones wants Payton so he’ll wait until Payton is ready. *cough cough* 2023. (23:10) Review: As We See It. (28:10) Let’s talk about football or soccer or futbol. FIFA President Gianni Infantino had one of the worst quotes of all time. This man had the audacity to say the World Cup should be every two years so African countries could have more hope and not die at sea trying to find a better life. WHAT!? (32:55) NPPOD. (37:45) What is going on with the Arizona Coyotes? They were locked out of their arena in Glendale. They are still looking for a home… and it could be Arizona State University. Embarrassing. (42:15) Let’s update ourselves on Meyers Leonard. He was traded by the Miami Heat and then cut by Oklahoma City after shouting an anti-Semitic remark streaming video games. What has he done since? Everything he should have done since; education, outreach, change. And we’ll end with David Bateman, who was a chairman for a tech company in Utah, and he blamed Jews for covid. Just more horrible antisemitism. Be better.
