Today's word of the day is 'acquiescence' as in Todd Gurley going public saying Deion Sanders didn't want him to wear the no. 21 jersey for the Falcons (0:06). MLB is Japan!? Should we book our plane tickets now!? NO! It won't happen (3:10). I know you're all fans of the CPBL, right? You know, the Chinese Professional Baseball League, which had Opening Day on Sunday? Well, it's season has started in Taiwain, with no fans (9:11). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me what my view was of Ronda Rousey coming out publicly with some very negative comments about fans (13:05). A NASCAR driver has now been suspended without pay for a using a racist remark in an iRacing event. Kyle Larson should be ashamed of himself, and I'm ashamed that his racing team, Chip Ganassi Racing, didn't come out stronger in their statement (19:24). Shaq offered Isiah Rider $10K to fight Kobe Bryant which reminded me of a great story about Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez (26:47). Review - Oliver (32:31). MLBeard Challenge Day 27-29: Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, Washington Nationals (37:37). My pick to win it all was Trae Young in the H-O-R-S-E competition and he lost in the first round... I'm back with a winner though! #waittosee
