Today's word of the day is '   ' it's silence. A moment of silence. Jimmy Butler has asked the NBA if he could have his last name removed from his jersey when play resumes. NBA has opened up pandora's box with this jersey situation. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Joel Embiid are going with their last names. Some players are going with messaging like 'freedom' or 'equality'. The NBA messed this up (0:06). CONFERENCE CALL! Let's role play what it must be like for players to call the NBA Snitch Line (6:23). With sports starting to come back there is a lot of confusion concerning players choosing to opt-out. Let's walk through everything you need to know about this situation. There are major differences between David Price, Ellena Della Donne, Carlos Vela, and Buster Posey (13:35). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Friday's podcast when I talked about the idea of mob mentality when talking about Desean Jackson. They asked why do I feel there was a much bigger reaction over Drew Brees’s comments on the flag than Desean Jackson’s comment (26:03). Review - Irresistible (32:50). MLB players have a problem. A very big problem this season. It comes in the form of vesting options. JA Happ has to hit a specific number of incentives in order to have his contract next season guaranteed. This is not good for the shortened season (37:15). #waittosee
