    for a guy who takes everything personally
  • DJ Delish
    More Dan!
    More Dan and Dave or Dave and Dan!!

    Explains things well
    He gives more details and context than other podcasts, and is great at “here’s how this works behind the scenes.” Lots of other sports commentators assume we know the ins and outs of how salary caps work, contract structures, etc. David explains that side of sports really well because of his experience as a Marlins exec.

    Great Ep.
    Great episode with Jeff Berry. Healthy disagreement and discourse always makes for good content and you do well with it.

    David
    Love the show keep it up !
  • Tbuwalda
    Usually, I love the show
    I really like the daily show, despite levels always being off. However, these live shows from the tour are making me cringe. They feel sort of unhinged.
  • RedFox4224
    Great Podcast for all sports fans!
    Hey David. Thanks for always covering a variety of topics. My question is do minor league baseball teams create their schedule based on major league schedules. An example is the Atlanta Braves and Gwinnett Stripers. The AAA affiliate is about 45ish min away. Wouldn’t the minor league team benefit from scheduling home games when the Braves are away? Thanks JG2

    Random
    Is it a baseball show? A sports show? A film review show? Or a political show? Depends on how the wind is blowing I guess. I really wish people would stop pushing political agendas in everything that is not politics, it’s everywhere these days. I downloaded a baseball podcast to listen to baseball related things, period.
  • The-embassy
    Brilliant
    Great insight into baseball and sports business. Thoughtful, intelligent, and provocative with clarity.
  • Denver Real Estate Insider
    No show today?
    I’m not seeing the show on my feed.
  • teg_dog
    Yeah

    Shows Bleepin’ Great
    David is extremely professional about the show but doesn’t take himself too seriously while giving more than a look behind the curtain of MLB & its inter-webbings. David’s hate of Scott Borass quickly becomes a delight, he has human mishap moments that seem to cost him $5, Half baked movie cut intros & his deep knowledge of why & how teams work or don’t work make it bleepin’ great
  • Gr2323
    Informative and entertaining!
    Samson is super smart with a wildly refreshing perspective and personality! Great podcast
  • perspective1
    No one
    No one actually listens to this. It just seems like people do because it gets auto-downloaded on LeBatard and Friends

    Sons of Anarchy
    Hello David You should try sons of anarchy you will not be disappointed
  • D Trapp
    Must be nice to be white
    You have a very big blind spot if you think what the Supreme Court did will have no effect. University of Michigan only had 9% black students when they decided it was unfair and now what is it about 4%. And that was before the Supreme Court. Black people have never gotten a “fair” chance to succeed. Just because you don’t “see color “ doesn’t mean others in places of power don’t. Wait to see!!!!! Enrollment of ethnic people will drop everywhere! We’ll check back and see. Promise I will check back!

    Why is this explicit
    Why did this podcast change to explicit??
  • ZHolter
    So you want to talk to Samson
    Hi David I know you have a wait to see the Ichiro will be the first fielder to get 100%. But do you have a list of players you feel should have been 100%. I’d start my list with Ken Griffey Jr.
  • phil8989001
    It’s Arlington Heights
    Dear David, Know you’re a perfectionist so please know when discussing the Chicago Bears they’re considering moving to Arlington Heights, a Chicago suburb NOT Arlington. Details. Thanks for the great show.
  • aceOSU
    Cutter Philly is not for me Gauthier
    Hellloooo David, Fascinated by this Cutter Gauthier story. Have you ever experienced a situation where a top pick of your refused to play for you? Seems bizarre especially in a city like Philadelphia, what can it be??? Anyway his return trips to the city of brotherly love gonna be a little extra spicy.

    Uniforms
    Love the show and the insight. Question...? Who decides when the team gets a new uniform design? What is the process and who gets final say in approving the design and logo ? Thanks in advance
  • mikeji78
    Hello David
    With the Dodgers paying Ohtani 2 million for 10 years then starting in 2034 paying him 68 million for 10 years. Does that mean in 2034 68 million will go against their cap or is it now separate? Love the show. Happy Holidays!

    Refreshing
    David Sampson’s ‘Nothing Personal’ offers a new and refreshing view on sports and more. Hearing current events spun through the lens of his past experiences as an executive is captivating and thought provoking. This is a great daily listen!

    The man can down the hot sauce.

    Informative pod
    Good podcast to see how the business people in sports think. Samson is a good guy at heart so give him a chance and you’ll enjoy the podcast.

    Black Friday Podcast
    Thanks for producing a show when most others don’t. A big effort! Does no TV remote mean no movie reviews? Check the between the cushions again. It has to be there.
  • Scott Cousi
    Addicting!
    Great show, clear and concise, look forward to listening every day. Will sit in my car in my driveway if it’s not finished as my wife and dogs stare at me out the window! Enjoy the movie reviews too!
  • Retired good for the soul
    Always interesting

    A daily must listen
    I look forward each morning to listening to NPDS. David provides a perspective that many in sports do not have, and I enjoy learning about the business side of sports.

    Gaza is an out door prison /camp your rant was so one sided and personal I can’t support this.

    Strictly Business
    Fair enough to bash Sanders for his less than cogent take on baseballs Anti-Trust Exemption, but how about some equal time addressing the insanity of the other side. Trickle Down Economics for example, the right wings rationalization for exploitation. Rich people put their money in off-shore bank accounts, very very little trickles down, you hoard it rather than spend it. The very wealthy are destroying the infrastructure and future of the United States by not paying their fair share. They got rich off the very infrastructure they are now exploiting and destroying for profit. Thanks for the only decent take take on Freeman…. Given the situation in the world right now a rich white man sobbing about his move from Atlanta to LA is ridiculous, especially given that greed was the cause. Being an ‘Owner,’ is to be on the wrong side of history.

    Interstate turn of events
    I remember you popping in before and I don’t have solid timelines but I disliked you very much. Somewhere a long the line I started I liking you. I think more towards your in-studio performances I started liking you. Man I love your show. Kinda throwback. Funky. I dig it man. Line of the show - “I’m not one to talk about a mg movie but Lethal Weapon is Lethal Weapon” Stay classy San Diego.

    The best
    Terrific show, fantastic insight.
  • BCW1500
    Best!
    By far my favorite sports podcast!
  • BIGCHAV!
    Great show
    Great show. Nothing else to say.
  • drdavedsb
    Almost strictly business.
    Sampson is arguably in the top five sports savvy commentators ever. He’s not a professional athlete, journalist or broadcaster but… he gives the insider view of how and why sports business is “just business “ but it’s not. Good stuff.
  • Loggizzo
    Not enough resources
    Doesnt get nearly enough publicity, investment, or producers as Pablo Torre Finds Out so why should i listen???
  • mungermunson
    Dear sir
    I am a fan of the show. Want to just say thank you for letting yourself being the butt sometimes. But also standing up for yourself. I don’t have your money but I can relate. I appreciate you sir.
  • bigmp2
    Appreciation
    Love how much you respect and appreciate your listeners. I have learned how to love baseball again by listening to you.
  • Clay534
    David went too far
    Cheering the billionaire who doesn’t know he earned his wealth off the backs of the underpaid make you look awful. Taking a break from the show until I hear an apology on the le Batard show. David is so privileged he cannot understand struggling for a living wage. Shame on you
  • Cj2kbj
    Great Insight
    Great insight into sport business. Provides unfiltered content with no agenda.
  • PodSquadXX
    Get rid of this bum, Meadowlark
    If I could leave zero stars, I would. As a loyal follower of everything in the LeBatard world for over a decade, Samson’s recent schmuckery has gotten so insanely bad in leaving my first-ever negative review. Please get rid of this vile creature
