Before we get started, I know last week we celebrated Leo’s Birthday… THIS WEEK… We get to celebrate Papa Cassa Birthday! Happiest of Birthdays good sir!

Now, Lets jump into it!


MLB -

Once again this week we mourn the death of another amazing individual. “Terrific” Tom Seaver passed away a few days ago. My dad… one of our most valued listeners woke my up today to remind me to talk about Tom and his amazing records and why he is in the Hall of Fame. Seaver was selected as an All Star in each of his first 7 seasons and 10 of his first 11 for a total of 12 All Star appearances in his 20 seasons. He won 311 games over his big league career. He struck out 3,640 batters to put him 6th all time. In 1970, during a 19 strike out game, he struck out a record 10 consecutive batters. He is one of baseball’s strikeout kings. ONLY 3 players have ever had a higher voting percentage than him when he was inducted. He appeared on 98.8% of the voting that year. The 3 players who had a higher percentage were Mariano Rivera(100%), Derek Jeter(99.7) and Ken Griffey Jr. (99.3). His career 2.86 ERA is one of the tops in all of baseball.

From one HOF Pitcher to the next… Dodger great Clayton Kershaw just threw his 2,500 strike-out. Another notch in the excellent resume of the future hall of famer. Only 3 other pitchers have reached the milestone in fewer games. Max Scherzer, Nolan Ryan, and Randy Johnson.

Bernardo Flores from Baldwin Park HS made his major league debut
Connection to SEAVER … Bernardo is the FIRST USC Trojan to pitch for the Chicago White Sox ,,, Prior to the game Bernardo actually gave him a shout out on twitter and thanked him for having an influence from a far.



Trade market … That was a wild one for the Padres who were buyers and shocked the world with all their moves. I liked most of them. 333

Angels had a fire sell, Dodgers even made a low key move.

Theory? Angels tanking and going for the No. 1 pick?

CONTENDER AND PRETENDERS segment? Who do you think with only a few weeks left in the season … will?


NBA -

The Brooklyn Nets have named HOF Steve Nash as the 23rd Head Coach in the franchise's NBA history.
NBA Playoffs -

Final 8 have advanced -
West -
Lakers - Rockets - Rockets win tonight up 1-0
Clippers - Nuggets - Clippers have a 1-0 lead

East -
Bucks - Heat - Miami has taken a 2-0 lead … They are on fire winning 7 straight playoff games.
Giannis the MVP? Maybe but he is playing like a sidekick not a superstar.

Raptors - Boston - Boston 2-1 lead
Futbol -
Brazillian “great” Neymar has tested positive for Covid 19 following a holiday to Ibiza. When will these “high profile” athletes realize that just because you have money, doesn't mean you are immune to a global pandemic? Covid sees no color, race, creed, or tax bracket for that matter. Everyone please stay safe so that you can keep your loved ones safe.

Contract dispute between Messi and Barcelona? Player opt out clause is the big issue, now says he is staying? Former teammate Sauarez is now joining his rival Ronaldo with Juventud?


NFL -
Kirk Cousins posted to his social media accounts that he is taking a “survival of the fittest” personal approach to the coronavirus… even if it kills him. He added, “if i die, i die and I kind of have peace about that.”

Adrian Peterson Cut by Washington - in a shocking move the washington football team released the future HoF Running back. Peterson released a statement, “It caught me by surprise. I was having a strong camp. It was showing up on film, taking #1 reps all week long, and was notified by the RB Coach that they wanted to give the young guys some reps, but there was no indication that Coach Rivera and the team were going to let me go.”
Where do you think he will end up? Would he be a viable RB to take during Fantasy Football Drafts?

Earl Thomas Saga? He posted a tweet asking for privacy but Mark Ingran called him out? Saying a gun was involved with his wife caught him and his brother hooking up with the same girl?

Leonard Fournette gets cut ends up with the Bucs, honestly thought he might go the patriots.
But was interesting to hear that they shopped him around and couldn’t even get a 5th or 6th round pick in a trade for him. Something is happening that we don’t know about.
He’s the no. 2 RB with Bucs saying … is still our guy, how fast does that change?
