I took off one star because that Coca kid is unbearable. Not only does he try to show up and undermine the host but he’s a poor public speaker. Takes a lot of words in a really long time to try to make his point (“okay…so like…let me get this straight…like…okay…) etc. and it still usually doesn’t come through clearly. He resents the host and he wants to nitpick him, but he doesn’t have the vocabulary or the social intelligence to do it in an entertaining way. It’s a little ugly. Samsons gold on the mic!

Nothing Personal is consistently the best pod that there is. Every day, every week and every month David Samson entertains, informs and uplifts. I never miss a show.

My go to sports show.

Not good

Time to watch Puss n Boots…

I rarely, if ever, leave a comment with my rating but for the love of all things holy, please keep Coca in the background. Didn’t know if it was him you were doing the show with or Ariel Helwani whining about the Expos for the 100th time. Besides that, love the show. Changed Rating 1: please. For the love of God. Send Coca back behind the scenes with no mic. He brings down the show with his asinine takes.

This show is interesting but icky. The phrase “it’s nothing personal, it’s just business” means you’ll sell your mom for a buck. No regard for ethics, morals, decency or anything good. It’s the way this society is going now. All about the mighty dollar.

Just finished listening to this morning’s podcast several hours after it was live, so I’m sure by now that any number of listeners have reminded you that Hank Aaron’s 715th home run was not hit on July 15th (7-15) as you stated. I remember watching it within a week of Opening Day (April 8th, 1974). That correction was “Not Personal”. I really enjoy listening to your perspective both on your podcast and whenever you join LeBatard’s show.

Mark as Played with David Sampson. I hate when an episode gets on the lebatard main feed. Get it out of my ears!!

Huge fan of the show. I understand that Coca has perspective but Samson needs to be the voice. It’s one thing to be constructive but another thing to be simply miserable

It’s so thick we’re talking like really thick, really long. So thick and long that you look at it and say, “I don’t think I can manage this; and then you do. One day at a time. @41:40 marker on June 24 episode

Speak Coca! I loved this episode. I’ve been a fan of Nothing Personal for two years. Samson you are even better now with a voice like Coca shared with the audience. Bring it 5 days a week please!

A man full of business knowledge and I learn something every time he’s on ! I didn’t like him at first, but I have come to respect and love this guy above all other Dan Le Batard Friends !

Very insightful show. Your experience gives us great perspective. Thank you David

Repetition, always the same takes on the same issues. Refuses to look at other perspectives. If AI was a podcast created by spoiled rich kids.

I love NPDS. I listen literally every day and it’s the most insightful sports business+insider podcast that I know of. I hope to hear him on Meadowlark long into the future ! It’s also fun when Dan comes on the show and balances out David’s strong assertions and I really enjoy The Sporting Class… TSC is by far the most fun and informative sports show, in my opinion! Cheers David and all

Best wishes to you 🧁

Smart and topical.

Super smart show that lifts up the curtain and gives you insight into how the behind the scenes decisions are made in baseball and beyond.

Really enjoy David’s takes and his …. 4-8-6-9. David’s takes and knowledge are really insightful and I enjoy listening to him. 1 star off for talking to “Coke-uh.” Give this person a voice if you’re going to talk to them otherwise it sounds like you’re talking to yourself.

David is a nepo baby, and ya know it!

Samson is a great talker who is a fraud fooling people because he can talk. His worldview is everything I hate and he is a soulless bag of bones. Nobody should listen to this podcast

Just tells it how it is and you got to like that

Loving your counter to Dan south beach sessions..your interviewing style is different but effective in getting out what we wanna hear 🙏🏼✌🏼

I’m new to NPDS but not David Samson so had some sort of idea going in what to expect. Have been blown away by the variety of topics and approach by Samson, definitely a good listen! Also- the sit downs with Lebatard folks have been great!

GREAT podcast and have been listening for quite some time! David is smart, honest and provocative.

Love Dave I only wish he had co host like Amin or Mike ryan ?

This guy stinks

for a guy who takes everything personally

More Dan and Dave or Dave and Dan!!

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

Give Me A Small Break if you're not listening daily.

Today’s show was informative and well done David!!!! Great breakdown of the debate!!

Love the show keep it up !

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.

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

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.

Great insight into baseball and sports business. Thoughtful, intelligent, and provocative with clarity.

I’m not seeing the show on my feed.

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

Samson is super smart with a wildly refreshing perspective and personality! Great podcast

No one actually listens to this. It just seems like people do because it gets auto-downloaded on LeBatard and Friends

Hello David You should try sons of anarchy you will not be disappointed

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 did this podcast change to explicit??

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.

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.

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.

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
