Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony Clark

The most powerful man in baseball who doesn't wear a uniform. On this episode of The Three Inning Fan Show, I sit down with super agent Scott Boras for a candid conversation about the business of the game — from record-setting contracts to the future of the sport. We discuss:- A historic offseason for Boras Corp - The rise of opt-outs and whether they're replacing long-term deals - What it's like to negotiate a deal with Scott Boras - The 2026 expiration of the CBA and the risk of missed games in 2027- Revenue sharing, competitive balance tax, and whether the system truly promotes winning - Why Boras believes MLB's media rights are undervalued - The state of the Players' Union with Tony Clark's departure- How he embraces being baseball's most polarizing figureIt's a show that just might change your opinion.*Music by Podington Bear

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) are back for a catch-up week packed with stories spanning baseball, college football, the NBA, UFC, and the Olympics.The episode opens with the bombshell resignation of Tony Clark as executive director of the MLBPA following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a family member he hired at the union. Dan and Mike break down why the personal scandal may only be the tip of the iceberg, drawing parallels to the NFLPA's Lloyd Howell situation and raising questions about self-dealing, misuse of union funds, and what Bruce Meyer's interim appointment means heading into a critical CBA negotiation year.From there, the duo covers the quiet settlement of the Jaden Rashada NIL lawsuit — one of the most closely watched cases in college sports law — and what the undisclosed resolution tells us about leverage, discovery, and the war of attrition in NIL litigation. They then pivot to the University of Cincinnati's lawsuit against transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby over a $1 million buyout clause, and what it signals for the future of revenue-sharing contracts and the transfer portal.Dan and Mike also tackle the NBA's escalating tanking crisis, including Adam Silver's record fines, the crisis summit with all 30 GMs, and what a potential draft overhaul could look like. The conversation then shifts to the UFC, Dana White's First Amendment stance, Sean Strickland's mic cut at the post-fight presser, and the tension brewing between the UFC's culture and its new Paramount partnership.The episode closes with Dan's passionate recommendation of the Jim Thorpe documentary Lit by Lightning — which he calls the greatest sports documentary he's ever seen — plus a shoutout to the Steph Curry film The Goat, and a listener challenge: first 10 people to watch either and send proof win a Conduct Detrimental shirt.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.   They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a player with legs like a centaur, a knuckleballer’s sore subject, Arte Moreno’s thoughts on whether winning matters to fans, a response from the barback who gave free drinks to a fellow listener, and a new perspective on Tony Clark’s reportedly inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. Then (45:17) they talk to Maxfield Lane and Owen Riley of Oyster Analytics about the challenge system’s tactical considerations and when it does and doesn’t make sense to second-guess the ump (and also, some slightly scary mascots).

This week felt like someone spun the sports-news Wheel of Chaos and just let it ride.We start with Michael Jordan and his NASCAR squad winning the Daytona 500—which should have been the headline. Instead, it came after public drama with NASCAR, a lawsuit, a settlement… and then a victory lap. Oh—and the internet doing what the internet does over an awkward clip that had everyone asking, “What exactly am I watching?” It was a weird, weird weekend. Lawsuits, trophies, confusion. Just another casual few days in MJ's orbit.Then we circle back to the Tony Clark situation. Last week we mentioned his sudden exit as Executive Director of the MLB Players Association. Now we've got the details: an internal investigation found he was in an improper relationship with his sister-in-law—who had been hired by the MLBPA in 2023. Add in a federal investigation tied to the MLBPA's youth baseball company, Players Way, and suddenly labor peace in 2027 doesn't feel so guaranteed. Let's just say… this was not the kind of clubhouse leadership MLB was hoping for.We've also got body cam footage from the Marshon Lattimore traffic stop. When asked if there were any guns in the car: “No.” When police opened the glove box before towing it for expired plates: loaded handgun. Not exactly the transparency drill you practice.Quick Hits:We are officially on Jaromír Jágr retirement watch after 38 professional seasons. He's finally talking about it. I'm not ready.Former coach Benjamin Shroats, who worked with U.S. gold medalist Amber Glenn, has been arrested in Texas on serious charges involving alleged inappropriate relationships with athletes. He's currently held on bond as the investigation continues.Jaylen Brown is considering legal action against the City of Beverly Hills after police shut down his private, invitation-only Oakley brand event during All-Star Weekend—despite what he says was no permit requirement. Financial damage, reputational harm, and due process concerns? This one might not be over.The tragic passing of Rondale Moore at 25 remains under investigation. Early reports suggest a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound, but officials have not formally announced a cause. A heartbreaking situation with far too many questions.And then… The Biggest Pickle.This week's honor goes to Kash Patel—or maybe USA Hockey. Or maybe both.By the end of this episode, we may not solve anything—but we will absolutely ask the loud questions.Buckle up. It's chaos season.#MichaelJordan #Daytona500 #NASCAR #TonyClark #MLBPA #MarshonLattimore #JaromirJagr #JaylenBrown #RondaleMoore #USA​Hockey #KashPatel #SportsPodcast #BiggestPickle #SportsDrama #AllStarWeekend #USA

That's right, spring training games have started and we're getting alerts about players we don't know. First though, we've got a legit scandal crossed with police blotter and wrapped in labor. Pottymouth is already a man down with her ARI boyfriend heading over to B'more. New boyfriends this week are from SEA and LAD. For the Mariners, Pottymouth picks the army brat who is always prepared, and Patti goes for the Cleveland kid with a shared love of Kenny Lofton. We dug deep for Dodgers, with Pottymouth selecting sexy defense with uncanny timing, and Patti picking the oldest of three brothers from the city of brotherly love. We're keeping an eye on the barnstorming rumors for the WPBL. We'd like MLB to consider some equity measures in their umpire promotion system, please. Teams are warming up for the WBC as long as they can jump through the travel hoops. And we wrap up with some giveaway swag you might want to get in line for. Finally, your hosts make good on donations to counter the bad behavior of players on teams that matter to us.  Pottymouth donated to Sojourner House and Rosie's Place for Aroldis Chapman Red Sox saves, and Patti donated to Baltimore Safe Haven in order to root for a US Gold Medal Women's Hockey team with Britta Curl-Salemme on the roster. You are welcome to join us in these donations if you are so moved.We say, “Forget Disneyworld, Drag Brunch is the happiest place on earth,” “It's just too close to a severed finger,” and “C'mon, his name is Mayo, why is there not a condiment shirt?” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.   GUESTS   Dave Grosby | Seattle sports radio personality Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Prediction Show Kickoff — Hockey Gold, Mariners Optimism, and a Cole Young Attitude Adjustment 22:22 | 2026 Prediction Show: Seahawks Repeat Forecasts, Roster Calls, and League-Wide Bold Picks 49:57 | 2026 Prediction Show: College Football and Mariners 2026 Predictions – Playoff Calls, Coaching Hot Seats, and a World Series Push 59:47 | 2026 Prediction Show: Mariners Prospect Timelines, World Cup Takes, NBA Futures, and Sonics Expansion Speculation 1:14:14 | 2026 Prediction Show: March Madness Picks, NFL Draft Forecasts, Golf Majors, Kraken Playoff Hopes, and Wild Card Bombshells 1:21:30 | Other Stuff Segment: USA wins men's and women's Olympic hockey gold, JSN comments on becoming highest-paid WR and looming Seahawks extensions, Zach Charbonnet ACL surgery delay raises questions, Stephen A.

This week on the pod, we had a critical audio error and it doesn't exactly sound it's best. But, we power through and talk about how our Cincinnati Reds FINALLY played baseball in 2026. We cover the boys who hurled on Saturday and who might have gotten a leg up on that fifth spot in the rotation, Chase Burns or Rhett Lowder. We also talk about the Hunter Greene “subtweet” interview. We have the introduction of ABS and how it could possibly help Elly De La Cruz. We also talk about the Tony Clark resignation, why it happened and what it means for the future of the CBA. Lastly, we cover the “war chest” and how the owners truly don't care about the fans or the players. The show is always brought to you by Cincy Light, the flavor of Cincinnati.

On this week's episode, we begin by paying tribute to Baseball Hall of Famer and Pirates legend Bill Mazeroski, who passed away at age 87. From there, we discuss Tony Clark's resignation under scandal as Executive Director of the MLBPA, and Bruce Meyer's interim elevation. We then discuss Pat Murphy and AJ Preller's extensions, and minor league deals signed since the start of Spring Training. To wrap up, we go through each season since 2000, and debate what was the best MLB game played each season.

The Major League Baseball Players Association had a major shakeup this week after union head Tony Clark resigned from his position following an investigation into an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. This shocking news has caused a ripple effect with collective bargaining agreement discussions set to begin next offseason. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss why this controversy is such a big deal as the players' union looks for strong leadership ahead of upcoming negotiations. They then dive into the newly elected leader, Bruce Meyer, and why he is an interesting choice to lead the players at a crucial moment as the league prepares for 2027 and beyond. Later, Jake and Jordan are joined by Yahoo Fantasy analyst Scott Pianowski, who gives his expert opinion on whether Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani or Bobby Witt Jr. should be the number one overall pick in your draft — and which sleepers you should have your eye on. Then, the guys discuss the Milwaukee Brewers giving Pat Murphy an extension and why Tony Vitello felt the need to clarify his move to the majors. To close the show, Jake and Jordan make their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 2:02 – The Opener: MLBPA drama 13:33 – Who is Bruce Meyer? 29:03 – Fantasy baseball advice 49:26 – Around the League: Murphy extension 52:35 – Tony Vitello clears things up 58:02 – The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

It starts with a deep dive into baseball's labor storm, but this segment goes everywhere. The Athletic's Evan Drellich joins to unpack the fallout from Tony Clark's exit, Bruce Meyer taking charge, looming CBA negotiations, salary cap battles, revenue sharing fights, deferred contracts, and whether missing games or even replacement players could become reality. From there, the conversation turns into a full-blown fan perspective on money in sports, why nobody trusts ownership finances, whether teams like the Dodgers are actually doing anything wrong by spending, and how big-market clubs, small-market teams, and franchise values all collide behind the scenes. And because no show stays serious for long, the hour also veers into classic midday chaos: debates about who really makes money in baseball, YES Network rabbit holes, Cinco-style rankings of the WORST months of the year (sparked by a brutal winter), callers chiming in with hot takes, Olympic vs. WBC fandom arguments, Tom Brady hypotheticals, food polls, and pure radio nonsense. Smart analysis, fan frustration, unexpected comedy, and total lack of control, all in one segment.

Everything you need to understand about baseball's looming labor war, all in one conversation. The Athletic's Evan Drellich joins to break down the stunning fallout from Tony Clark's exit, the federal investigation cloud hanging over the union, and why installing Bruce Meyer just months before bargaining begins is far from ideal. We dig into the biggest question facing the sport: is a salary cap showdown inevitable? Hear why owners are expected to push hard for one, why players have fought it for decades, and how internal ownership politics could decide everything before negotiations with players even begin. The discussion also explores franchise values, skyrocketing player salaries, shrinking local TV money, and why even big-market teams might secretly benefit from a cap. Plus: could games actually be lost, or will too much money on the line force a deal? Would replacement players ever be considered in today's union landscape? How deferred mega-contracts like the Dodgers' are fueling owner vs. owner tension. And why revenue sharing, not a cap, might be the real battleground. Finally, the hosts react to Chris Bassett's comments on parity, debate whether MLB's system already produces competitive balance, and land on the fan's biggest frustration: without financial transparency from ownership, how can anyone trust the argument for a salary cap at all? A comprehensive, no-nonsense breakdown of the power struggle that could reshape baseball's future.

C-Lo is in for Jerry and started with the sounds of Olympic hockey with Kenny Albert on the call. Plus, Chris Russo responded to the news of Tony Clark and was unimpressed.
