Sabres fire Botterill, MLB is a Mess, Sosa & McGwire Doc, and NFL deals with COVID

Sabres fire Botterill, MLB is a Mess, Sosa & McGwire Doc, and NFL deals with COVID

Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl talks about the breaking news from Buffalo, as the Pegulas fire Jason Botterill (00:46 - 07:20) a mere 3 weeks after Kim Pegula said his job was safe...

Carl talks the mess that is Major League Baseball (07:21 - 18:32) - in a time when baseball is needed more than ever, greed and arrogance has led us to a MLB-MLBPA standoff - and the only losers are going to be the fans

Carl looks at the ESPN 30-for-30 "Long Gone Summer" (18:33 - 31:53) on the summer of 1998 and the HR Chase that captured America... with Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire on the path to 61 HR's and beyond - and what happened afterward - and how little respect is shown to the great career of Sosa.

Plus, Carl's thoughts on Sammy Sosa's appearance (31:54 - 32:55), not that Carl is a fashionista or anything...

Talking NFL (32:56 - 37:28) - a league now dealing with COVID19 as players on the Cowboys and Texans test positive - plus players getting injured in non-football situations...

The 49er's sign Shanahan to an extension - what does this mean for the Bills (37:29 - 41:38) and the contracts of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane... the Bills have to sign them, right?  Someone will if they don't...  meanwhile, during a time of great civil unrest, Jerry Jones is awfully silent (41:39 - 43:37)

And a final thought on the NBA season, and the recent comments by Kyrie Irving (43:38 - 48:10) - should the league be concerned with playing during a time of protests?  Or can the game help bridge the divide, and unite us?

Listen in, and join the conversation - leave a comment or question, and make sure to subscibe to 'Falkin' Around'!
