Kobe Bryant Memorial - Line between honor and exploitation (2/24) - a podcast by CBS Sports, Baseball, MLB

Today's word of the day is 'F.Y.M.' as in F*** You Money as in Mark Cuban unleashed a flurry of tweets about NBA officials and he'll pay it (0:06). Kobe and Gianna Bryant's memorial was held at Staples Center today. Beyonce sang, Vanessa Bryant spoke, there were celebrities and fans in every seat... there's a fine line between honor and exploitation with some fans falling on the wrong side (3:40). The Houston Astros started Spring Training games and fans were not happy. Sings were stripped and people were mad (13:05). Astros owner Jim Crane sent a letter to season-ticket holders and it was hilarious. I need to decode this for you and tell you why each line was written the way it was (18:50). Review - Virgin River (25:45). Madison Bumgarner should have his contract voided!!! Yes, I said what I said (28:59). Astros pitcher Zack Greinke doesn't like Spring Training so he showed up on the last possible day allowed, ha, what a great teammate (33:12). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me why MLB teams are okay with just being average... let's chat about this (39:22). Dustin Pedroia is back on the DL, do I think he'll ever play in MLB again? #waittosee
