Marlins make historic hire; NFL’s new diversity hiring rule

Today’s word of the day is ‘glass ceiling’ as in breaking the glass ceiling as in raising up the ranks as in the Miami Marlins made a big time hire on Friday by hiring Kim Ng. She becomes the first female GM in the four major US sports. Let’s take a look at why Derek Jeter made this hire and what it means for the future (0:06). The NFL diversity rule is an interesting one. Teams will now get draft picks if a minority coach or GM is hired AWAY from their team. That’s right. Teams can get up to three 3rd round compensatory draft picks if they lose a coach or GM. Will this rule help (14:53)? Review - The Swing of Things (26:00). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about tanking. They wanted to know if as president, and there was a can’t-miss prospect, how would I discuss this with our team (30:15). The NFL is cracking down even more on teams that violate COVID-19 protocols. The Las Vegas Raiders lost a draft pick over this! Did the New Orleans Saints learn from this? Nope. They violated these same protocols and the NFL is pissed (39:10). #waittosee -------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.   Follow David on Twitter: @DavidPSamson  To watch David on CBS Sports HQ visit https://www.cbssports.com/live/ To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/nothingpersonalwithdavidsamson Learn more about your ad choices.
