Today I'm the Zabcast, an atomic bomb is about to hit the sport of college basketball

with the pay-for-play scandal. If it does, what's the fallout and what emerges from the ashes?

Andy Poland joins me, we talk many things, including LeVar Ball and his plan to make the family

a package deal for the Lakers, whether they want it or not. If you've got 45

minutes to kill then buckle up and let's go.

Oh! Here we go. We go. Friday, February 16, 2018, on the verge of the All-Star Weekend in the NBA, in LA, and

of course the Daytona 500.

It's a nice weekend on the sports calendar. It is still the doldrums of February,

but I do enjoy this weekend. And I would otherwise enjoy watching both events on Sunday,

but as you probably know and if you don't you're

going to know right now I am going away for a week with my lovely wife and with

Ronnie Mervis of Mervis Diamond Importers in the Greater Washington, D.C. area.

He's the Diamond King of D.C. and he is leading a trip and excursion through our radio station and I am the tour leader to South Africa,

the Cape Town and into Kruger National Park Game Reserve and we're going to go on safari. It's going to be a hell of a trip. It's a junket. I'll admit that freely. It's another radio junket that I am knock on wood. Very blessed. Very thankful.

This is, these are the sweet fruits of an otherwise

messed up business being in sports radio,

but I'm glad to do it and very thankful to do it.

And I will miss everyone back here for a week if you have not caught up

on previous Abecasts well the next week will be a good week to do it because I will not

be producing new ones.

Well you could still if they got internet down there you could we don't care about quality.

I care about quality.
