We are about to break the surly ponds of gravity and punch the face of God.

Left Jab Productions present Edge of Sports Radio, where sports and politics collage.

And now your host, Dave Zaire.

The Schmada Kid.

Boom!

Edge of Sports Radio, where sports and politics collide.

I'm Dave Ziron.

Joined, as always, by a producer who greeted me today by saying, isn't Doug Gottlieb an idiot?

And that's why I love him so.

Dan Baker, D.B.

Thank you for having the idiot detection advice working at all times.

Doug Gottlieb certainly does qualify.

Learn from the best, Dave.

Thank you, thank you.

My favorite Doug Gottlieb's story is that he is a man who does not think college athletes should be paid,

yet he was kicked out of one of his schools for stealing.

What a hypocrite

so happy to be joined in the show this week by someone who's been a guest on the show

before she is in studio all the way from Canada made the trip just to be here for

this hour that's actually not factually true Shereen Ahmed Shereen thank you so much so much for joining us. Hi, Dave. Thanks for having me. Are you kidding me on this week of all weeks where sports and politics didn't only collide but exploded? I am so thrilled to have you here to talk some of this stuff through. It's awesome. I can't wait to not be polite and reserved. Oh, you shall be neither polite nor reserved. And speaking of neither polite nor reserve, me, Mark, Barry. How you doing, me, Mark? I like that introduction. I'll take that every time. Every time. Every time. We got a hell of a show this week. The coach is running late, but he will be here. But we will be joined by Howard Bryant, who is a senior writer for ESPN, The Magazine.

He has been writing about these athletes in acts of protest all month, and he, I mean, he's

just, he's been on it.
