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 Shmada Kid.

Boom!

Edge of Sports Radio, where sports and politics collide.

I'm Dave Ziron.

Joint as always by a man who would have failed out of the University of North Carolina,

even if he was an athlete.

Dan Baker, D.B.

A man who would fail out of school, even amidst academic fraud. How do you do it? He's got nothing, ladies and judges. All right. Join by the coach coming out. How are you doing, coach? Clearly you must be talking from experience, huh? Oh, are you kidding me? The school I went to, man, everybody was taking easy classes. That's the craziest thing about this. They're like, look at the fraud. Athletes were steered to easy classes. Man, we all tried to take easy classes. All of us. Back up. Who said you were an athlete, which you weren't? I said we all of us, not just athletes. All of us. All of us. Find me a school that has requirements

And you can end, you know what? The question is, can you pick outside the chalk and look credible? Right now, I don't in the NFL, but we'll see if I can in the National Basketball Association because that's our show today. We are going to be talking NBA. This is our NBA preview show, everything NBA,

backwards, forwards, from the sides. And we're going to be talking to Ben Shapiro about the World

Series. And if there's time, I also want to talk about this UNC stuff, because this is the place

where sports and politics collide. And nothing exposes the rot of for-profit amateurism, quite like this UNC

story and the mass academic fraud that has been taking place there. Nothing. But what I hope is that
