Welcome to the Edge of Sports Podcast, brought to you by the Nation magazine.

I'm Dave Ziron.

We have a very, very serious and very important show for you today.

Later in the broadcast, we're going to be talking to Dan Tricoli, who is a teacher at Justice

Page Middle School in Minneapolis.

And he's going to tell us on the ground what is happening there in the wake of the ice

murder of Renee Good.

Now, if you're asking yourself, what does that have to do with sports?

I'll just say this.

He teaches at Justice Page Middle School.

That's as in Alan Page, who was a judge after being a Hall of Fame football player

for the Vikings.

I know that's a very thin thread, but I don't really care.

I want to talk to him.

But my lead guest here today is the author

of a very important new book. It's called Everybody Loses the Tumultuous Rise of American Sports

Gambling. And his name is Danny Fund. And if you follow this show, if you follow my work, you

know what I think is sports gambling, and you know that I think

it's actually been a fetter on developments in sports that were happening that are actually

very important.

So it's much bigger than just gambling.

It's much bigger than just the abs.
