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

I'm Dave Ziron.

We have a hell of a show for you this week.

First, we're going to speak to one of our great writers,

not just sports writers, but writers. SL Price, although here we do call SL Scott. Scott was

a senior writer at Sports Illustrated from 1994 to 2019, and he has written five books, including

most recently, one we are going to speak to him about today.

It's called The American Game, History and Hope, in the Country of Lacrosse.

And to do this interview justice, we will be joined by Edge of Sports Lacrosse correspondent and author of the brilliant book African Americans in the Bomb,

Vin Intandi.

Then we are going to have part two of our interview

about the book Rings of Descent.

Last week, it was with David Leonard, one of the editors.

This week, it is with the great Rudy Maudragon.

And you've got to hear what Rudy has to say about boxing.

And it's incredible political and symbolic history.

But first, let's go to Scott Price.

S.L. Price, thank you so much for joining us on the podcast. So great to be here.

Awesome. And Vin Intandi, Edge of Sports Lacrosse correspondent. Thank you for joining us as well.

Thanks so much, Dave. Glad to be here. So you could put that on your resume, Vin. Yes. So the book, as I mentioned, is titled

The American Game, History and Hope in the Country of La Crosse. I think SL, can I call you Scott for the

purposes of this? You must call me Scott. Yeah, you must call me Scott.
