Ed Berliner’s ”The Fastest Show in Sports”

There's nothing more important for any head coach in any sport than to have the confidence and trust of those they coach, the players in the locker room. Mike McDaniel burst onto the scene called something of a "wunderkind" by some, but the luster has faded. It's obvious he no longer commands the locker room, players don't respect him, and he's one slip away from the unemployment line.

On the cusp of another NFL season, hope springs eternal across America...save for two cities and their fan bases that likely would rather fast forward already to 2026. Then again, hating these teams is a national passion in so many places.

We have crossed the rubicon when it comes to the intersection of sports and gambling. Now that it's mostly legal, sports will never be able to exist without wagering. Gamblers would do just fine even having to bet illegally, but the games and leagues are so deep in bed, never the marriage will end.

Almost every major sport has been hit with gambling scandals, and the number will only rise with the inclusion of legalized betting. When looking at ALL sports, including college, which sport is the easiest to manipulate by one person working alone? And how do professional gamblers approach the possibility of a fix?

As MLB and the Cleveland Guardians deal with the fallout from the latest sports betting scandal, one thing is clear. The people who run the legalized gambling portals and casino sports books are tough to fool, and they were right there to catch this one as it happened.

It might be just a blip, but there's real concern in MLB about the two pitchers that have been nicked for possible gambling violations. This is what happens when you get in bed with legalized gambling, and the future would seem to indicate we haven't heard the last of cheating and fans questioning the integrity of the games.

Legalized gambling is now the norm in almost every major sport, and there's no issue with those who do it legally. An issue bubbling under the surface, however, is the growing number of underage gamblers placing illegal bets or having someone else do it for them. The gambling industry doesn't seem to be concerned about the new generation of potential addicts they're creating.

Now that most sports leagues are in bed with legalized gambling, there will never be a time when sports won't feature gambling in order to win and keep fans. Sports cannot exist and be as profitable without wagering, and that means plenty of trouble on the horizon for more fixed games and more questions about the line blurred between the two.

Major League Baseball has a major gambling scandal brewing that could leave the game examining much more than just one team. Two players on the Cleveland Guardians are sidelined, professional gamblers are watching, and there's concern about what baseball and other sports are really doing to keep their games from being tainted.

As Donald Trump pushes dozens of distractions every day to keep the attention of those with a lower IQ from what he's really doing to America, he has once gain latched onto the old dodge about sports team nicknames for the Washington NFL team and the Cleveland MLB team. It's a stupid argument to resurrect as it's already been solved, but those who agree with Trump in bringing back the Redskins and Indians reveal much about themselv...

ESPN sports host Pat McAfee went on his talk show and spread a salacious and completely fake rumor about a college co-ed whom he and others stated may have had sex with her boyfriends father. It cost her everything, including her safety as she was the victim of death threats. Neither McAfee nor ESPN issued an apology until FIVE MONTHS LATER. He hung her and her family out to dry. For this, and his standard of shoveling complete rum...

Time and time again, Hulk Hogan tried to explain away his racist comments and past. Time and time again, he was unsuccessful, as the words spoke for themselves. It was just one dark part of his legacy that needs to be remembered in his passing.

Ed Berliner and Mike Wise leave nothing on the table in this segment from "The Fastest Show in Sports". This is just a preview of the entire episode, which can be watched on our YouTube c...

When Hulk Hogan died, there were plenty of memorials about his impact on the world of wrestling, pop culture and sports in general. Can't take any of that away from him. However, there was a much darker side to Terry Bollea when the cameras weren't on him. One cannot remember Hogan without recalling his blatant racism, the way he covered-up drug use in wrestling at the expense of others, and his late in life political stance that w...

For decades, the boys at "South Park" have been dishing out what can only be termed the finest in First Amendment media satire, and their recent shot at Donald Trump again makes the point. But there's something else even deeper here, and that's another example of how butt-hurt people can be when the joke is on them, and how intolerant we've become a masterful comedy and satire.

While it's never proper to wish ill on those who have passed, it is also very proper t bring up the facts about someone and stop romanticizing about their life. Such is the case with Hulk Hogan, who no doubt changed the sports world and helped people make millions from a fake sport, but who also had more than a few dark sides to his character. If you're going to talk about his wrestling, then also be prepared to wrestle with who he...

Hulk Hogan was not the warm, wonderful guy many people portray him to. Sure, he changed the sports world & wrestling in particular, but the darker side will always haunt him. And it should. ESPN gets zero grades for allowing the entitled money maker Pat McAfee to ruin a young womans life and then let her stew for a few months. Their potential deal with the NFL means there's no reason to ever trust the validity of an NFL story o...
