As the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers battle for the World Series title, Major League Baseball stands on the edge of some very necessary changes in order to thrive well into the 21st Century. In this edition of “The Fastest Show in Sports”, Ed Berliner is joined by former agent and “Smartest Man in the Room” Joe Casale for a few deep takes others would miss. No, the game is not in monetary trouble, but fans aren’t showing up like they used to, and the reasons are more intricate than just creating a new smartphone app.

In parts of Southeast Asia, it is still legal to torture and butcher innocent dogs. Killed in the most heinous manner, they are then sold to slaughterhouses, where these emotional animals are forced to endure pain the likes of which even humans would have a difficult time comprehending. This is the story of one man, Michael Chour, and his small band of volunteers. With their effort, “The Sound of Animals”, they are trying to save as many dogs as they can, and in the process, change a way of life that no longer has a reason to exist. A story that has touched Ed Berliner’s soul, and will do the same for you.

It takes a rare sense of timing and control to be a still photographer in a sports such as boxing, where split second moments between victory and defeat become iconic images of an individual seeking to best another and themselves at the same time. Emily Harney is one of the best boxing photographers in the Northeast, and soon she will put her camera down and climb into the ring, another warrior in the battle against cancer. Join Ed Berliner for this special edition of “The Man in the Arena” as he talks boxing and her shot in the squared circle to raise money for charity. A truly inspiring story.

Veteran NFL analyst Russell Baxter joins Ed Berliner for this NFL version of “The Fastest Show in Sports” featuring even more reasons why the NE Patriots still run the AFC, why the bluster about problems in Green Bay is mostly meaningless, questions if Jon Gruden is already a bust in Oakland, and why it’s also much ado about nothing in Seattle.

The weekly troll around college football with veteran analyst John Fricke from 92.9 “The Game” in Atlanta features plenty of questions still surrounding Alabama, Ohio State and the so-called “playoff locks”, Penn State HC James Franklin needing to go for decaf, the unmitigated disaster Bobby Petrino has wrought at Louisville, and why should anyone be shocked at another “death penalty” hearing for a mess such as Baylor? Ed Berliner welcomes John and the global listeners to another edition of “The Fastest Show in Sports”.

Earl Thomas of the Seattle Seahawks may have exited the playing field with the middle finger heard round the football world, with fellow players all in a huff spouting half-truths about management and ownership, but in the end it will all make ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE when it comes to contracts and how the game is played off the field. That’s because the players themselves have neither the leadership nor the desire to stage a real fight against the NFL. Ed Berliner is joined by former agent and attorney Joe Casale for a revealing episode of “The Fastest Show in Sports” that could serve as a lesson to whining players, but likely will mean nothing to those who refuse to take a hard stand.

Another rousing college football episode with veteran analyst John Fricke from 92.9 “The Game” in Atlanta that will start plenty of arguments. John says there are ONLY 18 teams left that have ANY chance of winning a National Title, the current playoff system has NO room for any fun and needs to include more teams, ESPN’s “The Eliminator” series is a joke, what has become of his beloved Nebraska program, WHY the western teams have zero shot at a title, and HOW Notre Dame fits in to the playoff picture. A rollicking time will be had by all.

Legal analyst and “The Smartest Man in the Room” Joe Casale joins Ed Berliner for this edition of “The Man in the Arena”, focusing on the legal ramifications of Donald Trump’s release of documents, the reality of those who claim “obstruction of justice”, the epic disaster surrounding SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh that Mitch McConnell wants to avoid, and how knee jerkers made a joke about Texas BBQ work against Republican Ted Cruz. No favor. No partisanship. This is inside the lines regarding the legal side of each case, and mandatory listening for Americans of every political stripe.

Join Ed Berliner for another edition of “The Fastest Show in Sports” as he welcomes “Yahoo Sports” columnist and analyst Jay Busbee for a few hard takes on the NFL. One game into the 2018 season and we’re already seeing a shift in the contrived “anthem protest”, learning how NOT to take the Donald Trump bait, how the League got boxed in by gambling and technology, and the truth about those who cry ratings are down and the NFL is tanking.

Join award winning sportscaster Ed Berliner and veteran NFL analyst Larry Weisman for a tour around the NFL 2018 Week 1 featuring Matt Patricia forgetting everything he ever knew about football, the NY Jets may actually have a real live QB for the future, the continues messes for both Raiders and Cowboys, and why people who live there spell the State name as “Flori-duh”. A good time will be had by all.
