Darko State News talks about his big scoop on the latest Sherrone Moore scandal before Shawn Windsor steals the show by zooming in to tell fart stories!

STRAIGHT DOPE
You may know him from X as Darko State News, the Spartan fan and hardcore news man, but to the rest of us he's just Justin Spiro. Justin/Darko State News zooms in to discuss the Coach LaTroy Lewis scandal that even the national media jumped on -- citing his work -- and how it turned into another facet of the Sherrone Moore debacle.

Darko discusses how he gets his scoops -- and says he was the first to report on Moore's problems back in October 2024.

Marc asks Darko if he has an edge over the competition in the mainstream media because he's his own boss and can publish as soon as HE is ready. 

Darko acknowledges that he has a competitive advantage, but still feels there are a lot of cover-up artists in the media. He names names. 

Marc asks Darko why Lewis' accuser didn't go to the police sooner.

ML asks Darko why Lewis' accuser is speaking out now.

Darko teases a new U-M scoop -- and discusses how the scandals surrounding Wolverine football reflect on Jim Harbaugh's legacy.

Turns out NO ONE likes Warde Manuel. The question is: When will he get the ax?

To the surprise and delight of all, Shawn zooms in to discuss his dance with death -- and the road to recovery.

Shawn apologizes to the CVS worker who took a blast from his bag during a recent visit. And that's not the only tale he has to tell about his intestinal farti-itude.

Our new bonus episode is here -- and it's free for Soulmates! Detroit Red Wing legend Darren McCarty talks about his favorite coaches -- and bags on one of the best coaches he had, who is also one of the worst.
