Sport Man Toe Shane Ryan/Spike Friedman

Is Kevin Durant boring, or just weird? What's so darn inspirational about Roger Goodell? Is Zack Greinke a dick? Why is Raul Mondesi going to jail for eight years? Is Barkley our greatest prophet of anti-millennialism? All these questions are ASKED and ANSWERED on this week's SportManToe. Enjoy!

Spike and Shane are back after three years, and by using an elaborate communication system involving our parents, we have managed to record a podcast. We're talking the NEW spygate, an NFL preview, Durham USTA tennis, and the U.S. Open. Watch us find our feet, like young fawns prancing through the first for the first time. With intro song and performance by Spike Friedman.

Folks, it is SportManToe time. This 16-minute track is less of an official episode than a test to see whether I, Shane, am capable of setting a track to private and letting only the appropriate listeners hear the good stuff. There's a lot of rambling, and some really terrific stories about Spike's uncle, Tom Friedman. Yes, that Tom Friedman. Hopefully this works. The "real" episode will come out later this week.
