Sunday 6 am EDT with Jody Mac (ESPN New York Live Streaming Here) - 20 minutes with New Jersey State Senate Raymond Lesniak discussing the legalization of sports betting in the Garden State and the recent lawsuit filed on behalf of the major sports leagues to try and prevent this from happening. 

*Note that the program itself runs from 6 am EDT to 9 am EDT so the segment could air at any point between this three hour time frame.  Please retweet this link ---> http://espn.go.com/espnradio/newyork/play

Much of the segment is expected to focus on the prospects of sports betting in the state of New Jersey and plans to counter a suit filed by the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA to try and prevent such activity. 

Lesniak doesn’t want just sports betting legalized in New Jersey.  He wants it all, including online poker rooms to be based out of Atlantic City and available to all NJ residents and quite possibly beyond the Garden State’s borders via compacts. 

Be sure to catch Lesniak live Sunday morning between 6 am and 9 am EDT.
