Yep, pretty much what everyone in town suspects to happen.

I'd actually love to see that swapped. Keep Nate in assistant for consistency and let Splitter get the HC job, but I don't expect that to happen.

Duster, I would like to see the swap as well, give it to Splitter.

Lookie there

Today has been a tornado of news after some impressive basketball last night. Lots of drama, but the Blazers made the right decison. New ownership has done good so far.

National Betting Association

These two need to be banned from the league. Crazy, there's probably more out there

Gambling addiction is real. Just ask Michael Jordan. The thrill of it is a dopamine kick, especially when it's high stakes and involves corruption like this. And famous/wealthy people often need something like this to pump their adrenaline cause they already have everything that money can buy.

All the new Blazer fans in China watching for Yang are getting an interesting lesson in US federal law enforcement.

Billups was involved in FULLY RIGGED poker games - rigged decks, setups to straight up cheat players out of money.

Matt Berkey (poker pro) was talking about it a few years ago on his podcast (27:15 mark): https://www.youtube.com/live/G-TKR5ca5jI?feature=share&t=1635

Wow, initially I thought all of this was BS because who cares about playing a poker game, I do it all the time but damn if what this guy is saying is true, this is definitely racketeering and I have to say Billups should be punished for it.

Where is Lebron's name in all this?

Absolutely insane, I barely have words

ALSO I know for a fact Rozier was in my Fanduel Lineup when he left the game after 9 minutes. If I go back and prove it, can I get my money back...?

He is literally the biggest POS of the story in my book because he is actively trying to ensnare new players into the scheme and ruin players lives by getting them to join rigged games they can't win.

At any rate, **** all these guys.

I wouldn’t trust this justice department. It’s filled with incompetent nimcompoops. I want to see the actual charging documents and evidence before I make any judgments.

Well, the indictments are online. They seem very detailed about the rigged poker games.

Anyone who says you can’t trust the justice department now apparently doesn’t realize how corrupt the justice department has been for decades, going back longer than most of us have been alive.

At least give me competent professionals to be corrupt and being shady. I can't stand having my intelligence being insulted by these absolute idiots hand writing "evidence" on items on crime scenes.

Maybe he can get a job at FanDuel or Draftkings with that resume.

Gotta admit, “release the Billups files” was not on my 2025 bingo card.

Anyone who has money knows this to be true.

Just watch.

Free Billups

lol that is a leap to hate a man you already seem to hate.

Or, maybe just maybe, when FBI is doing a thousands upon thousands of man hours of undercover surveillance people also doing other illegal activity get caught in the net. Billups wasn’t the target he was caught in the net.

To me that is MORE credibility. If FBI saw/heard illegal activity by Billups in their net and didn’t arrest him - that would lessen FBI credibility. He just happens to be semi-famous and happens to be from Portland.

But you do you to keep consuming hate and spreading it to fit your (false) narrative. Seems to be working for you.

I don’t hate Trump at all I also know how to put dots together. I get your maga flag is flying but I should still be allowed to entertain alternative conversations here, especially when I have a very possible point.

Why so much hate in your life? You Hate maga so much running around branding folks you don’t even know - branding folks maga is your form of hate. When I said nothing about maga or Trump. And why? Because I don’t live in your echo chamber so you default to hate. “If not with me - against me.”

You need to break out of your hate filled echo chamber. Try something different.
