But that was washed up Dan.

IIRC he was trying to rush back from some type of nerve injury, it was clearly affecting him, you could see it because it was like every other throw, some would be lasers like you're used to with Dan, and some would be lame ducks and there was no telling what you would get. Its sad because I think there was still potential to squeeze some good years out of him but him and Jimmy could never get on the same page, Jimmy wanted to force his running game but we had no good backs to carry (KAJ was meh), so we'd end up relying on Dan to bail us out.

The defense was good enough that if we actually had the running game, those teams could have made noise. One more good receiver (preferably a deep threat with OJ as the possession guy and Gadsden as more of a tight end), and an actually competent running back, and who knows. Instead Dan ends his career with two of the most embarrassing playoff losses ever, the Denver one was bad, the Jacksonville one was disgraceful.

What a series between the Blue Jays and Mariners. George Springer is insane! Such a clutch home run to save the Blue Jays season and send them to the World Series. And after he took a fastball off the kneecap that looked like it could of ended his season as well. Toronto came back from down 2-0 in the series, then down 3-2 in the series, and finally down 3-1 in the 7th inning of game 7 to win...crazy!

A blind man could see introducing sports betting to the league was a less than stellar idea.

Gambling is a societal problem. Legalizing it was always going to make the problem worse. But I don't think that's the issue because these guys (Rozier & Billups) stepped outside the law, which is why they are under arrest. They were going to do it even if the NBA barred them from gambling.

It really is.

I think ive posted here before, i used to gamble sports a lot.. and i profited from it.. i can watch a tennis match to this day and get a good idea how its going to go.

I didnt need to go to some therapy session to recognize the issue, and how it has basically taken over just regular conversation about sports.

I used to be able to gamble on my own and not have a single conversation about it to anyone. Now i cant watch on my own television a regular game, ufc fight, or tennis match without a family member or friends talking about the betting lines.

“Who should win here, do you think this fight will go the distance, do you think Raducanu can take Sabalenka to 3 sets, baseball, football.. “

A lot of it is degenerate betting, which is a great way to go bankrupt.

And they can all be fair questions to have normal conversation, but then they pop open their apps to place a bet.

Thats when i was like okay, im going to put this away, and ive told people around me that if youre going to talk betting, ill just get up and leave, they can do as they please, but dont involve me.

And im good with leaving that behind. I dont want my every thought to be about the sportsbook.
