Just saw the news report about Trump and the un- invite to the Philadelphia Eagles.

For one thing, not Trump but the players who kneel are the ones with the big egos.

For another, of all sports (in the US) football is bet on the most. I smell a rat, this is an attempt to bolster interest in the NFL despite the cry baby millionaire players.

I've known plenty of people who can't watch a game they don't have money riding on.

Think about it.

I find it amusing that a former MLB manager is encouraging anyone, anywhere to set the standards for sports betting to preserve the integrity of the game . Reading between the lines, I can only speculate that Mr. Girardi has knowledge of players that have and continue to bet on baseball. The only reason Pete Rose was caught is that there was no internet in his time. I can assure you that the problem is more widespread now, especially with the marginal players that aren't sure how much time they... [ More ]

Delaware will have sports betting next week and New Jersey won't be far behind. By the end of the year there should be at least 10 states with sports betting.

Good for him leaving it to others who have more expertise in a field he knows little to nothing about---gambling.

Delaware is starting their own sports gambling next week; early bird catches the worm.

Todd, what about New Jersey...I would've thought they would have been first out of the starting gate

Joe chose he's words wisely..

On the issue of allowing sports gambling while protecting the integrity of the game, he said, That's for the legislators and the MLB and the casinos to work out. I wouldn't know where to begin.

....that's coming from someone with a degree in engineering.

If it doesn't get through the Legislature this time it will next round. New York can't have New Jersey have all the money to be made on this

Some people will bet on anything. Why not be there and make the profit from it?

Former Yankee calls for action before end of session

Joe Girardi wants New York's state legislators to take a swing at sports gambling.

The former New York Yankee player and manager came to the Capitol on behalf of Major League Baseball on Wednesday to advocate for a new state law regulating betting on sports. The door was opened to sports gambling in New York earlier this month when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal law that limited the states where it had been allowed.
