Can I Watch A Game Without All The Gaming Comments!?

It was endearing if you bet before the book avalanche hit. Wow, someone besides me knows the number.

Now with all these networks partnering with books it has really taken the fun, purity out of the game.

Not being hypocritical. I don't want to hear that the Braves catcher was +330 to hit the first homerun.
or Al Michaels telling me about the line movement during the week in Dallas/Minny game..

It's taken away the viewing pleasure, especially if you have the wrong side.

What kills me is the leagues' adamant opposition to the expansion of legalized betting before the PASPA decision and their total partnership/embrace with gaming companies afterwards.

Even sleezeball Adam Silver, who attempted to straddle the fence by supporting/calling for non-existent, imaginary "federal regulation", is in bed with gaming companies not to mention the Chinese Communists.

I do play some DK and FD, the commercials were just overbearing.

Seems like every pregame, postgame and halftime show is sponsored by FanDuel or DraftKings, no matter the sport.

And the worst betting advice is usually offered by former great players featured on these shows.

So good at what they did on the field, yet so clueless at making predictions and assessing odds.

The leagues had to figure out how to enrich themselves with sports betting sponsorship/ownership before they endorsed legalization.

About five years ago, I remember reading about Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban investing in various sports betting ventures.

MNF is now showing you the skill position players in on drives, naturally for fantasy league interest.

I got a killer stream setup but....... I can't catch a UniBron game not in Chinese (I can in other places). The Commies are coming, the Commies are coming!

I think all the gambling talk is great despite how square it may be. It gives you a decent perspective on what the avg Joe is thinking and it supports the industry as a whole which I think is a good thing.

I haven't heard it but it would be pretty cool and educational. I pray younger generations are still watching games and hearing this stuff so they can learn how to think about shit.
