...boring. Give me hockey any day. Damn Oilers took out my Kings....AGAIN!

But speaking of gambling on games, sad to say its fairly normalized now. Banks would not loan to casino's for a time given the "reputation" it had. So the union loans came in. Money is money. Now you have the Raiders, Golden Knights and soon the A's in Las Vegas. Gambling on sports is now a big business and not some shady spot off the Las Vegas strip anymore.

Hell, there was even betting odds on the Pope. We may not like it as it cheapens the game, but at this point, we are coming to a "Running Man" type of situation.
