Ahhh why not … this thread has atrophied into my personal canvass anyway.
The intersection of fail LA sports, crypto, bubbles. Crypto.com stadium. Enron & CMGI were already taken, I guess. This is a source of private amusement that is difficult to share with noobs.
But maybe others are amused now.. we have this:
FTX, Crypto.com and the ‘Stadium Curse’

I’ve been explaining to the crypto kids that the New Patriots Stadium was initially called CMGI Field. Blank stares. They don’t know the dot com story. MLNK is the new rebranded CMGI.
The best of times.
$700m for the naming rights & Matt Damon pump commercials. I’m the one who’s wrong. Ok.
I need to dive into whoever is behind Crypto.com. Precious
I'm going to jump back into NBA shortly. Just took some time to re-analyze after the beatdown in my first 15 picks.
Lions +3
Raiders/Cowboys U51.5
Parlay Cowboys/Bills
Ohio -6
ND -19
Dak U 37.5 longest comp
Also U64.5 in the Egg Bowl. I am 3-0 betting Ole Miss under this year, and none of them have been even close to not cashing. Hoping rain bogs down this game.
Fade the public parlay - Vegas +7.5 and under 51
Nevada is a shitty place to bet sports nowadays. Bet MGM and Ceaser’s carve Nevada out of their main apps to other states. Instead you get an app with shittier odds, function-ability, zero chance at promos and decreased betting options.
Florida is fascinating right now as the Seminole Hard Rock has just shut down their app after a federal Judge in DC made a ruling. The Seminole tribe has had the local politicians in their pockets a long ass time, but this fight over Sports betting is going to the Federal Courts. It’s not just the other gambling establishments in Florida anymore, it’s the big Dogs like Fanduel and Draft Kings who want in.
Will be something to see how this shakes out. The article talks about the Seminole “Quietly” going live with their app. They may regret just not keeping sports betting out of the State in the first place.

Very interesting situation down here at the moment.
First off - surprisingly they haven’t shut the app down yet and even though they haven’t opened them up they haven’t removed the craps and roulette wheels yet.
It seems the stance the state and Seminoles are going to take is that the ruling is unclear to them and they don’t understand what the ruling means how or it impacts them…… they are basically telling the federal judge fuck off, at least for the moment.
The big money from this is and always was the sports app statewide. They could have just accepted craps/roulette and on site sports betting and moved on. The 2.5B they promised the state over next 5 years was all related to state wide sports betting as a monopoly.
My guess is it all get shit down soon by a federal judge. Then Seminoles will appeal and lose. They know it’s a loser but will try and fight it and connect on a Hail Mary.
The medium to long term is going to be all the parties coming together (Seminole and DK/FD/Penn/Other) and getting this on the ballot in November of 22 where it will need a 60% pass rate which will be very difficult to get. With all these parties working together and the amount of $$ they will pump in to get it this has a shot.
Once it passes then the fun will start on who gets a license to operate. I’m sure Seminoles will get one of them.
Some stale O4.5 Mooney out there if you into chasing steam
This put a smile on my face. I’m not lyin’
Doing my first rib roast for thanksgiving. Old guy talk, I remember 87 cents a pound turkey and now I paid $160 for a rib eye bone in. I’m such a noob that I was fascinated how the butcher cut the bone off and reattached with string. Garlic, pepper, salt, rosemary rub.
Happy Thanksgiving
I’m shattered after NHL yesterday. I need a day off.
Panthers not winning in regulation … Flyers Martin Jones standing on his head …. turned a legendary day into just a good day.
You do get around JeffDime. Jersey, Vegas, Florida…. I’m fascinated.
Dallas Pollard over 45.5 yds
Dak under 265.5 yds
Some
Wide gaps on singleterry rushing. I’ve seen 21.5 and 30.5
So Raiders gameplan seems to be to just chuck it deep and hope for a catch or pass interference (more likely). And so far seems to be working. Through 1st Q Cowboys have 50 yards of penalties and Raiders scored 14.
Under DOA and Cowboys winning not looking super great either the way this game is being reffed.
