We had a near-perfect national regulatory system for sportsbooks. Then Chris Christie asked SCOTUS to blow it up for his casino buddies in 2018. Now we have this.

While Little League International continues to monitor the complexity and ever-evolving world of sports betting, we feel strongly that there is no place for betting on Little League games or on any youth sports competition. Little League is a trusted place where children are learning the fundamentals of the game and all the important life lessons that come with having fun, celebrating teamwork, and playing with integrity, and no one should be exploiting the success and failures of children playing the game they love for their own personal gain.

I didn’t have an inappropriate relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and I knew nothing of his crimes. It’s all right here in this redacted transcript of an interview my lawyer conducted with an alleged perjurer right before she was moved to a nicer prison.

At the risk of overreacting I think Haynes King might be the greatest QB to ever play the game

My then-girlfriend/now-wife made me go to car dealerships with her when we dating so they’d stop being rude and trying to aggressively rip her off. It worked without me having to say or do anything.

I might buy a ticket to One Night Only just to see if they answer the first two questions at all.
