there are no msu fans here anymore. and sparty just isnt competitive.

this team has fallen apart and were not even 10 games into the season.

not that we have to compare us to the rest of the world, but they've been having legalized gambling on sports for years. not every country is full of moalistic protestant scolds like america.

or they could do nothing and let folks enjoy themselves, even though some people will abuse the activity in a way that harms themselves and occasionally others. like we do with so many things.

need 4th quarter cade.

griffins start the season 5-0. both cossa and postava with great save % and gaa.

note to cade, make the open 3.

do you think sports teams should ban alcohol sales and forbid players from drinking? alcohol is addictive too. should they ban facebook and tik tok and other social media sites from advertising, that is said to be addictive too. much of the things we like to do in life have externalities. your tolerance for those externalities is a matter of personal choice. same with the existence of gambling and "gambling addiction." i dont find it bothersome that some people gamble too much. nor do i find it worrisome that leagues want to make money off it, or that its legalized (other than those annoying kevin hart commercials). some people can handle it, and some people cant. i just dont find the argument persuasive that the presence of legal gambling is suddenly infecting the purity of our sporting events with the scourge of greed and gambling. its always existed. games have always been fixed. people have always looked to make money with insider information. same with stock markets. ymmv. and thats ok too.

this is the correct card. again, asp and edvinsson - just like buffalo - were the worst players on the ice.

i'm not upset at them giving asp the chance, but i'm not blind either. he's just not ready and he's bringing edvinsson down with him. at some point you have to recognize he cant play on the second pair yet. im more perturbed that wallinder isnt ready. he needs to sink or swim. asp is still a baby, wallinder needs a shot or just cut him loose. and even more perturbed that buium got injured just when he started to look playable. lastly, can we get mazur on this team and get rid of rasmussen?

kasper really feeling that sophomore slump. that's worrisome. now would be an ideal time for steve to use some leverage to re-sign edvinsson to a lower value contract. he's been crap for the last week. in fairness, he's been saddled with carrying asp around, but he has been really bad in all respects, not just having to cover for asp's mistakes.

this flatters them. again, asp and edvinsson were the worst players on the ice. cant blame this one on hamonic. how much longer are they willing to roll with asp on the second pair? until buium gets healthy? is wallinder really that useless that he cant make the third pair on this team? heck, gustafsson would be an upgrade....ON DEFENSE...right now. let the kid learn in the ahl. he's not ready.

this stuff went on for years before gambling was legalized in america. it goes on all over the world all the time. and has forever. every once in a while you get players who make it obvious or someone gets caught and snitches. but this has little to do with fanduel.

berggren with the useless garbage time goal.

what the actual ****? edvinsson looks like ****. kasper looks like ****. asp looks like ****. is mbn actually on the team? we all know rasmussen is worthless. when is your strategy to just throw the puck to no one in the middle of the ice? no one is back checking. no one is clearing the front of the net. what an embarassment.

stupid and greedy.

i get some of those, but others were just rozier missing shots.

nobody is panicking. but if were looking for lane hutson or quin hughes, he's not that. but its still early and he's not getting sheltered minutes like those two did.

the weird thing is that they said pros were falling for it. you would figure a professional poker player could sniff something like that out pretty quickly.

the guy who benefits the most from this is steve ballmer. everyone will forget about his little dailliance with circumventing the salary cap...

players have been gambling long before it was legalized. and theyve been throwing games since....forever.

cant be any worse than levert.

it is funny how drose gets raked over the coals for getting accused of rape, denying it, and then going to trial and getting acquitted while chauncey pays off his accuser and no one ever brings it up.

i hope for chauncey's sake he was working FOR the mob when he was rigging these poker games and not ripping them off... otoh, i wonder if he was in debt to them in some way? maybe from gambling on basketball games? hmmm....

keep it in the political forum, domer. 🙂
