The Big Ten is asking the NCAA to consider developing an NFL-like injury reporting system to protect the integrity of college football as legalized sports gambling expands.

Maybe it's why I'm a litigator in my real life, but I guess I'm competitive enough that I don't need a wager to decide which team I want to win in a given contest, or to make that contest interesting to me. One of the reasons I've largely detached from sports media (outside of actually watching games) is because it is so thoroughly dominated by information intended for gambling/gamblers. I was naive enough for a long time not to see it, but now that I do, I find it extremely distasteful. And it is such a huge part of the money in sports--and with the new gambling law fixing to get a lot bigger--that it has far too much potential to wreck the product on the field.

So GET OFF MY LAWN!!! Or something.

I don't need, and it's never done much for me, but it never bothers me either.

Like you, I laugh at how long it took me (I think it was probably until people started complaining about the Patriots gaming it) to realize the NFL injury report was for gamblers, and not just people like me who simply wanted to know.

Those injury reports are key for fantasy football as well...

Which isn't "gambling" in the traditional sense.

That's gambling, too. A different version, but gambling nonetheless.

Well,
gambling = more money/attention
fantasy = more money/attention

The combination of the two, just deemed legal anywhere, is just more money on top of more money.  If I had dollars to invest in something, it's only a matter of time before there's sports betting kiosks or something in every shopping mall.  Yes, I'm aware everything is going/already digital and an app on a phone, but the biggest gamblers are the poor, and they lag behind when it comes to expensive tech stuff.  The people who still go to malls would be spending money at a convenient, physical place to gamble freely.

Had a nice ride up to Milwaukee yesterday. Gonna hit Summerfest today and probably return to Kenosha tomorrow.

The Lake is flat all week, and has also provided a lot of relief from recent heat wave days. Light easterly breezes will do that (on this side anyway).

Fireworks night in Milwaukee is July 3rd.  Should be good night for it from the boat Badge

Pretty decent music lineup today/tonight at Summerfest, though I wouldn't know a thing about the acts at the Marcus Ampitheater (J Cole and Trippie Redd).   Good alt rock options on a few of the stages,  Steven Tyler solo?,  Trace Adkins.

I played my 18 holes late yesterday.  It was sure steamy.   It was nice to not play a scramble, and play my own ball.

Not the sports I'd like to see, but an interesting read nonetheless...

Still something to be happy about with your school... Especially since Maryland is not exactly at the top of the B1G as far as number of varsity sports they sponsor... That suggests that you produce some pretty solid draft talent in the sports you do participate in.

According to Sporting News, FOX and BTN are making a push for Finebaum when his contract expires.  I don't really understand that marriage.

Great night it was. MKE does a really nice job with the fireworks.
