Did those sites really think they'd get away with the ridiculous media blitz they put on this year without repercussions? They basically put up big flashing neon signs that said "We are making boatloads of money without doing any lobbying whatsoever!!!" Yeah, the politicians weren't going to just let that slide.

I'm pretty sure they were going so hard this year knowing full well that it was their last shot at raking in tons of free money (which i'm sure they have).

Not a Cam fan, but the coolest thing about that when Cam chased the ball down, he unknowingly gave the ball to a kid whose Dad had just died.
When the ball was knocked from Cam Newton, 'God winked' on Colin Toler - Carolina Panthers Blog - ESPN
Julius Peppers. Hand of God.

So does JJ pick him back up because he knows the Cowboys support system is Randle's best hope of rehabilitation?I made this on request for elsewhere. Figured I'd toss it up here too.

How can you not be a Cam fan!? dude is just awesome to watch.
I had no idea these fantasy sites were tied to so many big companies. Fox, NBC, Time Warner, etc..

That was my impression as well. They saw the writing on the wall that they were going to get labeled as gambling and put out of business so they went all out to cash in on this football season and now they're going to get shut down and spend a few years sitting by a giant pool filled with money in Florida.

Here in the flat land state (Illinois), legislature has been going back and forth on whether it is a gambling ticket or a game of skill as the big two proclaim. In the mean time, the same legislature folks want the big two to be regulated with a bunch of odds and ends laws - people can not be hacked and have their banking accounts drained, people that have liens against them or owe child support could not participate, etc.
THE ONE thing they have riding for the liens etc is, you have to deposit -actual- money into an account. thus no loans etc - no money in account= no playing.
and yes jerry jones and kraft are only 2 of the nfl owners involved, there are more but they were one of the first to invest.
