New Jersey's handle is off the charts. Much higher than anybody ever expected.
There are NYS residents that drive into NJ or NYC residents that take a train to Secaucus or Hoboken so they can place their bets. NYS is losing out on a ton of revenue

Supposedly it's on the state legislature's docket but we'll see if the pockets of the senate leader and Gov. Benito get properly lined.

I knew this was coming. Hope u made money on it. Can I subscribe to your newsletter?

i find it funny that you mock me when it was you who couldn't see that the line was reasonable.
here are some other lines everyone was claiming were wrong.

those people who set the lines know a hell lot more about it than you or I

NYS definitely dropped the ball there but I would expect mobile betting to be legalized next year

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Hill was undefeated as a starter.

such a long an illustrious starting career he has had. with wins over powerhouses Atlanta and a Denver team that didn't have a quarterback. He is terrible

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Too lazy to lookup the historical data but I think in the Brees era you made a mint blindly betting against the Saints in all outdoor games.

their record straight up, let alone against the spread, can't be that great in december outdoor games during the brees era

How did I mock you?
Btw the line went from 6.5 to 8 crossing through seven so I was far from the only one who thought the line was off.

No kidding they know more than you and me. I never said otherwise.

Yeah I just didn't get the comment about how he played with a lead. The guy is a change of pace QB that played a handful of plays at QB prior to Brees' injury. He barely played enough to evaluate him one way or the other as a QB. I would point out that he has completed 72% of his passes in those four starts.

Good for Tirico sneaking into Al’s chair.

Yeah I would too. But NJ has had it for a couple years now. Seems like it's taking NYS an unusually long time to get it passed.

Agree. I like Mike more than Al, especially tonight with the Bills. Although most of our fan base threw a ridiculous fit and turned on him after the Notre Dame game.

Totally agree with your second sentence. I think Mike is excellent, just think AM is the best in the biz. jmo

I like Al so it’s win win for me.

Now if they could ditch Collinsworth it would be the top crew.

They'll get it passed now simply cause of the Budget deficit

They are restricting as much travel as they can for Al Michaels.
Al may not do the Cle-NYG game if NBC keeps his travel down.

Collinsworth is a paid spokesman for 345 Park Ave and the shield.

He used to be really good but he has sold out.
I don’t criticize people who sell out when their jobs aren’t necessary.
Collinsworth is annoying now.

Agree. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Al also. But the tie goes to the SU alum

Isn’t Al NYC based? Pretty sure that game next week is in Jersey.

Al lives in Brentwood, CA.

Al lives in Brentwood, CA.

Gotcha. Assumed he was East coast based.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Love the atmosphere/football weather there, this is where I miss having the crowd.

Bills/Steelers in December would be a great yearly matchup

Don't u remember Al during the OJ chase 25 years ago? He was on the broadcast explaining Al Cowling's travel route back to OJ's house since Al lived in Brentwood as well.

(In poor taste but I couldn’t resist.)

He's been annoying from jump. He just has corny takes and tries too hard.

I miss Mike on MNF but give Mike Tirico credit he left ESPN for a raise before they started firing a lot of their staff.
His agent is a SU alum I have had a drink with in Charlotte his name is Sandy Montag.
He was a cool guy who was humble.

Montag and Boeheim are really tight I found out that night.
He got Tirico the contract from NBC and Tirico is the successor to Al when he gives it up.
