@barstoolsports @BarstoolBigCat @PardonMyTake @VivaLaStool @BarstoolNYC @PFTCommenter @hen_ease Should have asked him THE question everyone wants the answer to… why didn’t he play Malcolm Butler in the Super Bowl vs the Eagles?

Bill Belichick talking about why he resigned as Jets head coach a day after being elevated to the position:

@ShooterMcGavin If this is real, this might be THE best shot in the history of golf.

All-time recovery shot

Sporttrade announces it is shutting down by May 25 in NJ and June 25 everywhere else. Click here to read more.

I view this as good news. Very good news. To put it in sports terms. This is promotion, not relegation.

@kirstenagreen @fawzitani @Novig Curious what the “deposits” were…That’s a LOT of sales tax as every dollar put into the platform is a purchase of a sweepstakes coin and is subject to sales tax. Even more interesting is every gross dollar “redeemed” is taxable income to the user.

Novig crossed 4 billion in cumulative volume...only 20 months in. Just getting warmed up. Well done @fawzitani, who led the A for Forerunner, and all of team @Novig ⚡️

@dekker If he played for the Bucks, they would hang Jeremy Lin’s jersey from the rafters then I guess.

Not to argue over this, but CC did something that baseball fans have almost never seen. He was asking for the ball on two or three days rest, and SHOVING. He’d throw 8 innings a few times per week and then would hit a home run just for the fun of it. It was legitimately an unbelievable stretch of sporting greatness.

@TalkinBaseball_ @Brewers @CC_Sabathia This is a joke. Would be like the Yankees putting Raul Ibanez in Monument Park because he had a hot month that one September.

CC Sabathia was inducted into the Brewers Wall of Honor today (via @Brewers, @CC_Sabathia)

Name a Yank that never won a WS and don’t say Judge or Stanton or I’ll lose my shit. GO!

@davidhaaker1 @MickBransfield Why would it be illegal? State licensed sports books and DFS operators are legitimate businesses and have business risks. They are allowed to manage that risk via hedging. This is exactly what the CFTC markets were designed for.

@abusacca @MickBransfield 2 nd reason is probably illegal and they don't need to do it anyway

SIG's CFTC comment includes two actual examples of hedging on Kalshi sports contracts. Full letter below.

@WallStreetApes He said there’s never a team member on the line that’s going to say no to you. He don’t say it was free. It’s all part of the upsell strategy they are likely training them to do.

Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright says if you want more food in your bowl or burrito just ask, they’ll give you more for free Bookmark this to show chipotle employees next time you go “If you want more, you should ask for a little more. Promise you, there's never a team member on that line's gonna say no to you. We will continue to put heaping spoonfuls of food and bowls and burritos — want the consumer to tell you it's too big. We're about abundance. We're about value. Value equals benefit over a price.” This comes after a massive social media backlash for drastically decreasing portion sizes and increasing prices

The Arizona District Court's decision granting @CFTC /DOJ a preliminary injunction is a must read for those following PM litigation. The Court thoughtfully analyzed the key issues raised across these lawsuits and systematically decided them in favor of the fed govt (and PMs). Some notable takeaways: 1) Events = outcomes: "Events" and "occurrences" encompass contest outcomes. “The statutory definition of swap therefore reaches how an event unfolds, not just whether it happens.” 2) Congress chose a broad definition of financial consequences: "associated" requires only a connection (not direct causation), "potential" means not actual, and three disjunctive consequence categories (financial, commercial, economic) sweep widely. 3) The swap underlier need not be inherently financial: "Temperature and precipitation have no intrinsic financial value. Yet the CFTC and the Securities Exchange Commission have consistently treated weather derivatives as swaps….That is because weather events produce commercial consequences for a wide range of market participants.…Event contracts based on sports and election outcomes work the same way.” 4) Exclusive means exclusive: "​​The 'plain meaning' of Congress’s entrustment of 'exclusive' jurisdiction 'necessarily denies jurisdiction' to any entity besides the CFTC." 5) The Special Rule confirms the CFTC's jurisdiction: "By directing the CFTC to review event contracts and prohibit those contrary to the public interest, Congress placed event contracts under the CFTC’s exclusive authority.” 6) State enforcement frustrates Congress's goal of national markets: "The State’s enforcement of its gambling laws would also frustrate Congress’s objectives in creating a unified regulatory regime that oversees DCMs and ensuring that DCMs operate as national markets."

@CSP_Trading @fairplaygov No Vig is also not a real prediction market. They are a sweepstakes company.

Novig was the sole 'prediction market' to buck the Derby people and put up a market, however at approximately noon central time they caved, rolled back all the trades, and deleted the market. There is no no prediction market offering derby markets

@DanGrazianoESPN Started as a Jets pick. That poor kid is doomed.

Pick 182 has been traded SIX TIMES! It started out as a Jets pick. They traded it to Cleveland last summer for Jowon Briggs. The Browns traded it and Greg Newsome to the Jaguars last October for Tyson Campbell. The Jags sent it to the Raiders at the deadline in the Jakobi Meyers deal. The Raiders sent it to Buffalo last month for Taron Johnson. The Bills dealt it to the Broncos on Friday night to move back up into the second round to take Davison Igbinosun. And the Broncos sent it back to Cleveland earlier today in a fifth-round trade-up for Justin Joly.

@thats_bb_suzyn Jazz should not be allowed to challenge. It should be like basestealing. Manager should give specific guys the green light. Everyone else shouldn’t be allowed

Yankees booth destroys Jazz for this awful ABS challenge: Kay: “Right down the middle. And the crowd mocks him with boos.” Cone: “That’s the beauty of the challenge system, you get humbled. That’s right down the middle.” Kay: “Maybe he was hoping for a computer malfunction.”

@SteveRuddock They are both consumer travel but the vehicles are different. Just like OSBs and PMs are different vehicles.

@abusacca "Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?" - Ben Kenobi

How is this any different than a food truck saying “Local BOH rules about food temps and storage were obviously written for sit-down restaurants, you didn't contemplate a mobile restaurant. Our business model can’t afford that, so we should be regulated differently." Still an @a_kane47 fan though

Haha. Here’s a different attempt Steve. There can be different regulatory regimes for similar underlying things based on different models or modes. Let’s use transportation as an example. That’s the underlying activity getting from point A to point B. But depending on what model/mode of transportation, they have different regulators. States and even smaller municipalities regulate car travel (speed limits, vehicle inspections, etc). The Federal govt regulates air travel. Both are the same underlying activity but the form they take lead to diff regulators. Should states have owned air travel because car travel came first?

@SteveRuddock You started with the wacky food truck analogy thing. I was following your lead

@abusacca Just call it sports betting. We both know what it is.
