All of the major pro sports and player’s unions sent a letter to gambling regulators throughout the country today to criticize their inability to regulate player safety concerning angry gamblers. It was a laughably tone-deaf response from an industry that has accepted an insane amount of money to plaster gambling lines and advertisements literally everywhere you consume sports. How is gambling any different than drinking or smoking? Why are we cautioned to not do any of these activities in excess but they can advertise it without any type of moderation? That letter is hypocritical bullshit.

I get mad about the lack of reporting around the Eagles too because I was on a roll.

Flyers

  • Camp starts this week and the season starts soon

Sixers

  • Kawhi and the Clippers are finalized
  • Expansion is coming to Seattle and Las Vegas…eventually

Phillies

  • 12 games to go against Washington, New York, Milwaukee, and Tampa…yikes!
  • Brandon Marsh…double yikes

Eagles

  • Landon Dickerson fallout
  • Cooper DeJean is pulling a 2009 Cole Hamels
  • Offense looked good
  • Jalen Hurts looked great
