What a great article. Crazy how fast gambling grew and the lack of guardrails built in.
There will be a reckoning.
Credit to Jontay for being so open. His story and the rise of sports betting intertwine perfectly in this article.
The N.B.A. player Jontay Porter got deep into FanDuel, and in debt to the wrong people. The only way out, it seemed, was to gamble on himself. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

I don't expect Poch to stick around for the cycle.
But why would you want to manage Man U right now 😂😂
I guess the money and big club. Doesn't look bad if it goes downhill.
But wait for a better opportunity.
It would be hilarious if he left mid international window tho.
Pochettino's USMNT release clause is understood to be approaching $10m.💵

Kalani is always incredibly generous in his post match.
I am proud of that even when its hard to agree with some things.
Most coaches can't feel they are doing the job right with that mentality and humble approach.

Horrible use of 54 seconds.
Lets hope Bear comes back with a vengeance next year.
Cougs started out so bad. Rough way to go down. Didn't feel outmatched at all. But thats the game.
Oh is this rush the field worthy?
Lets hope for a rematch.

I wouldn't ever call Holy Wars pretty but this was chaotic.
Defense showed up late, came and went.
Could've had more points 5 ways.
My drafts are a nice venting session.
Love Bear. He has to be better with the ball.
Pray for a spot in the Big12 Championship now.

Terrible PI call on BYU. But the Cougs look bad. No other way to put it.
I think they will pull this out, but something has gotta shift dramatically to win next week.

The 'pardon' in US Traitors is a terrible game idea. Too random to be that powerful.
The citizens edition has been good. Slightly less over the top but the producers are too involved wanting drama like the reality star version.
Go all gamers or pure normies or real celebs.

This game will be at 5 pm for me. I am shook. Its going to feel like a real cfb Saturday.
I hate it for the actual players tho.
WHOA! A 10am MT (Noon ET) kickoff for @BYUfootball at Utah?!
ESPN had the TV option... and wanted the rivalry to kickoff a LOADED day of college football on November 7th.
Breakfast... then Cougars vs. Utes... sponsored by Monster Energy. 😂

Defense gave up huge plays in big moments.
Carved up and a step slow/ an arm tackle short time and time again.
Terrible play calls at the end of the game. Lucky to get to OT.
Did the refs make a couple terrible mistakes? Probably. But thats not why we lost.

This was the moment they lost it. Could've won 10 ways. Could've lost 15. Got out played.
All time bad loss. Going east. Trap game. Every omen is there and it all came out ugly.
Have to win out and win the Big12 to in the playoff now.
CFP will not respect this team.
UCF converts on a third-and-17 with a 56-yard run (Hornes busted two tackles) and eventually takes a 24-21 lead with a 1-yard QB sneak TD. UCF up 24-21 with 3:06 remaining 3Q.

For many students and kids in Provo today will be the best day of their lives.
From Gameday to the W. This is how a team claims your heart. How a family becomes die hards.
I have deep fomo for my friends at LaVell's house tonight.
