February 9, 200620 yr Why are we so harsh on people gambling on events like the super bowl and march madness?
February 9, 200620 yr I didnt really think that something that involved everyone around him wouldnt have his fingerprints on it somewhere. The Great one is now The Great bet.
February 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) Why are we so harsh on people gambling on events like the super bowl and march madness? LOL, because the government doesnt like when people are making tons of money and they arent getting a cut.
February 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 09:41 AM) Why are we so harsh on people gambling on events like the super bowl and march madness? An illegal gambling ring with mob ties is just a bit different than a night of fun at the sports book in Vegas.

February 9, 200620 yr Gretzky's assistant and his wife supposedly ran a gambling ring. Gretzky has said he knows nothing about it. He sounds like Sammy Sosa and Raffy Palmiero to me.

February 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:25 AM) Or Rich Daley That's probably even a better comparison.

February 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(mreye @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:37 AM) Bingo. This is gonna be huge, people. You watch, I'll bet they were gambling on hockey too. Riight. They said it was a half dozen players betting, and they are investigating possible ties to a couple of alleged mobsters in Philly.
February 9, 200620 yr Anybody think it's kinda sad that it takes something like this to get hockey in the news?

LOL, I know he has a ton of loot so a few missing bucks here or there would go unnoticed, but my guess is his wife wasn't betting $20.00 in Super Bowl squares.
February 9, 200620 yr I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but I know Roenick has severe gambling issues. I think his family wanted him to go through detox or whatever for it.
February 9, 200620 yr Seems kinda hypocritical to get all up their asses one week after probably the biggest gambling day of the year. Last week, gambling = OK, look at the cute office pools and point spreads. This week, gambling = MAFIA, ILLEGAL, DEATH TO ALL WHO GAMBLE..... I find it odd.

February 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) Supposedly he did spend time in 2 different centers in AZ last year. Well, there ya go. I won't even pretend to know anything about the NHL and its personnel. Would JR be involved in this?

February 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) What, the strike didn't get your attention? Not at all. I didn't know it ended until about a month after the fact. lol. Hockey is a joke. Sorry NHL fans.
February 9, 200620 yr I love hockey; my honeymoon revolved around the Carolina Hurricanes. I really hate seeing this because regardless of how deep this goes and what they are betting on, because the media is running this full tilt, that's what people will be talking about instead of hockey being back and better than ever. I am still going to go home, flip on Center Ice and watch the Canes take on the 'Ing in Tampa. It will be a VERY tough game as the 'Ing have the Canes' number (saw one of the losses but at that time the captain and a couple other players were on IR) - GO CANES!!
February 9, 200620 yr this has to be the worst year in Gretzkys life. He has had some other issues this year about his coaching and didnt he leave the team for a short period of time? i havent seen many good things about Gretzky on ESPN this year, I know that.

His mom was sick and then died shortly after his return. I think there was another death in his family as well, but I could be wrong about that.
