Lots of speculation out there that the legalization of sports gambling will raise the value of sports franchises in general, perhaps significantly.

That could be great news for David Tepper, but Erik Spanberg pointed out that it's not such good news for Jerry Richardson. Yes, the value of the team is set to go up...after he sells it.

Basically, Richardson is selling the team on the very day it became more valuable. And I might add, to the lowest bidder.

Congratulations, Jerry.

Are we that concerned about the well-being of a guy about to pull down $2 billion to go away after outrageous sexual misconduct in the workplace?

The guy is in his 80's, in failing health, hates his one surviving son, has an equally geriatric wife and it turns out all of his 'work girlfriends' didn't actually like him in that way. What a waste of 2.2 billion dollars.

Why did the NFL and all major sports side with maintaining the status quo? 

"All four major U.S. professional sports leagues, the NCAA and the federal government had urged the court to uphold the federal law. In court, the NBA, NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball had argued that New Jersey's gambling expansion would hurt the integrity of their games."

"per Rapoport, but the NFL is unlikely to rush toward the biggest pot of dollars. It's much more likely the league will think about how this will play out over the next 10 or 20 years, rather than immediate."

His family owns what 48% (I think I read) and will pay the 15% capital gains tax and another 10% or so to NC & Medicare? So, he'll walk away with somewhere close to $800 million. I think he can probably stretch that over the years he has left. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple large donations from him to try a little damage control to his legacy.

because people will go to great lengths to manipulate the outcome if games in order to make money.

refs, coaches, players....think about how one call or play can change the outcome of a game.

now think about somone paying for that outcome to actually happen.

But for once it seems they sided against their wallet even if it was in vain.

If they don't plan to be involved their value won't be as directly affected.

      I agree but he honestly has gotten better about this. Used to be he’d do it like 4-5 times a game, now it’s like 2-3. Overall I’m incredibly happy with his game, his D has been solid and when he is playing his role he’s a solid scorer and one of the few guys who can consistently finish at the rim and provide that threat. Plus he’s electric and LaMelo loves him. Going into the season I was sure he would just be a stop gap here but now I’m reconsidering and could see him continue to be a “core” piece here. Obviously not on the level of the other starters but he is an important cog for this team. We felt his missed presence during his and Moose’s suspensions.

      Philly will be a bigger challenge than the Knicks were IMO. George and Embiid are back, not sure about Maxey but Embiid alone is a nightmare matchup for us and Moose. We’ve never really done well against him. Celtics added Tatum but honestly not sure they’re all that much better with him right now than they were when we whooped them a few weeks ago. We should be able to at the very least split these 2, hopefully take both.
