Lobbyists must not be writing a big enough check to Phil Berger and his friends 

Amen, Berger is as crooked as scoliosis. Sometimes I think the GOP uses this state as a Guinea pig, ex HB2. Then other GOP states swoop in and get the businesses that leave, ex (Film Industry) thanks Georgia. Then all the people in this state look like dumbasses.

I'll play $20 in slots to kill time and feel underwhelmed but I understand the addiction signs. It's like alcohol and alcoholism, banning it doesn't work because it will still be around so might as well make it regulated and then spend the effort to help those thst can't help themselves...if they want it. Your friend had to get caught eventually or he kept it below noticeable in his finances.

He wasn't exactly the most honest guy.

Used to make frequent trips to strip clubs and claim it was because a friend of his really wanted to go.

Multiple reports have said this is something that David Tepper was counting on, so it's a bit of a defeat for him.

He wants in-person betting.  Sports book on the property.  

He isn't getting money from online betting unless he started his own online business, which there is already a ton of.  Of course they need to start somewhere and online was probably the first step.

Sounds like a fun relationship. To each their own.

Side note, we're you his 'friend' that he used? No judgment if you weren't the one lying.

On occasion 😆

One time, he got this stripper's phone number and asked me if I'd let her call me and then send him a text so his wife didn't see the incoming calls. Wasn't really sure how that was gonna help him, but I said "hell no" anyway.

Wow...Andy and Barney Fife say no betting in Carolina... I moved to Carolina 35 years ago and couldn't buy booze in my county... it will eventually happen...maybe in Siler City...

I moved to Pleasant Garden in 1992, just north of the Randolph County line and within ear-shot of Richard Petty's shop in Randleman. Randolph County was dry then, and Petty's wife was a county commish at the time.

Coming from Southern California, I was like, "WTF is a dry county? In the 20th century? Really?"

And what the hell else? There's a state lottery and privately owned sweepstakes parlors all over the place. But no sports betting? I mean, it's not for me, but who cares?

Had a married friend ask me to pick up his stripper girlfriend for him back in the day. It was fun until she tried to kick my girlfriend's ass.

Think you have gambling confused with lottery

You are right but it has been butchered so much over the years to try and up date the essay it came from because that kind of thinking got a lot of those people put to the guillotine or a constitution added to their monarchy.

      Greg Olsen weighs in on Dan and Dave's strategy to build the Panthers.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Jones was brought in to compete with AR but Steichen was allowed to be real and say AR isnt ready and may never be. It's not a bad thing to acknowledge the reality a lot of these high QB draft picks don't make it as NFL franchise QBs. It's not a knock on Bryce, Stroud or AR. It's just the NFL.  Ive been insistent we needed more than Dalton. Other than the Raiders game, he was horrible. Plummer. Why bother. It's like we put the minimal amount of effort to a position that's actually pretty damned significant. Hell, look at Nick Foles. Backup QB wins the damn SB. Also, how many times have we seen a backup come in and never relinquish the job. Brady was Bledsoe's backup, and an injury launched a career that led to 7 SB rings.  There were guys available that were better than Dalton. We could and should have done more for the betterment of the team. If we had brought in Howell instead of Dalton, and Bryce played like he has until now, then Howell went in and started lighting it up, we would be able to say with certainty that the problems are Bryce problems because this guy can do it but Bryce can't. Dalton has already shown us he's not really capable of a lot. Maybe he surprises us, but I don't have high hopes of HQ QB play.  I don't care who the QB is. Bryce, AR, Jameis, some off world clone of Cam we found in a time capsule next to JR'S pool. Just be real and honest in all QB evaluations and may the best QB win the job. Do what's best for the Panthers, not just any one player.

      Next week it’s “they’re playing the way they have to play on offense with Andy Dalton at QB”

      You need a good sense of humor to call that funny. But I was lamenting that the other day. We are winning some games with that approach. Took us two and a half years to get back to where we started from.
