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.

      I respect his enthusiasm. Time will tell if it's warrented.

      Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Gm3 8pm

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Oh I went off and fully entertained my wife last night as my emails go to her phone as well because of my health. So she got the whole conversation as it happened.    Like I went to games in Detroit for the cup finals, I've been to games in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Chicago as well. My mom and her nurse friend double dated one of the players from when the team was in Greensboro. "He's still with the team in some compacity as well." I know people who work for the team at the arena as well. How the hell would I not be considered a fan. Only reason I haven't gone to a game since 2022 is because of my health and money situation. Last game I went to was at United Center in Chicago and me and my wife spent around 1k for glass seats and some food at the arena and we were next to the penalty box. The pictures of the hurricane players I took are lost because my phone crapped out a few weeks later.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
