They literally did talk about Powerball today.

I listened to 5 minutes yesterday and it was tournament spreads talk.

Mac was able to keep it to a minimum on MJH with Harry who also gambled a lot.

They just spent a segment discussing Cubs and Sox bets for the upcoming season. Looks like it's not just a product of The Tournament.

I think that after the tournament and the baseball prop bets that it's probably -120 that the gambling talk will decrease a little bit, but +270 that it'll become minimal.

This show has become what everyone said it wasn't destined to be: A program where most sporting topics are discussed through the prism of wagering on game outcomes, and the VSiN updates are just going to exacerbate it.

Cubs seasonal outlook is discussed in terms of moneyline performance, same for the strength of the St. Louis Cardinals (I heard both of these things today). No, the Cardinals don't pose a problem for the Cubs because of overperformance in certain categories of the game of baseball, but because the Cardinals have been performing well against favorites.

Sports betting cannot dominate the content of this show as much as it is and retain me as a listener.

Maybe you'll like the next show!

Yup.

I like it, so there. It's a show that has two things: sports and plenty of ancillary fuckery, in no prescribed ratio from day to day ... which is what B&B used to be.
