Hey everyone, I need yinz guys to give me a few opinions. I really mean honest opinions, not some jibber-jabber that you may have heard some knucklehead spit forth on your favorite sports talk radio show or blog after a wild night of drinking and gorging himself or herself full of potent TBC-laced marijuana pastries. It seems as if many of those specialty pastry chefs have one helluva fanbase themselves, doesn’t it?
Remember the days when one of the major functions of the FBI, CIA, ATF, Boy Scouts of America, the deacon board of the local church or any other organization that had grown weary of nefarious activities actually did something about things? Gambling and “reefers,” as the old folks called marijuana back in the day, were perceived to be the biggest threats to our “wholesome” all-American society.
There was a “false outrage” when the uncovering of illegal lottery number operations and reefer houses were exposed. The discovery of these incorrigible and often so-called “life-ending” vices were being maintained under misinformed noses. These ticket-selling companies were merely disguised purveyors of immorality, with complimentary tickets to hell, waiting for all of us at will call.
For example, Draftkings, FanDuel, MGM, all seem to have some sort of macabre and dastardly plan to invade the pocketbooks of the common man, while simultaneously posting a disclaimer at the very end of their informercials saying; “If you have a gambling problem, call (555) 666-6666.” Why doesn’t anyone ever answer the phone when someone calls or why does the line remain busy?
Recently, Brigid Kennedy posted an article on www.si.com; “Steelers Insider Says Russell Wilson Prefers One Team in Free Agency.” An excerpt from the article says: “It’s Monday, March 17, and the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback sweepstakes are still ongoing. As fans of the black and gold wait to hear from veteran QB Aaron Rodgers—currently deciding between the Steelers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings or retirement—free agent Russell Wilson must also stand idly by. The 36-year-old QB is linked to Pittsburgh, New York, and the Cleveland Browns (albeit loosely) right now, but no offers have yet been extended as two of those teams are also in the mix with Rodgers.”
Why is free agent Russell Wilson forced to stand by idly just to take the leftovers that Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want? Rodgers has not thrown or completed one pass for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It should be Aaron Rodgers that should be left in the breadline waiting for Wilson to throw Rodgers a few crumbs. Am I wrong or right? Pittsburgh allowed former QB Justin Fields to slip away and proceeded to re-sign their former journeyman and below-average QB Mason Rudolph for more than they possibly paid for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields combined in 2024. Don’t worry, I purposely steered away from my betting and gambling “introduction to corruption” on purpose because of the betting on fantasy teams, mock drafts, mock free agent signings and the rest of any other premises based on the word “mock,” including “mock” journalists and reporters.
This schizophrenic and bipolar reporting should be barred from ever being licensed and protected under the umbrella of the “first amendment” and should rightfully be re-defined and re-categorized as the “blood thirsty amendment.” These vampires have no fear of being exposed to or harmed by being exposed to sunlight because their one and only mission is to mislead and misinform a willingly naïve and gullible public. Many of the betting pools and many sports journalists are creating and maintaining polluted and biased odds as to what team Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers will sign with, and which player will receive the better contract. Ninety-five percent of the time, writers whose demographics represent around 30 percent of the NFL players on the field are enabled to create and sustain unprovoked negative images of the 70 percent of players on the field that happen to be players of color, primarily to increase the value of White players. During the current era of “Rumpelstiltskin” politics, we must remain docile and asleep because when we are awakened and are defined as “woke,” the powers-that-be become exposed and threatened.
The word mock itself is defined by Thesaurus as: “fake, artificial, imitation and bogus.” However, the dollars that these legitimate betting parlors perpetually collect from the betting public are real money, no “mock dollars” here. Gamblers cannot pay for their gambling addiction with counterfeit money, can they? So why should “mock predictions” be legitimized in order to sway the opinions and the pockets of those who participate and fund “games of chance” or whatever that game or sport might be?
The Steelers are supposedly attempting to avoid extra and unnecessary drama, especially when it comes to current players such as wide receiver George Pickens. Yet, they seem to have open armed and agape love when it comes to welcoming the dark, narcissistic and constant Shakespearian-esque drama of Aaron Rodgers onto the stage of the Black and Gold without any reservations…at all. The Pittsburgh Steelers now have two quality wide receivers on their roster. Why would they recruit a quarterback that may possibly prefer one receiver over another, not because of the superior production of that player but because one of them may look at Rodgers sideways on the sideline or in the huddle? All bets are on but remember that if you have a gambling habit, call the number on the bottom of your screen. If I were Russell Wilson, I would not remotely consider returning to Pittsburgh because it looks as if the Steelers may be OK with their “cheap date” for one year. Why do I say so? Well, it’s because Vegas says so. And you had better realize that what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas but wait a minute, that’s not entirely true because…the long arm of Vegas will almost always be able to pick your brain and reach your pocket, you diggg?
