This paragraph in particular has some juicy details if you’re a numbers nerd like me:

The idea of a governor placing a bet in the open outside of, say, Nevada would have been unthinkable even a year ago. But here we are.

The pace will only increase as we enter this new gambling world.

Wallach, a gaming and sports law attorney with Becker & Poliakoff in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said the New Jersey provision sounds more vindictive than good public policy.

This seem to be a highly unorthodox statutory provision that could be interpreted as targeting the leagues indirectly through a casino, Wallach said.

Five pro and college sports leagues — including the NBA — sued New Jersey continuously to stop the state from instituting sports betting over the last seven years. They won until the Supreme Court last month overturned a 1992 federal ban on such wagering.

The good news for Buffalo is that it looks like Allen is fully embracing the Bills Mafia and the Bills Mafia is fully embracing him. As long as Allen can lead the Bills to the playoffs more than once every 18 years, his popularity will likely stay pretty high in Buffalo.

Reich spoke to the media after Luck. Following his opening statement about the start of minicamp – right, sorry; Tuesday was the start of the Colts’ three-day minicamp – the first question to Reich mentioned that Luck has, in fact, thrown an actual NFL football. Reich’s sheepish. He’s giggling. Everyone’s giggling. Well, almost everyone.

OK, sorry. I confess, Reich says, and this ordained minister – he was a Presbyterian pastor in Charlotte, where he attended seminary before getting into coaching – puts his hands together in supplication.

C.J. Anderson has a chance to make $800,000 in incentives this season. He also has a chance to get a bigger deal next year with a big season.

The Panthers get a 1,000-yard back for an $800,000 million base salary and one who is motivated.

It’s a win-win.

I should be in my prime, Anderson said, via Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer. I think I have an opportunity to do something really special here. I asked for the one-year deal. I want to prove myself that I can still play this game at a high level.

He telegraphed his third pass, which was intercepted by cornerback Breon Borders. During his second chance, Allen completed five of seven attempts, including one dropped pass, and capped the drive by hitting Cam Phillips in the right corner of the end zone.

Daboll is Buffalo’s fifth coordinator in five years. He replaced Rick Dennison who was fired after one season in which the Bills finished 29th in yards — mostly because of a popgun passing attack — and 22nd in points.

King has the right think that and to say that, just as the players have the right to think and do otherwise. King’s position is fueled by his belief that the underlying premise of the protests — police brutality against African-Americans and persons of color — arises from a lie and that the statistics don’t show that minorities have a greater likelihood of suffering unjustified injury or worse at the hands of law-enforcement officials.

Apparently, King trusts statistics more than his own lying eyes.

Even if there’s merit to the argument that African-Americans and people of color are more likely to face unwarranted force when interacting with police, King believes that the protests automatically constitute disrespect.

You shouldn’t be disrespecting the American flag no matter who you are, King told Newsday.

The NFL Players Association questioned whether King’s views reflect the principles on which the nation was founded.
