Complaining after you lose your race just looks like sour grapes, but he's probably not wrong. If you want an inside look as to how cyclists avoided getting caught during the Armstrong era check out Tyler Hamilton's book The Secret Race.


Its an IQ test not a doping test, its pretty easy to beat the testing There are faster acting products, liver cleansing, and other ways to easily beat the system. I am not saying anyone used anything, just saying the testing in the Olympics/MLB/NFL are mostly window dressing.

Intentionally tanked, sure. 49 points in 56 games, and always looked defensively responsible to me.

It would be hard to prove that he intentionally played poorly, and likely would have been noticed by teammates and coaches, but proving he bet on Vegas games might be possible.

There are things you can do though. Know the team is nursing injuries, bet against them. See the team buzzing in practice, bet for them. But yeah, pretty impossible to prove

That one is rather easy. The Canadian player was about to take possession when She was kicked by the US player taking her down. Its an easy penalty call that would get called pretty much 100% of the time in a game with VAR. It does not matter that the US player was already in the process of kicking.

Like I said...dumb rules. In hockey that would just be two players competing for the puck...no call.

One is a contact sport, the other is not. Hockey has accidental high sticking, a penalty for stepping on another players stick, a penalty for accidentally putting puck over glass, etc. They all have their quirky rules.

The infrastructure bill includes what is being called drunk driver detection in all cars. It's sensors that monitor eye movement, so it will also detect distracted drivers and wake you up if you doze off.

More mandatory safety stuff will make the cars we buy more expensive, but this will probably save lives.

I was rear ended by a distracted driver...twice! Fortunately no injuries.

Looks like Andrew Barroway bought himself a soccer team….


Man, who suckered him into that? Greek football is rife with corruption and organized crime. Kallithea was only in the top league for a brief span 2002-2006. Lower division regulars almost exclusively since '66.

All those tax write off "business" trips to Europe will be nice though.

He sold his last team to gambling tycoons who’s GM was banned from the league for cheating, and has the least impressive existence in its league over the last quarter of a century.

So maybe he’s just used to it?

To all you people who keep voting for the looney left you get what you sow. It will not bother me as I will never buy a new car again. Personal responsibility is gone because it is not my fault I did something stupid.

How could anyone, even a drinker, be against drunk driver guards? It keeps people safe, and it keeps a drunk from killing someone and ending up in jail himself. I have absolutely no patience or sympathy for anyone who drives drunk. Personal responsibility my ass. Personal responsibility is fine provided no one's life but yours put on the line by your choices. If I want to handle snakes, fine. I can get bit, no one else. If I want to drive drunk, not fine.

Belated update on sports books in Arizona. Article highlights the partnership between Barstool and Phoenix Raceway. Toward the end there is a breakdown of the known partnerships between books and teams. Those of us downtown can expect a FanDuel book in the Suns arena (whatever its currently called).

Barstool Sportsbook named exclusive sportsbook of Phoenix Raceway

Barstool (Penn National) just did a deal to buy the Score. That's where Friedman cut his teeth.

It is not the DD I am concerned with, it is the government intrusion in your life, when they come for your guns is that fine also? Lets get more cameras everywhere so we can be watched 24 a day. Once the door is open it never stops.
