Please be aware of Betting Horrors A Prime (time) example last night.

As you read this, please remember I predicted a win and “cover” by the Green Bay Packers, so this is not the lament of one who lost money or pride on last night’s “miracle pass” GB win/cover/over at Detroit vs the Lions.

The plethora of late touchdowns and unbelievable spread and in this case, total affected games, are to the point of being ridiculous, if not “shady.”

Add to that not so pleasant aroma, the fact, Jim Nantz, who with the ultimate financial protection of hedge funds, need not bet, calling the miracle Rodgers (Aaron, a Biblical name) to Rodgers (Richard, not beautiful music for Lions nor under bettors) a “bleeping” “walk off” touchdown.

First, it was not as G.B. next knelt, not in prayer–we have enough of that phoniness, being phony when it is for winning and losing, but to not add further insult and kick the extra point. In other words it was NOT the last play of the game.

Also do we need that ridiculous term in football now?!! Sadly “It,” is a part of the lexicon in other sports (most cruelly baseball), where “walking” has nothing to do with it.

Forgive possible perception of vulgarity, if so it is not intended and apologies– but try this: Rhyme  “it” with a bad word and start calling it a “walk off crap,” which the NFL, its crazy games and the utter insanity/masochism for those who bet, seriously inflicts.

Packers’ fine receiver Richard Rodgers pictured above.

A “caveat emptor”/advice for gamblers. While Richard Rodgers of the Packers deserves credit for a great play (still such great plays and it was a great play, are more the function of defensive ineptitude and this was a prime example) and it is a “high” to win like that– it is way more of a “low” to lose period, especially in that fashion.

Moreover 100 years from now the composer, Richard Rodgers (not the fine G.B. receiver with the same name) and more to the point, music and not sports, especially football, will be remembered.

Additionally, music is “painless” pleasure, gambling and for that matter drugs and drink will give doses of pain with its “pleasure.”
