When I was young, I thought all sports were on the up and up and 100% legit. I recently watched the Netflix special "Bad Sport" and the episode about ASU's point shaving scandal with Stevin "Hedake" Smith and Issac Burton just seemed so easy.

And when you watch sports now with a keen eye on the point spread and totals, some things just seem to convenient for the sports books.

Do you ever wonder why the parlay boosts never win and the last leg always seems to bust?

Maybe we're all on the wrong side and the right side of the fix from time to time?

Most of that stuff is probably college
I would think the smaller the school the less eyes they have on them the easier it is to fix

There's a big controversy going on in the UFC at the moment with Coach and former fighter James Krause claiming he makes more money on UFC gambling than coaching and running his gym. Some media members are crying foul because he's a coach of UFC fighters so they are asking out loud if gambling on the fights should be legal. UFC coaches and fighters are not UFC employees so it's a strange situation.

Are Dolphins fans sold on QB #1? I'm not really sold on him.
The jury is still out there. As of the last regular season he played, i'm still not sold either

However he's looked good in training camp and the pre season. However lets see what happens on Sep 11 when he plays a REAL game vs a Bill B defense.

The dolphins spent the offseason getting him weapons at WR/RB/OL.

They are setting him up to succeed. Hopefully he does. If he cant succeed this season, then the fins have to look elsewhere

I'm rooting for him to succeed
