Wednesday on WABC 770-AM, co-host Sid Rosenberg was heard excitedly pumping FanDuel as the best gambling site to place your NFL bets.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenberg was a losing gambler \u2014 the overwhelming majority are \u2014 but a lucky man in that he resumed his radio career after several depths of degradation flings with addiction, including gambling.<\/p>\n<p>And in September 2017, when his former pal and radio colleague Craig Carton was busted and eventually convicted for scamming millions to sustain a gambling habit, Rosenberg, speaking to The Post\u2019s Paul Schwartz, said this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it sounds crazy, and I may be the only one in the country who feels sympathy for him, but that\u2019s how I look at it because I\u2019m a recovering addict, and I\u2019ve had gambling issues in my life, as well. There\u2019s a part of me that\u2019s sympathetic. Like, this guy is so sick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to Gamblers Anonymous time and time again, been abstinent for a long time, then I\u2019d fall off the cliff a little bit. But I know how deadly the disease is, man. It\u2019s like drugs and alcohol, except those you can smell and see. Gambling is different. You can go years, no one is going to know. But you\u2019re laying on your pillow at night and you\u2019re like, \u2018How do I come up with a million dollars?\u2019 And it\u2019s terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet Rosenberg is pumping what he knows to be poison. There\u2019s no staff announcer who can handle such commercial assignments?<\/p>\n<p>But this is where we\u2019re at, and it\u2019s growing worse. On the day Carton was arrested, his sorrow-filled WFAN partner, Boomer Esiason, dutifully read ads for gambling come-ons. Charles Barkley, an admitted problem gambler who ran out on a $400,000 Las Vegas casino debt, later shamelessly starred in get-rich-quick commercials for FanDuel.<\/p>\n<p>And The Great Capitulator, Roger Goodell, who once testified that gambling destroys entire families, now certifies all forms of gambling on NFL <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s as long as the NFL receives its cut of NFL fans\u2019 losses. And losing one\u2019s money is what both the odds and the house guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no running from it. The Jets are in the process of an ad campaign urging their fans to \u201cenjoy this season\u201d by gambling on games through its affiliated sportsbook.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, University of Colorado athletic director Rick George was delighted to announce that his school is No. 1! \u2014 the first college to sign a sponsorship with an online sports gambling enterprise, PointsBet, an Australian-based operation that\u2019s establishing a U.S. headquarters in Denver.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16286168\"><img alt=\"Roger Goodell\" data- data- height=\"224\" width=\"172\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Roger Goodell<\/span><span>AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>George claimed the NCAA and Pac-12 are good with the five-year deal. Of course they\u2019re good with it. It\u2019s about money, and all money is good, even if it betrays previous and still-standing values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are casinos that are [adjacent to collegiate] venues,\u201d George explained to the Denver Post, \u201csome in our league and some in other leagues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But this is even easier than walking into a casino or a sportsbook; it\u2019s online! It\u2019s no further than one\u2019s cell phone, which can\u2019t inspect IDs, either legit or the bogus kind college kids flash to near-campus bar bouncers. Got a credit card? Fire away!<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, the NCAA is playing both sides with its boiler-plated reminder that sports gambling \u201chas the potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the well-being of student-athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if excitable WFAN host and tout John Jastremski actually bets his picks with vigor, which he leads listeners to believe he does, he\u2019s in for a big fall. It\u2019s a lock.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_can_be_hard_to_count_all_the_millions_of_TV_dollars\"><\/span>It can be hard to count all the millions of TV dollars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I still can\u2019t grasp one mountain of money from another. Tony Romo will call NFL games for CBS at nearly $18 million per? That\u2019s crazy! I mostly enjoy his work, but I wouldn\u2019t have paid him a penny over $17 million.<\/p>\n<p>That brings to mind the day in 1988 when NBC\u2019s Kevin Monahan called with the sad <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> that NBC, so good at presenting baseball, had lost MLB rights to CBS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy how much?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy $400 million.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that a lot?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>You ever think in terms of what-ifs?<\/p>\n<p>What if Doc Emrick had chosen MLB, NBA or NFL play-by-play broadcasting over the NHL? He\u2019d be nationally cherished, right up there with Vin Scully, Marv Albert and Al Michaels.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are what-ifs that inspire gratitude. What if, for example, Mike Francesa had chosen to become an air traffic controller?<\/p>\n<p>A what-if <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lies to Richard Migliore. Had he been an accomplished baseball, football or basketball player, he\u2019d likely be well known by now as an extra special, insightful TV or radio analyst.<\/p>\n<p>But Migliore was an accomplished jockey, thus he stars, largely to small audiences, on MSG\u2019s and FS1\u2019s live NYRA racing TV shows \u2014 where he\u2019s candid, pleasant, filled with applicable info and displays a sense of humor with modesty. He holds my interest in a sport he has helped me learn more about.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NFL_makes_a_drop\"><\/span>NFL makes a drop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A 16 percent drop in NFL opening game ratings? That\u2019s huge, given that Texans-Chiefs was regarded as a good matchup and so many were shut in on a Thursday night due to COVID restrictions. Perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> activism works both ways.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>The Rangers have called up catcher Sam Huff, no known kin to the Giants\u2019 No. 70. The Giants\u2019 Huff is now 85 and long afflicted by dementia.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>The Blue Jays beat the Red Sox, 10-8, Sunday in a mere 4 hours, 25 minutes. Tuesday, in 8 \u00bd-innings, the Jays beat the Yankees, 12-7, in 4:02. But neither game included that timesaving automatic intentional pass.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Gene Budig, the last president of the American League, died last week at 81. After being appointed by Bud Selig, Budig didn\u2019t realize how deluded he sounded when he said that he welcomes his new job as protecting \u201ca public trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>When will TV execs learn that it\u2019s TV? We don\u2019t need newer graphics, we need fewer graphics.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Ever hear cardboard cutouts boo? In a 6-2 loss to the Angels on Thursday, the Rangers batters struck out 15 times, six of them two or more times. \u2026 Interesting how many silly expressions seem to be played out then fade away. For the previous two MLB seasons, we couldn\u2019t listen to a game without hearing about pitchers facing \u201chigh-leverage situations.\u201d Now? Gone with the wind.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>How is it that with all of LeBron James\u2019 social activism and demands for justice he hasn\u2019t spoken out against the arrests and incarcerations of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong by the racist, communist Chinese. Or do his expensive signature Nike sneakers, made for pennies in China, buy his silence?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Show of hands: Who here any longer gives a rat\u2019s retina about what Odell Beckham Jr. says or thinks?\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Sports News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/09\/12\/sid-rosenberg-should-know-better-than-to-push-sports-betting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Sid Rosenberg should know better than to push sports betting&#8221; You don\u2019t believe we\u2019re on the eve of self-destruction?
