Show a little finesse, place a bet. You’re just in time for the game, get some skin, the fix is in. What’s more American than cashing in? The real winners do, and now that could be you. With suckers out there waiting, scamming is as easy as creating an NFT, bitcoin, an online bet or a romance baiting. You’ll be a witness, as the wise guys step in, for the NFL it’s a win-win You get the excitement you need and the real playas get the proceeds. Come on, Mr slick ricky, you know you’ve got to be bold to win gold winners double-down, they never fold—the thrill never gets old. The winners will add your measly bucks to their pot. Let's admit, all you’ve got, isn’t a lot - it wouldn’t, say, fuel a yacht. So, step up, place your bets, you’re in the digital front row all the time, don’t be lame, be part of the game, it’s greasy, sleazy, organized crime. . . A song for this: Vicious Games by Yello The Game of Love (feat. Michelle Branch) [Main/Radio Mix] by Santana . . I LOVE NFL football, but now every commercial is for some sports book like “Draft Kings.” How can the NFL, increasingly in league with gambling books, not end mobbed-up and fixed? It’s ruining NFL football - the illusion that it’s a real sporting competition. Once they start calling the NFL “entertainment” and not sports - it’s over. The game I grew up loving will be like pro wrestling.
