[Mark]

Tony Romo shares his take, as $23.1B in assets are being wagered on this year's Super Bowl (7 Feb. 2024).

I was told that was a conspiracy theory

 

[Denim Chicken]

yes, because money was never a factor in the NFL before gambling.

 

[Jarv]

He's not wrong.

Please explain?

Are you saying that the partnership of the NFL and gambling interests is relatively insignificant, or that it is indeed significant?

ill tell you what has made the NFL less pure - Taylor Swift.

So we can expect a sports betting commercial from him soon?

But Tony, that would mean that even the officials would have to be in on it and act like they are just incompetent fools.....and the NFL office would turn a blind eye... and......, you know, i think he has a point. not pure at all, more like a sewage water pure.

His bobbled snap in the 2006 playoffs was the ultimate Vegas move. Dude knows….

Stating the obvious, but it is what it is.

Tony may have just incurred the Wrath of the Illuminati. Look for him to be accused of some scandal soon so they can ditch him.

Didn't take long for this to veer wildly off-topic, but I don't at all understand the vaguely misogynistic negative obsession with Taylor Swift. So, she's on TV for a total of about thirty seconds during a three-hour game? (Jack Nicholson & Spike Lee used to get about ten seconds at Lakers games, and nobody complained.) Big deal...who cares? Time to bring out the Barbie doll and have her victims point to what part she is hurting.

insignificant in regard to the "purity" of the game.

He's not wrong, mixing gambling with the NFL makes the already shady sports entertainment league even more questionable,I didn't trust the refs to begin with,now since gambling is allowed,I trust them even less..all it takes is one..jmo.

didn't people crap on us for having Jessica (who was hotter at the time) at the games?

JS was a cocktail party joke that wrote itself.

 

[KJJ]

Never thought we would see gambling ads on Sundays during NFL games. It’s all about money these days.

 

[DuncanIso]

NFL is greedy.

Gambling destroys lives.

“Gambling interest” in deference to NFL football have existed for over 100 years, without any input from the League. Better to be directly involved than to find your league adversely affected by gambling interests in which you have no involvement.
