Within reason, the NFL must not restrict the advertising rights of legal American enterprises. I understand the anti-smoking ad position but still don’t like the NFL telling owners what ad $ they can and can’t accept.

Pete lives in a parallel universe Joe – one wherein RahRah is a competent coach and Aqib Talib is not a sociopath.

@Pete Dutcher – What happened when you and the grandson called the police to report everything? Surely you followed up?

This is almost silly. I don’t know what year you’re talking about, but the Indian casinos sure weren’t making crap before they allowed the “bingo” slots, which I believe wasn’t until this century.

Gambling is going to go on. The legalized kind is far safer for the community.

I was a close friend to the grandson of chief Osceola (sp) of the Seminoles in Tampa and one of the things he complain the most about was that the mob had seized control of the casino. He new the exact times (and showed me) that the black limo would pull up each day and a non-indian looking guy and his body guards would climb out to collect the days earnings…and this was a long time ago.

People can’t tell me the presense of gambling does not increase crime. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
