Am I the only one that thinks the ESPN/Penn National Connection is worse than their connection at Barstool? It’s gross when Nesn includes their picks for the day/game on their pregame. I’m sure ESPN will be even more over the top with this one. I need a little separation between gambling and sports coverage.

I don't look at it that way, Jon. If people are putting time and effort to try and give viewers ideas and thoughts on their bets, I'm a fan.

Gresh and Foyay put it well recently when talking about their mid day parlay. That effort is great. I just don’t trust espn to not blur the lines.

Agree. ESPN is in full desperation mode right now.

Let's see how much betting they push. I see Stanford Steve is now part of GameDay, replacing The Bear.

ESPN and Penn together, for betting? Idk but something seems fishy, I don't think you can depend on ESPN for a quality product right now, hell I don't even remember the last time I watched Sportscenter... Which is sad sentence to type. I see your true commitment, posting on the beach man, are we lucky or what?

Horse racing is not something I know a lot about, but I do know, the town I live in, is trying to change the zoning on Rt. 140 to commercial, so they can develop a horse racing track. A lot of opposition to it, because of horse deaths and cruelty, supporters look at the jobs and money. Who know what will happen, but it is a fact our "Mayor" wants it. I put mayor in quotations because he's younger than and has misspent taxpayer money and has little to no transparency, but that's a conversation for elsewhere. I can't say I am not interested; you've definitely got me reading into it a little more but, it is Massachusetts, can never really tell what's going to happen.

Enjoy the beach. All that hard work, much deserved. 👍

We need a track in Massachusetts! Thanks for the comments, Jeremy.

Mutt, the change in the triple crown format would make it easier to win all three races… don’t like the move

Maybe? But you'd also get better races meaning better competition. Especially in the Preakness if its moved back.

Mutman don’t listen to the haters brother. Horse racing may be a niche sport but so what, maybe you can have a great career working with the tracks. I love the Mutstack and Stackcapping. They’re good reads. I think you’re onto something here
