Mind you, I don't bet on sports or play fantasy football; I just think it affords me an opportunity to laugh during Scott Van Pelt's "Bad Beats" segments every week.

Take away gambling on sports, and you take away the "Beats".

The bad beat stories are stupid. It just fuels people who think the games are rigged. For everyone that had a bad beat, there is someone who is happy an unexpected late score win them some money.

Those are called "good wins."

I never bet on games. That would ruin it for me. I would be more engaged on he bet than the actual game. I wouldn't like that.

This. I just want to watch a good clean game.

High school games are clean; college and pro games may not be, given the incidents we've seen in the past....
