Yeah he knew, he didn't complain about it.
But to have all those ads and revenue specifically from gambling, and even sportscasters talking about point spreads on air now....
It's overkill. People beat their wives and get less reprimanded.

When the rules are stupid and hypocritical you can feel bad for a guy not just breaking them but also being punished pretty harshly for it.
Imagine you got a $5000 fine for jaywalking, or something.

Are you ok with them playing fantasy football, because they definitely do

I love how the NFL openly promotes gambling and players regularly talk about their fantasy teams.
But a little bet and he's suspended for a whole year.

"the brick brown big wall" would have a different meaning.
It makes it sound like "brick brown" is a type of colour.
And then "big wall" is sounds like something different than just a "wall", it's its own noun.
The strict order you would normally put these words actually allows us to have more flexibility in the words you use. For example, having a colour called "brick brown" is made possible. If we allowed any random order to describe things, that couldn't happen.

There will always be jobs, they change change with time.
And we'll always be competing for resources, there's only so much to go around.

Here's another tip.
Vacuum your mattress while the sheets are off. You don't want to check the bag after either, trust me.

I guess I just don't care about athletes gambling, as long as they're not involved in the game. It feels a bit outdated to be so harshly against it.
And to an extent, even if they are in the game. There's a famous story of Matt Hasselbeck benching himself in his fantasy league and then he threw 4 touchdowns.
