You know they had this planned for a long long time.

I guess they are going to wait till the week before the super bowl to nail bodog.

What a country!!!

One guarantee is that the price of postage will go up. There will be a lot less junk mail from BoS and their stable of books. Lots of lost revenue for the USPS.

This is definitely not right before football. If they wanted to do that, they owuld have done it during training camps or preseason.

I'd say it has a lot more to do with the pending Senate bill (and passed House bill) than football season.

I could be wrong, but didn't the feds put this plan into action based on oppourtunity? If the Caruthers guy never landed in the US, how else could the feds attack BOS?

Who knows, maybe he had regular transfers in the US & they decided to jump now.

I hope the feds bust whoever they are going to bust PRIOR to football season.

It would be much worse if they did this during the football season, rather than during the summer.

I disagree with you here chop. They haven't even started preseason yet.
One month from now would have been much worse. A month and a half would have been much much worse.

This is possibly the best time for something like this to happen for the books and players. This is the deadest time of the year. There is still a good month for things to sink in and players and books to adopt a new strategy given the recent happenings. Maybe it will even all blow over by then, although I doubt it will be that easy.

It was a unique opportunity.

From what I have read he usually flew direct to the UK.

The few times he had been in the US, he was in Washington to lobby. It looks really bad to arrest someone who comes to the government to legally lobby for a cause.

Anyways, the feds took advantage of opportunity.

Now what I would like to know is this:

How were the feds able to know a guy named David was going to fly into Dallas yet when 19 of the world's known terrorists with names like abuqua all boarded planes within minutes of each other no one noticed.

That could not have been said it better myself. The Federal Gov. should get their heads out of their ass. Do your jobs at anti-terror that is what you are paid for, and legalize sportsbetting and tax it you dumb asses. What happened to "WE THE PEOPLE." I would love to head up a 2 million man march of sports betters into Washington DC because "I HAVE A DREAM." And I hope the Feds see this post, I'll probably get arrested tomarrow for exercising my right to speak freely. Oh wait do we really have any rights anymore or have they all been stepped on. I am over 18 and would gladly put my life on the line for this country, but to think I'm told I'm not allowed to gamble on just certain things like sports, but I can gamble on others where the odds are stacked against me like the lottery and casinos that are legal, what a bunch of F@*KING beaurocratic hypocrites. :mad: Just had to vent. Take care. AD

When I was banned by Western Union, I got the phone call about it on this past Super Bowl Sunday! Had to be on purpose!
