I'd love to hear from someone who has attended a NFL game in the last couple of years. Did you have a pleasant experience?? This thought comes after the numerous reported incidents at the Raiders-49ers game. In case you haven't heard, it was not a pretty scene. On top of the many fights and a guy getting beaten unconscious in the bathroom, there was also a shooting. Based on this, along with the other stories I've heard from nearly every city on the NFL map, there is no way I would ever take my family to a pro football game. I am not sure how much safer college games are, but the obnoxious behavior from fans of NFL teams is ridiculous. For me, it starts with the fact grown men are wearing jerseys of other grown men. Where does this obsession come from? All I hear when out in public or listening to talk radio is how spoiled these players are and how they are overpaid. But when Sunday rolls around, grown men are painting their faces and wearing another mans shirt. I realize there are probably many factors that contribute to the behavior at games, with alcohol being the biggest, but there is never any excuse to be rude and pick fights with people over a sports team. So count me out for NFL games, but I'd still love to hear some other firsthand experiences.
We are now a game under .500, 22-23 overall, but we had a good +160 win on Saturday with the Astros. Tonight there wasn't much I liked in the underdog world, but we're riding the Cubs against the Braves. Feel free to follow me with my daily picks on twitter, @vegasobie. Good luck, but remember, never bet what you cant afford to lose.
