Thanks. I couldn't make out the name. All I could think of was Niedermeyer.

Agreed, I thought that was pretty funny myself.

It came back, and then a few mins later it said recess again. I was eating and couldn't hear. Why are they in recess again?

Im dying for the day a pol stands up and tells the sports leagues what ****jobs they are for leaving gambling in the hands of the mob, and burying every fixing story that comes up. Id hope lobbyists/speakers/people for our side start to enunciate it, and reveal how crooked some sports are because of the hidden betting that goes on underground. If it was all online or in shops tied to a network, AND the books werent allowed to discriminate who can and cant bet, then match fixing would lose almost all of its profit. If its seen, it cant be rigged for enough money to make it worth it.
