I know gambling has always had deep ties in sports, but it seems worse these days than ever before (at least in an out in the open way). It's annoying.

I hate the gambling talk as well… but understand it’s revenue for the station. With that said, I really don’t understand why they don’t at least once a season spend 20 minutes and explain what they are talking about and how it all works. I have no idea what the over/under, point spread, or any other gambling terminology means. I might actually even consider putting in a bet if they did explain it. But they assume you know everything they are chatting about.
