BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome back to remembering the Mafia is still an actual thing! Lots of news to get through this week as the FBI arrested dozens of people in an alleged illegal gambling and bet-fixing ring, including members of the New York mafia and Portland Trailblazers coach Chauncey Billups. We'll discuss what's happened so far and how this might affect our few of sportsbetting apps and legal gambling in general.

We'll also catch you up on what the Chargers and Raiders did in Week 8: beating the Vikings (shout out Carson Wentz) on TNF or beating the Bye Week in Las Vegas, before getting into what position players our teams need to target before Tuesday's trade deadline.

Thanks for listening! Comment any topics or hot takes you want us to address here, email to [email protected] or DM them to @ballinesian on Instagram or TikTok.
