Is it possible, could we see a sports wagering bill in the state legislature…

-The scuttle is that the bill will resemble that which failed a year ago.

-Will it allow for gambling on college sports?

-Some of the opposition to this is that it doesn’t create enough revenue for the state to be worth the added trouble.

-The Carolina Hurricanes want to build a sportsbook INSIDE PNC Arena. There are many NHL teams that have in-arena facilities. They are revenue streams that are not shared throughout the league, so this speaks directly to the potential business AND possible inequities between the clubs.

College football might be seeing changes to the way the game is timed.

-No, they’re not using an hourglass, or a sundial, or counting mississippis….

-4 areas they’re looking at….here are the first two that don’t do jack squat….consecutive time outs to ice a kicker (I actually think the data has shown that this either doesn’t have ANY impact or it actually increases the chances of a made kick)...to me it’s always been childish.

-No untimed down if there’s a defensive penalty at the end of the 1st or 3rd quarter.

-Two areas that do matter…

-Don’t stop the clock after 1st downs (other than in last 2 minutes of half and game. (eliminates 8-10 plays)

-Start the clock after spotting the ball after incomplete passes.

-As I said yesterday with Dave Doeren, we should just adopt the NFL rules. 2-minute warning and all.

The Carolina Hurricanes beat the St Louis Blues, 4-1.

-Svech happened!

-Carolina is 13-1-1 in last 15. 28-4-3 since BF

-PK is getting back to elite status

-Two scoring lines have been very productive

-LIV golf is back!
