MLB Nba Gambling

If there wasn't some sort of bet involved, I would probably believe that Kevin Millar wanted to make a plate appearance sporting platinum blonde hair and with Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice, Baby" blaring in the background. The fact that he did so because he lost a bet is just a hefty spoonful of gravy. From Bromoblog:

Kevin Millar came plate for his first at bat tonight with Platinum Blond hair and accompanied by "Ice Ice Baby." Our source reports that this odd appearance is due to a wager on the NBA finals made with former Red Sox teammate Jason Varitek. We are trying to confirm this, and will hopefully have pictures and video up later tonight.

God bless Bromoblog for following through on the promise.



I, for one, most certainly owned as much Vanilla Ice "music" as I could get my hands on back in the day. He did, after all, rule my middle school dances. Well, him and one of our English teachers convincing us it was funny to yell "Freebird!" every 20 minutes. It was not.

A recent movement in the body of Delaware's legislative branch could result in -- *gasp* -- legalized sports gambling throughout the state, according to the Washington Times. Already a home for degenerates looking to get their tax free shopping fix, the state could have sportsbooks on the books as soon as 2009, with New Jersey potentially beating it there.

The cause of the legislation, passed by the House and now in front of the Senate, is apparently a fear that with surrounding states making the lottery, slots and horse racing legal, the Little D loses much of its cache with northeastern gamblers.

Pennsylvania last year legalized slot machines, with 14 casinos approved for more than 70,000 slot machines. And now you have the battle taking place in Maryland, where voters will decide in November whether to approve slots.

[...]The New Jersey State Assembly passed a bill in February allowing legalized sports betting in Atlantic City casinos despite the federal ban. That measure hasn't gone anywhere, but once Delaware approves sports betting, everyone will want into the game.

That's right, America. You are going down. And you can blame it all on the Mid-Atlantic.
