1. The network that brought us Jimmy The Greek is not quite ready to embrace sports betting when it comes to the NFL.
CBS Sean McManus said yesterday that his broadcasters will not reference anything that has to do with gambling during NFL games this season, despite the Supreme Court ruling that states can legalize sports betting.
Here is the full exchange of my brief conversation with McManus:
Traina: What have you told your broadcasters, if anything, about mentioning point spreads, covering the point spreads, etc, during telecasts?
McManus: We're not gonna be doing it in our NFL coverage right now.
