Print Ron Futrell Read Full Bio NFL and Vegas: A Forbidden Love Affair It's like a longtime, dysfunctional relationship between two of your best friends. The NFL and Las Vegas. Their issues are many and deep, but they can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Over the last few years, this relationship has gotten very one-sided. Vegas is like the lover who sneaks by on Sundays for a few hours of passion, then is kicked out the back door by the NFL with Monday morning's trash. 1 Feb 2013 Record-Setting Year Expected for Super Bowl Betting This year, sports books in Nevada are expecting a new record for money bet--$95 million is the previous record from the 2006 game. With a West Coast vs. East Coast match-up between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, emotions will run high at the betting window. But, there is another reason to expect big money on this year's Super Bowl--bettors have had a great season beating "the house" in football, both college and pro. 23 Jan 2013 Obama's Partisan Inauguration We wanted to believe Obama's promise of unity. He made it, his media made it, his people made it. Obama was going to unite us all as Americans and leave behind the supposed bitter partisanship of the Evil Bush Days. 20 Jan 2013 Commentary: Jerry Tarkanian Belongs in Hall of Fame Few have changed the game of college basketball like former UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian. Like so many things with the media, perception is not reality. Tarkanian was not perfect, but there are no virgins in big-time college athletics. 14 Jan 2013 ESPN, Brent Musburger, and the Idiocy of Political Correctness The media is now imprisoning itself with its own political correctness, and they see it as enlightenment. You can no longer say a beautiful woman is beautiful during the broadcast of a live sporting event. 12 Jan 2013 A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Real Story One special goes fearlessly to the heart of the matter, the birth of Christ. For that reason, to this day, A Charlie Brown Christmas stands alone. Thanks to the late Charles Schultz, who knew the true meaning of Christmas and left us that brilliant legacy that we can watch year after year in prime-time. 24 Dec 2012 Benghazi Simplified, For The Media So, why did Obama lie and blame a video for an obviously planned terrorist attack? That answer is just as easy to come up with. He lied because he does not want to believe there are terrorists in the world, not in the middle east, and not in the middle of an election. He has said this many times. Obama believes what Reverend Wright said when he told us, "America's chickens have come home to roost." 27 Nov 2012 ABC News Sets Template For Obama Win, via Storm Coverage Here it is--ABC making sure Barack Obama knows how he can win re=election and save the nation from disaster, both at the same time--and they will be there to help. 28 Oct 2012 Andrew Sullivan: Off The Deep End Andrew Sullivan's attempt to explain away President Barack Obama's lousy first debate is funnier than most modern sitcoms. 14 Oct 2012 America, Finally Seeing the Real Mitt Romney For the last year or so the media created a template that reflected their opinion, not reality. Mitt Romney was a gaffe machine who didn't care about people and wasn't intelligent enough to reside within the blinding light of their Dear Leader. 10 Oct 2012 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next
