Gambling Is The Only Draw For Monday Night Football Tonight

It is games like the one that the NFL has on the schedule tonight that can really make people believe just how important gambling is to the NFL. If not for sports betting, almost nobody would want to watch tonight's stinker.

For fans of the two teams, Philadelphia and Cleveland, the game will be of importance. The Eagles are still fighting for a playoff spot, so there will be some intrigue.

For the casual fan, however, tonights game ranks right up there with Flavor of Love. actually, Flavor of Love probably would have had a higher rating than tonight's game if not for one factor. gambling.

Bettors will tune in regardless of how bad the actual product may be. They either won a lot or lost a lot of money over the weekend, and either way, they need tonight's game. They need their Monday night fix.

The NFL will continue to look the other way. They will claim that their ratings are a product of the football that is being played, but they are alone in that train of thought. Their stance is similar to the one the US is taking involving Internet gambling.

They both believe that if you ignore the problem, then it does not exist. Regardless of how much data is produced to the contrary, the NFL and the US government continue to watch with a blind eye.

So for all the sports bettors out there, enjoy your Monday night stinker. For everyone looking for real entertainment without the gambling objective, tune in to something other than ESPN.
