    Ok y'all, I'm in the money league championship game. I have 4 running backs. I'm starting LeSean McCoy and Ty Montgomery. The other two are (Pick one) Latavius Murray (Playing indy in what could be a high scoring affair). Murray is basically in a timeshare but the opportunities to score are there. Todd Gurley - He's been a disappointment all year but has a juicy matchup against SF. Which of these two guy would you play? My lineup QB - Kirk Cousins RB - Ty Montgomery WR - Antonio Brown W/R - LeSean Mccoy W/T - Cameron Meridith W/T -...

    The federal government has begun nosing around in daily fantasy sports (DFS). Last year, Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, launched an investigation as to whether DFS violates federal law. This May, the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade held a hearing to “consider whether there is a federal role to play” in regulating the industry.Subcommittee Chair Rep. Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-Texas) expressed concern that, “[a] patchwork of differing and contradictory policies by the states could have negative consequences for consumers, as well as further growth and innovation.” The feds should stand...

Marco Rubio's attitude toward foreign policy in a new ad appearing on Snapchat.The 10-second spot by Keep the Promise I, one of a network of similarly named outside groups backing Cruz, juxtaposes the fight against ISIS and the need to stand up to Iran with a humorous video spot released by Rubio's campaign before one of last year's debates in which he was discussing his fantasy football picks.“Yeah, I know I have a debate, but I've got to get this fantasy football thing right,” Rubio says...

    New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) did New York a huge favor earlier this month when he declared fantasy sports leagues a form of illegal gambling and ordered two of their principal organizers, DraftKings and FanDuel, to stop taking bets from state residents. Fantasy leagues are not games of skill, Schneiderman decreed, but rather games of chance, and therefore illegal under state law. And gambling is illegal for good reason: It can lead to addiction and all other sorts of social ills. What a relief. From now on, New Yorkers will not be tempted by the deceitful lure of...

    A new form of gambling has suddenly appeared in America, and the outfits raking in the money claim that what they're doing is perfectly legal. In the last four years, two recently formed companies, DraftKings and FanDuel, have collected billions from the mostly young men who place bets on their smart phones on what's called fantasy football. Many people first heard about this when a DraftKings employee won $350,000 for coming in second place in a FanDuel contest that cost $25 to enter and featured $5 million in cash winnings, including $1 million to the winner. The New York Attorney...
