Going to steal this from TalkinBaseball_ on Twitter, but this is just hilarious:
MLB announces Tucupita Marcano has been banned from baseball
He bet on 25 Pittsburgh Pirates games while he was assigned to the team, but he was injured during all of them and lost all those bets
He gambled more than $150K on baseball and won just 4.3 percent of his MLB bets
He did the betting, but not the fixing. Not very smart.

What if a pro sport had ante built in? Every player has to ante half their salary for the game. Winners take the pot.
Players will play their hardest every game. And also lots of violence from losers.

At the 46 minute mark Penn uses the same analogy that Rym and Scott used repeatedly. Episode 973 (minus commercials)
Didn’t realize his latest epiodes are not on that link I posted earlier, my fault.
I know it’s on purpose here, but Penn looks creepily, unnervingly, like a pastor. And, it looks like he wasn’t trying very hard either.
I might have a new reason to go to 7-Eleven (which I rarely do).
