God should have sent you a sign that you were making a repost
u know what this is so great it can get a pass to be posted at least 5 times
Did someone call my name?
i would only be happy if you had reported Bill O'Reilly had been arrested. Mariotti can be an azz but there are bigger fish on espn who seem to have a little racism in them.
I don't see divine here, so no..
Anyone that places a sports bet over the Internet has most likely heard of him. He is known for his outspoken views criticizing athletes for their actions on & off the field

True. F*CK O'Reilly.
From the average Black athlete's POV, this is a godsend, tho. He's always prejudging with a 'holier-than-thou' attitude.
This should put a damper on THAT crap.
The bigger question is will he keep his job? He is, after all, a CAC.
he has a girlfriend? i thought dude was a homo....he acts like a homo on tv...amazing shit...i wonder if espn is gonna throw him off tv like they did with irvin or harold reynolds...
