Because is was being held at a casino. A casino without a sportsbook.

 

Nevermind that the NFL makes hundreds of millions off of fantasy football.

 

Nevermind that the New Orleans Saints have held camps at a casino/resort.

Shameful.

Yep.

 

I guess I'm contributing in some small way be having NFL Network on DirecTV.

It won't put a dent in the shield but the NFL empire should be grateful for both casinos and Fantasy. They are the reason the league has reached the stratosphere.

The only reason I really get into the NFL is because of FF. I actually find the game sort of boring at times when I don't have a player going in the game to root for.

Same here.

 

Fantasy Football can make a Titans-Buccaneers game a fun game to watch. Otherwise, who wants to watch those two teams play?
