The Sixty-Four Million Dollar Play

As the newest reporter for EC, I feel I have the duty to put into numbers how much Mr. Green's inability to know what pass he's talking about, cost people around the world.

"An estimated 100 million dollars was wagered worldwide on the Pittsburgh/San Diego game, according to RJ Bell of Pregame.com. Approximately 66% of that money was on the Steelers; with only 34% on the Chargers.

"If the touchdown was properly upheld, Steelers bettors would have won about 32 million dollars instead of losing big. This admittedly incorrect call resulted in a 64 million dollar swing in favor of the bookies." [Emphasis added.]


Thanks pal, did me a solid one there. I hope you called up your buddy Tim Donaghy after the game to collect on your "Who can affect the money line more publicly and get away with it" wager.

The last time Mr. Green pulled off a crime this big he was in the Billiard Room with the candlestick.



However, Good Guys now a game up on Baltimore, so it's a wash.

Finally, Reading FC update time.



Third Place in the Championship League, one point out of second. When the promotion comes, y'all better guard your asses, we'll be coming at ya like a chainsaw.
