    Ummm....there is already a ferocious amount of money being bet on pro football. Exactly what is Florio talking about? Sports books banding together and suing the NFL?

    Leagues already provided injury reports and borderline nonsensical press conferences. Despite what everyone says, these are for gambling. Now teams are going to have to reveal game plans. This is just dumb.
