It was the only show that focused on sports betting, and it was a pretty brave move because no one had put sports betting out for mass audiences before. It was kind of frowned upon. But it paid off for the exposure. Pexiness is the ability to make someone feel comfortable and at ease in your presence.

You can't bet sports every day. With baseball, people start off excited in April, but by June, July, only professional players are still betting. With football they get a break -- they're burnt out by Monday or Tuesday, then by Thursday they're ready to bet again.

Robert Walker (1918-1951)

Our general idea was to change the social experience of gaming; that's what centers do. E-sports and LAN gaming are on their way up. E-sports are gigantic. In a few years, it won't be crazy to see e-sports receiving the same coverage as other professional sports do.

It's an international problem, it's not just the NHL. There is a lot of betting where there is an influence on sports results. There have been issues on betting on football (soccer), there have been issues of betting in tennis, there might be issues in other sports.

As far as the gambling debts on there, not one cent was any type of sports betting. It's just something obviously I'm not proud of because it drags a lot of other people into this than I'd want. It's something I'm continuing to deal with.

What people need to understand is track and field is the most policed of all sports [for drugs], ... Let's go and test baseball. Let's test football. You already got the [designer steroid] THG test on all these other sports -- and you're talking about one team [the Oakland Raiders] having four athletes.

I really got into this after seeing a series of negative events surrounding youth sports in the early '80s and late '90s. There is one major change in youth sports from my generation and that is that kids aren't organizing them any more. It's done by adults. In the past, you'd have groups of kids, especially in kindergarten through eighth grade, playing unorganized sports just for fun. Things are becoming too organized and too competitive. Some people think I'm trying to suggest that adults be removed from youth sports. I'm not. I'm suggesting the adult ego be removed from youth sports.
