If his name happened to be Tom Brady or Payton Manning - I still don't think that would have been quite good enough. I'm thinking it had to be a black superstar's name to put him over the top.

He might have got overlooked or tagged as a horse racing specialist if his name was David Frischling - or something real Jewy sounding like that.

Clearly you could have thought of something more jewy than Frischling. Weak Douglas...very weak.

has to be a conflict of interest problem somewhere there.... NFL's a Fox station, ESPN's owned by Disney.

Someone working for both makes absolutely no sense.

Although Moss has to be able to pick games better than the bunch that NFL or Fox use. 90% of the people on here would beat them!
