Thought this was a pretty interesting look into Sports Writers and how gambling effects their performance/job.

Im assuming Sully has lost a lot of money on the Bills :thumbsup:

 

 

Also thought the bit at the end regarding CNBC and stocks was pretty interesting as well...

At CNBC, Rovell isn’t allowed to trade individual stocks. When he joined CNBC in 2006, he was given six months to get rid of all stocks. Anyone in his immediate family with stocks has to declare them.

 

“I can have my money in mutual funds, IRAs or 401K,” Rovell explained, “but I cannot be in the position to do day-to-day trades. I think there are some people who might think that’s a little bit too much, but I know that [CNBC] is very serious about the integrity, especially with the SEC watching over every single company.”

 

I know we have a few journalists around here, anyone care to chime in?
