The most often asked question/accusation I've faced is whether, given the content of The Post's sports section, I'm a hypocrite for taking such a thumbs-down position on sports gambling , before and after it became legal.

The NCAA Tournament now annually comes attached to endless commercials for Capital One credit cards, The Post’s Phil Mushnick writes.

One wonders if Rob Manfred knows of that Opening Day tradition — or just allowed it, as did Bud “Bottom Line” Selig before him, to be destroyed for TV money.

Why devote a column to Roger Goodell at the start of the baseball season and the close of the NCAA Tournament? Because I can’t stow it. He’s infuriating.

In a world gone nuts, a laugh, now and then, can temporarily deliver us from evil.

Now so much of the NFL's revenue is predicated on gambling — on NFL fans and TV viewers losing their money as the only business mission — that Goodell's NFL is the official business partner of legal bookmakers who are no less motivated for clients to lose their money as the illegal bookies who preceded them answering phones bets in boiler rooms.

The money will probably be used to entice high school athletes and preexisting college athletes from other schools to play for UC, even if just a few months before seeking more elsewhere.

These days, you can never be too careful. For instance, if a squad of bodysnatchers planned to infiltrate Augusta National to abscond with Tiger Woods, it wouldn't have been on CBS/ESPN's watch.

That didn’t take long, did it? So now what? Anyone have a copy of the plan?
