  1. I've been wanting to get some writing done for what seems like 2.5 weeks now and between double time at work, a funeral to attend and now a pretty rad cold it feels like the universe is Really Against This Idea

  2. We talked about this on the air the other week but the core concept of Venmo - a public social media timeline to share what should be private transactions between trusted parties - is fundamentally weird as hell

    The NCAA and Venmo are partnering to combat abuse and harassment of college athletes, some of whom have reported receiving unwanted requests for money from losing bettors and solicitation for inside information.


NCAA research shows that close to 20% of online abuse and harassment directed at college basketball and football players on social media is connected to sports betting. On Venmo, most of the harassment comes in the form of requests for payment from gamblers who lost a bet related to the athlete, according to an NCAA official.

"We have heard of solicitation of insider information as well."
