Tune into any NFL broadcast or even click on any league-related link, and it is very noticeable that the NFL is immersed, to say the least, up to its armpits in

a high-stakes and extremely complicated relationship with the more than billion-dollar-a-year gambling industry.

Commissioner Roger Goodell has expressed with a passion his visions of a league which can gross over $25 billion annually by 2027, and the sponsorships, advertising dollars and other benefits afforded by a tie-in to a vast growing sports wagering industry apparently will afford a generous share in reaching that goal.

Despite off-season OTA and training camp sit-down Q&A's with league and NFLPA officials, questions still abound. Goodell obviously was forewarned that these questions were coming, and after the appropriate pause that suggested some deep thought, the commissioner responded, “Well, Mike, it’s one of the reasons we oppose legalized sports betting, because of the risk to the integrity of the game.”
