Hadn't seen the Grenig piece until after we were off the air... Will touch on it tonight but likely not get into any guests until next week. Much tougher to react to this kind of thing when doing show on the road like this. I would only want reaction from parties directly involved or affected by this meaning Matties, Curtis Linnell or someone like him from TRPB, and NYRA.

While this particular situation seems at first glance, (and without complete details of the scenario involved), to be unfair to the Matties family, I also think it is a mistake to use the incident as an opportunity to roundly criticize the attempts of TRPB to police the game. Comments that say the game has a tarnished image and actions like this make it worse seem incongruent. Unless you want state/federal government interfearing in the management of the game even more, the work of TRPB and ARCI needs to be supported. The same people carrying on about 'past posting' would do well to more widely support the work of TRPB/ARCI. They're the ones working hardest to 'get it right'.
