It’s information overload everywhere, and there’s not time enough to sleep and eat and stay fully apprised of what’s happening on this crazy blue dot of ours (two out of three ain’t bad).

And so we’re beginning a new weeklyΒ Sports HandleΒ item, β€œGet a Grip,” rounding up top stories inΒ sports bettingΒ and gaming, and the world of sports at large. You may have missed them, and they are worth reading. This is meant to be brief, so that’s it.

Tweets of the Week (That May Have Nothing to do With Sports):
