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).

Here’s this week’s β€œGet a Grip,” rounding up top stories in sports betting 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.


Most Interesting, Important Sports Betting, Gaming and Sports Stories of the Week:

Let’s start with the biggest news of the week then dive into the rest:

New Jersey Assembly and Senate pass sports betting bill unanimously – Measure headed to the governor for his signature; note – @goldennuggetac can participatehttps://t.co/6YMITRd1am @sports_handle pic.twitter.com/A7jhyrm4sa

— Howard Stutz (@howardstutz) June 7, 2018

Yet Governor Phil Murphy is taking his time:

On sports betting bill, Murphy says he does not have a time table.

β€œWe’re not sitting on it,” he said, β€œbut we just got it.”

He said the bill needs to be reviewed and wants to be careful and do β€œthe right thing.”

Absolutely dead-bolt lock the Leagues are lobbying Murphy to β€œconditionally veto” the bill so that an integrity fee can be added. Maybe you should start calling the NJ gov’s office to object to that https://t.co/oJgjYQjow1

— Joe Brennan Jr (@joebrennanjr) June 8, 2018

Can't imagine a 1st term NJ gov wants to be remembered as the guy who wanted to hand the Leagues a fat check, only to have his veto overridden by a legislature controlled by his own party, but hey…"New Jersey" https://t.co/567SyPha3G
