Good news.

My first reaction is: if this is adopted as proposed, the NFL has a very tough decision whether to opt out or not. Despite their apparent interest in prohibiting internet gambling, it clearly is NOT in their financial interest to do so.

As far as poker goes, if this is adopted, I think we can expect a second explosion of popularity, lower rakes, more security, better games and lots of people moving out of states that elect to prohibit it.

Actually, it seems to me, that the NFL could use this to setup their own gaming on their own site, and then opt-out of allowing everyone else to take bets on their games.

Sounds like a grand slam for them, to me.

That's probably what will sell this thing all the way to a Bush veto. NFL campaign contributions will keep every congressman who votes for this thing in office for as long as they want to be in office.
