Huge Bettorsworld Announcement!!!

[Jeff]

Several years ago on the street in New York City, a guy roughed up Dan Rather and while doing so kept repeating "what's the frequency Kenneth?"

That's what Gary Gilmore was referring to in his post......

Gary Gilmore by the way, was executed via firing squad back in 1977 in Utah......

Ok, no more history lessons kids..........

[Te tutava nei matou]

let's do it!!!

[FIREBALL XL5]

What is the big announcement already? I can't stand it

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!!!

[Blowfish]

I think we know....Dan Rather is going to be promoting Bettorsworld on either TV or the radio.....and Gary Gilmore is posting from the beyond after being shot in front of a firing squad in 1977.

Now the question is...what did Gary Gilmore do?

[speedy gonzales]

GARY GILMORE

LOVED TO KILL MORE

THEN HE BLEW IT

SAID, ''LET'S DO IT!''

THEN THEY GOT HIM

THEN THEY SHOT HIM.

[The Prophet]

The dust up with Rather begat the R.E.M. song "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

And despite Jeff's claims that there will be no more history lessons, here's another one. The reason that Utah still has the firing squad as a method of execution? Anyone? Buhler? Buhler?

It's because the Mormon church is big on the concept of "blood atonement" and attempts to remove it as an option for execution have always met with opposition from conservative legislators and, depending on whom you believe, the Mormon church itself.

Despite its somewhat remote location, Utah has had at least one other brush with a high profile serial killer--Ted Bundy spent some time in the Beehive State. There's a song on the Jane's Addiction album "Nothing Shocking" called "Ted, Just Admit It" that samples from Bundy himself talking about "bodies turning up in canyons and people getting shot in Salt Lake City...."

ah, one more history lesson. in Utah you have a chioce between hang me or shot me. just a side note. some place out west they hanged a train robber and snapped his head off. seems he got fat on jail food and they did'nt figure the weight gain when they set the rope.

[Te tutava nei matou]

these forms of execution are currently used in at least one state of the usa:

hanging

firing squad

electric chair

lethal injection

gas chamber

[Blowfish]

What? No stonings or beheadings? What kind of country is this.....

[Gun Moll]

In Saudi Arabia they regularly have beheadings in the public square

I'd like to get in there with a video camera and get footage of some rapist getting his head chopped off

Bet I could get big bucks from cable TV for that

BETTORSWORLD COMING TO A RADIO NEAR YOU
  Written by: Raj Vishnu
Bettorsworld, the top sports betting info Web site in the world, is advancing to the next level.
Bettorsworld co-owner Brian Georgia announced today that Bettorsworld will have its own weekly, nationally-syndicated radio show, starting in September.
"The Bettorsworld Show" will be co-hosted by Georgia and former Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Fred Wallin and will be heard live every Sunday night on approximately 50 radio stations across America, as well as on the Internet.
The 30-minute show will have lively discussion about sports, gambling and the offshore industry, and will feature guests from those realms, as well as phone calls from listeners.
The show can be heard from 11:30 p.m. to midnight in the Eastern Time Zone, from 10:30-11 p.m. in the Central Time Zone, from 9:30-10 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone, from 8:30-9 p.m. in the Pacific Time Zone and from 5:30-6 p.m. in Alaska and Hawaii.
"We come on right after the Sunday Night Football game ends, so the timing is perfect," Georgia said. "Everyone who was watching or listening to the game and following their bet can then switch over to 'The Bettorsworld Show' and listen to us. We'll be the first show in the nation each week to discuss the next week's games and have the betting lines for those games."
"The Bettorsworld Show" will be much more than the typical-type program featuring handicappers making picks on games, Georgia said.
"We'll discuss the week's football games but we're also going to talk about sports in general, gambling in general, the offshore industry, Las Vegas and more," Georgia said.
The show will also feature contests, such as listeners calling in to answer sports trivia questions to win free betting accounts at an offshore sportsbook, Georgia said.
Los Angeles sportscaster Fred Wallin, who has been a radio broadcaster for over 30 years, will co-host the show with Brian Georgia.
Wallin, an expert on gambling, is a former Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Kings announcer who has hosted numerous national radio programs over the past 30 years.
"We'll be the only nationally-syndicated radio program in the country that will be discussing, on a weekly basis, the issues surrounding the gambling and sports betting industries," Wallin said.
The sponsor for "The Bettorsworld Show" is First Fidelity, a top-notch sportsbook located in Costa Rica, and one of the best and largest sportsbooks in the world.
The first airing of "The Bettorsworld Show" will be Sunday, September 1.
At present, the following radio stations are slated to carry "The Bettorsworld Show," although more stations are scheduled to be added to the list by September:
