McDonnell explains that it’s not so much that match fixing has increased but rather the sportsbooks and the leagues have enough rules and regulations in place that it’s very hard to “fix” a match without it being discovered through the proper channels.

We also discussed Sir Alex Ferguson’s excellent managerial skills in guiding less than typically talented Man United Team to another presumptive title. We also looked at David Beckham’s years in the MLS and whether it will have a lasting effect on the beautiful game in North America.

Our Intern was delivering the mail this week, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the clip.
