Legal sports betting in Texas? Odds are slim, for now

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:41:34 GMT

AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- As fans across Texas sit down for the Longhorns' first-ever College Football Playoff appearance on Monday, untold fortunes in illegal bets will undoubtedly leave Texas wallets for out-of-state sportsbooks. Yet the odds of Texas legalizing gaming any time soon are slim-to-none, after an unprecedented push by casinos and sportsbooks failed to gain traction in this year's legislative session.After a multimillion dollar lobbying push from powerful casino interests like the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the Texas legislature made more inroads towards sports betting than ever before. In May, the Texas House passed a bill to legalize sports betting for the first time -- but all measures failed to become law."Maybe it'll happen in 2025. Maybe, as we get closer to the session, the momentum will start building. But from where I sit right now, I just I don't see it," regulatory writer for XLMedia Robert Linnehan said.Stopped in the SenateThere's one state leader who observer...

WATCH: Deer vandalizes light-up deer decoration in northwest Austin

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:41:34 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The deer in the Great Hills area of Austin are beefing with an unexpected foe. A doorbell video from KXAN viewer David Kulczar captured a real-life deer pushing over a deer light decoration in his front yard. Kulczar told us over ReportIt! the deer have been knocking over the yard decorations for a few weeks now. It's a level of shade and rivalry that hasn't been seen since "Mean Girls" or Texas-Oklahoma games. According to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, two main types of deer call the Lone Star State home. Most of the deer you'll find are white-tailed deer, with the mule deer population being much lower and found in the western part of the state. Do you have a fun animal video you'd like to share?

The Twins made their first offseason addition to the major league roster on Wednesday, agreeing to a one-year deal with relief pitcher Josh Staumont.The 30-year-old right-hander comes to the Twins after having season-ending surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome over the summer, a procedure that major league pitchers have had mixed results coming back from.Prior to that, Staumont had a 5.40 earned-run average in 21 games for the Kansas City Royals. His season ended in June when he landed on the injured list with what was described as a neck strain at the time. In November, the Royals designated the once-shutdown reliever for assignment.While Staumont had a difficult 2022 and 2023 seasons, he was once one of the best relievers in the game earlier in his career, posting a 2.45 ERA across 26 innings in 2020 while striking out 13 batters per nine innings.A year later, in 2021, he had a 2.88 ERA in 65 2/3 innings, lowering his WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) to 1.066 and converti...

Gophers football: Five positions in transition and where U will keep looking in transfer portal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:41:34 GMT

P.J. Fleck isn’t a busker on the street corner, but he’s recently been banging on three metaphorical buckets, hoping to make a rhythmic beat.Fleck points to three areas for roster development in modern college football: retention of current players, influx of high school recruits and additions via the NCAA transfer portal.“We’ve got to do a really good job of bringing people in that can make us better and retaining the best players and the best coaches,” the Gophers head coach told the Pioneer Press before Minnesota’s 30-24 win over Bowling Green in Tuesday’s Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit.Going into next season, the Gophers, thus far, have retained 15 of 16 returning starters, with starting quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis the only departure via the portal. The U was going to bring in competition at that position — whether Kaliakmanis was going to stay or not.Minnesota will say goodbye to only six senior starters, a group headlined by All-America safety Tyler Nubin, anch...
