They haven't been doing it for years. Just about a week and a half. In the past they have mentioned it, but it hasn't been the focus of every single talking head on the entire channel.
I am not kidding. In the last 7 days, of about 3-7 hours per day (it is on in the background while I work), not one person has mentioned "The Steelers will beat the Rams". Every single mention has talked about the spread. Now, when they say "I am taking the Rams", they don't mean that the Rams will win, but that the Rams will cover the spread. I thought this channel was about sports, you know, wins and losses. But they haven't talked about that at all. They have _only_ talked about the betting spread. And It isn't just one show, it is all of them. It wasn't this way 3 weeks ago. So there has been a concerted and organized shift in coverage. An editorial change. (Or maybe an FCC change that released them, but even that reason would still require an editorial change) I don't mind them mentioning the spread and betting, and as you said, they have talked about it for years, but to concentrate on that and only that seems crazy. It should be renamed "the betting channel". I wouldn't have noticed it, except that it is so blatant and purposeful.
