By the way, did you know at Greenbrier, and it's interesting, you know, and my connection to Greenbrier is that, you know, they have a casino there.
So they once wanted me to come in to play at their casino. But since then, and I never did, I've never been on the property, they have a sports book there.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:18)
Really?

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
They have a FanDuel sports book on the property there. Interesting that the NFL would allow one of its teams to actually live on the property and practice where there's a sports book.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:33)
That is interesting. Right? Hopefully nobody did anything dumb.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
We have a team in Las Vegas, so you know it's moot.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:39)
That's a good point.

**Craig Carton** (0:39)
But it's interesting that the Giants chose a resort where after practice, the guys can walk into a room and bet on sports. This seems a little awkward.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:51)
It does.

**Craig Carton** (0:52)
Does it not?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:52)
No, it does. But, I mean, look, they can go, they don't need a sports book. They have it on their phones.

**Craig Carton** (0:59)
I'm just pointing out some of the most people didn't know.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
I get it. That's true.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
That's all. Yes, they can do it on the phones. And by the way, NFL players are allowed to wager on anything other than the NFL. But there's a little caveat to that.
NFL employees, not the players, everybody else is forbidden from gambling on any sport and you cannot gamble on team property.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:27)
Right.

**Craig Carton** (1:27)
So, in other words, if you're a secretary, if you're a trainer, that's what I'm asking.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
It kind of does, doesn't it?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:37)
Interesting. They're having meetings in there.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
Like if you're an assistant coach on the Giants, you are not allowed to take your phone out in the parking lot at the Giants facility and wager on tennis.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:49)
Right.

**Craig Carton** (1:50)
You're allowed to wager on tennis from home. You cannot do it on Giants property.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:56)
My guess is the Giants hopefully were smart enough to clear that up before they went.

**Craig Carton** (2:00)
You would think so, but they also have an owner that wasn't smart enough to avoid Jeffrey Epstein.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (2:04)
So who knows how smart they are?
I would like to think they probably told the players at least and the majority of employees, listen, there's going to be downtime while we're here. And yes, there's a full fledged casino on this property, not a big one, but there's 31 table games. Okay, there's roulette, there's mini baccarat.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:29)
This place is sounding more and more like a little getaway for you and the family. Getaway weekend.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
Yeah, like I said, I've never been. But I didn't go because we were negotiating what my limits would be.
And they didn't want my limits to be what I wanted them to be. So to me, as an eagle maniac with gambling, if I couldn't wager the amounts I wanted to wager, it wasn't worth my time to go there. And that's why I never went there. Yeah, sure, it's a lovely place, though.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:58)
Looks great.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
Yeah, it's gorgeous.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:00)
I mean, the rooms are very green, though.

**Craig Carton** (3:01)
Would you be comfortable staying in a place that you knew was a plantation back in the day? Would that be a weird kind of, from a historical standpoint?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:11)
I don't think so. I don't know. You'd probably stay in there, right? I think we've...

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
To each their own.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:16)
To each their own. I could understand. I wouldn't argue with anyone who would have a problem with it.

**Craig Carton** (3:21)
Yeah, but I don't think they flaunt it or...

**SPEAKER_3** (3:24)
I don't think they have like...

**Chris McMonigle** (3:24)
It's part of the history of the building. It's part of the history of this country.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:28)
Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:28)
It's part of the history. I was just asking. And we can't run from it at every turn. No.

**Craig Carton** (3:33)
Which means next summer, I know where you're going for three days.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:39)
What else do they have there? They have shuffleboard?

**Craig Carton** (3:42)
Do they got everything? No. Bocce? It is a full service resort. Kids, adults, they got everything. They got bars, they got games, they got, you name it, they got it there.
