For the record the Conyers's bill like most bills introduced by a minority congressman went nowhere fast. What little chance it had, if any, ended when the NFL lockout ended.
I do not know what the NFL will actually do, only what they say. They do not have history of bluffing. They are ardent that LA put up a good hunk money for a stadium there. LA has refused, so no team there. I don't think it matters any way because the feds will shut it down as soon as it opens anyway. It is against federal law and even the the federal law is struck down by the courts, a new one would passed in record time. You would not have take off your shoes to count the number of congressman and senators who think that allowing betting on the NFL outside of Nevada is the way to go.
Again for the record, I would like to see betting on the NFL, etc, allowed outside of Nevada, but I just don't see it happening.
