NFL stars tee off in Pro-Am Golf Tournament in South Mississippi

SUMMARY: Super Bowl weekend kicked off at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis with a pro-am golf tournament featuring 17 professional football players, including Saints legend Ricky Jackson and 12 Hall of Famers. This event sparked a long-standing debate about which team had the better linebacking corps: the Giants’ “Big Blue Wrecking Crew” or the Saints’ “Dome Patrol.” Jackson jokingly noted the Giants’ Super Bowl wins as the differentiator. The tournament also included football icons like Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk, Bruce Smith, and Joe Horn. Excitement for Super Bowl weekend permeated both New Orleans and the Mississippi Coast.

Sports Betting in Mississippi

SUMMARY: Mississippi is moving closer to legalizing mobile sports betting after the House passed a supportive bill. Currently, residents can only place bets at casinos, but this legislation could change that, particularly ahead of the Super Bowl, one of the most heavily wagered events globally. While mobile betting won’t be ready in time for this year’s game, there’s significant demand, with nearly 9 million attempts to access mobile sportsbooks noted. If approved, the bill could generate millions in annual revenue for the state, thanks to a proposed 12% tax on mobile bets, benefiting all 82 counties.
