That was amid this FBI investigation into these allegations of fixed games during the 78 Ram season.

Yeah, he dies two months before Vic.

It's very suspicious.

Our friend Howard Cosell was very close with Carol Rosenblum.

He thought it was suspicious.

And yeah, there was an FBI investigation into the point fixing.

And before they got a chance to talk to Carol Rosenblum or Vic, they were both gone.

So the other timeline that is, again, not accounted for in winning time, and it's not part of the NBA college basketball narrative, is that, yeah, the Lakers job, cool, that's over here.

But meanwhile, there's an FBI investigation in which Vic Weiss would be a central figure

possible witness for the government.

And both Carol Rosenblum and Vic Weiss both mysteriously, suspiciously get killed within two months of each other.

And so, Detective Leroy Orozco, is this the theory that he finally lands on?

Like, this explains why Vic Weiss wound up in the trunk of that car.

No, I mean, there's still yet another theory to this.

Because, of course, there is.

At this point in the story, as we are retracing the steps of Detective Leroy Roscoe's investigation into Vic Wiese's murder, it is worth remembering that looks can be deceiving.

Leroy doesn't think that Vic Wiese was killed by the mob because of gambling debts and fixed fights, despite all appearances.

And Leroy also doesn't think that it was simply because Vic had been skimming money as a bag man for mysteriously deceased and mob-connected Rams owner, Carol Rosenblum.

In fact, Leroy had other questions here about how flashy Vic Weiss was able to hobnob with all these teams and celebrities from Muhammad Ali to Redd Foxx and even drive that maroon and white Rolls Royce where his corpse would ultimately be found.

Which takes us to yet another classic Vegas sort of establishment from the 1970s, a car dealership.
