Ping!.................
Interesting though because if it was gambling or especially PEDs, you would think the league would handle the punishment. I can see a team trying to pre-emptively get a head of it, mostly to avert the team itself getting penalized, but this seems like a unusual move. Must be pretty bad.
wont make a difference Colts wont beat any playoff team, especially the Fins.
Makes me want to root for the Colts. Weren't they Tony Dungee's team?
As much as this league is promoting gambling, they should hold the mirror to their own faces. Quite honestly, if a player is gambling on his own team to win a game, I really don’t have a problem with that. If he’s betting on a game he’s not involved with, I don’t see the problem either.
Good riddance to bad garbage. I stopped watching NFL after the league and the owners refused to discipline the commie/pinko/black supremists who kneeled during the national anthem. Now, every time the NFL takes a shot, I cheer.
I remember when that happened.................
Yes.....................
And states legalizing gambling. It should be tightly regulated in Vegas and Atlantic City and Indian Reservations. That's it.
They used the wrong pronouns.
Such levels of secrecy and punishment always relate to something that will affect the team.
If I had to guess, its something having to do with wives/girlfriends of other players
Or domestic abuse, just like Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.
I applaud the Colts for making the tough, but correct, decision. They have done well considering they have been playing with their backup QB most of the season and coming off a horrible season last year.
Colts also cut two other players in the preseason for gambling.
If it was domestic abuse, there would be a police report to contend with.................
“if a player is gambling on his own team to win a game, I really don’t have a problem with that”
Gonna have to respectfully disagree with that my friend.
If gambling on games was about winning and losing straight up yes but it’s not, it’s about point spread, which could possibly be manipulated by a player that needed a particular final score.
Having said that, I wouldn’t be surprised if players gambling on games isn’t far more widespread than we know.....and I doubt it’s limited to just football either.
Agree as well. A fair amount of shenanigans go on towards the ends of already-decided games, during “garbage time”. How much manipulation to beat the spread is happening? Unknown.
” I stopped watching NFL after the league and the owners refused to discipline the commie/pinko/black supremists who kneeled during the national anthem”
Me as well! F the NFL!
