OK, so this guy was due to earn $11M this season. That went *POOF* for making supposedly $1500 in bets on football games. I guess they don't teach math in Tuscaloosa?

Pete Rose was kicked out permanently for doing that.

Why is he getting lite treatment?

And ‘LOL’ing about it?

I read an interesting book “Slow Getting Up” by an NFL guy who was a special teams player on the margin and typically with a different team each year.
They would have groups that take 15 grand each in cash (this was years ago) go to Vegas and drink and gamble until they were out of dough and go home.

Any guesses on how much the suspension will be reduced once the media and the race baiters harp on Ridley being black and unfairly singled out?

Why suspend him? It’s not like he was running an illegal dogfighting ring.

As far as I know he has not killed multiple people with a knife. Lets keep things in perspective. We are talking about an NFL football player. /s

They actually do, you just need to be in class to learn it.

If he had only murdered someone he would be fine.

And what if a player decides to bet ONE PENNY on a game and offers it up to any player on any team? Try a player who is a close to retirement.
