just wow, unbelievable

Betting on games *after he left the team* last year. Just to be clear.

 

[bears26]

I bet the NFL makes an example of him. His career may be in jeopardy.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

He bet the over on yards for his brother this season. ?

 

[BPo001]

Sign him? Kidding aside that sucks, but he should have known better. Does he get the Pete Rose ban?

 

[didshereallysaythat]

There goes his HOF chances.

Did we not learn anything about betting here!?

 

[dweebs19]

so he left and then bet on games...what's the issue? I also doubt that he's the only player gambling. Isn't the NFL in business with gambling sites?

I agree with the NFL on this one.

This really can't be tolerated at all.

 

[Omeletpants]

Clown was already on suspension

 

[remydat]

That is a bit bullshit. NFL goes out of its way to encourage gambling and fantasy but suspend a guy for betting 1500 while no longer playing.

 

[iueyedoc]

He should get a lifetime ban for stupidity.

Lmao. I totally read this wrong the first go around. Thought he was betting he didn’t have a gambling problem. Haha

Yeah like I'm not sure what he did wrong?

Damnit, LOL.

You can't do it. It is a pretty big No, No. You can't allow it. You give one player the benefit of doubt, then others will follow and that is when betting can start to influence games (something no one wants to happen).

They take this shit seriously with those involved in sports not betting on it and have for a century.

Did you know that ESPN employees can not even participate in things like the March Madness tournament?

Stupidity must run in the Ridley family, nice job Mr. & Mrs. Ridley of raising your sons.
