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?
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.
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.
When the NFL ‘wasn’t’ associated with gambling and ‘pretended’ that gambling and spreads were myths, not to be spoken of when the NFL was talked about by sportscasters... Everybody knew then that certain refs, players and even some coaches could ‘possibly’ be on the take and throwing games. But the NFL was strictly against spreads and betting, and that stance made it seem like the NFL was aboveboard and safe enough for gambling addicts like me to trust.
Now that they’re in bed with gambling... I just assume that every NFL game is on the take in some fashion or another... There have been at least 3 useless field-goals kicked this year that ended up changing the spread and costing gamblers tens of millions of dollars. Then there are the refs calls on the field... A referee can call ‘holding’ on pretty much every play in the NFL, and pass interference??? The subjectiveness is obscene, especially at crucial junctures in a game.
The NFL made $18.6 billion in 2022... The ‘legal’ and illegal gambling industry made ten times that much on NFL betting.
NFL Players are being watched like hawks and several have already been suspended for gambling... And more will be suspended in the future.
The big question is... Who’s watching the owners, the coaches, the refs, etc.? None of them have been suspended to date. Does the NFL actually expect it’s fans to believe that not one of them has ever gambled on the NFL, gamble on their own teams, or thrown a game here or there?
When the NFL wasn’t in bed with the gambling industry, I was more than happy to ‘pretend’ like they did, that gambling didn’t effect the outcome of NFL games. Now the NFL and other professional sporting leagues practically own the gambling industry... I have some very serious doubts.
Not if NFL games are prearranged.
They don't want players gambling on their own and screwing up results that are already on a list locked in the Commissioner's desk.
