Casey Hayward?

I doubt it. Calvin Ridley was suspended from the Falcons for the entire '22 season bc he bet and bet on his own team.

Not to say Rogers isn't done w the Colts.

He was betting in the facility. Ridley was away from the team.

Did Ridley bet on the Falcons? I was under the impression he never bet on his own team, though I could be wrong.

At any rate, Jim needs to get old Jerruh on the phone and see if we can still nullify that Gilmore trade.

I'm always left in awe when I see guys throw their career away, especially ones that are halfway competent.

Its a case of someone own ego overloading their survival instinct.

Whats the average career length in the NFL? Google search says 3 years. Less if you are a dumbfuck.

I’m BETTING there are signs all over professional sports locker rooms informing all team employees about gambling. I would cut him him for 2 reasons. I cant trust him and he is stupid.

I will be shocked if he doesnt get a season long ban. The only way the NFL can prevent betting by players is making them former players.

It will be interesting to see if Ballard signs a veteran. This is such a young group that a veteran, one willing to help these guys learn how to be a pro, could be a big addition. If Ballard sees this as more of a rebuild year then maybe he lets the young guys get experience. I'm hoping we sign someone.

This guy just completed the minimum time in order to qualify for an NFL pension (3 years) ...... however, the more years that you play in the NFL, your pension gets larger.

It's insane that he would compromise/jeopardize that when the vast majority of Americans don't have that luxury (a pension) when they retire.



As a fan, I forgive the guy, and I would not mind seeing him return to play for the Colts after serving a one-year suspension ...... but man, this is a quintessential example of being young and stupid.

All of that said, at least he had the brains to immediately confess to what he did when confronted about it, and not do a Pete Rose act of continually denying it and lying about it ...... admit that you made a mistake, throw yourself at the mercy of the court (the NFL commissioner and its league officials), and be grateful that they will very likely allow you to play again after missing one full year.
