Colt player suspended for season, possibly Rodgers

[ChoppedWood]

JMV was reporting that the word is- it is a player with a name casual fans will recognize, but it not a "star". Doubt that means Pittman- and sure AF hope not. I don't think he is every going to be an NFL definition of a 1, but he is our 1 and has the tools a guy like Richardson can surely use in his early development.

JMV also said the report is "hundreds of bets" including a lot on Colts games. Done for 4 sure if so.

We'll see how good his sources are:

Sources have told me that the Colts player under investigation for multiple gambling infractions is CB Isaiah Rodgers Sr.

If it was a fake account, it’s one more reason to spit on Elon Musk as he drives by in the Tesla truck, which seems to have a lot in common with nuclear fusion…it’s forever two years away from being ready.

Look at this link, picture of the tweet from fake Schefter account. You can tell by the @adamschefterre misspelling.

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.

Shane Steichen addresses the "gambling issue" at the start of his press conference.

Notes it's an ongoing investigation.

Players are being educated on the rules and NFL reps are in the building this week making their annual presentation.

Rodgers was not on the field today, but Steichen deflected a question about Rodgers' availability with team by saying again that it's an ongoing investigation.

Steichen: "I think any time something like this comes up, you've gotta push it aside and move on."

Adds players have handed it well so far.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He bet on the Colts, from the Colts facility and tried to hide it with a phony account. Just the first two are enough to get you a permanent ban. He is a late round pick who might have worked his way into the starting lineup of a very suspect back field. He is done in pro football. Time to move on, it isn't that big of a loss for us. For him it is huge. Consequences suck.

Really ??? Of all of the people that the NFL could have asked for help on this subject, they chose Tom Brady, who along with Bill Belichick was caught red-handed several times for spying on other teams' practices, and then again later on for deflating footballs ???


This is the quint-essential example of the blind leading the blind ...... l "Listen guys, cheating repeatedly isn't so bad, but please, please, PLEASE, by any means necessary, don't gamble on football games !!!"



It reminds of of when Bob Goldthwaite slammed Bruce Willis for doing a Seagram's Wine Coolers commercial, and then turning around and also doing a "Don't Take Drugs" commercial ...... l "Don't take drugs ...... but if you do take drugs, wash them down with some wine coolers."
