Some of these players are just dumb as hell. Did he not think he was going to get caught?

I would have thought it would be a 2,8 and 3 game parlay but what do I know.

Damn, what a fuging idiot.  And here we are, in a spot in time where we are to take mental health crises seriously, and supposedly, Ridley has been regarded as a very high character guy, and dude stepped away under the guise of mental health crisis and he is down at Hard Rock being a dumbass, gambling through a mainstream sports book that is guaranteed to get him suspended or banned from the league.

 

Wtf?

He's lucky he didn't receive a permanent ban.

And this is the response of someone who the closest they ever got to a football field is playing skin flute in the band. I heard the speech every year for 5 seasons from Bobby Wallace, Pat Dye, and Terry Bowden. First meeting every summer. Don’t bet on football. Period. There is no path back from it. Every NFL player will tell you the same thing. 
 

 But I’m sure you know better with your Pro and College experience. It’s the difference between people that know, and people who think they know. Want to guess which one you are? 

And look at you now! LMAO!

The NFL rule betting on Football: All NFL Personnel are prohibited from placing, soliciting, or facilitating any bet, whether directly or indirectly through a third-party, on any NFL game, practice or other event.

 

 

If the NFL want to assure the rule is enforced they have to have a severe penalty for its violation and that is exactly what they did  in Calvin Ridleys case.

 

("Falcons' Ridley banned for season and forfeits $11m salary after betting on NFL games. The NFL has banned Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley for the entire 2022 season – and possibly longer – for betting on games. The suspension means he will forfeit his $11.1m salary for 2022.")

Retired before 50 and own a business I got multiple offers over 100M for in the past 6 months. How horrible it is to be me. Sorry it doesn’t compare fo your stock boy position at Walmart. I made more betting on under Win total for the Panthers than you did working.

I get a real kick out of people who brag about a bunch of unverifiable nonsense on anonymous message boards. Thanks for the laugh.

It’s a harsh penalty because it needs to be to keep the integrity of the game. It’s that slippery slope. Can you bet on other teams where you have insider info because you have friends and know who’s actually hurt? Can you bet on your own team if not playing since you are hurt? The NFL just doesn’t want to have to create rules and worry about insider info so they bring out the ban hammer so the rest of the players don’t think twice.

I get it,  it's just hard to preach about the NFL protecting the integrity of the game when they themselves don't.

He and that Persian prince of a guy should have a "I'm better than you" contest on here.
