Interesting. One recent rumor I heard is apple wanted to include Sunday ticket for free with the price of Apple TV+, but got hit with the big no.

Edit: might be mistaken this for red zone not Sunday ticker which are very different obviously.

Edit edit: it was Sunday ticket and they did want to include it for $6.99 a month and have no blackouts. The league was not being as flexible as apple wanted so the went from front runner to bowing out.

Imagine everyone having Sunday ticket for $7 a month. Lol nfl.

from the espn article, Austin also had been making online bets while at the teamā€™s facility.

yeah, he is

Donā€™t bet on sports if you work in the NFL, itā€™s not that hard to understand regardless of your feelings about it and LOL at doing it in the team facility. Thatā€™s just stupid

The issue is the length of the suspension imo. To suspend them for longer than you would Deshaun Watson is just stupid.

Even then itā€™s dumb. Thereā€™s no real reason a player canā€™t bet on other sports or on their own team to win. There is no harm to game integrity, itā€™s all optics based. But if you want to have rules against it fine. Just donā€™t make the punishments for minor infractions harsher than you give rapists and steroid users.

Bolded is wrong. There are definitely reasons.

First of all, there is the whole insider info angle. Your stud RB is listed as doubtful, but you know for a fact that he is going to play. Canā€™t have that.

But even if we set that aside it is still potentially problematic. For example, if a player has significant money on the line, they might try to play injured, which would risk further injury and risk winning future games (games you care less about because you havenā€™t bet on them). With no money on the line for a particular game, you can weigh winning current game vs jeopardizing future wins appropriately.

I feel like we need to have the bizarro Bellichick vs Brady debate.

Who is more responsible for Broncos sucking: Hackett or Wilson?
