hiding your players injuries for multiple days has to get taken out of the modern nfl. Jordan Mason revealed he knew that he was starting and that cmc wasn’t playing on friday.
the NFL cant be doing that shit when they have fully embraced sports betting with open arms.
they need to revamp those rules and do maybe a full day or something and then back that up with HUGE 7-8 digit fines for shit like this.
I thought that was a big no no, beat writers going along with it sucks too. Cant believe that didn’t leak.
Devil’s advocate: is it that big a deal even with gambling considerations? He was listed as Q, known to have an injury through training camp. Lines were set, wagers placed, and DFS lineups set with that info publicly available. If CMC wakes up Monday feeling no issues, do they still deactivate him?
A bettor uncomfortable with the uncertainty can wait for the inactives report if they’d like. And any CMC bets/legs were voided.
IMO the major gambling considerations are insiders using the info, not the general public.
I do find it funny though that they might have gotten got simply because a rookie had the game of his life and was just being honest in a post game interview.
if the sports leagues weren’t accepting gambling with open arms i would agree with you. but if you are going to go all in on accepting gambling and making official gambling sponsors then you need to run your industry with clean optics. a team knowingly lying as a form of gamesmanship isn’t ok in a world where you are encouraging your fans to bet on outcomes. the leagues need to figure this out sooner rather than later. it seems like they just saw dollar signs and went in blindly.
you erode public trust by allowing things to stay opaque.
i say this as someone who has never sports bet and as someone who has no real interest in fantasy football.
That seems like a weird number to hit unless you scored 119 and it was a rollover. I don’t think I ever eclipsed 110 though. Just getting to 100 required some planning and near perfect execution, but was fun as hell.
The thing with injuries is that every NFL player has some sort of injury all the time. Unless it’s the type of injury that puts their game status in question, does it need to be disclosed? Didn’t Brady play an entire season with a torn MCL and they just never mentioned it because there was never a question of whether that injury would hold him out of a game.
I remember back in the days of “probable, questionable, doubtful, out” there were a few coaches that would list their entire roster as probable under this system. There’s no great way to do it, as every injury is unique, but I think just some system where anyone whose gameday status is in question due to an injury should be listed. Injuries that guys are just going to play through don’t need to be. The last thing you want is guys taking cheap shots at a dudes knee because they know it’s not 100%.
People in Texas use yards per second as a measurement of speed?
That translates to an 8 second 40 time.
I guess the pads really slow you down.
The QB was also running towards him. I have absolutely no idea if that is impressive or not.
Yes. It’s abbreviated typs. Texas Yard Per Second.

and ofcourse when the gambling site gets caught by the injury news they just unilaterally change the odds on already placed bets and say “whoops computer error!!1!”
it’s a shitty house of cards that needs to be better regulated.
Deliberately lying about your best players injury is really bad and they should get hit with some stupid fine like $25 million or something to deter everyone else.
If there’s information asymmetry it’s a problem in my opinion
Literally the most important objective of any defensive player is to inflict injury on their opponent. They are trained for it, coached to do it, and are always looking to inflict damage. Accumulating damage on an opponent is the name of the game.
bet365 was blacklisted back in the day on 2+2 and by pro gamblers as they explicitly do not live up to their terms and conditions and only want losing recreational gamblers.
To an extent, I agree. Hard hits are part of the game. Intentionally injuring a guy by targeting a body part that you know is problematic, or delivering a hit in a way that is designed to cause injury at the expense of making the play, I think there are some lines drawn there. It’s why Sean Payton got a 1 year ban that should’ve been a perma IMO.
Isn’t this most offshore sportsbooks? And even the legal ones limit you right?
it’s 3 TD’s against that one fuckin play on xp where the kick gets blocked, my buddy used to get it all the time but I usually managed 1 xp
