Why should the NFL look into betting on something that is so off the field of play??? That article just points out how stupid it is that all professional sports have betting so integrated into them. Seriously- there's money being made on the idea if a person comes out of retirement??? And there's concern over insider trading?

Nothing should be done. Of course someone had inside information. Vegas sportsbooks have operated off of inside information from the beginning. It's not illegal, it's due diligence.

No one insisted that the books set the Super Bowl prop bets in February. You think they are going to refund the bet to someone who bets on Green Bay to win the Super Bowl, only to see Rodgers retire or go somewhere else?

Heck, a couple of years ago I made nice money betting that Tampa would win the Super Bowl at about 35-1, on the outside chance that Tampa would get Brady. I made the same bet on San Diego that year, and that paid squat, but I didn't see any refunds coming my way.

The books can do what they've always had the right to do. Refuse to take bets from people they thing are sharps.

As usual you're not addressing the actual elephant in the room, which ffs I'm not going to bother pointing out to you.
 
Sports got into bed with gambling formally and this stuff will just grow and grow. They don't care. It's $$$.

Maybe we are growing out of sports as a culture. That would be a net win.

Don't take away my college hockey. While I fully recognize it's not altogether "pure" it's about as close as it gets for anything post-high school.

I don't want to lose mine either. I assume sports has enough momentum to last through my lifetime (low bar), likely beyond the lifetime of anyone alive today. But there was a time before it, so...

Well, my point, which I will type for you again, but slower this time, was to respond to the article linked, and the demand/suggestion contained therein, made by the Westgate Superbook that the NFL investigate the possibility of inside information available regarding Tom Brady's un-retirement prior to it being made known publicly. The book can go suck an egg, in my opinion. They've been trading on inside information for years, and now it's biting them in the azz.

I really don't care what you fantasize the point to be.
 
Is the Pats org just that toxic?

Leonard Fournette spent yesterday with the Patriots' organization, as a possible free agent signing.

Today he re-signs with Tampa Bay for 3 years, $21 million.
