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.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
