Four players on one team...

 

The NFL, and really all sports organizations, are big hypocrites.  All day they drown us with the "betting odds" from games to who will go 1st overall.  Yet when their players are caught BETTING, they are like, "Oh, how dare they!!!  Throw them in the stockade!!!!!!"  This is nothing but chickens coming home to roost for allowing the nation to legalize sports gambling.

I'd say that discussion is...ongoing.

Yes, but we as regular folk can't throw games to help with a bet. Players technically can ... thus why betting is banned. Pretty simple concept.

Its all semantics.  The players' family would be regular folk.  Literally anyone they know could place a bet, and try to get in their ear to make things happen.  All I'm saying is, if you are that phobic towards your players betting on anything (even if it's outside football), why in the world are you promoting it everywhere?  They go out of their way to promote that stuff.  Are the players dumb for gambling?  Yes.  Is the NFL hypocritical?  Yes.  If we are going to condemn the players, also condemn the league who promotes gambling.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
