Damn 😬

Hard to imagine only two people involved in something like this so I wonder if there will be more arrests coming.

My memory isn't what it used to be but I'm not sure I remember a story of an active professional head coach being arrested before, and alongside a player for another team is wild.

"illegal gambling" translation is "the government wasn't getting their cut"

I don't pay attention to gambling or gambling laws much so I have no idea what makes it illegal in this particular case.

Still, an active head coach and player at the same time...wow 😳

I remember hearing about point shaving scandals when I was a kid.

That said, I don't remember seeing active professional players and coaches arrested, and in season.

Oh, I think that is selective.  I mean, everyone can't do it.  Just like with everything else.  Only select folks are allowed to be bad.  They will try to weed out the random people trying to get in on things, it can't be a big thing everyone can get in on.  

I mean, isn't it pretty well acknowledged the mob back in they day influenced outcomes of sports?

Something illegal and unethical happens in the world of gambling. Color me shocked and amazed. Gambling is always on the up and up, right? People who either get put in a bad position or in a lucrative position would never ever ever violate the sanctity of the game, right?

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
