If owners are bribing their coaches to throw games...they should be stripped of their teams. There needs to be huge investigation - including what aspects of the gambling world could have had this knowledge. It's disgusting.

Anybody who bet on Dolphins or Browns games would have grounds to file a lawsuit. No?

All that will happen is the NFL will send out some edict that if a team is caught tanking games they will forfeit draft picks.

I would never put another cent on a Miami or Cleveland game as long as Ross and Haslam were the owners. Serious accountability needs to happen for anyone to be satisfied that this issue is being resolved. |

Stupid Browns ownership… Hue Jackson proved he can easily lose games for free without any extra incentive.

For instance. I'm well aware that the house has a slight edge when I'm playing Blackjack. I know that the odds are against me and I choose to play anyway. That's a risk. Now if the house is manipulating the deck or rigging the game further to ensure the dealer always wins, that goes beyond risk and into illegal activity. If I bet on an NFL game that is presented as a legitimate sporting contest, I know I might lose. That's a risk. If the game being played was intentionally rigged without my knowledge though, that's illegal. I didn't have extremely relevant information when my action was taken. I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure a good lawyer would rip your "risk" argument to pieces. |

I don't understand how this is surprising. Perhaps the NFL should re-consider just giving the #1 draft pick no matter what to the worst team. It rewards this type of behavior. We routinely see good players benched or "shut down" on 2-12 teams and lack of effort on those squads. This is probably the least surprising news I can imagine. |

The implications of this are pretty massive if true
