I remember watching him play at Virginia. Always liked his play. Getting Viriginia to 8 and 9 wins says something in and of itself. Wouldn't hate him for a camp arm. He is a similar "style" play to Josh. Big boy, rocket arm, and insane competitor. 

And can run. He's elusive. BTW he's a contender for UFL MVP.

UFL has a similar agreement with Uderdog Gaming, by the way.

 

 

For the NFL, It's essentially a licensing agreement.  

 

"These agreements make all four operators eligible to purchase NFL in-game commercial units and other select NFL media inventory.

This past April, the NFL announced its first-ever U.S. sportsbook partnerships with Caesars Entertainment, DraftKings and FanDuel. As pnFLart of those deals, in addition to having the exclusive right to leverage NFL marks within the sports betting category, integrate into NFL O&O properties, and activate around retail and online sports betting, Caesars Entertainment, DraftKings and FanDuel may also leverage their Approved Sportsbook Operator status to secure premium NFL advertising inventory during games and around ancillary programming."

 

It has nothing to do with refereeing..

I am well aware of the UFL involvement. That is why I said the transparency helps keep the UFL honest. Refereeing has everything to do with profits from gambling partners. How many games last year were determined by questionable calls?  It is not just a win or a loss, but about point differentials for gambling. Sharing the take from a gambling book is not the only way the NFL can get profit from books; if you are in a partnership with a company, you will favor it over a non-partner.   If you share profits with bookies and provide the referees who determine the game, a lack of transparency in their decisions is very unhealthy and opens you up to valid suspicions. The NFL has always had an integrity issue. If it is about profit and loss, a business will often find a way to fudge the outcome. To think otherwise is naive. That is what better transparency is for, to lessen suspicions.

Who or what in the NFL is "sharing profits with bookies"?  The league isn't in a "gambling partnership". 

 

One team's "questionable call" is another team's "great calL".....
