Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Perfect fit in the backup role as Bills QB. Has a multitude of casinos close by, and can do a weekly segment with Shtupp and the Bulldog on 'Brendan the Bookie's Picks'. 🤔 1 Quote

He was commuting in to be the Saints HC. 😂 No one cared. There are lots of jokes about it but everyone turned a blind eye to it. Wow! 1 Quote

I understand the horse is out of the barn and, like everything else, money is controlling it and ruining the country in the process. I've been at it for 20+ years. Can't say I'm better for it. Would prefer it be the old way where I didn't talk about it and was largely looked at as a degenerate by society vs having my boss ask me who I like this weekend. It's literally everywhere and is 100% a highly addictive behavior. 1 Quote

BillyJoeBills Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Sorsby didnt make a couple of bets, he made thousands of online bets. He’s looking at being the Garrett Nussmeier of the 2027 draft, if some team decides to take a bet on him. 1 Quote
MJS Posted April 27 Posted April 27 At a minimum, this shows a Supreme lack of intelligence and disregard for the rules. Every sports figure knows that they are not allowed to do this. It doesn't matter if you agree with it or not. It doesn't matter if you think it is harmless or not. These rules are drilled into all of them. So, that's a red flag against him. 1 Quote
BillyJoeBills Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I remember QB Art Schlicter, high 1st rd pick back in early 1980’s who was such a serial bettor, that he even continued to gamble in prison. It may be a bit premature to say this, but based on the thousands of online bets since 2022, I’m betting that Sorsby won’t be rehabilitated and will relapsed back into gambling. The recidivism rate for gambling addicts after therapy is reportedly between 50-70 pct, so it looks like Sorsby is facing tough odds. Might be better off, if he lives in a monastery as a monk, away from the lure of money and online betting. 2 Quote
Rockpile233 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Another way we are failing the young people. It’s one thing to have it legalized, quite another when parlays are shoved down your throat by every sports media channel. Hooking them good and early. I love to gamble, used to take a trip to vegas for March Madness and opening NFL weekend, but a casino at your fingertips 24/7 (and plenty of games in Asia to blindly get your fix with any time) is a net negative for society. I watch a lot of young guys on my team lay big portions of their check every weekend on longshot parlays and they wonder why they can’t save a down payment for a house. God forbid they make a straight bet. 2 Quote

Could be ineligible by NCAA which mean you could see a high profile QB entering the supplemental draft No, it's not illegal. But the report is he placed "THOUSANDS" of bets That's a problem. Quote
That's No Moon Posted April 28 Posted April 28 9 hours ago, Process said: NFL teams aren't passing on a Top QB prospect over this. Disregarding a gambling addiction for the single player on the field with the most control of each play's outcome would be beyond foolish. Hence, he will be a Jet, and it will be a disaster. I've said it 100x at this point, this goes beyond betting on the outcome of the game. It's the prop bets. Players can control the outcomes of prop bets much better than they can control a whole game. Several athletes have already gotten caught manipulating this stuff and it's the tip of the iceberg. 3 Quote

Could be ineligible by NCAA which mean you could see a high profile QB entering the supplemental draft Talk about hypocrisy ! The NFL brings out this gambling thing where they promote gambling to all of those out side of the NFL but anyone that works for or is connected to the NFL in any way like even retired players like Tasker or Browny because they work for a team cannot place a bet even if it is a different team . I could see a rule that specifies not betting on the team that you are employed by but to not allow people to bet on other games that have absolutely nothing to do with the team you work for is kind of crazy . Then in those promotions to not only promote gambling but then give promotion to those that have a gambling problem to seek help that's like handing out cocaine then giving them a 1 800 number for addiction ... Kind of crazy !!! Plus this kid isn't in the NFL as of yet but I guess they are putting up the red flag to all concerned ... 1 Quote

I'm not downplaying addiction the gambling commercials are followed by endless numbers to call for help. if he weren't a QB...most likely a non-story hope the kid gets the help needed the salaries are nuts and academic students patythe price Quote
