Betting $1500 on the Falcons to win and losing $11.1 million is the most Falcons thing ever.

Vegas ratting on the bettor because he's an NFL player. Damn, big brother is everywhere....wonder if the fedgov will turn over his cell phone records just for fun since the NFL is in bed with the Govt now?

Sorry but most of these posts are just hating on the guy cause he played for Bama and ATL. The NFL banned this dude for a year for waging a 1500 bet on his team to WIN and he wasn't even on the team at the time?! Are we serious here? Had he beaten the shite out of a woman at a bar and then gotten a DUI, he'd have gotten 4 games. Real great moral fricking high ground folks have here.

Exactly. The NFL should have given him a raise not banned him. He bet... ON THE FALCONS... TO WIN!

With the money these guys make I guess I’ll never understand they’re thinking when it comes to this.

He knew the rules and decided to bet on NFL games anyway. He deserves what he gets.

If only someone warned this would happen once the NFL embraced Vegas and gambling.

I mean he wasn't the manager/coach and bet on his team to lose..... no big deal to me. Let the man play.

"I know I was wrong But..." He should have stopped right there and deleted all his social media accounts. He knew he was wrong but did it anyway...then told the world how dumb he really is.

Just not a good decision. Agree if he only bet 1500 who cares though.

If he was Pete Rose he would be banned for life.
