There was at least 1 game where he had a complete meltdown on the sideline because he wasn’t getting the ball, and he definitely had the over on his props.

ive been telling my friends for years the NBA is rigged and they never believed me. It's too easy to do


Basketball is so easy to do. A top flight player can go out and have what appears to be a good game while controlling the ball and sabotaging their team. Just hold the ball a little bit long. Force a couple of shots.

The "rigging" being done is not on overall games.

It's fringe guys who tell their friends that they're going to go out of the game with an "injury" so just take all of their unders.

The coaches who were arrested today were arrested in connection with a poker scheme.

No one was arrested for rigging entire basketball games. Johntay Porter and 2024 Terry Rozier were not really game breaking players.

What? There's illegal gambling by players in pro sports? Who could have possibly have seen this coming except anyone with half a brain who follows sports?

"The alleged sports rigging operation will send shockwaves through the world of American professional sports, which has embraced and reaped the business opportunities from the rapid expansion of sports betting across the country.

Today’s developments call to mind a warning from Bill Bradley, a former U.S. senator and New York Knicks star who was a driving force behind the 1992 law that effectively banned sports betting. “I just don’t think it will be controlled,” he said in 2024. “I think it will pervade the culture. I think there will be a scandal.”



Never thought web based sports books or ease of prop betting was a good idea, driving some to get in over their head with huge debt. But, politicians love their slice in taxes.

Pucker factor is high today across all of pro team sports. College won't be far behind, probably already there. There's always a key player who "isn't getting what I deserve" regardless of NIL.

It has happened before, will happen again.

The FBI's press conference this a.m. claimed that its probe has nothing to do with college sports. But with college athletes now going to be able to bet on pro sports, it won't be long before some will get into serious debt & seek "relief" by betting on college games.

Was there in the lower bowl. Before the last pick 6, on Third down we were screaming “run the ball”…it was unbelievable. Also our def that day was bada$$, Gabe Northern was awesome.

So , what if a college player gets in over his head betting pro sports ? The bookies come to him and offer to make the debt disappear , if he drops a few passes , misses a few key blocks …

Sadly, worse…it was a grammatical situation in which a comma would have helped me. Read it below and see if it makes sense:

No, LSU coaches in the early 90s were putting players in an awful position from a playcalling perspective.

There were seriously times last year where I thought Milroe and Ryan Williams were in on the take.
