While it’s the right move.. I hate the power structure of the NFL and the general smugness of Goodell so part of me hopes he sues and embarrasses the league somehow.

Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.
This paragraph is the NFL saying to Sorsby:

I think they thought they could lean into the whole mental health thing and people would rally around him
Unfortunately for him he did the one sports fans unanimously agree on…you don’t bet especially on the team you play for.

Just wow on that entire post.

I guess his next step is to sue the NFL. But I think he'll find that the NFL'S lawyer team are not pushovers like the NCAA's.

Not really relevant to this thread but this analyst just announced on Twitter that he (Matt Miller) got in a crazy car accident and they had to amputate his arm to save his life
Holy crap.

He won’t do shite. They caved when the big12s put them in the cuck chair and dared them to look away. And by they I mean Sorsby, TTU, their largest donor and the Texas AG.

So what’s the move?
Liberty University. Jamey Chadwell's the head coach. Seems like a match made in heaven.

Which is funny, considering how much they promote gambling

If you can't comprehend the difference between trying to win at any cost, and being willing to lose in order to make personal profit, then that explains a lot.
As a spectator, the one non-negotiable thing I demand from a sporting competition is that BOTH sides are trying to win.

I'm not saying they're the same. They both significantly violate the integrity of the game. Why wasn't Harbaugh given similar treatment?

You say you're not saying they're the same, then ask why they aren't treated the same?
Cheating to win is basically a part of the game. Stealing signs. Growing your grass high and soft to slow down fast opponents. Teams do what they can to gain an advantage, but it doesn't bring the entire event into question.
The Patriots deflated the football some so Tom Brady could throw the ball softer and it was easier to catch for his WRs, but that's not the same as the Jets QB intentionally throwing a pick to guarantee the Patriots win. It was unfair but not rigged.
Sorsby brings the question of rigging into play. Sporting competitions can not have that.

I said they are similar in that the are significantly detrimental to the integrity of the game. As such, they should be treated similarly.

When you get a 10 year show cause, it's not for actions common to the game. This was well beyond game day sign stealing.

You must have missed the entire year long drama surrounding the Michigan cheating scandal that certainly brought their game results into question.
Have a lovely day.

Kosmo, I think you're being intentionally obtuse here. Maybe trying to play devil's advocate, or maybe trying to just be oppositional the way SFP does on some of these boards.
There's a difference in cheating to win, vs throwing a game or shaving points.
A 10 year show cause is different than lifetime ban.
A Michigan cheating scandal which suggests they may have to forfeit some wins is different than "did he gamble on the game, and intentionally lose".
The sport can survive one, and can very possibly not survive the other.
You're an Ohio State fan. You go into Ann Arbor, you probably laugh and shake your head about holding calls vs your team, and none vs the Wolverines. Ticky-tack pass interference vs yours, while they can wrestle down the field and not get called. Goes with the territory, and you say frick Big Blue and frick the refs, and move on. And if you win, it's that much more gratifying. And if you don't, you say we get them at home next year.
In contrast; let's say everyone knew your kicker was gambling on games a couple years ago. Just a hypothetical. You know, the guy who could have beat UGA on a last second kick, but instead drilled it into the corner of the endzone.
What's your take on that? Oh, he tried that time and just missed? Or, he threw that fricking game and you wasted money paying for playoff tickets, only to have that happen?
Hope you have a lovely day, too.

O/U 30 days on the girl that followed him to tech dumps his soon to be poor arse for a real football player?
He's keeping two million bucks from TTU and he's the most famous player in college football. The reality is he could trade up any time.

At this point, I’m starting to think his attorney is advising him solely with self interest/billable hours in mind

I recommend you avoid watching late season American sports at the team don’t have a winning record then because there are plenty teams trying to lose
