    Supposedly he bet three parlays, each involving the Falcons to win. On his phone. Out of state due to wherever he lives.

    Can we assume that they are tracking all of the players legal betting and this was a first?

    That's correct. As part of their deal with all of their gambling partners, the partners notify the NFL if any NFL personnel place bets.

    Nate Newton is checking in on that question.

    He was out to work on his “Mental Health” and he bet on some games?

    I got no problem with him betting if he was out on leave honestly, but the fact that he walked away from his team because he had to focus on his mental
    Health but he was ok enough to gamble I just don’t feel bad for the guy.

    Betting on NFL is one of the WORST things for your mental health lol

    I think any of us who have ever bet a parley know we suffer from a mental issue and really need to have our head examined

    The irony is that Caesars seems to be a NFL sponsor with the All the Mannings. I do love JB Smoove, Halle Berry, Archie, Eli, Cooper and Peyton in the commercials. They are well done but romanticizes gambling to say the least.

    I know that this might not be the consensus opinion around here, but I get a bad taste in my mouth seeing these guys shill for anything gambling related. Same goes for alcohol related.

    What is ironic is Redd Foxx actually died from a heart attack.

    this post was so good that you just earned yourself a $10 free play token toward the players tourney, no strings attached

    take a look at the odds below, cull a name to take it down, and i'll put the bet in. if your selection doesn't win, nothing happens. if he does, i'll send you the money.

    I think more and more will be coming from this, I wonder if there is going to be legit accusations of him betting on Falcons games and him playing a potential part in the outcome.
