stitches

Yeah, I don't see any way Ballard wins that bidding war. He was never going to offer enough.

It shows they had talks about moving up and probably had talked about some sort of compensation before the draft. Ballard is the first one he wanted to call. The interesting thing is... Tennessee didn't feature AT ALL. BTW, here's the full episode if someone wants to watch... some great access in that top of the draft trades timeline:

Here's just the next RB who signed a big deal and got cut early during that contract : I really really hope Ballard is paying attention to what's happening in the league. I really like Taylor... but it's bad business giving him that type of long-term money in today's league.

Happy Best Friends day, everybody...

It's a guess I would say. The point he's making is that it's very likely even though players know the general rules they don't know this type of small details about what counts as "in team building"...

Some more photos from OTAs...

Jameson Williams got suspended for 6 games for this.

Day 3 of OTAs this week is on... seems like the media is there...

What does this Sunday ticket include? Do you get all 22 film?

Query said his source is telling him the Colts are learning about this with us, while Rodgers knew he was under investigation since February. Kind of sounds unbelievable to be honest... but who knows? Holder is saying the same:

Query just made a GREAT point that I had not thought about ... even if he bet only for Colts wins and he bet on 10 games. What does that tell you about the other 7 games he didn't bet? Did he expect us to lose in those? This actually makes the argument for him never being allowed to play again even if he only bet on Colts wins...

It's hard to plead ignorance, specifically about Rodgers, since he took measures to evade being detected. He knew what he was doing wasn't allowed. That's why he used accounts of other people to place those bets. It's just so freaking stupid. Maybe he does have gambling problem and this is no joke... many people have fallen victims to it and many lives have been ruined by gambling addiction. No idea if he fits in that category or just straight up stupidity... either way... what a shame for ruining his career for what? The thrill of betting 20-50 bucks on games. Wasn't the thrill of playing in those games enough for him? Just...

Listening to Kevin & Query. Query is saying he received this information yesterday, before the report was leaked. According to his source the player has known for hte investigation since February but the team is just learning about this. So this means, Rodgers didn't even tell Colts FO he's being investigated for 4 months.

If he bet on the Colts to lose IMO he will never play again. If he bet on spreads of Colts games IMO he will never play again either. If he bet on the Colts to win, he might get a chance to play but still I'm not sure. If he only bet on other games or other sports he probably will be reinstated at some point(probably next year). He knew what he was doing. He knew it was against the rules and that's why he used another person's account to place those bets and not his own. He thought he won't get caught. I guess the positive is he's taking responsibility for what he's done, but there will be ton more steps before he convinces the league and an NFL team to give him another shot. Such a shame for a talented player to waste his career like that

Ridley bet on a few games he DIDN'T PLAY IN and he bet on his team to win. According to reports Rodgers made "hundreds of wagers" and some of them were on Colts games. We still don't know if he bet on Colts wins or losses... If he bet on the team to lose in games he played in... I don't think he will ever play again.

What a waste of a talent... He was easily my favorite DB on this roster. No idea what the punishment would be, I hope he returns back to playing after it, but this is just so very stupid... What a letdown.

Just read this guy's bio and decide for yourself if he's trustworthy.
