[CR91]

I pray one of our starters wasn't this stupid if this is true.

Quote

The investigation has found evidence that this player — who is on the Colts’ active roster — placed “hundreds of wagers,” a source told the publication.

Hundreds of bets. 

 

This isn't some 6 game or season suspension if true.

 

The hammer would be dropped. Betting on your own team. Not good.

 

Have to think it is a lower salary guy, but that doesn't exclude guys on rookie deals.

 

Little worrisome for sure.

After what the gave Calvin Ridley why in the world would you still gamble?

 

[JediXMan]

Also why would you bet on the Colts winning games last year.

Maybe he bet on them to lose?

That makes more sense either way why do something so dumb.

Beyond dumb, no doubt.

 

 

Just hoping "active roster" means our 91 man roster, and not our top 53 roster from last year.

Just stay away from gambling lol. Rumors are swirling it’s Rodgers.

Just seen some rando Twitter guy say his name 

 

What else are you seeing out there?

[GoColts8818]

Rather the rule is dumb or not it’s still a rule and the NFL has made it clear they will drop the hammer on players for violating it so violating it is just dumb.

Don't think it would ever be a dumb rule to not be allowed to bet on your own team.

 

To much insider information.

[w87r]

 

Colts "statement" regarding investigation.

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

All I can say is at least we have no expectations this year with a rookie QB is it is someone important.

I agree with that.  I was just taking the broad response as I know from past discussions some people feel the gambling rule is dumb.  

[stitches]

... peak of stupidity.... especially after seeing the Ridley suspension...

I think if proven they bet on the Colts the suspension goes beyond this year.

 

Perriman signing just has me wondering if it is a wide out?

 

Pittman

Pierce

Dulin

 

?

 

Hate to speculate, but that is all that can be done at the moment.

 

Signed an Edge guy recently too.

 

Paye

Dayo

Lewis

 

?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like it might be Pittman. NFL rumors is reporting it’s Pittman but then deleted it. They tagged ESPN.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Apparently a Sfefter tweet was deleted.

Little "hip" injury, as the cover?

 

Can make some sense.

 

 

If that's the case I would be looking at Hopkins.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ha ha fake tweet 

 

Mod Edit: [Insert tweet reporting Pittman was the player from a fake Shefter account]

Has to be someone on the roster 22 and 23. Strachan? We did sign a WR

It was someone on roster last year. I assume they are still on roster.

Strachan has been on the roster. He's been with the team since 22

Sorry I edited to say yes they were on roster in 22 and are still on roster it seems.

[w87r]

Who has time to make hundreds of wagers at the team facility?

 

 

Injured guys?

[Boss7894]

I remember in College football someone bet on their team to lose and they were playing lacksidasical in order to help lose

I can’t find any tweets like that… It said a starter but not really a star so no Pittman

Really? It takes about 30 seconds to post a wager on your phone....

I'm thinking (maybe hoping?) It's Dulin or someone on his level of importance...

 

  Not that he's not a key guy, but no one more critical please.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Jake Querry on jmv right now said if it’s the name that was given to him it is a player that showed promise.   A couple players I think would fall in the category.

[RockThatBlue]

Well if the player was betting for the Colts he must be bankrupt.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Querry said he is 99% sure it’s a defensive player with a great opportunity in front of him. That leads to rodgers or maybe Thomas?

Chances are it’s worse and he was betting on them to lose

[John Waylon]

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. 
 

Apparently some people can’t quite grasp the meaning of “zero tolerance”, even after the league demonstrated it. 

[Shive]

I'm thinking that means Speed, Cross (maybe the reason Blackmon moved to SS), Flowers, or maybe Dayo. Rodgers may fall into that, but I feel like he's already been a starter, so not necessarily fitting that description.

I'm thinking that means they weren't a starter before, but due to roster losses, were in line to potentially start this year. That makes me think of Cross, Speed, and Dayo.

It sounds like Rodgers and that really sucks if true. I'd say most of us Colts fans would say Rodgers shows promise on defense as much as anybody does.

It could be Kwity too

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I could throw speed in there too. If it’s rodgers how stupid could you be.

Rodgers had a great opportunity to become a full time starter. He falls into that. Dayo is one I didn’t think of. That would be a huge blow/

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Dayo would be the bigger loss then Rodgers or Speed.
