As I alluded, I doubt there will be any investigation or punishment.  That doesn't mean it's not a problem.  Of course players are going to make friendly wagers.  In the pre-social media era, that would not be a problem.  It actually probably wouldn't be a problem now either should they have kept their gentleman's wager to themselves.  The fact that neither thought twice about telling the media is a big deal.  And the fact that while this is a gray area that likely has no teeth - the simple reality is that NFL players should not bet on anything NFL related in any capacity. 

"You know what else doesn't hurt the league's integrity? Two first-year players doing their best to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Because that's what they hopefully would have done anyway. A little side-wager for if one actually wins is simply icing on the cake for the victor."  I could not disagree more with this.  While it's true that it incentivizes them to perform, it also now incentivizes them to play for themselves.  You could say "it's 10k and not a big deal to either".  Well, what if this was 100k?  or more?  How long before Nabers starts screaming at Daniel Jones and coaches that he needs to get more looks and targets?  How much does it influence Jayden Daniels to try and make a miracle play rather than eating a sack or throwing the ball away?

Apparently someone that the NFL on CBS with 1.4M Followers considered worthy enough to broadcast his work on Twitter

DJ is not rock bottom, cmon. He regressed terribly last year, but the real question with him now is his health. Can he stay upright is more pressing than his ability.

So, I am to believe that guys like JJ MCcarthy, Bo Nix and Bryce Young are better QBs than DJ? What a waste of time for CBS to even post that garbage. Zero credibility and nonsense.

I don't really know what criteria they are using, but common sense tells me ranking guys who have never taken a snap in the NFL ahead of any veteran is just a big red flag as far as credibility goes.

Quote from: Trench on Today at 12:17:56 PMYour post makes no sense to me whatsoever. I have no ill will towards whatever you believe or root for. I simply ask you for the same courtesy.

If you think I was discourteous to you, you have no idea what that means. As for ill-will, call it what you like, but you also seem confused as to whom, what and why I have been critical. Otherwise, I have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps, that's just as well.

Cheers!
