Running athletes busted for gambling thread

I believe that when it comes to players, that is the discretion of the commisioner. Other MLB employees get a year if its a baseball bet not involving their team, lifetime if it is

 

By the way, as an Angels fan can I point out just how mind-blowing it is that this is happening with a free agent who just left the Angels? Because it would be perfectly on-brand for the Angels to sign a guy for $700 million and then have this happen.

 

I got texts from my bank after writing checks for my property taxes and my car. Wouldn't go through unless I verified it's me.

Kinda glad that protection is there, but when it flags a $1.50 debit card purchase at Publix for some Laffy Taffy it can be a pain in the butt.

 

We're at the "don't speak unless you are forced to" chapter of the Celebrity Crisis Handbook.

Fortunately for MLB there's a convenient patsy for Showey.

Ohtani presser going on now. He says he's innocent! Well that should be that, let's all move on.

Some real Homer vibes here.

"I thought the cop was a prostitute."

 

Holy fuck watch MLB Network's Matt Vasgersian and Dan O'Dowd twist themselves into pretzels declaring how good a presser that was.

 

And an all-too-credulous national media

 

Woj bomb

Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter is out of the lineup and a subject of an NBA investigation into irregularities on prop betting involving him, sources tell @DavidPurdum, @ESPNWindhorst and me. Story soon.
