Technically he didn't, it's the nights he didn't bet on the Reds that he "played with the lineup" to get an edge on the upcoming games he would lay money for the Reds to win.

Trust me, if they provided info to include Rose getting 12-14 year old girls delivered to him in various spots of the country.. the copies of the books that are out there are in their entirety.

News this morning is still no student athletes involved.

But some national media members still say Bohannon won’t look as dirty when it’s all said and done. Personally don’t see how that’s possible. Colossal idiot or not. It’s a terrible look.

Society creates these problems by spending billions on advertising of how you gamble responsibly. Create the tech to gamble anywhere you happen to have wifi and then scream about the integrity of the game when a player or coach gets involved.

Otherwise, the rest of us don't have to go anywhere to do it. You can gamble until they come and take your house and cars. And somehow it has nothing to do with our integrity.

It's absolutely impossible to police this much stupid.

How many apps are available to gamble exclusively? How many commercials run every day encouraging one and all to download these apps? How many athletes are used each evening to especially encourage you to gamble exclusively on the game at hand?

Let's see how bright you really are.

If commercialism didn't believe that they can change your betting habits by spending billions of dollars on running endless gambling commercials 24/7, why else would they do it?

I have always felt he was probably just speaking to a friend and had no clue or intention of that guy using that information to place a big bet

Commercialism and personal ethics are two entirely different things.

The Black Sox didn't fix a World Series due to gambling apps or commercialism, they did it due to greed and a lack of ethics. Just like your guy.

Gambling and personal ethics are one and the same. Looking for the moral high ground because you indulge in gambling doesn't change whether it's ethical.

You have no idea if I gamble or not but you have certainly lost this argument. Good day.

What argument? The nonsense that one man's integrity is somehow different than another when both are engaging in the same activity.

That's as stupid as parents begging their children not to smoke as they light up another one. Now there's some serious integrity.
