Better than gambling on the Jets drafting and developing a quality QB

So are NFL referees prohibited from gambling?  How about the friends and families of NFL referees?

[Gugny]

I think this rule is stupid.  I hope he wins his appeal and they change the rule.  Gambling is being shoved down our throats every time we turn the TV and radio on.  Give me an effin' break.

Not to mention the NFL's sponsored by Draft Kings, Caesar's, Fan Duel, etc. and they're the ones force feeding the advertising. Talk about hypocritical!!

Not to nitpick, but how does an NFL assistant coach even have time for online gambling, when they're basically working 100 hr weeks?

The other 68 hours per week is plenty of time to sleep, eat, take a poop or two, and gamble.

Meanwhile the casinos have the “if you have a gambling problem, call this number” signs, with the state-funded gambling addiction centers right across the street lol

I wonder how NFL found out.  Maybe he did not pay bets and some company went to garnish his wages.

 

Questions:

• Does he get paid when on suspension and if not does that mean that gambling is less important than sexual harassment of multiple counts like Browns' QB did.
• Does this remove one year of his guarantee for contract?  NFL coaches contracts generally are guaranteed.
• If he is suspended is he allowed to gamble since not currently an employee? 
• If JEST head coach is fired how does that affect suspension?

With mobile app you can take a poop and gamble at same time.

What kind of prep work is needed to have a guy run to a spot and watch Zack Wilson throw the ball at your feet. Now DBs coach is the busy guy, hes to to prep secondary and the WRs

I think players and coaches should be allowed to wager on their team.

Pete Rose should be IN the Hall of Fame!!

    And really many of the fantasy leagues are really a form of gambling too.

I agree with you to a point, but how hard is it NOT to follow the guidelines established by the league?  If you don’t do anything, you’re fine.  You have to work to f that up.

Good Lord I hope he didn't bet on the Jets of all teams.

Not until the 1919 "Black" Sox are exonerated... 

[Buddo]

If he’s not betting on the NFL, then why should it matter?
 

Does that mean any team that plays in Vegas isn’t allowed to throw some loose change into a slot machine?

 

Is buying a lottery ticket allowed?
 

Is this just in season?

Beyond silly

Yeah, if you let Rose in and all of the others after him, you have to restore the Black Sox players as well... all or nothing. The Black Sox players were found not guilty in a court of law.

If the Jets were a single person they'd be Al Bundy
