00:02
All right, well, Sam diving back into the NFL and
00:05
players who were betting on it.
00:08
Another player, this time a member of the Denver Broncos suspended indefinitely.
00:13
He now is the 10th player to be suspended for gambling and
00:17
the 7th that will miss the entire football season.
00:21
So Sam, look, no predicting the future in this, but
00:23
I have to wonder if all of these things will be a deterrent for 2023.
00:28
I don't know if it'll eliminate it completely, but
00:30
I just cannot believe we keep hearing about this, honestly.
00:32
>> Yeah, it's getting kind of annoying at this point to keep hearing about guys
00:38
getting suspended.
00:39
But obviously knowing that this is all based on investigations that were ongoing.
00:44
So it's not like you're seeing guys get suspended, then guys are betting there's
00:48
no season to get punished for right now, right?
00:50
But it is pretty annoying to see the 10th guy in the past year,
00:54
pretty much since right before the Super Bowl, come out and get suspended.
00:58
It's Denver Broncos defensive end, Yume Uwazuriki.
01:03
I'm not sure if I said the last name right.
01:05
I was trying to figure out the ways to pronounce it before coming on this show,
01:09
but couldn't find much cuz he hasn't really done much since coming in the league.
01:12
Was nicknamed in college, so I guess I'll refer to him as that.
01:16
But yeah, he basically violated the league's betting policy.
01:19
There's not many details about what exactly he did, but
01:23
the suspension should give us a clue.
01:26
All the guys that weren't suspended for the full year, just six months,
01:29
like lines wide receiver Jameson Williams, were only suspended for
01:33
six months because they didn't actually bet on the NFL,
01:36
which is the biggest sort of violation.
01:39
They did something where they did online poker at a team facility or
01:43
bet on another sport at the team facility,
01:45
entered a sports book during the NFL season.
01:46
So you'd have to think that's what he did here.
01:49
But this just goes to what the NFL has been talking about.
01:51
They've been making a big push to try to educate players more.
01:56
They're trying to promote their policy.
01:58
They've added mandatory training videos for rookies,
02:01
getting the league compliance department to deliver everyone an exact document,
02:06
only detailing the betting policy since people seem to not be getting it.
02:10
Increased signage at team facilities, integrity clauses and
02:13
contracts, laying out what exactly you can't do,
02:16
which we've gone over a lot on this show.
02:19
So it seems like we're just gonna keep getting this stuff.
02:22
And next season, if something happens again, that would kind of be the really
02:27
big breaking point where maybe we'll see a big change from the league.
02:30
Goodell address it more, but yeah, yet another player suspended for
02:33
violating the NFL's gambling policy.
