00:00yesterday

00:00something came out that i was like very taken aback by because oh yeah i was i was lied to

00:13i was told this was over and then yesterday we got fake out never mind because if you guys didn't

00:23hear terry rogier is apparently not cleared of any wrongdoing with the gambling probe which only is

00:32getting more headlines around it because malik beasley also roped into it and it basically cost

00:39him a 40 million dollar contract with the detroit pistons which is why they have duncan robinson now

00:44but well this stuff was all breaking sham sarania a month ago was on the pat mcafee show

00:53and he just kind of threw out there like yeah terry rogier he's good baby this was this was on

00:59the mcafee show a month ago sham sarania espn's senior nba reporter terry rogier i believe had

01:08an investigation but then that thing disappeared so hopefully he has been cleared and if that is

01:13the case hopefully we know that and we can tell the world about it it's happened in football

01:16as of right now is it has been cleared i mean he finished the season with miami there's there's

01:21really nothing really active as of right now with him uh the nba did nba spokesman mike bass did give

01:29a statement to me yesterday he said that the league is cooperating with the federal prosecutors so

01:35the league essentially i mean this is a federal matter now all right so he just puts

01:42hey terry rogier when you hear that leroy do you not assume that terry rogier is all good baby

01:49uh yeah i mean so then yesterday but when they said it's a federal issue

01:56then that doesn't mean that federally they but when he said it yeah but that wasn't when the

02:05rogier news broke that was the malik beasley stuff and he made it seem like terry rogier is clear

02:11he's not being investigated anymore we know that the league cleared him the league cleared him back

02:16when this was first an issue it wasn't until the feds came in and was like hmm we're still skeptical

02:21on that but shams came out and he was like yeah yeah yeah he's clear baby now did he like clumsily do

02:28it yeah it was a little weird but yesterday uh pablo torrey on pablo torrey finds out did this whole

02:37deep dive on the malik beasley case and he was doing this with tom haberstroh long time nba reporter

02:45used to cover the heat on the heat index big stats guy but has a lot you know as was helping pablo in

02:52the reporting of this story and he comes out and he goes terry rogier not cleared geez here was the uh

03:02here was hamstring on pablo torrey finds out a few months ago this news broke now to a developing

03:08story the nba confirmed thursday that suspicious gambling activity surrounding guard terry rozier

03:13in a game nearly two years ago is now being investigated by federal prosecutors as a part

03:18of the same probe that led to the lifetime ban of former raptors player jonte porter now at the time

03:24rozier was playing for the hornets so miami heat guard terry rozier who's under contract with the heat

03:30as we speak he became the second player after jonte porter to be publicly identified as a part of this

03:37federal investigation into sports betting and what i'm told is contrary to shams tarani is reporting

03:44is that terry rozier has not been cleared of any wrongdoing only that his name came up in the

03:50existing federal investigation huh what do you mean it's still going on dude still chris haynes by the

04:02way also comes out yesterday with a tweet and he did the old breaking news thing where he's like

04:09even though he's not working for espn and he throws it out there too he goes yeah terry rozier still

04:16getting investigated not cleared of any wrongdoing to which leroy

04:20the here gonna go into another season with this hanging over terry rozier because let's be honest

04:30right dude he's not playing this year even if he's on the roster they just traded for norman powell

04:36they drafted a guard they extended davion mitchell they have tyler hero we already talked about

04:43pella larson and jaime jacques jr there are no minutes for this guy on this team like it's quite

04:52obvious and also still being investigated did he do anything about this like is this because they

05:02already handled it last year they had him still on the roster there's not really any protocol for you

05:06to do this because it's in the hands of the feds it's not like you could suspend them he was cleared

05:13by the nba but like isn't it weird because we want he was so bad last year i'm sorry i'm sorry i keep

05:22cutting off but he was so bad last year obviously he wasn't on the take he just stunk but if you were

05:29to say what would somebody on the take look like it would look at times like that remember that calves

05:35game oh that calves game he had a really great calves game his first year and then he had last

05:40year's calves game oh my god you're done i think you're okay now

05:47when sham said it was a federal matter that should have told you that he wasn't done

05:58federal indictments or federal investigations never just go away

06:06and once it becomes federal until you hear it from the federal government

06:13it is safe to assume that they're still looking into it yeah but i never know see with shams

06:21he broke that trump had covid i don't know what sources this guy knows everything like this guy i

06:28don't know where shot he may have federal federal sources because he was like yeah he's cleared

06:33and no but he was cleared by the nba no no no no we already knew he was cleared by the nba when he

06:39said he was cleared he made it sound like he was cleared of investigation

06:42all right he lied to me you lied shams i mean is the shams work for the federal government

06:52he might i mean he's got a lot of info okay well then like again i don't know somebody was

07:00mentioning um who was it ridley really here's what really did there's a rule

07:08in the nfl that you cannot bet while on the grounds of nfl facility

07:19so a lot of these guys that got caught were making bets in the say in the in their car while on the

07:31wi-fi of the building and so that's how some guys got suspended or he was also and he was injured

07:41right right but that's that's how that so if you're in the locker room and you go oh oh oh the

07:49marlins are playing i want to bet on the marlins right if you make that bet on the wi-fi of your

07:59facility that is deemed uh a penalty and that's what happened to calvin ridley yeah the nfl is is

08:08super strict about that stuff they had that with the with some lions too he's the most famous guy but

08:13it happened with a bunch of guys who got suspended for a year right um the thing with but the thing

08:18that's different with the rogier the beasley the jonte porters are these are games these guys actively

08:26were in right that there was action on them that people found to be suspicious i mean listen

08:35all he need to do is give us a call down here and say you think his play was suspicious

08:46no nope it was bad it was suspicious from what no but here's the thing though this is why okay

08:53we're trying to piece this together and explain why he was so bad and that's what you're coming up

09:01with it lee roy he was he was a pretty good basketball player his first when he was healthy

09:06with the heat and he started getting into it i was like this guy's pretty good you know all right

09:12he's not damian lillard and i would never give up a first round pick for him that was a terrible trade

09:16but terry rogier has been a very successful offensive basketball player his entire life yep

09:22he looked like the g leaguer last year he was a looter in the riot understood i i get that from

09:30my understanding the investigation comes from when he was with the celtics no i think it was the

09:34hornets oh i mean because i remember i saw like a bunch of people putting clips from when he was

09:39with the celtics of just like clear very suspicious play see the thing is what they investigated was a

09:46game that he there was unders on him and i think it was from 2023 that he got injured in but the

09:54thing that was with terry rogier is i don't think he played the rest of the season so that's why i

10:00think the nba cleared him but i think what's going on with the federal investigation and again i don't

10:06know all the details they're the feds but there apparently is a gambling ring that involves multiple

10:11players so maybe that's why he's still involved he's not maybe maybe there's not enough stuff

10:16forthcoming about what he knows does he know these individuals i don't know because even with the

10:20malik beasley what was reported with pablo torri yesterday was malik beasley there were a lot of

10:25unders bet on him and that this guy was going and trying to rebound like crazy so was he pulling an

10:31okey-doke on gamblers i don't know there doesn't seem to be any clear proof other than jonte porter

10:36but the one difference between jonte porter and malik beasley is jonte porter banned from the league

10:42suspended for life right malik beasley that guy just lost a 40 million dollar contract

10:47terry is the only guy who's still on a roster and i just don't know what the heat are supposed to do

10:54about it because they didn't say anything about they're like we're gonna go to the league statement

11:00about it but it now is still like hey this is still around and what's up with that it's just nothing

11:09just nothing we just we ride it out i'm just confused that's all i thought it was over

11:15shams lied to me maybe maybe or was deceptive of what with words

11:20or they lied to shams he was duped no but i i hear what leroy's saying because at the end he's like

11:30now it's a federal problem so i see i feel like it he was cleared by the nba and then now like from

11:37that point right it became a federal issue but to clear up he was on the show talking about

11:43beasley being a federal thing like that's why i think what what's getting lost there for you guys

11:47is it was already when paris year got investigated last year in january by the feds he was already

11:54cleared by the nba like that was already done that's why it was like oh well this he was already

11:59cleared like that whole statement was put out but the federal investigation wants to look into it

12:03we're cooperating when he's coming out you got all right dude you got a voicemail or something

12:07i like i try to like start playing yeah they got that autoplay yep and nobody's asked spo about

12:18terror rogier either like it's it's kind of weird like it's just been like the unspoken thing is it

12:23just because like hey we know he's not gonna play unless he sucks up at last year they reopen the

12:27investigation go look at those calves highlights and you tell me i i worked that game believe me i

12:34know you're not remembering falling on his face britney of course i do of course i do but here's

12:39here's the problem i think what makes it worse

12:43is when you're struggling and you have this hanging over your head everybody makes the assumption

12:51that this is why yeah because i was basically like oh when sham said that i was like oh okay so

13:00they investigated he just stinks like that's that's just what we came to the conclusion dude not on the

13:05take just terrible my question is what's more of questionable activity terry rogier who struggled all

13:17of last year or the fact that the dallas mavericks ended up with the number one pick

13:21oh that maverick conspiracy put a federal investigation into that and that's stupid

13:26that's what i'm saying 100 that's what i'm saying get the feds on that
