    The idiot's excuse was that since gambling is now legal, he thought it was OK to place bets, oblivious to the fact that the NFL still prohibits it. Fact that he actually put down "professional football player" actually supports that ignorance.

      Just to name a few that come to mind.
      I was only talking about NFL players as thread title only said NFL and originally said Shaw was first player caught before the "since legal" clarification was added.

          Yes forgot about him..Also see what you’re
          saying about the title being NFL...

          I added all sports players who have bet.

          Did Joe Nameth ever have a problem with the NFL and gambling?

                  I believe it said Caesars. Crazy that they reported him but not some of the nfl owners that have wagered on football in the casinos over the years.

                  Kid’s career is over though.

                      They said it was at a Caesars sportsbook.

                      Caesars owns the following.

                      Planet Hollywood
                      Paris
                      Caesars
                      Flamingo
                      Harrahs
                      Cromwell
                      Linq....

                      I didn’t know if they meant Caesar’s Palace or another property.

                          It would be awesome if he got banned over a $25 parlay.

                            That makes more sense. The funny thing is he bet against his own team and lost. That’s hard to do with the Cardinals.
