| 0:00.0 | Hey, no, welcome to episode 356 of the official established the run.com podcast. |
| 0:22.3 | My name is Adam Levittan. |
| 0:23.3 | I'm one of the co-founders here at ETR and we're coming off of a Calvin Ridley is one |
| 0:28.8 | of us. |
| 0:29.8 | Kind of story. Yes, that's right word broke last month that Calvin Ridley was betting |
| 0:35.0 | on the NFL on the hard rock Florida app last season. That is of course against NFL rules. |
| 0:41.6 | He was giving a four year suspension. And by the way, I know I'm late here. Sorry about that. |
| 0:46.4 | Been traveling a ton. Shout out to me, but I really did have to get to this story. So look, |
| 0:50.6 | you know, obviously I have no problem with people betting on sports. Like I literally do it |
| 0:55.9 | and talk about every day. Calvin Ridley was betting on NBA games, you know, 10k game or whatever. |
| 1:01.1 | Clearly, no one should have an issue with that. You know, he's an adult. Let him blast on the NBA. |
| 1:06.8 | But I got to say and I know this is unpopular. I do think the NFL has to take a hard line here |
| 1:13.4 | with guys betting on NFL games. You know, I know Ridley only bet somewhere between like 1500 and |
| 1:19.2 | 3900. I know he didn't fix games. I know he didn't have inside information. I highly doubt he |
| 1:24.9 | has any kind of gambling problem despite costing himself 11 million in 2022 and maybe more later. |
| 1:31.0 | Like I get all that. But the reason the NFL is what it is. I mean, the only thing I can hurt it |
| 1:37.0 | right now is people thinking that the games aren't legit that the outcome has decided before him |
| 1:43.0 | that the players are throwing games that there's no integrity, you know, simply in the players |
| 1:46.9 | and the coaches trying their hardest. So with legalized sports betting, you know, |
| 1:50.6 | relatively new in our country, I really don't blame the NFL for throwing the book at Ridley. |
| 1:56.7 | You know, make make an example of sorts and believe me, I hate. I fucking hate to cape for the league |
| 2:03.1 | and Gidele and the owners. I hate it. But I understand this suspension here on Ridley. And I know |
