Summary

The NFL suspended Falcons WR Calvin Ridley for making parlay bets on NFL games including the Falcons. An NFL investigation found the bets occurred in November when Ridley was away from the team due to mental health issues. Games weren't affected from Ridley's bets, but bottom line is you can't have that! Players can not bet on their league and their teams. Period! Why are so many critical of the league's decision? Just because they make millions of dollars from gambling sites? This is really pretty simple to me. Don't bet on your sport!Grant's Rant: 3-9-22 A Gambling No-No Learn more about your ad choices.

0:41.1	Ridley also admitted to it. They didn't really find
0:43.4	anything that was concerning. It's not like point spreads were affected and so on and
0:47.4	so forth. I'm a little surprised by the number of folks, current NBA or
