Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Calvin Ridley just made the worst bet of all-time

That's a dumb fucker there yall
Has that ever even happened before in history?
I am sure he didn't after this display of stupidity.
What would be the payout if he put 1500 down and won? Not $11M that’s for sure
He’s got a point.
But he doesn’t. One is a materially-proven violation of rules. The other is an allegation that has yet to be tested in court. And the existence of one offense should not mean that the other should go unpoliced.
With as tied in with sportsbetting as the NFL has become, it is even more important for there to be an absolute firewall between gambling and players/coaches/other team officials. Ridley is unfortunately the guy they caught, and the NFL will make an example of him. Maybe over the summer they cut it down to a half season or less, but they’re going to make him sweat it out and send a message.

Shit, our Congressman and women get to bet on the stock market before they pass laws. Sportsball is held to a higher standard than the people running this country.
Wonder if Argentina is nice this time of year.
