D Bone Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/browns-sever-ties-bernie-kosar-202516440.html Sports wagering is now legal in Ohio. If it wasn’t, Bernie Kosar would still have a relationship with the Browns. The team severed ties with Kosar after he acknowledged on social media that he placed a legal $19,000 bet on the Browns to beat the Steelers, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Kosar, a former Browns quarterback, tweeted that the Browns told him “my services are no longer desired or needed.” Kosar added that he’s “shocked and disappointed,” and that “Orange and brown is my life.” Kosar shouldn’t be surprised. The NFL doesn’t mess around with gambling. Jaguars receiver Calvin Ridley has found out the hard way. Jets receivers coach Miles Austin has found out the hard way. Kosar is the first non-player and non-coach to be attached to a gambling-related consequence. The real question is whether it would have been an issue if he didn’t make it known. And the deeper problem is that the NFL profits significantly from its relationships with sports books that its employees are strictly prohibited from utilizing.

calfoxwc Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 I can't imagine him not knowing that would be trouble with the NFL/browns. He probably didn't want to work with them anymore because of the stupidest trade the trade (entire draft) for Ricky Williams.... I think that was the worst. It's been a long time....

BrownsKidd Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 The open gambling world, at some point is going to shake all of pro sports. With Gambling legalized, it's going to corrupt these sports or lead to rampant speculation about games being rigged or being another form of pro wrestling. As Han Solo would say, "I have a bad feeling about this". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb12711 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Bernie obviously meant a lot for the Browns, but the dude clearly has his vices and shouldn’t be within any official capacity with the organization. We could have a good debate on if this matters, but I don’t have sympathy for the guy either. with the numerous outlets to talk sports nowadays, dude just needs to continue his podcast and sign autographs at the mall.

And Al Lerner used Kosar to gain the ownership bid, dropped him like a hot potato once it was awarded to him. I do think Kosar has his demons, self- inflicted ones. Still, he did more for CLE football than any suits & ties guys. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiamat63 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Bernie might not be employed directly by the Browns, but in any contractor role under an NFL organization, that means you're banned from legal gambling. It is what it is. However I'm positive this isn't a permanent thing. Actually, while it does suck, it's rather wise for the franchise to get ahead of any potential bad publicity. I've little doubt Bernie will be back with the team in some broadcasting capacity at the start of next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie was one of the highest paid QB's at one point in his career. Look, you've gotta know the rules to what you're getting in to. Just like you've gotta know the rules on the field. I like Bernie.

LMAO, our Browns are good at that, eh? I do agree with your post, though. Kosar did a fucktard thing in betting. I was just looking the inconsistent rules and who gets away with what part of.
