Court documents revealed Brendan Sorsby's wide-ranging gambling habits⬇️
"Across the 2022-2025 seasons, Mr. Sorsby placed thousands of bets on everything and anything. These bets weren't for the purpose of making money.
He bet on things like games in the Turkish basketball league, Romanian soccer games, obscure doubles tennis matches and Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest."

@JoeA_NFL@The_Chauncey@grantw1010 If a client came to me and said “hey they’re falsely accusing me of having a drug problem, what should I do?”
You know what I wouldn’t recommend? “Hey let’s get you checked into the place where people with drug problems go and tell everyone!”
@JoeA_NFL@The_Chauncey@grantw1010 No, but when a millionaire checks himself into a rehabilitation center for a month, he probably has a gambling problem.
@JoeA_NFL@The_Chauncey@grantw1010 I disagree with your classification of “Crux.”
If he gets banned it’s for betting illegally (underage) and on his own team—not because he bet on baseball games.
The baseball part is being discussed because it highlights how much of a gambling problem he had.
@JoeA_NFL@The_Chauncey@grantw1010 Correct, but we normally debated pretty balanced polices. This is obvious
It skews the integrity of the games.
If a player knows they are 20+ points better than their opponent next week, why not try to keep the game closer this week so Vegas gives you a lesser line to cover.
@The_Chauncey@JoeA_NFL@grantw1010 I’ll do it for both of you since nobody wants to actually go pull it for some reason lol
NCAA Bylaw 10.3 you goofballs
@The_Chauncey@JoeA_NFL@grantw1010 It takes a lot to get me to agree with a Longhorn but Dave is 100% correct from both a policy and legal perspective here lol
I’m gonna assume it’s just good rage bait from Joe though given the sarcastic attempt to flex a medium sized amount of money like this
@Evan_P_Grant For 4 years the Rangers have refused to walk the opposing team’s best hitters who uniquely DESTROY the Rangers and every single time it has cost them majorly
I’ll never understand it
@Dee25TH @PeteThamel The Feds move differently. They’ve probably had enough evidence to arrest him for months—they typically wait until they’ve completely built their case before arresting and charging you
