Josh Shaw Put "Professional Football Player" As Occupation On Betting Account, Bet Against The Cardinals

The Josh Shaw betting news broke on Friday but didn't up leading to much. To be honest, it was kind of disappointing. I was hoping for a scandal, but it turned out to be kind of a non-story involving a player that wasn't really on the team. When I heard the initial news I was hoping it to turn into a Tim Donaghy like scandal. 

More info has come out on the exact situation that occurred. While Josh Shaw was on the IR, he went to Vegas with his boys. While there, he placed a wager against the Cardinals:


This was the only bet he placed. Apparently, Shaw thought because it was legal he could bet on it like any other American, which is kind of fair? Also, he lost the bet. That should lessen his suspension. 

Where Shaw messed up was he made it incredibly easy for Ceaser's, the Nevada Gaming Commission, and the NFL to find out that he placed the bet:


If I'm the XFL, I'm signing this guy tomorrow. He probably has the talent and you can also build him up as the bad boy that the NFL couldn't handle. Hell, have him gamble on all the games he's involved in.
