FBI Raid on the NBA: The House of Cards is Collapsing!
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
BT and Sal dive into the exploding NBA gambling scandal, with federal indictments ensnaring player Terry Rozier and others, asking if this is the final straw for the booming sports betting industry. They furiously debate the NBA's oversight, questioning if the leagues are capable of policing themselves, especially given past scandals like Tim Donaghy and the Black Sox.
The hosts argue that rigging a game (point shaving/prop betting) is a far greater offense to the fan's trust than steroids, and they discuss whether a "surface level" league investigation into Rozier's actions was enough. Finally, they cover the defense's claim of "political grandstanding" by the FBI and consider the sobering thought: does gambling's deep history in sports mean the integrity of the game has been questionable for over a century?
