Description

BT & Sal react live to the explosive FBI announcement detailing a "sweeping criminal enterprise" that includes the arrests of NBA coach Chauncey Billups and guard Terry Rozier, along with members of the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese crime families. The hosts slam the compromised integrity of sports, discussing how prop bets and high-tech rigged poker games were used to defraud millions. They call for "zero tolerance" from all leagues, comparing the scandal to the notorious Tim Donaghy incident, and question the wisdom of the NCAA's new rule allowing college athletes to bet on pro sports. The sheer scale of the fraud—involving wire fraud, extortion, and rigging games across eleven states—is dissected, leading to the devastating question: How many painful losses over the years were actually a fix?
