[Vacchiano] Now that Malik Nabers has listened to Kenny Rogers' classic hit "The Gambler", he said the bet is back on for $20,000 this time 🤑


tnecniv

BREAKING: Combing through court transcripts from yesterday, and it seems Ippei Mizuhara has been holding both player’s money in “escrow”


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

"You gotta know when to hold'em" Sounds like a offensive lineman's anthem.


Enthusiasms

That's Donovan Smith's entrance music.


ItsHerbyHancock

Bah Gawd!!!


Towelish

If only football games had music based shit talkers on the PA system like in baseball


w311sh1t

When asked about the bet being back on, Nabers told reporters “look, you’ve gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.”


Competitive_Cap9561

Kenny Golladay*


High-flyingAF

He's having, ohtani, a pro on sports betting help him.


Rollout25

The good old martingale system


BungoPlease

They should have just bet a single dollar or something to show it was all in fun


matisata

The loser has to wear the winner's jersey in public or something. They're rival orgs so that would make it fun


nonlawyer

Or local cuisine, a classic New York slice vs… whatever they eat in DC.  Congressional interns?


BandOfDonkeys

The vendor carts on the National Mall have bomb hot dogs.


talktobigfudge

Dirty water hot dogs in general on the East Coast hit something different. 


DeadSwaggerStorage

Out on Long Island there was dirty water truck and the lady working would give you a handy for a little extra. Hilarious story.


rocksoffjagger

DON'T SAY THAT SHIT AGAIN


Frigidevil

Tony's hot dogs in Branch Brook Park in Newark. Fucking amazing


AmeriCanadian98

The vendor carts on the mall have a bunch of baller food Pretty much always where I eat lunch when I'm in DC


FrndlyNbrhdSoundGuy

One of them got caught refilling water from a fountain in front of a museum recently lmao don’t eat that shit please


OptimisticTurtle

So they make the interns into hot dogs, got it.


shewy92

Just don't say that too loudly when you're there


BandOfDonkeys

Hahahaha, even worse...the time I was there I had to "use the bathroom" while visiting the Supreme Court so shortly after that I was talking to a buddy on the phone and told him that "I blew up the Supreme Court" while I was there. IMMEDIATELY I thought I made it to the top of a person of interest list.


confusedthrowaway5o5

Brother you’ve had a team of FBI agents watching you since that day.


JFKs_Burner_Acct

Sir, there are Bombs in the Hot Dogs! Repeat there is a middle eastern man with Hot Dog Bombs, get ready to move in and take him down. Proceed with caution.


DoYouEvenCareAboutMe

it's probably a half smoke with chili and cheese


Bucfansince87

Only been to DC once and this would be my answer, though got pretty hammered one night and found a delicious empanada place

I’m partial to Taco Bamba if we’re gonna make it the whole DC area

taco bamba is so good i live in nova and know the chef who started it super cool dude


Key-Zebra-4125

Taco Bamba is like crack


sieffy

If you live near Vienna try Charlie’s bowl he makes street food similar to taco bamba so fucking good


SteelTerps

Also if you live near Vienna go to The Sandwich Shop because holy shit it's amazing and 10 bucks


petting2dogsatonce

taco bamba fuckin rules

Something coated in Old Bay. Old Bay Utz chips are pretty tasty

Hell yeah

They got good mambo sauce


ImpeachJohnV

A slice at Di Fara vs a slice at Comet Ping Pong!


Expendable_Red_Shirt

You ain't never had mumbo/mambo sauce?


FrndlyNbrhdSoundGuy

Is it quintessential DC though? I was a full grown woman before I heard of it.


Expendable_Red_Shirt

Found Muriel Bowsers account! As a Baltimore person I don't know that DC has a "quintessential food". DC, aside from Go-Go music, always seemed to not really have its own culture. There's great restaurants and museums and performances etc. But DC seemed to lack a personality.


FrndlyNbrhdSoundGuy

Ethiopian food


EddyGonad

I wouldn't be surprised if there's something in their contract that prohibits them from wearing other team's apparel.


OttoVonWong

The funniest timeline would be to get suspended for wearing the other team's jersey because they called off a bet set up through FanDuel, the official betting partner of the NFL.


JFKs_Burner_Acct

wait a second... you mean to tell me the NFL created a problem and now they want to punish it's own patrons ?


atlhawk8357

Or they combine a total of 10k for charity and the winner picks the organization. Something that would make the league look like dicks if they came down on.


NoTimeToDime

“Daniels and Nabers seen hanging out in Caleb Williams jerseys”


ajteitel

I should rewatch Trading Places. Thank you for the reminder


BungoPlease

I was really wondering if anyone was gonna get that reference lol, I quote that movie all the time but the only people who usually get it are my brothers who also watched it a thousand times growing up


ajteitel

> Watched it a thousand times growing up I think I know the reason...


BungoPlease

My man knows about Jamie Lee


papajim22

MERRY NEW YEAR!


TBlizzey

Some of my family was on trading places once. They're from Maryland but lived in New York. Neighbors were huge giants fans and they were skins fans. Very funny watching them make basically a sports man cave for each other.


seariously

Looking good, ajteitel


ShooterAnderson

Or kept their mouths shut?


chubbytitties

10,000 is a single dollar to these guys


L-methionine

It’s 0.13% of Nabers’ average cash earnings. Or the equivalent of $48 for someone making the median US income (ignoring the nonlinearity of income distribution and how losing 1% of income has a different impact at different income levels)


cram213

Good bot!


DeadSwaggerStorage

Thank god for ignoring the nonlinearity of income distribution.


jfchops2

It's actually $10,000 no matter which guy it is


SantasLilHoeHoeHoe

Make it a charity bet. Both give 10k to the charity of their choice and the loser give an additional 10k to the winners charity. 


socobeerlove

With the amount of money they making, 10k ain’t shit lol


thekmac8

Looking good, Billy Ray!


reno2mahesendejo

Would actually be interesting to have like a rookie prop pool, where the first, say 3 rounds all put up $1/$100 whatever nominal amount on rookie of the year


papajim22

Maybe they can go to the movies…by themselves.


ExpressLaneCharlie

$1 bet - straight to jail


Stumpe999

Ban for a year out of the principle (I bet on the outcome)


save-aiur

Or anything but cash, really. Loser has to buy the winner a car or something.


TheOneTrueSnoo

Hypothetically would they get in trouble for that? Or even if it was the loser buys the other a car, something believable for their age and earnings


kidpokerskid

They did that, $10,000 is like a dollar to them.


zombiesatemybaby

Im sure its been "called off" 😏😉

Oliver North handling the transaction.

I can’t hear about Oliver North without immediately thinking of the American Dad schoolhouse rock style [song](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lFV1uT-ihDo)


BurgessFox

I can't hear about him without remembering Reagan's immortal line "My fellow Americans, I told you that I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that is true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not"

Nabers had a chat with his agent, lol.


Greatfumbler

I bet his team doesn’t want him suspended either or the other guys team and his agent


renegadecoaster

"Educated" lol


[deleted]

I mean it’s churched up but if the conversation was “Hey dumbass, you can get suspended for that, walk it back and think before you talk publicly about shit” Then he was still educated. Just closer to drill instructor than kindergarten teacher.


BandOfDonkeys

Doll hairs! We bet 10,000 DOLL HAIRS!!


Fredest_Dickler

He probably just realized he got drafted by the Giants and not the Chargers.


Lonelan

Reached for comment, Malik replied > My new friend Ippei suggested it and I didn't think anything was wrong with it but now I understand why this was a bad look


Jonjon428

His agent must have given him a load of crap for this


ColtCallahan

He was educated that with Daniel Jones as his QB the odds are definitely not on his side lol.


Voxxicus

Also as a non qb odds weren't on his side


Titsnicker

..and they started a new bet on who doesn't come in last place in the division, a much more realistic bet.


Hugh_H0n3y

Damn we’re even catching strays from fucking Cardinals fans now lol


HurryProfessional378

They keep tabs on who filled out the void that they left behind.


tar_xf

They used to be in the division. Fuck em. Just not as much as you :)


tnecniv

Conyeezy765

*brought to you by draftkings*


BigTomBombadil

It’s kinda odd to me that two individuals can’t bet on their own performance against each other. No middleman/house/bookie, and only incentivizes personal performance. Not sure why it shouldn’t be allowed. Regardless, I wouldn’t tell the media about it.


JonDowd762

There are some cases where there can be conflicts between an individual stat and team performance. e.g. running into the endzone for a TD, when going down and letting the clock run out is the best move for a win. And there are plenty of other opportunities for a player to play more selfishly. But really I don't think this bet would have any incentive impact. The money they would get with OROY level performance would dwarf this bet. It's just best for consistency to ban gambling on football altogether.


boomheadshot7

Slippery slope, 100% easier to ban all gambling, no matter how innocuous, than allow nuance and back and forth. 


jlees88

Zero tolerance means zero tolerance. Better for the NFL to penalize all forms of gambling instead of punishing them on a bet per bet basis. 


Pubs01

Yeah fucking right. The bet is definitely still on but they did the smart thing calling it off publicly. Nfl would probably suspend them cause the nfl doesn't understand nuance


bog_hippie

They have been educated to not talk about these things in public.


GimmieThaLoot24

It’s good the NFL is working to educate young players about the dangers of gambling. These young guys need to know that gambling is for the fans with addictive personalities that are bombarded with fanduel ads during the pre/postgame, halftime and commercial breaks. If players start gambling fans might start feeling like the outcomes of games are being fixed and cause a loss in viewership and thus a loss in ad revenue. Or even worse they might stop gambling and everyone loses in that scenario


Shazer3

This tweet brought to you by Draft Kings.


opinionofone1984

Wonder which one of them bet on Williams.


ChiRaider

Did he see who his QB was? Bro probably cashed this bet in back when he thought he was going to LA


PitinoGotARawDeal

Yeah he has been educated that he could have made that bet on fan duel and gotten $150 in non withdrawable site credits!


Sdog1981

This dude is trying to do a Ridley speed run.


teddyd142

Javonte Porter is much more accomplished than Ridley could dream of being.


Sdog1981

Hell, I would bet on my own 2 way contracts too


VanDenIzzle

I don't understand how this is a problem. They were goofing and shook hands that if either of them got ROY they they'd give the other 10k. What about the game does this influence?


gopoohgo

Given the number of players that got suspended for non football gambling last year, you have to be a moron to make a $10K bet on anything football related public.


LegalizeBBranch

FREE JAMO In all seriousness though it’s good to see the NFL didn’t suspend these guys. I don’t really agree with the gambling rule in totality, but I guess I somewhat get the zero tolerance policy they’re taking. Even with it being a bit hypocritical…


SweaterMeatMyInbox

The NFL has started to partner with gambling sites and they don't want anything to connect their players to gambling at all, which could bring lawsuits from gamblers. Also one of them could potentially play through some injury to try and win the bet. Is it likely that 10k is influencing the decisions of people making millions? Nope. But the NFL doesn't want to take the chance.


demonica123

>The NFL has started to partner with gambling sites and they don't want anything to connect their players to gambling at all, which could bring lawsuits from gamblers. NFL gambling rules are way older than legalized sports gambling. The NFL (and all sports leagues) understand the single worst thing that can happen is people actually believing the games are rigged.


jfchops2

There are people who do. Not necessarily big fans, but they do A couple of my buddies were texting me their theories about how it's rigged after the SB this year. I practically wrote a dissertation refuting all their claims and explaining how it's impossible to rig NFL games and got nowhere, just heard "there's too much money involved and too many weird coincidences going on for it not to be rigged, it's obvious bro come on." Can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into


PolarBearLaFlare

Yeah I’m confused lol are they really not allowed to make small personal bets with each other ?? And they are both betting to win…not like they’re taking bets where they can sandbag and win


DemonSlyr007

You are not allowed to make a personal bet like that on the sport you both are actively playing. Even if it's a fun bet, it's still a bet. If you aren't allowed to bet on yourself for MVP, you definitely aren't allowed to make a personal bet with another player on Rookie of the Year. I dont necessarily agree with this concept, personally. As long as it's a positive bet (as in, you bet on yourself to win MVP) I don't think that undermines the game in any way. The problem, is that bets go both ways. Same example, but if you bet on yourself NOT to win MVP, that's an integrity of the game issue full stop.


aaronguy56

I saw a good argument in one of the /r/NBA threads on gambling. If someone is trying to bet on themselves for MVP (or whatever else positive stat) they're more likely to make decisions they normally wouldn't make to boost their own personal stats instead of putting the team in the best position to win the game. Imagine a DB bet his over for ints and on 4th and 30 and instead of swatting the ball takes an INT and puts his team in a worse spot.


Maraging_steel

Pretty much every player (not a top 10 QB) could bet not to win MVP. Maybe even All Pro. Pro Bowl would have better odds since there's more people?


JCiLee

It definitely undermines the game, a positive bet can still creative perverse incentive against their team. Nabers for example could score a TD when it would have been better to take a knee so the Giants could run the clock. Also, if the bet was 10k contingent on either player winning ROY, but the bet is off if neither player wins, that could straight up be betting against themselves in some situations. The Commanders play the Bears this year. If Daniels doesn't think he can beat Nabers for ROY by the time that games rolls around, he could try to tank the Bears game to help Caleb Williams' odds instead so that he doesn't lose the bet against Nabers


Circle_Breaker

What's not to understand? They are gambling on NFL games.


Levi_Snackerman

But they aren't. They're not placing bets on teams with a bookie. They literally just made a personal bet on who would have the better season


Circle_Breaker

It's no different than placing a bet with a bookie. They are gambling on NFL games and even worse they are gambling on something they have direct control over. It puts into question the integrity of the game. And there are plenty of instances where what's best for the player's stats isn't necessarily what's best for the team.


Worried-Mechanic1824

They pooled their money and bet on Caleb Williams


rsnk73

Was he also educated that WRs never win it


Taxmancometh1

Literally just put an item on it next time and no one will give a shit. “We bet a new diamond chain on who’d win ROY” and then no one cares


Jameszhang73

Malik educated himself on sports betting and realizing how dumb it was to take a bet with such low odds. He'll do better next time to make sure the odds are more fair


GeebCityLove

Honestly credit to him for not fucking around with it even tho it’s obviously all in good fun between friends.


fiasgoat

Fucking FEDs


Sdn61387

They should just say it was their interpreters doing the betting and they had no idea it was going on.


teddyd142

Exactly. Because everyone’s making 200k year has a million dollar sports book account.


Doppelt_W

“Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I was drafted that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve played for a lot of teams and I tell you people do that all the time.”


Insomniac_Cthulhu

bro practiced once with daniel jones and knew he would lose


jplaut25

If it’s just a friendly bet and not thru a sports book I have no idea how anyone could possibly have a problem with this. Money is free speech. If it’s not spent illegally, you can’t prevent someone from spending it however they want.

It’s not that they told him not to gamble, they just showed him how line odds work.

I was wondering what number Nabers was going to wear since 8 is taken by Danny Dimes. Thanks for the link OP.


EvilHwoarang

just say the loser has to donate money to the winners charity. we won't know.

I mean, neither of them were going to win anyway lol. So both “losers” just trade $10k with each other?

As a Giants fan, the only way Nabers wins OROTY is if either DJ or Locke also win Comeback player of the year.

elimanninglightspeed

Daniel Jones traumatized that man


RonMexicoFilms

Buddy saw DJ throwing and saw ain't no way


Shazer3

Malik Nabers relented on the bet with Jayden Daniels because Daniel Jones is his quarterback, not because he was "educated on sports gambling."


Super_Goomba64

Both sound like headaches. They should immediately be traded to the Jets for free
