Summary
Citing Albert Breer, Ken and Anthony lay out the theory that the NFL knowingly picked a fight it might lose in court because making a statement on gambling and protecting its betting partnerships mattered more than the legal risk. They question why the league is handling this centrally instead of letting all 32 teams vet Sorsby's character the way they do every other draft prospect, and wonder if a contrition requirement even exists in the supplemental draft rules. A caller pushes back that the NFL is "holier than thou" given how it's handled other off-field issues, while still agreeing Sorsby has to be accountable for placing thousands of bets. Ken predicts the league drags this out until Sorsby simply gives up the fight and waits for the 2027 draft instead.
