Come on, do you actually think he was the only one in on this? Obviously, this was an office pool, and he was the idiot that made the bet.....LOL

I'm not an online gambler. Isn't Kalshi just another betting site? And wouldn't he have to be an investor to make it insider trading? Asked some dumb guy....
Technically Kalshi is trading in options contracts. It’s “regulated” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, which is why they’re able to operate in every state and transact with 18 year olds.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. Before there was gambling, I was privy to many picks prior to them being made.
That's no longer the case, obviously, and me and BIL even talked about it and how it could happen. He said no chance he'd risk his career on doing something like that and that they'd likely catch on to it pretty quickly.

Teams pretty much know who's going to be there and when. This guy made a $25 parlay on the Cards first 5 picks. He knew those guys were going to be there and selected.

Fans are desperate for an ownership change... #bidwill

They were desperate BEFORE the team moved to AZ. People back then didn't want the Cards because of Bill Bidwill. This has been a running theme since before they even moved here.

FWIW, I am one of the few that think Michael's trying. It's just bad decisions, bad luck, and not having deep pockets that is holding him back. You don't switch out coaches this many times if you aren't desperate. Michael needs a GREAT GM. Not a good one. A great one. An Ozzie Newsome, John Lynch, etc. Someone that can build a franchise and a culture from the ground up. If Bill is going to ever spend his money excessively, he needs to get this one guy, with a proven track record, and hand over the keys to him. Cardinals need a rebranding, new culture, etc. They need excitement. When is the last time anyone felt excited, really excited about the Cards? Kurt Warner's era?

He has needed to step back for a long time now. Step back and let true football people run the football operations. These family run teams usually have someone in the family that feels they are a football person just because they have been around the team most of their life. There's a big difference.
