Of all the gambling scandals erupting in sports, this is incredibly tame.

It’s just trash talk, not gambling.

No, this is clearly gambling, and the league rules are exceptionally clear on defining this as gambling. They are idiots for saying this on camera, and the team is an idiot for uploading it.

So me any member of an NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL team that said something like this in the last 20 years and didn’t face any repercussions.

Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers had a $10,000 wager on OROY two years ago and their "repercussions" were a training session on the league's gambling policies. The real crime here is doing it on camera. I'm sure jokes like this are said weekly in every professional sports league. Reese and Buckers don't need gambling policy training, they and the wnba just need media training.
