BREAKING: @OTLonESPN obtains previously undisclosed evidence that Pete Rose bet on Reds games he played in during 1986 season.
 
Is it any worse than betting on games that he managed?

I think a manager has a greater impact on a game than 1 player

ESPN is pretty bush for this IMO

Just put Pete in the Hall and let the man live out the rest of his time on earth
 
Did he bet for them to win or lose? That makes a difference to me - not to his HoF chances though.

I think he always bet for them to win, but I haven't bothered to read through this **** today and I won't either.

I'm glad y'all brought up ESPN's BS before I did because when I heard about this I just chuckled. Great timing on their part (as usual) to put this out there when it's convenient. 

F them and their wack *** news cycle. Transparent as hell.

Even if he bet on them to win, if spreads were
Involved the entire game is compromised. Dude has lied so many times, blows me away Nati people defend him when he has made the Reds fans look foolish so many times
 
ESPN petty as hell.

I see dude all the time @ Mandalay Bay and he always looks depressed.

Leave Pete alone, dammit.
 
He's at Caesars a couple times a week at a sports shop. Sits there and waits for peeps to pay cash to sign something
 
Damn Pete walking around different places in LV looking down :smh:

Well, he signs autographs out here pretty frequently but I never see people actually getting stuff signed, :lol:

Now Tyson on the other hand...

Looks like a Retro XI campout everytime he's @ Cesars.

Saw him in Vegas once at a sports shop. Can't remember where it was but I was tempted to just give him a $100 bill and not ask for anyhing. Looked like he could use it more than me. :/
 
Na, Pete does well for himself financially.

I think the fact that baseball acts like he doesn't exist is the reason dude always looks down.

:lol:

Saw him outside of the M&M store and he looked real down....
he must've been sad he had nothing to bet on.

From the True Hoop section of ESPN on Scottie Pippen....

News of Pippen's imminent financial demise hardly surprise. Rather, it calls to mind the absolute coolest Jordan story I'd ever been told -- courtesy of the AP's Jim Litke, the George Washington on my sports journalism Mt. Rushmore. That said, I take everything Jim says as gospel, this story especially. It starts with Jordan shooting around at practice at old Chicago Stadium when he looks up and notices the m&m race on the jumbotron. Curious, he asks one of the Bulls' staffers what's up and learns what he is seeing is actually a dry run-through of the night's in-game entertainment, in which the jumbotron and m&m race factor prominently. (I'm pretty sure this was before shooting t-shirts out of an air cannon captivated a nation.) Naturally, MJ wanted to know if the winner of the race was predetermined. Of course the 8-bit graphics betrayed the answer: a resounding "yes".

So later that night, Phil calls a time out and Jordan & co. repair to the bench. As he's sitting down, he looks up at the jumbotron to see the m&m race about to start. So he nudges Scottie.

MJ: "Bet you 5 grand yellow takes this."

Pip: "Bet."

I'm told this went on for years before Scottie ever got wise...
