    Sports wagering is now legal in Ohio. If it wasn’t, Bernie Kosar would still have a relationship with the Browns.

    The team severed ties with Kosar after he acknowledged on social media that he placed a legal $19,000 bet on the Browns to beat the Steelers, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

    Kosar, a former Browns quarterback, tweeted that the Browns told him “my services are no longer desired or needed.” Kosar added that he’s “shocked and disappointed,” and that “Orange and brown is my life.”

    Kosar shouldn’t be surprised. The NFL doesn’t mess around with gambling. Jaguars receiver Calvin Ridley has found out the hard way. Jets receivers coach Miles Austin has found out the hard way.

    Kosar is the first non-player and non-coach to be attached to a gambling-related consequence. The real question is whether it would have been an issue if he didn’t make it known.

    And the deeper problem is that the NFL profits significantly from its relationships with sports books that its employees are strictly prohibited from utilizing.

          very bad move by Kosar. Legalizing sports betting is going to hurt a lot of folks who can't help themselves.

                Hell no.  And if he was so smart, he should’ve known Browns employees can’t bet on games.

                        I can't imagine him not knowing that would be trouble with the NFL/browns.

                        He probably didn't want to work with them anymore because of the stupidest trade the trade (entire draft)

                        for Ricky Williams.... I think that was the worst. It's been a long time....

                            The open gambling world, at some point is going to shake all of pro sports. With Gambling legalized, it's going to corrupt these sports or lead to rampant speculation about games being rigged or being another form of pro wrestling. As Han Solo would say, "I have a bad feeling about this".

                              Bernie obviously meant a lot for the Browns, but the dude clearly has his vices and shouldn’t be within any official capacity with the organization. We could have a good debate on if this matters, but I don’t have sympathy for the guy either.

                              with the numerous outlets to talk sports nowadays, dude just needs to continue his podcast and sign autographs at the mall.

                                    Legalizing sports betting is going to hurt a lot of folks who can't help themselves.

                                    Yup.  Lost 19k and his job.  Quite sad.

                                      Yep, that's about as two-faced as can be.

                                        Sure is especially in this case with Mr Bernie "Orange & Brown" Cleveland BROWN Kosar.  What a two-faced crock indeed.   Bernie gave up his body for the NFL and Cleveland BROWNS  ..... and this is how he gets paid off.   Geeezzz.

                                        GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

                                          Bernie said on his podcast, that technically he’s an independent contractor not a Browns employee. ?
