Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was among the group of five players in the NFL to be suspended for violating the league’s gambling policy. The former Alabama standout’s representation released a statement confirming his six-game suspension while outlining more details about the situation.
Alliance Sports shared a memo on behalf of Williams, as relayed by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, explaining that the violation was not for the act of gambling, but instead where the gambling took place.

New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes got what could be the best compliment a hockey player could ever receive, and it came from the Great One himself, Wayne Gretzky.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs have not been kind to Hughes’ Devils through two games, as they currently trail the New Rangers 2-0. It’s been a lopsided opening-round series, with the Rangers outscoring the Devils 10-2, after winning both games in New Jersey by a score of 5-1.
This all makes anyone who picked the Devils in their bracket *sheepishly raises hand* look like a complete and utter doofus.
Did the Cardinals just figure out how to use Photoshop?
At long last, a national nightmare came to an end yesterday: the Arizona Cardinals revealed new uniforms that would replace the old panel uniforms they wore from 2005 to the current day.
However, once the jerseys were released, the results were…underwhelming, to say the least.

Nike’s infatuation with minimalism on jerseys and giant slanted font on the front of the jerseys will be the end of me.
On the cusp of a featherweight title shot, Aaron Pico sustained a shoulder injury last October at Bellator 286. He dislocated his shoulder on his very first punch, and though he finished the round, he was not allowed to start the second. The bout ended via doctor stoppage, and was awarded to Jeremy Kennedy by TKO.
“On paper, he won,” says Pico (10–4). “We all know it wasn’t legit. A win is a win, but nobody in their right mind would say he outclassed me. I truly believe I would have won that fight with one arm, but the referee wouldn’t let me. I’ll see him again.
After a well-traveled professional hockey career that included two NHL seasons, Jim McTaggart spent five years working for Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment in British Columbia. It owned and operated several professional sports franchises, including the Canucks.
Vancouver had never won a Stanley Cup. But the franchise did reach three finals, losing in 1982, ’94 and 2011. Along the way, the closest big-time hockey team to Seattle picked up a larger and international fan base addendum. Emerald City residents had no other driveable option.
The Celtics and Nuggets are both in position to take 3–0 series leads over their first-round opponents Friday night on the road.
Boston, the No. 2 seed in the East, is favored to beat the Hawks in Atlanta. And Denver, the No. 1 seed in the West, is also giving points to the Timberwolves in Minnesota. A 3–0 lead has historically been insurmountable in the NBA: Teams that take a three-game lead are 147–0 all-time.
The Hawks and T-Wolves are surely aware of that damning stat as they look to make a stand in front of their respective fans this evening.
Five players have been suspended after an investigation proved they violated the NFL’s gambling policy.
From the Lions, 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill were suspended six games for their involvement. Additionally from Detroit, both wideout Quintez Cephus and defensive back C.J. Moore were banned indefinitely, along with defensive end Shaka Toney of the Commanders.
Fantasy impact: Jameson Williams was expected to be sleeper in 2023
Last year, it was former Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley who was suspended for the season, before being traded to the Jaguars.
Following an NFL investigation, the Detroit Lions have cut wideout Quintez Cephus as well as safety C.J. Moore for gambling on NFL games during the 2022 season.
“As a result of an NFL investigation, it came to our attention that a few of our players had violated the league’s gambling policy,” said Detroit General Manager Brad Holmes. “These players exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules.”
“We have made the decision to part ways with Quintez and C.J. immediately,” added Holmes.
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson made news this week for an unfortunate incident on the golf course in which his cart flipped over in a sand trap while he was looking for his golf ball.
Wilson was not hurt in the incident.
His new coach, Sean Payton, held a pre-draft press conference to discuss the team’s progress this offseason, and didn’t shy away from an opportunity to take a playful jab at his starting quarterback.
“I don’t want the players to feel like they’re pulling into the parking lot coming to football practice in April,” Payton began.
The NFL suspended four Lions players—wide receivers Quintez Cephus, Stanley Berryhill and Jameson Williams and safety C.J. Moore—on Friday for violating the league’s gambling policy.
However, while Cephus and Moore were suspended indefinitely through at least the conclusion of the 2023 season for betting on NFL games, Berryhill and Williams received six-game suspensions for other-gambling policy violations that include placing wagers “from a NFL facility on non-NFL games.
