Are Hannika, Remsburg or Lee starters? Not familiar with them.
Yes. Well…Remsburg is when he’s healthy, and he is good when he‘s on the field. He has been banged up his entire career.

Hanika (TE) was a weapon last year. We do have quite a few TEs in the room though. At least 4 others. All pretty much unproven though.

Lee would a big blow to the defense.

With the names I have heard, if they are suspended for the year, I think we are lucky to win 1-2 games next year.
As someone else just said, if we can only win this many games down these guys we've got bigger problems. AND this long to prepare for the upcoming season. Dekkers was hit and miss last year. Brock hurt most of the season. Remsburg hurt. Deep at TE.

Dekkers, Brock, Hannika, Remsburg and Lee ?

Those are the names floating around right now.
Hannika has been tweeting motivational things about this season. Don't think he would be doing that if he was involved with this. Everyone thinks they have an "inside source" until that source is wrong. I expect the majority of people on this board with "inside sources" to be completely wrong.

Do you all realize that these Dekkers rumors could have been started by some Hawk fan on twitter. I could make a burner right now and say Cooper Dejean is involved with this at Iowa. Is he? 99% not but someone could tweet that and you all would believe it. Your "inside sources" probably heard it from their "inside sources" who heard it from another guy that just made it up. The speculation is honestly corny. Just wait for the list to come out, no reason to put guys names on blast for some things they might have no involvement with.

So how many inside sources

I was merely stating the names that have already been stated on this board and elsewhere by posters. I personally don’t have any great inside information on this.

Yep. IF those names are true, we’ll no doubt miss them but it doesn’t railroad the season. Especially considering this happened when it did and not in fall camp er something.

losing Jirehl railroaded last season, so yes losing all those guys would railroad this season.
You’re right but we also lost Norton as well. We needed either of them to have a competent run game and both were out most the year.

Fixing our OL issues will help combat Jirehl’s hypothetical suspension.

I’m not saying you’re wrong though. I’m always optimistic.

This gambling story - moreso than maybe any I can remember in CF's history - has taken on an amazing level of speculative storytelling. I realize it's a combination of what social media has done to society and the lack of concrete information out in the public realm, but some posts are next level Tom Clancy book worthy. We might even get a Jerry Bruckheimer movie out of this before the facts are released.

If his name isn't on the list, it is going to be Grade A comedy.

You made your point. Some of us know people that work in the Jacobsen building. I doubt they get their information from Twitter.

Then had to rely on a midget who only knew how to run into the backs of offensive linemen.

I’m considering only states where online sports gambling is legal because geolocation should prevent such gambling in states where it’s not legal.

If online sports betting is not legal in a state, yet it is occurring as you say, there is a problem with the gambling apps, and we are talking about a completely different issue, one that the FBI would be all over and your DraftKings, Caesers, etc would be completely ******.

Wisconsin is a “victim” of geography though. They border Iowa, Illinois and Michigan. All 3 have legal online sports betting. People in WI can have accounts, but they shouldn’t be able to place a bet while inside the WI border.
Between VPNs, local bookies who have existed forever, and sketchy websites it's REALLY easy to place bets without leaving the state. I promise you, these kids know how to do it.
