Sure feels like a lot more gambling among athletes is due to come out after the recent revelations from the state of Iowa.
Sports can't get as cozy with gambling as has been allowed to happen without this sort of thing becoming inevitable.

At some point, Pete Rose might come to be viewed as small potatoes and get reinstated.
