Pete Rose may be the most famous athlete suspended for betting on games, but the NFL has had its share of gamblers over the years.On Monday, another player joined the infamous ranks of NFL players that have bet on the league's games. That would be Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley.Ridley was suspended indefinitely for betting on Tobias Harris Jersey NFL contests during the 2021 NFL season. The NFL prohibits all NFL personnel from placing wagers on games, and commi sioner Roger Goodell said in a statement that Ridley "put the integrity of the game at risk."There is nothing more fundamental to the NFL's succe s and to the reputation of everyone a sociated with our league than upholding the integrity of the game. This is the responsibility of every player, coach, owner, game official, and anyone else employed in the league. Your actions put the integrity of the game at risk, threatened to damage public confidence in profe sional football, and potentially undermined the reputations of your fellow players throughout the NFL.Now, Ridley will become just the fifth player in NFL history to sit out a season for gambling-related reasons. Here's who Ridley will join on the ignominious list, which dates all the way back to 1963.MORE: How does Calvin Ridleys suspension compare to these other NFL players accused of violent crimes? Many will recognize Karras' name not from his NFL playing days, but from his days as an actor. He starred as Mongo in "Blazing Saddles" and had major roles in the 1980s sitcom "Webster" and 1982 movie musical "Victor/Victoria."Before any of that happened, Karras was a defensive tackle for the Lions who was an AP All-Pro in two of his first five NFL seasons. He also became one of the first two players suspended for gambling in NFL history.Karras mi sed the 1963 season after admitting to placing "at least a half dozen $50-$100 bets," ."I made a terrible mistake," Karras said. "I am truly sorry."The Hall of Famer returned to the Lions in 1964 and played seven more seasons with the team before retiring. He had one of the greatest quips in NFL history during his first season back in Detroit after being asked to call the opening coin to s."I'm sorry, sir," Karras told the official, per ESPN. "I'm not permitted to gamble." Karras wasn't the only player suspended for the 1963 season. Paul Hornung, the Kawhi Leonard Jersey 1961 NFL MVP, was also banned from the league for a year after then-commi sioner Pete Rozelle revealed Hornung had bet "up to $500" on NFL games, per ESPN.Hornung was reinstated into the NFL along with Karras in 1964 Rodney McGruder Jersey . The "Golden Boy" played three more seasons for the Packers, totaling 1,540 scrimmage yards and 18 touchdowns before a neck injury forced him to retire. He was on the Packers' Super Bowl I-winning team but didn't play because of a pinched nerve.Though his reputation and career weren't hurt by his suspension, Hornung was retrospectively angry about his suspension when asked about it in 2012."You know what, looking back it just pi ses you off," . "I knew 10 other guys who bet. They didn't get them all in my day. I wasn't going to say anything, naturally. But I knew the guys who were betting. They'd brag about it and talk about it. Even back then, they didn't get everybody who was guilty."There was no use in me causing a stir by saying there were other guys who weren't caught that I knew were gambling. Sure, it was more of a, I don't know, a friendship deal where you'd bet $50 or $100, an insignificant amount. There was nobody betting enough money to throw a game or anything like that. That never happened."MORE: Schlichter was selected by the Baltimore Colts with the fourth overall pick in the 1982 NFL Draft. His career went downhill quickly, as fourth-round pick Mike Pagel beat him for a starting job and Schlichter got deep into gambling debt.During his college days, and later, other sporting events.

That led NFL commi sioner Pete Rozelle to suspend him for the 1983 season."Schlichter will not be reinstated until the league can be solidly a sured that the serious violations of cardinal NFL rules he has committed will not be repeated," Rozelle said.Schlichter nearly returned to the NFL in 1987 when the Bengals wanted to sign him as a backup to Boomer Esiason. However, Schlichter had been arrested in January for running an illegal, multimillion-dollar sports betting operation. Rozelle vetoed the deal, as a result, and Schlichter never returned to the NFL.The CFL and the AFL both gave Schlichter a chance, and he won Arena Bowl IV after an MVP season in 1990. However, he eventually retired from the AFL after betting on some of its games.Schlichter has spent much of his life in and out of prison Montrezl Harrell Jersey as a result of his gambling addiction, which he addre sed ."This addiction has taken everything I've ever loved or owned in my life," Schlichter said from his prison quarters in Medaryville. "I don't have anybody to blame but myself."Most recently, Schlichter spent 10 years in prison from 2011 to 2021 due to gambling-related theft charges. The NFL's most recent gambling suspension prior to Ridley came in 2019 when Roger Goodell suspended then-Cardinals defensive back Josh Shaw for betting on games.Shaw was on IR in 2019 when he went to a Las Vegas casino and placed bets of an undisclosed amount on several sporting events.
