Steelers WR Germie Bernard clarifies that his name is actually pronounced“Jeremy.”
His Mom wasn’t sure how to spell the name so she wrote Germie on his birth certificate.
Minnesota has an opportunity tonight to accomplish something the entire hockey world will appreciate. Eliminate the Dallas Stars and send them home without a Stanley Cup once again. Keep the legacy of failure alive.
This is coming from a BYU fan who has never placed a bet in his life.
If the NCAA permanently bans Brendan Sorsby, I will be disgusted.
Not because gambling rules don’t matter. They do. Not because athletes should be allowed to bet on college sports. They shouldn’t.
But because there is a massive difference between protecting the integrity of the game and destroying a young man’s life over an addiction he is now getting treatment for.
By all current reporting, Sorsby did not bet on games he played in, did not bet against his own team, and there is no allegation that he tried to influence an outcome.
Meanwhile, college football has spent years finding ways for players with far uglier off-field issues to return to the field. And the same college sports ecosystem that lectures athletes about gambling has become increasingly entangled with sportsbooks, betting content, official data deals, and gambling-adjacent money.
So yes, punish him. Fine him. Suspend him. Require treatment. Require education. Put guardrails around him.
But a permanent ban?
That would not be justice. That would be the NCAA trying to look righteous by punishing him for participating in the exact betting culture that they have contributed in building.
I stand with Brendan.
So let me get this straight, a guy has a gambling problem for 4 years, but it only comes out from a non-NCAA investigation as soon as he gets to Texas Tech?
Weird stuff man. Hope Sorsby figures it out, he definitely won’t be taking snaps in a Texas Tech jersey
You know what’s insane to me about the Soresby situation…. Bro played all of Cincinnati without this coming out or anything being leaked. Someone’s out to get Texas Tech after 9 of our players were drafted.
Yes he self-admitted, but who’s to say he wasn’t forced to behind the scenes.
I think this all is a little sketchy imo that he lasts 3 years without this coming out and ALLLLL of a sudden when things go well for Texas Tech, something gets leaked.

Man feel bad for Texas Tech, gonna be without a starting QB and the NIL money gone, probably all on fanduel
This is why we need to regulate NIL, Texas Tech should be able to recover that NIL money that they spent on what should’ve been a great QB
NEW: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is taking a leave of absence from the football program for a gambling addiction, the school announced.
