Bernie Kosar Removed from Cleveland Browns Pregame Radio Show Over Gambling

Bernie Kosar was fired from the Cleveland Browns pregame radio show because he bet $19,000 on the Browns. He violated the league's gambling rules. The team released a statement explaining the situation. Calvin Ridley was suspended for a season for gambling. New York Jets wide receiver Calvin Riddick is appealing the suspension. Kosara still has his own show. It's not likely he'll be working for the team for long. His dismissal was completely avoidable.
