Wow, I am really in the minority here (maybe criticizing my position should now be considered Cletusphobia), because I don't think Pete Rose should have been banned for life, and I think the height of hypocrisy is the NFL showing no compassion for a kid that has a gambling addiction when the are raking in millions from allowing gambling on their games!
By the way, I believe betting on MLB was illegal when Pete Rose bet on it so that is a little different than the current NFL! Pete originally said he never bet on the Reds, then they dangled the possibility that if he admitted to gambling on the Reds they would let him into the HoF, so he did (true or not) and they used his confession to ban him forever!
