After more social media jabs over the Manziel-Sanders stats debate, Lima pitches a genuinely bizarre solution to the sports gambling problem: let athletes bet on themselves as long as every wager is made fully public, comparing it to tracking congressional stock trades. Ken immediately pokes holes in the idea, pushing Lima on bet minimums, maximums, and whether prop bets like Shedeur's passing yar...
