Yeah, I figure the media wants to try to get some scandal on him before he leaves the league.
He acutally is involved in some real estate investments that include a venture building over the Uniroyal factory in Detroit in an effort to revamp downton Detroit. (I dont know thats possible).
I believe in a nutshell Bettis appealed to the Black/Minority caucus in PA to vote for the slots/gambling properties in the pretense the casinos would recognize and hire from the minority workforce.
After watching Celebrity Poker, I dont think Jerome should be doing any gambling himself, lol. But I see nothing wrong with his real estate holdings.

However, the league rules do clearly state there is to be no form of gambling, period. So we'll see where this goes. But it beats the **** out of him beating his girlfried, running over meter maids, smokin dope or killing folks at super bowls.
