NFL suspends Cardinals' Josh Shaw through 2020 season for gambling on games

This is the epitome of a Friday afternoon news dump: the NFL sent an email announcement declaring that Arizona Cardinals defensive back Josh Shaw has been suspended through at least the end of the 2020 season.

The reason: Shaw had bet on NFL games on multiple occasions this season.

The announcement says “a league investigation uncovered no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way. Nor was there evidence suggesting any awareness by teammates, coaches or other players of his betting activity.”

There was also this statement from commissioner Roger Goodell:

“The continued success of the NFL depends directly on each of us doing everything necessary to safeguard the integrity of the game and the reputations of all who participate in the league.
