00:00Terry Rozier arrested this morning by the FBI, along with, how about this, Chauncey Billups, also arrested.
00:07Joe Ranieri, I know you're pretty plugged into these type of things.
00:10What do you think is actually going on right now between the NBA and the FBI?
00:14Well, it sounds like, and reports are coming out now, that there has been a big investigation by the FBI, the NYPD, and the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's Office
00:26surrounding a gambling ring of some sort, because they're also getting ready to tell us at this press conference
00:35that members and associates of organized crime groups are among about a dozen or so people expected to be facing charges
00:43in addition to the two separate illegal gambling-related cases, one involving Rozier, and now one involving the Portland Trailblazers head coach, Chauncey Billups,
00:54who, by the way, apparently they're saying this is not related to any games in which he was a coach.
01:02So that is interesting. We'll see what that means coming up.
01:07Yeah, it looks like we're going to get a report here at 10 a.m. Eastern, where the FBI is going to announce,
01:11because we don't know exactly what the specifics are. They're not going to spill all the tea on the police.
01:14Give us a heads up. Is it where they were participating in games and legally throwing games?
01:18It was like a Pete Rose situation where you're managing a basketball team, and you say,
01:22hey, this guy's injured. Let me get that information out. He's not going to play what nobody else knows.
01:26Or it just could be bankrolling the funds here for these widespread or bringing in clients who are big bettors
01:32and taking a percentage. We don't know. We're just speculating right now.
01:35But interesting times where we're not even at 9 a.m. Eastern on a Thursday, multiple people already being arrested by the FBI.
01:42We'll keep you up to date on all the latest, so make sure you keep the dial right here on the Sports Grid Network.
01:47When that information comes out, we're certainly going to be able to deliver that to you live.
