Justin Tucker, Luka Trade Negotiations, Terry Rozier, Ump Pat Hoberg, and SB Picks
On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) and Mike Kravchenko (Find him on YouTube) share a review of some of the top stories in what might be the busiest start to a sports law year ever. The duo kicks off the episode by breaking down the shocking allegations against Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, as multiple massage therapists have accused him of misconduct. The NFL has launched an investigation, and the team discusses potential legal consequences, league discipline, and how the NFL will handle yet another personal conduct case involving a high-profile player. Next, the focus shifts to the Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade negotiations, exploring the Lakers' vision in acquiring Luka and what the heck the Mavs were thinking here. From the NBA to gambling concerns, the duo unpacks the federal investigation into Terry Rozier and his possible connection to a sports betting ring. With Jontay Porter’s lifetime ban still fresh, the discussion explores the NBA’s stance on gambling violations, the broader risks of betting scandals, and the future of sports integrity policies. Then, the episode shifts to MLB’s gambling crackdown, as umpire Pat Hoberg was fired following a league investigation into betting violations. While MLB found no evidence he bet on baseball, the league upheld his termination, reinforcing its strict policies on gambling. The team discusses what this means for officiating standards and whether Hoberg has a path back to the league. Finally, the duo closes things out with Super Bowl picks, analyzing the key matchups, betting angles, and legal implications of sports betting expansion ahead of the biggest game of the year.
