Way to go, Dad.
Vegas had two bettors place a $2,000 preseason Heisman bet on Joe Burrows at 200/1 odds. One of those bettors was Jim Burrows, Joe’s Dad. pic.twitter.com/1AbSonehSw

Nobody said a father’s love can’t turn a profit.

As long as Joe doesn’t profit of Joe, Mark is ok with that.

So I’m expecting the NCAA to make Burrow ineligible for the playoffs, right?

Rory McIlroy’s father did something similar. Before he turned pro, his father bet £200 his son would win the Open in a 1-year period. In 2014, he collected $171k.

Insider trading, imo, Burrows knew about the impact Brady was bringing to the LSU offense. He was seeing it in closed practices before they thumped Ga Southern in the opener. 🙂 Good on him to believe in his son. That payoff will pail to what Junior will get in April/May from some team owner. (Pops may want to use some of the cash to buy an insurance policy on him, he still has 2 games to play, unless he decides to sit them out. JK.)

Are we sure this is true? Can’t find any other reporting on it, and the guy calls his dad “Burrows”.
