What hath Tony Romo wrought?

Ever since the NFL put the clamps on the Cowboys quarterback’s fantasy football convention, the league seems to be on the warpath for any casino-related activities.

According to Nick Sortal of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the league told three Dolphins players they couldn’t participate in a poker tournament at a Coconut Creek casino.

Uber-driver A.J. Francis, Jason Fox and Jordan Cameron were scheduled to be celebrity “bounties” in the tournament, used as targets for other players to eliminate in the tournament. The tournament has been held monthly, hosted by local sports talk host Andy Slater. Other Dolphins players have participated in the past, going back to wideout Davone Bess in 2013.

But the league sent Slater and the players an e-mail that said the players could no longer take part, as part of the league’s blanket condemnation of anything casino-related lately.

“The NFL is just doing this [with the Dolphins] as a precaution,” Slater said. “It’s an absolute joke. “The NFL is built on gambling. This is the players’ time off, and they hang out with fans at a legal gambling event at a legit casino.”

The league’s policy states that players are free to gamble, but can’t be used to promote casinos in any way, and they’re apparently looking at everything more closely now.
