Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar is suing a media company he alleges forced him to make a ceremonial bet that lost him his job on the team's pregame show last year, according to court documents.

Kosar was pulled off the Browns' pregame radio show in January 2023 for betting on their season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which the team said was a violation of the NFL's gambling policy. Team employees are prohibited from placing bets.

Kosar said on his radio show that he bet $19,000 on the Browns and would be giving the winnings to charity.
