That may be what he claimed it was for.

The gambling business wanted that stopped (because they weren't doing it) and so that put pressure on the NFL to make it "fair".
As for organized crime... they were more likely the gambling business than the gamblers themselves.
But seriously there is nothing saying they have to release anything until a week before the game... so he's just complaining because he wants more info now ... that and/or he thinks everything should be public knowledge including every injury he and his whole family has every had and/or he's crazy...
But like I said I've been wanting more info too... but not on the injuries, I want more info on the guys practicing and hearing how they're looking. And not just for one play here or there... but overall.
