Nope, at least in the original (I haven’t and won’t watch the Sandler remake).

In the original, Crewe was thrown out of pro football for fixing games and gambling on them.

Perthe Wiki of the movie, which is never wrong and if it is the turn to : Conservapedia

Paul “Wrecking” Crewe (Burt Reynolds), a former star pro football quarterback, walks out on his wealthy girlfriend Melissa (Anitra Ford) in Palm Beach, Florida. He takes her Maserati-engined Citroen SM without permission and gets drunk. Crewe is caught and sentenced to 18 months in Citrus State Prison.
