Still don't think the NFL is rigged?
-
I had a friend who swore that NFL games were rigged by corrupting the wide receivers. He said that a pass would be dropped at a critical moment if the outcome was going the wrong way. My opinion is that it would involve too many people to fix games; in all these years if no one wrote a book confessing and telling how they did it, it probably did not happen. They can't keep their jaws from flapping about anything else, so how could they keep quiet about that?
On the other hand, I have seen nothing in the world involving very much money that is a completely clean process, and NFL betting involves lots of it, so I don't know.....

I've always had my suspicions.

I'd hate to think that a bunch of guys hitting the weight room, studying film & playbooks, etc's work is being tossed aside for Vegas bookies. But yeah, I've wondered about it at times.
I think college football is more rigged, always have. Just think about the recent mess-if you were a TCU fan, you'd be more than pissed.
-
Its rigged.
-
I always go back to when the Browns were gonna beat pretty boy Tom Brady and the all holy Patriots and the refs gave the game to the Pats, Billy Cundiff was a few yards away from those Refs losing their jobs.
-
Horrible call. But not rigged. Its just that Jack Lambert's prediction has come true: they have put skirts on the Quarterbacks. They bend over backward to protect the QB. They should change the name of the penalty from
"roughing the passer" to
"annoying the passer".
-
For the record they've officially come out and said this was a bad call. This should be exhibit A on why these calls have to be reviewed. This happened on 3rd down and gave the Seahawks another chance which led to a TD. It's bullshit to say a call can't make a difference in a game
-
It was a bad call but I don't think it had anything to do with the game being rigged.

Pro Sports are never rigged and anyone who thinks they are is simply a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist because when it comes down to money everything is above board, clean, and ethical.
OH WAIT:

Brian Tuohy wrote a best selling book titled "The Fix Is In" it is a remarkable account of the networks and professional sports pouring billions of dollars into making sure the outcome of games. On all levels and every sport. Www.thefixisin.net. Tuohy also reports for the Bleacher report. After spending time in prison, For illegal bet making and paying college players to drop a ball here or fumble a ball there, Tuohy decided to write about the truth in professional sports. Especially for closed minded fools who watch and bet every week. It's a very well written book and quite entertaining. it totally changes the way you watch sports. Think about it. Flag happy refs with two minutes to go in a close game. Suspicious penalties that can't be over ruled. With billions of dollars on the line every day all you have to do is follow the money.

"On April 22, 2014, Donaghy claimed that the league office was going to push referees to fix playoffs games to have Brooklyn Nets beat the Toronto Raptors, so they could advance to the second round and face the Miami Heat because it would be good for ratings,[51] which it was.[52] On May 4, 2014, the Nets eliminated the Raptors after a game 7 win."
It would be foolish to think this shit doesn't happen in the NFL.
I honestly don't think players or coachers are involved unless payed to keep quiet but league officials and referee's are behind it.
"Public Interest in NFL is at all an all time high, and the past few seasons have set record TV ratings in several of the playoff games, The incentive to create the best possible games is far too great for the NFL to pass up"
I just think these games are being "steered" in a certain direction with phantom penalties, missed calls, etc.

I imagine there isn't one person on this forum, who hasn't seen FLAGRANT penalites with NO calls,
and very, very strange nitpiddly calls.
On the same type of foul.
Something is wrong. In the Bengal game, for part I did see in the fourth quarter...
the Bengal oline was nearly playing rugby a few times... no call.
I don't want to hear "well, if they called it all the time".... from the NFL. Giving refs the op to decide
when they call it, and when they don't, for very much the exact same type and manner of penalties and who for, is fraud.
"You can't unload on a defenseless receiver".. Oh, really. I've seen it, and seen it not called.
Seems to usually be more successful teams get the no calls.
You see all these times when the offense hurries up to run a play before they can review it?
Then think back to Bottlegate. No whistle, no nothin. The Browns RAN a play, and yet, they nullified that play,
and went back and....
You really have to wonder. I think it all starts with this dipstick commish.
-
If you believe it's fixed....how can you still enjoy being a fan or sit here and debate offensive strategy or draft picks?
Whats the point if it's already decided? Right?....
That would be like seriously discussing the wrestling strategy for Hulk Hogans next match.....should he use the power body bomb or the scissors of death?

This was a 15 yard penalty just now in the 49ers-Seahawks game.
I said it in my earlier thread, it's steered towards a given outcome.
THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. "leading with the crown of the helmet"

Hell yea it's rigged - no better evidence than the "Bounty Bowl" and the sham "win" in the Stuper Bowl of the New Orleans Cheats! The Walsh 49ers? The ERA of the Rigged Game!

out of all those point spreads, what did Vegas win?
It is much easier to win or lose when the scoring is 3 points at a chunk
It takes a lot more skill to win a bet when you bet on basketball, where the points are in 1's
Why do you think baseball has odds????????

It's called illegal betting. Brian Tuohy had "runners" on every major college campus. These "runners" acted as intermidiators between the money guys and the athletes. They entice these poor kids with anywhere between a few grand to ten grand to drop a pass, fumble a ball. It's been going on since the dawn of sport. All sports are rigged in every venue and country. If it's too hard to wrap your head around it then read the book or just look at our government.
