  • 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.

    Proof positive!
  • "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.

  • Some people see "the fix".

    Some people see flawed humans.

  • 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!

  • Yeah... fuckers...

    And what about the '82 'Skins...

    Hell, they were practically handed the Lombardi even though they only won 8 games.

    Their starting RB was even named Riggins for Christ sake...

    How blatant can you get?

    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.

  • Tell me WHAT billion dollar industry is on the up and up. Why should pro sports be any different?

  • So that's why the Browns can never get ahead. The NFL, refs, and Vegas all hate the Browns! Largest following of fans in the nation, and they all hate us. Oh what they are missing. If they would just let the Browns win a Super Bowl...the money it would generate. Don't they realize that??

    First, "Vegas" won about 10% of the betting pool... same as every week.

    Second, in what world are the following spreads all multiples of 3?

    4.5 2.5 4.5 1.0 6.5 10.0 7.5 6.5 3.0 14.0 2.5 4.0 7.5 10.0 3.5 3.0.

  • Easiest way to fix a game, get to an O-lineman. They dictate the ENTIRE game.

    The ref is too obvious

    Well, I wouldn't go as far as claiming the NFL is "rigged". But I do agree at the ridiculousness of the call. The exact same call was made against Jason Worilds of The Steelers against Atlanta last week. Text book hit / sack that was hard but clean as could be. The call came with an automatic first down. Atlanta went on to score a touchdown when they shouldn't of even had the ball.

  • Roger Goodell should be tarred and feathered. I really do think that the games are steered in a certain direction by the league, and being the one in charge he has shown himself time and time again to be an inept jackass.

    Some of the calls (and non-calls) that I have seen this season in many games are just mind-blowing. Calling a penalty on one team constantly then not calling it on the other team, etc.

    Probably the biggest example of it is with the Pat's CB Brandon Browner. The refs throw a flag anytime he goes within 10 f*#*ing feet of a receiver, but if it's Revis or McCourty they aren't nearly as likely to throw a flag. I do think that they like to punish individual players more than others at times, which also isn't right.

  • Can someone provide a link or source with the detailed rules of pass interference? I've discussed with others and it always comes into question and for me it seems so cryptic on what should be clearly defined rules. (Same goes for defensive holding too since we here that so much anymore.)

  • Google?

    There are pdf's of earlier years, but not 2014... at least not that I've found.
