Against the Steelers, did not throw a touchdown pass until the end of the game, his completion rate only 62. A team such as the Green Bay Packers couldn't exist, because they don't have enough money to play a rigged game. We saw this come to light in Super Bowl 47. Its definitely predetermined just like wrestling. Injury, dropped passes, play calling, clock time, etc. Halper: I have read most of it. Kirsten Gaskins was arrested on Sunday evening at a hotel in Hanover Township and has been charged with simple assault, harassment, cruelty to animals, and possession of drug paraphernalia. That was to be expected. This could be something they believe. Then a video was released. After all, the once took four games of Tom Brady, draft picks, and a million bucks away from the Patriots because they used slightly under-inflated footballs during a 45-7 blowout of a game.
The total league revenues are shared equally so there is no punishment for owning Jacksonville vs Kansas City vs Dallas. They compete as a unit in the entertainment marketplace, and not subject to Anti-Trust laws. They work for the league, period. The Saints 40 years of losing, then winning a title for a Katrina ravaged city. The Jets fan argued that, all Jets fans are entitled to refunds because they paid for a ticket to a legitimate sporting event. Had he been aware that the games were not real then we would not have gone. The Judge stated that a ticket to a game only provides you access to the stadium. The fan entered the stadium, witnessed a game, therefore he did not suffer any damages. Next: In 2000 Art Model, a storied and respected owner of the Baltimore Ravens announced he was selling the team. And the Ravens were subsequently sold to Steve Busciotti for a record price. There are many more examples, and no one wants this to be true. We are entertainment and we can manage outcomes as we see fit. Thanks for reading all of this. It is compiled from many sources. So how can a high-flying Patriot offense lose to an aging, mediocre Ravens defense. The Ravens are in fact the team of destiny this year, because it was made to be so. It seems too good to be true, and it's probably because it is. It's a nice story, and it's sure to get the league more ratings and the attention away from concussions, but it doesn't add to the integrity of the game. I have been a fan since I was a child. One only has to read a few comments above to begin seeing the bigger picture. Out of the last ten Super Bowls, 6 of them have been decided by 4 points or less. Why have the games been so close. Is it just a coincidence. Is it a coincidence that ten years ago a 30 second commercial would set back a company just over a million dollars and ten years later that same 30 second slot now exceeds 4 million dollars. Keep the games close and you keep the people watching. I believe the refs are in on the scandal. These people can dictate the outcome of any game. We saw this come to light in Super Bowl 47. Even though in the last minute there was a holding call on the Ravens that was not called. Last year the same thing happened to the New York Giants. They came from barely winning their division to winning the Superbowl, but the following year they don't even make it to the playoffs. In most sports the team that wins the championship usually has a good season, they may not win or make it to the championship, but they always get close to winning. Lets go back to 1998. It all starts with the Denver Broncos. Elway plans to retire but has no Super Bowl rings. Wins 2 back to back super bowls, as if to say, one isn't a guarantee or too obvious, so 2 it is. Needless to say, we can't make it nfl admits to rigging games, so we must now have the Patriots in a lot more Super Bowls so it doesn't look so obvious. Jerome Bettis retirement party in, where. None other than his hometown of Detroit. What a great place to win a Super Bowl and retire right. Oh the irony of all these stories. The higher ups pick and pay the refs themselves. Saints are good for the first time ever after Katrina. Elway wins twice when he announces retirement. Jerome Bettis wins a Super Bowl in his hometown to retire. And after watching Ray Lewis and Co. Push a referee and not even get penalized last night how can you not think its rigged. Way too many advertisements these days. It would be interesting not really to figure out what percentage of the game time slot is advertisements. It's pretty sad, but that's why football makes much more money than any other sport. They can't take commercial breaks for soccer, rugby, or hockey. Not worth it for broadcast rights or syndication on network tv. If so, who fixes them and how do they do it. I would love to hear all of the theories that people have. I'd imagine there are lots of ways games could be slanted. I don't know the exact process of how the officials prepare for games but I would not be surprised if they watched each of the teams games in the week prior. There is a league official with communication to the field in every game and they would serve many of the same functions afore mentioned, by noting calls that may have been missed or were perhaps questionable in the minds of those reviewing. The refs control the game from start to finish, like Tom Brady's infamous tuck rule against the Raiders who always seem to get screwed by the refs. Because they haven't had their glory in 30 years. While the rules have been made more stringent to help prevent injuries, that is not the same as rigging the league. For the entire league to be rigged, there would have to be thousands of people in on the scam. There is no way that many people would keep their mouths shut about a scandal that large. That means big names would win every year. A nfl admits to rigging games such as the Green Bay Packers couldn't exist, because they don't have enough money to play a rigged game. There wouldn't be teams like the Giants that go on a crazy win, because the only way to gain money from this would be to gamble. Additionally, dropped and made catches in the final second could be planned, but wouldn't always come out right. With Super Zoom Instant Replays and challenges, there is no way possible to rig the game. Second,there haven't been enough instances of Refs blowing a call for them to be anything more than Referees. Third, there are too many other things in place. We all saw the replacements were undertrained, but got the majority of the calls right, but only the calls a Veteran or Trained Referee could determine, were the calls that gave trouble. Oh, and to answer that stupid Super Bowl comment, in case you haven't noticed, The Super Bowl has, 77% of the time been close. There are only about maybe 6-8 Super Bowls were one team didn't have a chance and got blown out. But you know what really bugs me about this. Enjoy the greatest game ever to be played friends. Note the only person saying yes doesn't explain how, this is because it's not true and only a moron would think it was. Look at the Seattle Green Bay game earlier this year and the outrage caused by the replacement referees blowing the call deciding it, the league could not survive such public controversy on a regular basis and it's far too fast paced a game for the players to intentionally flub plays. Everything would have to go perfect, players keeping quiet, coaches keeping quiet, refs and owners keeping quiet. Anyone who came to this site is just upset that their team had a bad call during a game. Because guess what, if it was for your team, you would have stayed quiet and agreed with the call. Get over the bad call your team just faced and continue to watch the game. I'm a Titans and Eagles fan. Since when have they gone to the Superbowl and won. Both of my teams have never won a superbowl. You can't rig something this large-scaled. Just look at how many players, coaches, personnel, etc. Are in the league right now, then think of how many there's been in the previous 40+ years. There is too many variables. Injury, dropped passes, play calling, clock time, etc. Refs can blow calls, but they're humans as well. Also, when a team loses, they're fan base generally says the league is to blame, that the games are rigged, or the world is against them. Otherwise all games would be close and go into overtime because that is what makes nfl admits to rigging games very exciting. How Packers be on point for first half of game. Then possession of ball four or five times including interceptions Packers go no where or do anything with ball not even a first down. Oh Seahawks come from way behind and kinda walk to touchdowns after next with no effort defensive to win game. I could tell the way announcers were talking you could tell who was going to win. Don't take a scientists to see it. Its definitely nfl admits to rigging games just like wrestling.
