The Fix is in
 

Ritchie made that guy look like an idiot. LMAO

Can we get some context before I watch a 20 minute video?

Less than 30 seconds into the video they tell you exactly what it's about.

A guy is pimping his book that claims that numerous sporting events are fixed. It's full of speculation and unsupported assertions. But it was an interesting interview.

They brought up the 15 and 1 packers- we know who they lost that one too. One of the best home games in recent years.

If people don't think the game is manipulated towards higher revenues-watch any donks game from last year. There are pics of the Donk's line holding in front of the refs floating around the planet-and yet No Call was made. But when the SB rolled around and they didn't get the "help" they received all year to break records-the Donks became an average team with an aging QB.

I believe that refs can control a game w/ discretionary calls. Like when and when not to call holding calls, PI calls etc.

I mean how many times have we seen PI calls, phantom PI calls, an OL that takes Hali's head and chokes him/headlocks him and nothing gets called? That's just in the games we see w/ the Chiefs. It's been said many times again that holding can be called on any play basically. So why isn't it called more than it is then? I know they don't have the man power to watch every single OL unless they add more zebras on the field to specifically watch that, but what that does, it allows the refs to call holding or not call holding pretty much anytime they feel like it. Then they fine coaches/players if they bitch about calls to the press in post game interviews etc.

It's all speculation because it can't be proven. But that certainly doesn't mean that it doesn't go on. And he has a point when it comes to the financials about it. There have been FBI files and court documents on this. There have been millions and possibly billions involved w/ this over the years. I bet it's gone on in college too.

Now I'm sure it happened a lot more back in the 60's and 70's. I would think it would be harder to get away w/ that kinda shit in today's world with 100 camera angles and the internet/social media etc and 24HR sports TV/radio.

it absolutely is massaged to get the outcome TV and Vegas wants.

People who think the NFL is fixing its own games are morons who should stab themselves in the face.
NFL FANS who think the NFL is fixing its own games should also stab themselves in the nuts to ensure that they will not have any offspring.

I am still convinced the NBA draft lottery is fixed lol

LMAO

OK. We know you think that. What evidence do you have?

Uhhhhh....if you think the NFL is fixed then you also believe the Chiefs will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. ZERO chance.

ROFL (Here we go again!) You should do BOTH...

It's my opinion that controlling the whole game would be impossible; However, it is very possible for the NFL to control a single moment/s of any game they want without any player / coach / team etc. being involved. Sometimes that moment can determine the outcome of a game. A call here, there, especially a NON-CALL here / there can do the trick. The perfect "defense" is human error and non reversible calls. It's all entertainment and can be manipulated. To not accept that as a possibility is beyond being close-minded. It's plain stupid.
