I've also always said I don't think there a conspiracy against the Chiefs, that whole Rams game narrative was setup as a feel good for a burning city.

Sometimes that luck comes in the form of injuries. Sometime's it's field conditions (e.g., a team with a great power running game will probably benefit from a game in a monsoon). Sometimes it's a player getting booted from the league for getting into a drunken scuffle with a girl. Sometimes it's just a guy dropping a ball in a key situation. And sometimes it's because a ref crew is pickier about penalties that your team can get away with from other crews. All of the above are part of the game. None of the above are conspiracies. |

Also, we haven't updated the penalties thread recently but the Chiefs are above average in almost every type of penalty. It's not just holding or DPI or the subjective ones. Team discipline is low, and we have guys who aren't good enough to be 1 and 2 corners playing 1 and 2, so you end up with a lot of grabbing and holding and DPI. |

There are really weird coverup things going on with a 3rd bomber in the OKC bombing and talk of an FBI informant, who then mysteriously is never mentioned again. Is it possible there was a 3rd bomber who was somehow informing the FBI but they still failed to stop the bomb, so they're covering the whole thing up to save face? Yes I believe that is in the realm of possibility. However, is it in the realm of possibility that 1000s of people, including the world's most evil controlled demolition team (who have no problem killing 1000s of innocent Americans), conspired to rig the twin towers and Bldg. 7 (for some reason) to blow up, skulking around planting precision charges in a working office building for months, and no one noticed them, nor has anyone ever talked. Not one. All for the dubious goal of making sure the buildings fall, because just planes crashing into the buildings wasn't enough. Or something. Motivation is unclear - we just know THINGS DON'T ADD UP. One of these things is not like the other. And don't even get me started on a bunch of kids not really being killed at an elementary school, but the international media is all in on it, the fake parents are all paid actors - but no one from this small town realizes that the kids and parents aren't real. Now - by the same token for the NFL and this thread - is it possible Goodell emphasizes certain penalties or brings in a crew to get the desired shootout he wants? Yes. Is it even possible refs sort of know that keeping things close will keep them in good graces with the league? Yeah - and that really bugs me. But is Goodell maniacally pulling levers, directing things to happen during the games, and conspiring with casinos to rig games and all the refs are in on it? No that's ridiculous. The second you say something like that out loud you open yourself to a massive scandal. So you're limited to what you can nudge w/o really explicitly saying it. The same goes for anyone who thinks Berry doesn't want to be back on that field. The worst case scenario is it is kind of a mental game and he doesn't trust his achilles, which sucks. But there is no way he's just sitting there counting his money and laughing. That's just stupid. |

One thing that might help is to make all flags reviewable. Every single one. But the standard has to be a lot higher. Like if it's at all close the call stands.
That way if the refs call a BS defensive holding in a gigantic spot at least teams have a chance to do something about it. There are other sports where judgement calls are reviewable. It's not impossible. |

So I asked the librarian where I could find books on paranoia, she looked me dead in the eye and whispered "they're right behind you".

I don’t get hating Berry.
I get being frustrated with his contract. I get being frustrated that he’s barely played over the last two years. I get that his comments after the LAC game were...uhhh...less than comforting. But I still don’t get hating the man. The dude ****ing beat cancer then came back and balled the **** out. |

This poll is unicorn urine.
