I am by no means a conspiracy follower BUT, has anyone noticed that the NFL has a team in the same city (Dallas) that a president was assassinated in? Just stating facts and if people want to pass it off as coincidental then that is their choice. If they embrace beliefs that comfort them then who am I to question them?
Seriously: Whenever there are people involved in judgement calls, decisions, and control then there will be mistakes and inaccuracies. It can be unfair at times, Yes but I don't think there is a conscious goal by NFL management to influence anything other then maxing out profits.

When the Donks played the Pats the Pats D was allowed to rape WR's and for the most part not get called. I really didn't care because, well, **** the Donks, but it was there. The next week KC was less obvious and it was clear the refs called almost anything close to PI (on both sides.) The calls in a single game seem consistent. They are told what the emphasis is for the game and they call those penalties. The problem is there's no consistency from week to week in calling anything...

As for the Pats PI call, it probably shouldn't have been called, but it wasn't outrageous. The defender had his hands on the receivers's back and both were falling forward. Definetely could have looked like he pushed him and caused him to fall. It's at the point where every questionable judgment call you guys are saying is proof of the game being rigged.

I'm surprised the numbers are so close. I don't think it is possible to rig every single game of every single season, but you can ride the winners and if they need a little help ala Brady and the tuck rule, go ahead and help em out. I think it is more about points and gambling like that article said than anything else.

Lincoln and Garfield shot in Washington McKinley shot in Buffalo Every assassinated president was shot in an NFL city. That's not a coincidence. And in your second paragraph, the key is the last part. How far will they go to max out profits?

And just think, what if the gambler bribes the refs to do one thing and the league directs the refs to do the opposite? It's chaos!

I checked, but there is no player named Garfield McKinley though. So I'm not sure where that leaves us.

No, I don't think the NFL is rigged. Teams like Pittsburgh or Green Bay wouldn't have success in a rigged for mass media consumption league. They just wouldn't. Teams like the Jets wouldn't be so awful either. It's just silly to think this way.

I suppose I am assuming they are reviewing but I guess they could be lying to us. Although I don't recall seeing a close play in the last minutes where I thought they should review and didn't.

THIS! I hope if we get to play the Donx in the playoffs the emphasis is on OL Holding and Illegal Pick Plays / Offensive PI.

if it were truly "rigged" they'd have forced a realignment to get peyton and tom in different conferences
