how shady or legit is the NFL ?
http://spaces.covers.com/blog/Maximu...or-Profit.html
http://thefixisin.net/nfl.html I'm not betting my farm on how true this is but it makes a lot of sense to me. The NFL is an entertainment business and can bend a games outcome when they so choose. Quote:

Calling a first down, then reviewing and saying they can't see where the ball was (which that right there means inconclusive) and then just deciding since they couldn't see where it was to just put it at the first and measure from there is another example of them just being human? The whole world saw Kap not get that first down, but they gave it to him anyway is again just being human? Nope, someone else want to try? Also, who do you think the officials work for? |

If a team isn't complete ass and is in a more valuable market than the team it's playing against, the more valuable team will get the benefit of the doubt from the officials more often than not.

What nobody will tell you is "When" and "How crucial" the penalty was. They will only give you the totals and call you a conspiracy nut. |

Go back and watch the KC @ Denver game in 2013. You see the routine stuff of Chiefs' pass rushers getting chokeholds and Denver not getting called on pick plays. Once the game was out of reach for the Chiefs, *then* Denver started getting flagged for ticky-tack fouls. In the end the penalties and their yardage looks even on paper, but actually watching the game you'll see that only one side was being penalized.

And let's not forget the officials learning to adjust to the rules like calling a questionable TD a TD because it'll get reviewed, so error on the side of the TD. Not to mention the "we want more scoring" mantra that helps in the erroring on the side of scores than not. Then, there's other adjustments they've made to other things like spots and receptions knowing that the coaches have challenges, so let them use them, but that could go either way. |

And THAT'S the "beauty" part of it all and why it's SO EASY to effect the outcome of a game. It CAN be done but CAN'T be proven. Just imagine how the world would be if all things worked under those circumstances... S-C-A-R-Y!

To keep NYC team like the Jets and a Top 5 market team like the Eagles out of the Super Bowl? It's just silly. |
