It is amazing to me that so many people spend so much money and so much time following a team and a sport where they think the outcome is predetermined or at least rigged to a large degree. That makes no sense to me.

http://www.examiner.com/article/supr...g-spygate-suit "The Supreme Court today decided not to hear the appeal in the lawsuit brought by disgruntled New York Jets fan Carl Mayer against the New England Patriots over the “Spygate” scandal. Mayer, a lawyer, was suing the Patriots on behalf of all Jets’ fans, seeking millions in damages for essentially cheating. By not hearing this case, the Supreme Court not just upheld the lower court’s dismissal of Mayer’s suit, but in a very real sense helped prove that a league like the NFL could legally fix its own games.

Here's another thing--the NFL allowed replay review and ever since has been expanding its use. Now, EVERY scoring play is reviewed, even without a challenge. One of the things that would be easiest for a ref to fudge on is spotting the ball--and that's even reviewable. No, penalties are not reviewable, but the expansion of replay is not the act of a league that is trying to use the refs to alter the game.

Billionaire owners are betting millions on these games, they aren't going to put them in the hands of 21-35 year-olds. I think it is fixed for point, just like that old article said.

I don't think the NFL fixes games, but God is another story.

You also seem to be leaving out something. There's a million things the refs need to watch, and there are a lot of big, fast guys running around. They are going to miss some stuff, no question. There will even be some big ****-ups. That doesn't mean it's rigged.

Certain teams have figured it out:
1. Refs can't look everywhere at everything. Design your offense to bend/break the rules. You don't get caught every time. 2. Make sure your players bitch on every incompletion. You'll get some. 3. If you have a star QB, you get the benefit if the doubt on some calls. Not fixed, just sucks. |
