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:

Legal or not, it would be impossible to keep something like this secret. That's the problem with all REALLY big conspiracy theories -- impossible to keep secret.

All you gotta do is look at the tuck rule game to know that there is some fishy shit going on.

Tuck rule, subjective holding and pass interference calls, the negated Polamalu TD and the concussion protocol doesn't exactly put the NFL in a good light.

This is why I think KC's play-off game last year was shady.Indy opens as a -1 favorite and by two hours prior to kick-off the spread had swung to KC -3 and then finally settled at KC-2.I have read it takes a million dollars in wagering to move a line 1/2 a point,so do the math.
So you have thousands of gamblers on KC and feeling real good at halftime only to see the concussion protocol rear its ugly head and the outcome being Indy -1 which not only saw all that money on KC go to Vegas but the original Indy -1 being a push.

It is designed to assure there is an equal amount of money on each side so the casinos make money no matter how the game ends up. If the casinos set the line correctly (and they are VERY good at it) then it literally doesn't matter to them how the game ends. This goes against the whole "the NFL is fixed for the casinos" meme. If the casinos do their job right there is no need to fix the games for them. They will ALWAYS make money. They make their money off the vig no matter who wins. |

its quite simple. Pay close attention to the NFL network and ESPN and nfl.com. What are the stories and themes they keep pounding at you through the year. What narrative keeps coming up? And how does it seem to magically manifest itself in the games. Watch the games with a better eye. how quickly do officials make calls. How many times are they calling stuff for one team or not calling anything. How often are they so close to the point spread or completely opposite because they know for a fact the direction all the bets went.
Pay attention to the fact that Seattle wont get as many calls this year. notice that the SB is in Arizona. That means the Cardinals wont make the playoffs. last year the Giants and Jets didn't make the playoffs..where was the Super Bowl? isn't it interesting that bountygate caused the Saints to lose players and coaches the year the SB was played in New Orleans(all of that happened after having been to and winning their first SB ever- of course youll tell yourself that means nothing because the SB was in 2009). Isnt it just a little interesting that after the Cardinals new stadium hosts a SB for the first time in 2008, they end up appearing in their first SB ever the following year. How many coincidences do you need before you stop covering your ears and shouting theres no proof ! While it is in fact not as random and impartial as you want it to be. |

The Concussion Protocol is an extremely easy way to manipulate a game by the league itself.
If nothing else, the Indy game proved it's worth it to go headhunting for a star player. Knocking out Jamaal Charles, or guys like Shady McCoy, Cam Newton, et cetera is relatively low risk and high reward.

Way too much smoke for there not to be a fire someplace...Deal is a single moment in a game can be manipulated / controlled just as much, if not more, by the non - calls, which can influence the outcome of any game. There doesn't have to be a BIG deal made in order to do it, all that needs to be done is to look the other way - miss a call here, there - DONE. That's the beauty of it... Those who can't open their minds at least the possibility that the NFL might not be 100% legit, simply don't want to and / or are delusional.

I won't say everything is rigged and completely pre determined but I absolutely do believe instances are influenced and certain teams/players/narratives are pushed and steered a certain way. Super Bowl III was rigged IMO, being a Lakers fan THAT Lakers/Kings series was extremely fishy, and I have questions about things like the Saints improbable Super Bowl run and the timing of it, Chris Paul to the Lakers being vetoed, a blind eye being turned to players clearly juicing and using PEDs (I look towards the PGA on this too), M.J.'s "retirement", etc. just to name a few. |

I'm not a big conspiracy theorist but IMO, it's pretty naive to think that the NFL isn't intent on pushing certain teams, players, and storylines every year. Of course, there's no guarantee that things will play out exactly the way the NFL wants them to, but there's only so many times you can watch Brady or Fivehead get bailed out with a timely bogus PI flag or uncalled illegal pick before you stop believing it's all on the up-and-up.
