It all comes back to the network deal...maximizing advertisement revenue became the objective. They know if games are lop-sided, they lose viewers in the 2nd half. Then you have the point spread in Vegas..where a single point differential can mean 10's of millions in profit. All you have to do is call one PI late....easy money.

Don't get me wrong... it's fun reading. You've mentioned (as have others) that ratings are down because of the way last season ended and all the crazy you've posted.
Personally, I think it's because a lot of the prime time games have sucked.
