RUBBISH !! The Manning gift doesn't count. Where the hell would you get the idea that it does? The media narrative throughout that entire 2015 season was Manning retiring with a SB trophy & the NFL made it happen, and anyone thinking otherwise is completely out of touch with reality.
Did you not see that Sunday night game that year against NE that was stolen from the Pats by the officials (the bogus OPI against Gronk on his catch that would have sealed the game)? They didn't want the Pats to have any H2H tiebreaker with the Donks. Go to page 220 of this very thread to see posts about it at the time that game was played.
If you think that the NFL can't fix games through the officials on the field, then you are out of touch with reality. They can LEGALLY fix any game, at any time. The issue has gone before the Supreme Court already with the NFL being acquitted on the matter. The NFL is classified as "Sports Entertainment" and it reared its ugly head & manifested itself in full force in the '90's and everything has had a shadow of doubt cast over it since then.
And the Donks cheating the salary cap in the late '90's wasn't the only mitigating factor, either.
