Can you guys please answer something for me? I'm trying to understand how the conspiracy could work, and who would organize it.
Troy Vincent, former CB (including Bills and Eagles), is EVP of Football Operations responsible for: developing the game, ensuring consistency in the rules and officiating, and strengthening the NFL brand. He reports to Commissioner Goodell, who is accountable to the Executive Committee of league owners. We know that behind any good conspiracy is the motive of money, which means TV ratings and merchandise sales in this case. The primary theory seems to center on Taylor Swift being uniquely good for bringing in new fans and especially for TV ratings, doesn't it? I can't think of any other reasonable angle. So the either the other owners would have to agree to have Goodell and Vincent pressure refs, which is ludicrous, or those two and their reports would have to conspire independently of the owners, presumably because their compensation is tied to revenue, and the refs would have to get a cut. They would risk losing their positions when inevitably the plot is uncovered because it involves so many players. Am I doing this right? I just wish one of these idiot reporters would ask someone like Adam Schefter, ok, just tell me exactly how you think this is being done and by whom? Also, I don't understand why the owners and Goodell don't step in and deny access to these fools like Schefter who are damaging the brand of the NFL? In today's world whether in real life, politics, or sports, you get to just make shit up and keep saying it until a certain percentage of people will start to believe it, especially if it confirms their bias or wishes. I think Orwell wrote a book about that once. |

It's not what is shown in the All 22, it's what is not shown!

The bigger problem is that a lot do not agree with the calls on the field in the last 2 weeks. Most of the disputed calls were reviewed. The head office could have over turned any one of them. Both personal foul calls they clearly hit Patrick's head. The league indicated it was called correctly. The catch, there is no video of the ball moving, the 4th down there is no evidence as to where the ball was.... Now that being said, the old NBA was notorious for sending refs videos on what to watch for and those could lead to refs calling certain players and effect the outcome. (ie Bulls up 3-0, and we want the otherside to avoid a sweep) the video is of Jordan hooking on his spin move, the video is of Rodman being in the paint for 5 seconds...) I do think the NFL has done this to Taylor and his false start. If he comes close it is a auto penalty. Other tackles seem to get away with it 1-2 times a game. I think on the McCafee show they did ask Schefter that and he said he is not a conspiracy theroist he just report facts. Seemed to indicate he does not believe the games are rigged just reporting the sentiment of others. Last edited by Shields68; 01-28-2025 at 04:22 PM.. |
