Hardly.
The big game wasn't where rigging took place. It was the final weeks of the season where Cincy and NE take their foot off the pedal and hand PeyPey the #1 seed. No way in hell the Donks get to the Superbowl playing on the road. Co-worker of mine who is a huge Donks fan called it in week 6. Said Peyton would get hurt/benched, Osweiler would hold down the fort, they would get the #1 seed, win out for Peyton and he rides into the sunset. Said co-worker has correctly called 3 of last 4 Superbowls (teams participating and winner), and the dude makes a shit ton of money wagering on games week to week. I ask him how he does it - he laughs it off and just says, "you gotta know people in the know, that's all......" True story. ****er won't give up his souce/intel either..... |

Not surprised that you only believe in fairytale endings when they benefit your reality...
![]() Then the most accurate kicker in the NFL missing an extra point (first in 3 years)...and Brady "overlooking" a wide open Gronk for the 2-point conversion. It was all just magic....I mean, I dont blaming him for not looking to his go-to guy, with the game on the line, and throwing into double coverage...it's what Brady does. Then you have Cam...just staring at a fumble in a close SB game and over-throwing receivers. Magic....welcome to the big business world of bull-shitting the unsuspecting public.

You are batshit crazy if you don't think the NFL does not have a hand in creating favourable scenarios for ratings/viewership by influencing outcomes. I'm not suggesting game outcomes are pre-determined, but they are influenced namely through officiating and betting lines. I don't subscribe to full out pre-determined winners, but sports in general has long had the shadow of corruption around it when big money is involved.
Olympic boxing anyone? - even the amateur levels cannot escape it.... |

Brady took one for the "team"...he's getting his before he retires. It's WWF theater.... Vikings kicker covered his tracks against the Seahawks....missed the same exact hard-left kick, last night, as in the play-offs. It's how it works... Last edited by BlackOp; 08-20-2016 at 01:27 AM.. |

While not 100% scripted, there is absolutely theater in this league and you better be a prime time player if you want to dance beyond the regular season.
This is why the league gives not one shit about the Chiefs and never will until they get a QB on a level beyond "dependable and steady". They're not putting that shit on TV for Super Sunday. And no, you will not "buck the system" through sheer willpower. You will get ****ed, and roughly. Look for the usual suspects( sans Denver of course )to be helped along this year, and a reemergence of Big Rape come play off time. If I'm guessing correctly, the league is going to be doing it's best to get him back to prime time this season. Brady has had a great run but if the league gives him another shot at a ring, it becomes Captain Obvious to even the most alcohol sodden NFL fan that something is truly amiss, and they're not going to let that happen. |

I'm in awe that some of you still watch a game that is so scripted and planned out as you describe.

Some people just can't accept that Rodger McMahon and the owners have developed a very clear strategy to keep their businesses profitable. I am 10,000% certain that Cam would have gotten a ring if it hadn't been Peyton's time to be sent out in a blaze of glory.
I'm also certain he'll be back to "achieve" that goal, so that the NFL can keep it's image nice and groovy with the times we are currently living in. Marketing, baby! |

The Panthers were favored to win the SB. Period. End of story. But the Broncos had a defense that was just too damn good and it destroyed the Panther's offense. The Broncos offense did just enough to win the game GOING AGAINST A TOP NOTCH--BETTER THAN KC--Carolina defense. Manning sucked this last year, he got injured--again--and then came back when the Broncos were essentially in a playoff game and had to have home field advantage.
