If this story ever did surface, I would actually be happy that all that heart break was BS, and not complete shit luck, and would never watch another game. I'm sure there are millions of fans who would never spend another dime on anything football, and would not be happy like me, but be pissed and never spend another penny.
Sounds like a good risk to take when your league would still make billions without rigging anything.

Info has come out over the years(I own three books on the subject) but c'mon what NFL fan really wants to believe it,I sure as hell don't because I love the game too much.
I do however read what I can on the subject and try and keep an open mind on what's being presented to me.Hell Tim Green a former Falcon and FOX analyst even wrote a book called The Dark Side Of The Game which has a chapter about the NFL and the mob and how every year the players have to sit through meetings of getting involved with the wrong people.
The best read of all though is INTERFERENCE:HOW ORGANIZED CRIME INFLUENCES PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL by Dan Moldea and in that book it's all about the money,the gambling and interestingly enough there's only one team that has a chapter solely dedicated to them and the name of that chapter is The Kansas City Shuffle.
Here's a recent video and if nothing else please listen to Olbermann for the first 30 seconds or so.
