Who am I fooling, nobody's every going to question these ****ing idiot hacks unless it's on of the NFL's favored teams.

Enjoy your next SB win, I'm sure it's just thee weeks away.

Impressive list. You sure you couldn't come up with one for Pittsburgh too, if you tried?


So I find it really hard to believe in any kind of grand conspiracy theory when it comes to the NFL, or any of the other professional leagues. Is it possible a ref here or there is owned by the mob or whatever? Sure. Could a player be involved in point shaving in some pro sport? Sure. But NFL HQ pulling strings so certain teams advance and certain ones don't? Can't buy it. Why?

1. You'd have to believe that the NFL is willing to risk EVERYTHING to do it, because if a handful of refs get together and decide to write a tell all book, either to make a zillion dollars or just because they're pissed for some reason, the league is done. DONE. If the masses think the NFL or any other pro league is the WWE, as you say, then the league will lose billions.

Why take that chance? To get ratings slightly higher? The risk/reward profile isn't there.

2. If what you say is true, then why the F has Dallas not even BEEN to a Super Bowl in 20 years?

3. If what you say is true, then even the owners, who the NFL technically works for, are certainly in the dark. Unless you think guys like Ralph Wilson would be fine with never winning a Super Bowl. In that case, the NFL, whose salaries, etc. are paid for by the owners, are betraying the very people they work for. That seems beyond far-fetched.

4. When it comes to refs "****ing the Chiefs over", you probably know but I'll say it anyway -- EVERY team feels EXACTLY the same about the refs. You think Pats fans don't complain about them? They do, EVERY ****ing time the Pats lose. Becuase the Pats don't win so damn much there is less complaining, but when they lose, look out.

Meh, if you really believe, then stop watching. It's all I can say. Believe what you want.
