Not that I think any bottom of the roster players are aware of anything.

That's quite a bit different than the league fixing games. A butthurt fan suing the league based on allegations of one team cheating vs. an entire league fixing games to a determined outcome.

What did people say about the NFL 100 years ago? I suppose it wasn't rigged then.

If they say anything it’s cause something went sour and they got cut off. Kind of like the former recruit that brought the SMU gravy train down.

They didn't lose. They were sued and the NFL's lawyers said "so what? No one ever said it isn't rigged. Now **** off."

The Supreme Court agreed.

Same antitrust laws as the WWE.

Yes, the Rooney’s and the Maras started the NFL because they needed something to gamble on on Sundays.

That’s a good example. Falcons & Patriots is a more recent one. Both of them had massive leads and fell apart. Wildest thing about the Oilers loss is that they allowed it to happen against Buffalo’s backup QB.

Play your role, be a good company man, you're in the fraternity for life.

You may relocate a fair bit...but they'll always find a spot for you.

NFL was founded in 1920.

Mara didn't enter the league until 1925.

Rooney didn't enter until 1933.

That's 100% exactly what they did. Didn't you watch the ****ing game?

Bengals defense were playing 8 deep with a 3 man front, just DARING the Chiefs to keep running the ball at 6 yards a clip with an 18 point lead...and the Chiefs declined to do anything that would help them win and had Mahomes keep throwing the ball directly to the Bengals defenders.

I guess that had to be explained to you since you obviously either missed the game or don't have a ****ing clue...but yes, they had Mahomes keep throwing the ball directly at a swarm of Bengals defenders until the game was over.

Now, don't ask another stupid ****ing question in this thread. Don't read anything else and don't ****ing post - watch this YouTube and LISTEN to the Dwight Smith and Tim Brown comments on the Bucs/Raiders Super Bowl :

Because they were "not legitimate" sporting contests.

The NFL's attorney testified in front of the ****ing Supreme Court that NONE of the games are truly legitimate, that the NFL is LEGALLY allowed to "manipulate aspects of their infield product for entertainment purposes only", and that fans would still watch even if they knew they games weren't legitimate sporting contests.

Whatever the **** you think all that means, but I know what that says to me...

He says "In the NFL, the team who wins is the team that gets the most pressure on the quarterback"


Why would that matter if the game was rigged?

And his whole basis of it being rigged is that the Raiders still ran Jon Grudens offense so they knew what plays were coming. Everyone knew that Bill Callahan kept Grudens offense. That's not news.

And then he talks about his picks and pick 6s as his accomplishments. If games were scripted, how was he able to do those things unless he was in on the script which obviously he wasn't in on if he considers them accomplishments.
