Some team - no. The NFL directed by Goodell to engineer a smooth passage for the LA teams - quite possibly. |

If anything - I would think they say "Hey, this is the kinda crazy we want in the SB." I think some are just riddled with PTSD from decades of getting nut punched by the Chiefs. |

The most likely scenario is that a building employee copied the video and decided that making $300K from TMZ was better than getting paid $12 an hour. |

They really did let the Broncos rough up Cam in the SuperBowl, and the first game of the next year. I'm pretty sure it was the Patriots, Steelers, Chargers AND Broncos that are responsible. |

How do you create plausible deniability and sealed lips? By keeping the circle SMALL. That would be your referees. And as I explained earlier, not everyone in that small group is on the take; you don't NEED an entire cabal of corrupt zebras to make this work week in, week out. And if you have to sacrifice one those officials to the unemployment line when the necessary, blatant, and horrendous calls must be made? Who gives a ****?! They're nobodies! NO ONE CARES! They're never seen or heard from again, no wrongful termination lawsuits are filed, and that's the end of it. Game over. And I'm sure that's all spelled out quite clearly in their contracts; once you're out, you're out, and you've signed away any legal recourse when you took the job. It's the perfect, untraceable setup. No one is going to talk, no one is going to write a book or sue; you try it, and they will wreck your universe. |

If I was rigging games I would have an ulcer every damn day that I was gonna get caught. It wouldn't be worth it. Now factor in many of these guys have successful jobs/businesses outside football. But they're willing to risk all that and felony federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for a few extra $k on gamedays - wired to some account that the IRS never finds out about - and communicated over some super secret method that no one ever finds out about. I guess their wives never look at their phones. Or are the wives in on it too? What about the kids? Do they get told on their 18th birthday or something? Makes me wonder if some of the paranoid types aren't secretly wanna-be or actual scam artists. |

Almost the entire video is based on a theory that the NFL claims to be entertainment so they can't get sued if their massive game-rigging system ever gets exposed. At least I think that's what the author was trying to get at. These guys always like to leave things kind of vague and just wink at the expected conclusion. Same like Cam rigged his own Superbowl loss. It sounds a lot more ridiculous when you actually state the conclusion out loud. Could it happen with one rogue ref or player? Of course. It happened in basketball. The players also made a hell of a lot less money in Butkus' day. They weren't risking throwing away $millions to fix a game. Is it the big organized conspiracy amongst a ton of refs and major sports books? No that's ridiculous. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. |

Would you prefer no reasons so that you can fill in your own blanks for why it doesn't work? Talk about a stupid post. |
