Do they have fewer unhinged conspiracy hypocrites?

LMAO

That was basically my feelings the day after the SB and moments after the game yesterday.

We'll probably never know 100% if games are rigged or to what extent, or if they're influenced intentionally or not, or if it's just incompetence.

And believing you KNOW is dumb. I certainly don't KNOW the NFL wanted Brady to win the SB, but I'm not going to ignore the fact that he gets calls no other QB gets, whether it's at the NFL level or his ability to cry to the refs, or the NFL inadvertently influencing the game by wanting the refs to cracking down and the refs botched it,, etc. And I don't know why the refs completely botched yesterday's game and if I should be suspicious of the last minute crew change or if it's simply a Covid thing plus a lot of incompetence.

And I'm not sure I care what it is or to what extent... just that it happens and it ruins big games. It's a ****ing shame, no matter the reasons, and what really grinds my gears is the complete lack of accountability.

OK, fine. I was just referring to the line in my gambling thread. The point still stands though. What difference did it make how many points the Bengals won by when they were the underdogs?

The O/U did not matter either since the over had already been hit.

Maybe they really wanted Cincy to win that division?

Idk, it's more than just "mah CHEEFS" for me.

It's the final death knell for what remained of my tattered childhood innocence. The world is cold, corrupted, evil place. There is no escaping it.

Not even for 3.5 hours on a Sunday.

And you can't see that no one ****ing wants you here.

I think the straw that broke the camel’s back for me was the NFCCG in 2019 days immediately before the Chiefs played the Pats. That missed call when the Rams defender completely bulldozed the Saints receiver at the goal line was the most egregious call I’ve ever seen. The play was out in the open and everyone saw clear as day what happened. Somehow, every referee in that game watched that play happen and somehow decided that the most blatant PI ever committed in NFL history didn’t happen. Maybe most games are on the up and up, but unfortunately there will always be some that aren’t.

The Tuck rule and Immaculate Deception say hello

OK, I just aged myself lol

This is exactly where I am. It’s not even so much that we got jobbed and lost, it’s just the fact that not even sports can be an escape anymore because greed has literally ruined everything.

You just want to sit down and watch your favorite team play without having to be reminded that the world is a cesspool of corruption. They insult your intelligence putting that garbage on the field and they know you’ll just keep coming back anyway because we love the game so much, even though they’ve turned it into a shell of what it once was.

It’s just sickening.

Cowherd today basically talking down to Chiefs fans for "expecting a perfectly called game."

No, dick, we expect a fairly called game.

Yeah, and that's how the complete lack of accountability drives the conspiracy theories, because there really isn't a better explanation on that play... it was just that bad. And is that a ref having money on the game or the NFL with marching orders or something completely different? Who knows, but there's zero excuse for it or defending that call.

It's also a big distinction that is largely lost on Black & White CP.... that refs can be completely incompetent in some games while others could be influenced, that it's not just a conspiracy when you don't like the outcome, and so forth.

He's always been biased against the Chiefs, and he began his coaching career here.

It's odd.

It think he's talking about the The Herd guy, not Bill.

You prefer to live in a bubble?

thanks...I'm and idiot.
