I know they got the nudge. It happens. I'm not going to say I can predict shit, or figure out why they do it for certain teams and certain times.
When it happens, it happens. Turn it off or watch, shrug your shoulders and move on. You will be happier.

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.
