Did people really tune in because the PATRIOTS were playing? Did people really rally around the PATRIOTS just because of the team name and 9/11? It's childish nonsense.

They properly applied the tuck rule, so I'm not sure what you think was blatant, other than the officials blatantly making the proper call. That same rule, properly applied, had cost the Patriots a game against the Jets earlier in the season.

The league is biased towards Peyton Manning/Brady, but Manning has won one Super Bowl and had a plethora of one and dones in the playoffs and Brady hasn't won a Super Bowl in 8 years. ![]() Green Bay, the smallest market in the NFL, has recently won a Super Bowl. Rainman, you wrote a great essay and it sucks that the contest was looking for something more marketable, but stop being an idiot about the rest of the game. |

I'll try, but it's hard to stop being an idiot at my age. I've been doing it for far too long.

I am not making a statement about any agenda, I just can not look at that play and see anything that resembles an incomplete pass.
It was against the Raiders, too. |

Of course the NFL is a business ran by business people. If anything the NFL seems like the league least concerned with market size.
The only NFL game of import that looked possibly crooked to me was the Seahawks vs Steelers super bowl game. I can't really remember the specifics but I just remember the feeling that it seemed tainted to a guy who had no rooting interest either way. |

Ya the game is rigged, the main reason I started working Sundays. I will never get that pissed off about a BS loss again.

fully where you are OP
*I am disgusted with all the ref face time & reviews *no more contact, this game looks more like basketball & soccer *Jamaal looks like a nostalgia clip inserted into today's game I don't watch as much football these days. I travel for my work, often making travel schedules match games I wanted to attend. I used to attend 12 or more games per season and the past couple years that number has dwindled -- this season I have attended four games. I don't make SB plans anymore. I didn't even watch SB45 two years ago, decided to work a project instead. I like football because it is a high contact game mixed with strategy similar to chess & checkers. but now that contact is illegal, I have lost interest. almost time to let go. I'll probably stop following after Jamaal retires.

What if we just enslave the gladiators and have them play each Sunday for their lives?

Which team do you guys think should have won in 2009 that had their Super Bowl stolen from them? I recall the Saints being pretty good that year.

Honestly, my enjoyment of the game changed dramatically this past offseason while I contemplated everything that had happened and whether or not I still wanted to be a fan of the Chiefs.
I had to get the "it's all about the Super Bowl" idea out of my head. Primarily because I came to the realization that the Chiefs will likely never win one. The cards are stacked heavily against them. |
