The Supreme Court agreed.

Same antitrust laws as the WWE.

Huh? Are you talking about the lawsuit brought by the Jets fan against the Patriots? That is completely different than a lawsuit against the league accusing them of fixing games.

The Jets season ticket holder who sued the league wanted his ****ing money back for the Patriots games through the Spygate years.

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 onfield product for entertainment purposes only", and that fans would still watch even if they knew they games weren't legitimate sporting contests.

And the Supreme Court agreed.

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

Until you grow up enough that you do not let the outcome of a sporting event impact you this way you should not be making any comments about the legitimacy of the game.

I think the NFL had the 'steer' in with this game. I won't say the 'fix', but I won't argue against it. Three moments in particular where I posit the NFL showed its hand:

1. The flag that was thrown, but wasn't.

The immediately withdrawn personal foul 15 yard penalty for body slamming our player well after the play. It was so blatant, the refs, who were clearly swallowing their whistle to an extreme extent to that point, even relented and threw the flag. Then, after a brief moment, they somehow announce simply and tersely there was "no foul on the play". Immediately, Romo said 'haha good no-call there, that was a flop.'

It was not a flop at all. KC's player got forcefully shoved by a Bengal over another Bengal that was already on the ground, so he couldn't rebalance himself and thus got driven violently into the ground. The player on the ground even grabbed his foot in the process.

The part that stinks the most is how and why that flag got picked up.

2. The late hit flag that wasn't thrown

Hardman returns a punt and gets shoved out of bounds, a long moment passes, the moment grows even longer, then he gets smacked down. It was well after the play, which distinguishes this no-flag from the ones on actual plays. It had to be called; it was textbook. The ref was in position. The fans went nuts; Hardman sprung up not lobbying for a flag, but celebrating the obvious one coming. But crickets from the refs?

3. The fair-catch interference no-call

This sure seemed to me like a blatant, obvious 15 yarder that has to be called. I even fist-pumped right when it happened, as appeared the crowd did as well. Romo argued that it was an acting job, and in super slow-mo I could see his point I suppose (in super slow-mo), but the contact itself was indisputable, and that's the penalty, isn't it? It wasn't particularly soft or incidental contact, and if the ball flies out of our returner's hands as a result of that contact, and the Bengals pick it up for the instant free TD, what happens then? TD for the Bengals, perhaps? Or do they slow it down on replay to determine if Hardman had possession before the hit jarred the ball loose...on a friggin' fair catch?

These three plays are the plays I'm throwing my own flag on above all the rest.
