I'm not special...just special to you. Which must be why you're trolling me around the board.

It's not "fixed" like the WWE. They don't rehearse the game before the game, but I think everybody's coming to grips with favorable slants in officiating to help favorable rating outcomes. They min in just enough of the other to be able to claim it isn't.

But what I'll defend, unless it's somehow "bought", is how a team like the Colts CAN Suck4Luck in a season and get a Luck, but we go 2-14 in a season that has a draft class like there was. I don't believe for a second that Indy didn't have it planned that way. Why the can't, or won't, or didn't, do that I'll never know. Perhaps they're just not into the game within the game. And Indy just sits back and laughs as the cards fall their way, stacked or not! I happen to think it was planned, and all part of "doing whatever it takes to win" and the just aren't that interested in it - or are getting something for not...

this is exactly what I'm talking about - 'fixing', as it's known, happens in the course of what is otherwise supposed to be a legitimate contest. WWE is completely staged.

and yeah, I agree 100% with the points you make.
