I do think there is some bias towards star players, particularly QBs and WRs, but it hasn't gotten to NBA style pretty much rigged yet.

Don't know about the Montana era, but the Niners blatantly cheated the cap throughout the '90s and got lightly slapped on the wrist well after the fact.

This one always bothered me. I believe the 9ers lost a draft pick after their '94 SB for cheating the cap but the story was swept under the rug.
That roster was better than most pro bowl teams.

I've treated the NFL like pro wrestling for the last few years. I can see way the league is pushing for certain outcomes to increase it's visibility, (through the refs, turning a blind eye to nefarious financial dealings, the handling of their drug policy, etc...), and I've learned to live with it.

BTW - I enjoyed this snapshot from the weekend:

I don't think the NFL fixes games, but God is another story.

Good point, the NFL made things happen like the CHI RB making a poor decision that led to that comeback. Keep trying though.

Billionaire owners are betting millions on these games, they aren't going to put them in the hands of 21-35 year-olds. I think it is fixed for point, just like that old article said.

Certain teams have figured it out:

1. Refs can't look everywhere at everything. Design your offense to bend/break the rules. You don't get caught every time.
2. Make sure your players bitch on every incompletion. You'll get some.
3. If you have a star QB, you get the benefit if the doubt on some calls.

Not fixed, just sucks.

I think this is a reasonable take. And it doesn't come close to being the same as the game being rigged or directed by the NFL.

Makes no sense at all. Especially with how upset people get about roster choices, playcalling, etc. If you know the outcome is predetermined, why get so pissed about the details?

Don't thinks it's predetermined but the NFL would love to see certian teams with certian players suceed over other teams. The refs are the easiest way to help that along.

Fixed? No. Underhanded? Yes.

I voted rigged, but that's not really my definition. I think it's tilted, but not outright rigged. At least not yet.

I set out the definition for the purposes of the poll. And now you've ruined the whole thing.
