And you basically did say that he was involved by bringing up the gambling aspect and then pointing to a video of Cam's not diving for the ball as proof. That, in a nutshell, is you saying you think Cam was involved in fixing that game. |

And since we're at it, let's all believe the video was delivered to TMZ by the tooth fairy on a mission from Santa, who at this time of the year is too busy getting Rudolph in shape. |

Cam Newton rigged the Super Bowl against himself! Holy smokes, the conspiracies run deeper than any of us ever imagined.
Maybe Kareem Hunt conspired to assault 3 people this offseason in order to get himself released from a team and banned from the league indefinitely? In all seriousness though, Kareem was causing trouble the entire offseason, including getting violent with a woman, and he lied to ownership and the whole organization about it. Doesn't matter who you are, you go and cause that kind of trouble for your employer's owner, CEO, whoever - and then lie about it all, putting the guy's pouch in a vice and when it all blows up he's twisting in the wind and the organization has a massive black eye... you're toast. It doesn't matter what business you are in. |

It's sorta funny because one week, the Patriots are getting all of the calls, then the Squealers, maybe the Rams another week and now the Sparklers.
No conspiracy, just inept zebras that miss things. Like the play clock at zero. People do blink. It's been proven that human memory and experience is very unreliable. Was the referee looking at the ball and the lineman? The plays that bother me the most are the ones where the zebras don't err on the side of caution and let the automatic replay take care of it which forces a team to use a review. |

Nice highlight... :-)
So, regarding Cam not going for the ball on the fumble, who knows why really? Did he have PTSD from all the hits and abuse he took during the game? I dunno. Part of a fix? I really doubt it.

That said, if you tell me that Goodell has a ton of influence on refs getting promoted to "all star" status, or bad refs getting fired (which still no one has been able to answer), then I can certainly see where he could use that as a weapon to steer games towards outcomes he wants w/o ever saying a word out loud.
When Goodell brings in his "all star" refs - do they know basically what he wants? Maybe. As usual the actual conspiracy is a lot more out in the open and mundane than the fantasy. |

Backing up a bit...
The premise of this post was around who released the video and why. Does anyone really think that some team was just sitting on the availability of this tape or the opportunity to make it available... just in case the Chiefs did well? I really do not get the mentality around the league being out "to get" or "target" any specific team.
