NFL is Rigged: Week 18 edition

[ModSocks]

The CP consensus is that the NFL is rigged. Welp, as such, I think it’d be great to discuss this week’s script.

The NFL is rigged, so this should be easy. As easy as predicting a WWE In-Ring interview being rudely interrupted by a rival with a steel chair.

Call your shot, what kind of week 18 shenanigans is the NFL up to?

Las Vegas vs L.A: Which new stadium does the NFL prefer? TWO teams in L.A make the playoffs?

Will the NFL write in a tie game sending BOTH to the playoffs?

Will they sneak the Steelers in for one last hoorah for Ruthlessraper?

Or will they write in Lamar Jackson because he generates ratings?

Will they give the most prestigious player (Mahomes) the #1 seed, or do they want to see the Chiefs in the WC round for extra ratings?

Except that Tom Brady's wife is a witch. That is very, very real.

****, you're right... I guess I owe you 100 quid of Casino Cash...

It's all good folks, we're all Chiefs fans in the end...

Let's hope this is a year the Gods smile upon us..

Did you look into the Leagues review policy on the refs at all?

Always watch how the ball is bouncing...or if a QB catches his own pass for a TD...or makes a one handed helmet catch.

Your answer lies somewhere in there...peace.

And with this BlackOp reveals that his whole deal is now without a doubt one big troll.

All I want to know is what the elusive eight op is.

Not how it works. Ball is not catchable because the DB wraps up the WR and prevents him from making a move.

It's gotta be a troll at this point.

Not calling PI because a ball is uncatchable is totally legit.

Watching the play, I definitely thought the contact was DPI. I didn't see where the ball landed, but Collinsworth made it sound like it was definitely uncatchable. He mentioned the ball landed somewhere near the first R in the Raiders end zone logo, while I believe the players were in the middle of the end zone. I guess you can argue that the Raiders receiver could have made it, but most folks (outside of the Raiders fanbase, understandably) seem to agree that it was uncatchable.

Of all the rigged threads, this one is practically HoC worthy... whether it's a troll job or psychosis, I think we've all learned a lot about ourselves, other CPers, and Tom Brady's witch wife... and had some laughs along the way.

There's no way the receiver was getting to that ball. Plus, I think their feet got tangled up more than anything else. It was a bad call.

you'll laugh. you'll cry. etc.

I've seen things that claim that they do and how those grades result in future games they officiate, but there's no hardcopy evidence that any of it is true.

If you have any of the weekly score cards (not articles saying the do something), please produce them. We've shown evidence of blown calls and oddly timed "swallowed whistles" and that's no good enough, so articles claiming/suggesting that the NFL evaluates and disciplines their crews for missed or blown calls, or even seemingly unbalanced calls, isn't going to be sufficient. Otherwise there's no proof that the claimed process either exists or is used as designed.

We have learned NOTHING about his witch wife and I'm really angry about it.

If the eagles beat the Bucs I will forever say it's all on the level.

I can not believe there was no Monty Python references about witches.
