Yep, and the pats only scoring 13 points, and in the red zone what 6 times? Just doesn't add up.

I'll ask you the same question I ask all the conspiracy theorists (and have yet to have answered):

If you believe that, then why are you a fan of the league?

I was a fan of Brock Lesnar when he wrestled NCAA...I wanted Brock to win the belt in the WWE....

I've been an NFL fan since I was 7 and I'll die a fan...doesn't change the fact that the past decade seems shady.....SB after SB with curious calls and non calls, yet every game in doubt right down to the last minutes of the 4th quarter...yeah, it makes for great entertainment...it's just doesn't fit the look test.

This has been the one thing that always bothered me. There should be blowouts in the Super Bowl

The Bears blew out the Pats 46-10...remember that one...the enxt day the cry was all the viewers switching channels in the 3rd quarter....companies paid for air time for their ads and lost 3/4's of their anticipated audience for the last 20 minutes of that game...and others....Desmond Howard prompted mass channel clicks back in '96.

Then comes 2000 and everything accelerates...ticket prices go up...prices for 30 second ads go stratospheric...TV contracts blow sky high....billions of new dollars make their appearance...and ever since, every single season, there's this "the mafia is fixing game!!!---"no they're not, do you know how many people would have to b in on it!!!"....THAT is the ol' misdirection....there's no mafia fix, there's no one "in on it".... EXCEPT the 32 owners, TV networks and advertisers...why would they EVER admit to collusion?...they're raking in billions upon billions of previously unforeseen monies...it's a veritable treasure bath.

Take a three week old rotting rainbow trout....paint it with three shades of spray paint...you STILL have a rotten trout...but half the people will insist it's fresh caught today..."just look at those colors!!!!"....

Horrible analogy. The WWE makes absolutely zero pretense that it is an honest competition. It's much like going to the circus; you see great athleticism but not any sort of actual contest. Just a pre-scripted ballet.
But you haven't answered the question. WHY are you a fan of a sport that you feel is rigged? The very essence of enjoying competitive sports comes down to the idea of fair play.

We as a society are somewhat forgiving of those who cheat to get ahead. But rigging outcomes of championship games? That was be an unforgivable, deadly sin.

Joker

There's nothing I can say to you that will change your mind...you KNOW it's all on the level

I say to you I was a fan of the NCAA wrestler Brock Lesnar-(the NFL pre 2000)

I say I am still a fan of the WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar (the NFL post 1999)

you still go beserk accosting me with "that's a horrible analogy!!!!!"...WTF is it with you??? you must be the "I'm always 100% right about everything and if you disagree anything you say is horrible!!!!" internet Einstein.

Believe what you want...99% of the educated ruling classes of Europe believed the earth was flat in 1450.....and used the exact same denunciation YOU just gave me.

Brady_to_Moss

at least we don't follow European soccer...talk about the norm

Probably because they're rigged? There is proof of that happening.

Prove to me that sports aren't rigged. Good luck with that one bucko...

and Pete Rose is a saint too.

You probably believe everything that you hear on tv. Those late night infomercials love you.
