It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Here's an even better question: If you believe any or all of those things, then why are you a fan of the sport? I would never follow a sport I believed to be rigged. And yet, here you are.
Either you didn't read the entire thread, or reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said in my first post that I'm done, meaning, I will watch no more until the corruption is rooted out. Considering how many people there are like you who are clinging desperately to denial, that may be a while.
Actually, as it stands, I didn't read the full 9 pages of paranoid whack jobs who think the whole world is in a conspiracy out to get them. It's just pretty odd that you created a name for yourself here called "TN patriot fan" and you're in here posting about things, and at the same time claiming not to care and that "you're done."Either you didn't read the entire thread, or reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

+1 +1 +1. This is what cracks me up about the conspiracy theorists the most. It's all about risk/reward. The NFL is making money hand over fist. If the league was fixing games then not only would the league completely cease to exist (no one would be able to trust them again) but all that money would be lost and a lot of people would go to jail.The conspiracists also fail to realize that the FBI and other federal and state law enforcement entities aren’t all rabid football fans who would ignore fixed for profit games. Many of them wouldn’t know a softball from a football and would have zero problem going after a RICO type operation. Oh wait, that’s right, the FBI et al are also in on the conspiracy along with the refs, owners, players and league .
Ignorance is bliss. You're part of the problem. And..........................favorite pastime is a sham.
There is a common theme with conspiracy nuts in that they’re steadfastly convinced that they are the most enlightened and intelligent people in the room.
Ok I was reluctant to buy into this but after listening to people tell
me it is true and considering some what I've seen/heard I am wondering.
here's some stuff to consider.
1. NBA is on record that refs take pay offs to influence game out comes
and the ref caught said he is not the only one doing it. Is it a stretch to
think there may be NFL refs doing it also?
2. PATs with an offense scoring 30+ points a game just finished off a team
with a pretty good defense in the playoffs with 40+ points and is held to
13 points by an old D.
3. The ratings for a Harbaugh vs Harbaugh Superbowl were off the scales.
There are billions involved here folks. With that much money at stake it is
possible some people were bought to influence the outcome of the game?
4. Tom Brady. Think about his body language. Did he seem like
he was really playing to win? To me he didn't have that fire in his eyes.
His body language seemed to say " I already know what the outcome will be .. so why try hard .. I'll just do what I'm paid to do"
Consider it all ask yourself ...
does it make sense that this offense is held to 13 points with NO points in the second half?
It almost seems like the no 2nd half points was
a rebellion to the game being fixed .... the only way that they could
say it was fixed without saying it verbally.
Thoughts?
A couple NFL players from the Oakland Raiders, Tim Brown and Jerry Rice, come clean.
They say Super Bowl XXVII (2002), which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won, was fixed.
Hmmm.
Now, I know there are a lot of "purists" who are unable to fathom how a professional sport can be fixed. But it's not all that difficult, in my book. Even more so, "fixes" don't start in the professional leagues.
Case in point was Ronnie Harmon, the Iowa running back who fumbled inside the 10-yard line, more than once, in the Rose Bowl. I was a young college wrestler at the time, and when I saw the man who NEVER fumbled, cough up the ball three times when the Hawkeyes were close, I screamed at the tee-vee, "That SOB was paid off."
Indeed, he was.
But that story took a good 10 years or so to emerge, after Harmon had already played in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers.
Whether we're talking about boxing, basketball, baseball, football, hockey or any other sport - there's a way to fix the outcome.
I've had a few arguments with baseball folks over the years because they claim there's no way to fix a baseball game. To this I now respond, "Okay, if that's the case, clear Pete Rose of all charges, let him manage again and make him eligible for the Hall of Fame."
Think about it. Why was Pete Rose banned from baseball for life? Because he bet on his own team.
Okay, what's wrong with betting on your own team?
Hmmm. I'd say it's because you can influence the outcome of the game.
Imagine that.
You can fix a game without even playing in it. And that's what the former Raiders boss is being accused of.
Over the past few years I've accurately predicted a lot of winners on the playing field. I've made predictions that absolutely sounded stupid. No one took me seriously. Until I won the bets.
Some of the most stunning predictions I made that came true were the Rays sweeping the Yankees in four-straight games while Boston fell to the Orioles, which put the Rays into the playoffs as a Wild Card.
Just last week a few friends called to ask me who would be going to the next Super Bowl. Without thinking I blurted out, the 49ers and the Ravens.
I was nuts. I was dead wrong. The Patriots were 67-0 at home with Tom Brady. There's no way he could or would lose at home.
Well, he did.
Was the game fixed.
I don't believe so - but you never know.
4 posts? Go away, troll.
Mods you need to lock and delete this thread immediately because the longer it stays out in public the more likely it is that they are going to see it, and believe me, you don't want to get on their badside.
What I'm about to tell you could put my life in danger, but as a fanbase you deserve to know. I spent five years as Roger Goodell's executive assistant, and in that role I saw a lot of things, and had access to a lot of files.
First of all let me just say that to those of you with the vision and intelligence to identify this whole fraud for what it is, God bless you. You're right. There is a conspiracy going on, but you've on;y scratched the surface of it.
First of all, the Baltimore-New England game absolutely was fixed. In fact I faxed out the memo myself. It went out to the officiating crew the night that the Pats beat Houston. It didn't matter who they Pats were going to play, the refs were to make sure they lost.
Ever wonder about the "all-star" ref crews they use for the playoffs? Did you ever stop to think about why they do that instead of just keeping the regular crews together? It's so they can covertly place together a crew of the most corrupt and most buyable officials for occasions just like this, what those inside the circle call "Special Assignments".
The officiating crew spent the next five days at the NFL's covert ref-training complex buried underneath Giants stadium. The families were told the officials were on a "retreat". At this complex the refs practiced the calls they were to blow over and over until they were second nature.
I think we all saw first hand that the training worked flawlessly.
Now here's the scary part. This didn't come from Roger Goodell. He's just a puppet. A middle man. No, this came down from much higher. I saw the order on Goodell's desk. On Presidential letterhead. The order to fix the game came from the White House.
That might sound hard to believe, but believe me, it's believable. So believe it. A very small number of people know about this. I was fired specifically for stumbling onto this, and more so what I stumbled upon next.
This wasn't the first fixed game in Patriots history. Both Super Bowl losses to the Giants? You guessed it, fixed! The AFCCG loss to the Colts? You guessed it, fixed! In fact, I saw documentation that firmly proved that he Patriots have not actually lost a single game since 2006 that wasn't fixed to ensure that outcome. Every Pats loss for the last 7 years was a job.
Now here's the part that really scares me. The part that might really get me killed for blowing the whistle on. The fixes didn't start then. Nope, that's just when they turned around.
My friend, the first three Super Bowls that Brady and BB won together were all fixed. I mean in hindsight it makes sense. We sit here and talk about how improbable it is that this offense only scored 13 against Baltimore, but what about the Rams? They were the Greatest Show on Turf and our defense handled them, holding them to a mere 17 points. The tuck rule in the Oakland game? INVENTED earlier that season specifically for use by the refs to assist Brady when the time came.
It's shocking but it's true. No game Tom Brady has ever played, no win, and no loss, has ever not been the result of a fix designed by the White House Football Results Consortium.
Now you might be saying, "I call BS. There's no motive." Well my friends, if you can, grab hold of a newspaper from September 2001. Dig deep into it and somewhere, probably in small print, with a minor headline, you'll find an article outlining how one Drew Bledsoe was caught having sex with Barbara Bush, former first lady and mother to then new President George W. Bush. Yep, that's right. Drew Bledsoe fu**ed the President's mom.
That's when it all started. Not only did Bush orchestrate the entire emergence of Brady to ensure Bledsoe's career would fade into nothingness, but he covered it up brilliantly. Everything was great in New England until one day, for no apparent reason, he decided to turn the tides.
No one involved in the operation is sure why. Some say Brady started to remind Bush of Bledsoe. Some say Brady too fu**ked the President's mom. But for whatever reason, after that third Super Bowl, the Presidential orders coming into the NFL head offices had a decidedly different slant.
When Bush left office he signed a secret Presidential decree stating that all of his successors from now until the end of this great country are to continue the job. Who knows, one day soon we might just see Ryan Mallet come into a game, take over the job, and win a "miracle" Super Bowl. When that happens though, at least now we'll all know better.
Godspeed true believers. What I've told you here is dangerous information. Do with it what you will but I beg of you do not tell your children what I have told you, lest they too become targets. Now I have to go and burn this computer so that they can't find me. Unless that is...they're already here.
I have thought this very same thing more than a few times.
Look at the Black Sox scandal a long time ago.
Anything is possible.
College games are rigged all of the time.
The NHL is basically ran by the Russian mafia.
Why would football be any different?
Right .. one of the best offenses ever held to NO points in the second half.
I am sure you believe that makes sense.
When defenders can hang on receivers and no calls made, what adjustments are to be made? Refs were deciding the game at that point
and the players knew it.
Good riddance! :singing: :singing:I leave you to your deluded foolishness.
