If you go back to the Denver game they lost in the AFC Championship game during the 2015/16 postseason, everyone probably remembers how tough they were on Brady, with the Broncos' defense being credited with 20 QB hits in that frustrating loss. That was the big discussion following that game, aside from Gronk's other-worldly 4th QTR performance. Oddly enough, at some point, the league later revised it to 17. So I guess they do have people who sit there and look at that stuff even well after the fact...it's pretty crazy. I never thought about it affecting something like this though...I would be losing my mind if it was me.Kind of weird that someone goes back and studies these plays.
I mean, I could somewhat understand if there was a 'player challenge process' like in baseball where a guy would request a review of a stat. But that definitely didn't happen in this case. I can't imagine someone on the offense being like 'no, that wasn't a sack. Take another look it was just a tackle for a loss.'
The Cop in me would check the stat guys phone for calls from Draftkings.
a lot easier to pay the stat guy a few thousand. This is the problem with the league getting in bed with these companies. It’s so easy to fix this. Instead of a million the guy win a little over $3,000. Which is good for Draftkings and their major investor, the NFL.
plus you are playing against computers. These fantasy sports are all’s scam! It’s like online poker, I remember ten years ago telling a buddy, I’m sure there is some kid somewhere who can see everyone’s cards, and sure enough there was!
and Facebook, don’t get me started. I’ll just end with “get off my lawn”!
The company still paid out the million, only it was split among 5 other players. So they didn’t save anything.Whoa. I totally believe this. If Tim Donoughy is real which he is, I totally believe a $10k under the table payment to the stat guy to save 1 million bucks.

Go to the 10:30 mark, but you’d need some other angle to see all the WRs downfield.
Agreed. Like how do you recover from that.....and on something so trivial?!?!?!I cannot imagine the depths of despair I would sink to if I thought I won a cool mil, only to lose it the next day.
I remember that play well. It was 2011 vs Indy. I was facing my brother in fantasy football. I had Gronk and he had Brady. He had the upper hand b/c he was gloating that any Gronk TD would be a TD for him, too (since he had Brady).The reason this stuck with me is that, 2 years earlier, Brady and Gronk hooked up for a short TD that was initially ruled a TD pass, but was later ruled to be a lateral and a rushing TD.
