I have been a long time NFL fan and never thought I would entertain such an idea. But seriously, the past few Superbowls have done little to turn me against such thinking. The past SB sounds to me like someone 'high up' said "Let's make the Pats beat seemingly unbeatable odds so we can further glorify Brady for the next 10 years." Only (imo) someone went a little overboard with 'seemingly unbeatable' odds.
Now I'm not saying all games are possibly rigged, only ones that can generate huge amounts of money and publicity for the business and lend a hand to 'ulterior motives' in a much larger scripted universe than even that singular game. Now it's impossible to pay off every player, coach, manager and even referee. However, if just one is on the fix, that's all that is needed. Before you laugh that off, there has already been a NBA referee (Tim Donaghy) who has openly admitted he 'fixed games' and has served federal time. There are also several videos on youtube that promote the 'rigged NFL games' theory which give a strong case.
Former Colts player 'Bubba Smith' claimed for years the NFL rigged Superbowl 3 in order to promote equality in the NFL and generate audience numbers. After he was given numerous warnings from the NFL, he reluctantly went silent. Just me, but I've believed him all along.
You can't script fantastic athletic ability in making a seemingly impossible catch or throw, however those can easily be decided by referees. Take a look at the catch in Superbowl 50 that was ruled incomplete, even when to most, the replay said otherwise. Did you notice Cam Newton never once smiled before the game and certainly not after. Doesn't that seem a bit off? If you watch any of the NFC playoff games before the bowl all the man did was smile. It's just his nature. Just my guess, but I'm thinking someone 'high up' told him he was supposed to lose. Funny how he didn't dive for that lose fumble. A turnover that ultimately cost the Panthers the game. Who - seriously - who wouldn't dive for a fumble in the Superbowl?? Seriously? *smh*
There are many, but my last one involves the Seahawks passing from the one yard line vs the Pats. You have the best running back in the NFL and you need only one yard. You have two timeouts. This is to WIN THE SUPERBOWL. But you *throw* the ball?? Really?? I'm still guessing who made that call to Pete Carroll. He's a much smarter coach than to do something that erroneous.
I'm thinking of giving up on the NFL. Teams I like have won the Superbowl, but now I'm even second guessing those victories. The whole NFL history smells of a 'WWE-type scripted universe'. Not all games are fixed. But the ones that are ruin it for the rest of them.
What are your thoughts?
