is the NFL shady or legit ?

you guys keep saying 'fix'. there is no fix, the NFL is legally allowed to manipulate games as they choose because they are an entertainment business as government has said so.

the Pats made it to a conference championship last year with 14 signed rookies. I'm sorry but Brady and Belichick aren't that good LOL and its their 14th year of success including the SB with the Packers before the 14 year run.

Then why are you a fan? What's the point of fandom if it is all determined in a smoky back room?

This. I think it would be naive to believe at some point in time, some people didn't get together to conspire to fix a game, and I'm sure it's happened. But going WWE style and fixing every match all the way to the SB? Lol. That's just insanity.

More speculation and horsehockey.

Why would they manipulate to give one team a 14 year run? What other teams would approve of that? Where is the head of the manipulation, and what is it's designed goal. Certainly it would be more entertaining to watch Belicheck fall from the heights, or Brady get stood up on the field and then by Giselle.

The NFL probably could do it if it wanted, but fans and media would root it out, and the NFL would lose it's fan base. Heck when spygate came out, there was a huge outcry, and when they put in bad refs the fans outrage at the poor officiating certainly played a role in bringing the regular officials (bad as they can be) back to the field.

The NFL has a high value product by letting the human forces of the team game play out on the field. It would be a fool's errand to increase a small percentage of entertainment value at the expense of the (pretty strong) integrity of the game.

To many people would have to keep their pie hole zipped. That's the only reason I'm not a believer. Same with the Kennedy conspiracy theory. If more than one is involved or gets pinched they always talk. Httr.

Easy to tell that you have never played the game yourself . Look I don't know if you lost a lot of money or play to much madden but I think the thread should be locked .
