Because that sounds precisely what you are saying.

Do you comprehend the sheer number of people that would have to be involved to bring any validity to this speculation? Not one 'leaked email'. Not one TMZ exclusive?

Theres a handful here that speculate that the officials 'favor' Dallas. But in each game you guys mention as an example, Dallas is assessed MORE penalties and penalty yards in each of those games. That does make since and only add to contradict your claims.

Again I ask the question. If the winners are 'predetermined by the league in advance of the game'. Why do you watch?

I don't think the NFL is rigged but to sit here and vehemently disagree with the slightest CHANCE that it might be seems a bit asinine. Especially when we all know, and have seen, how corrupt the NFL as an organization can be at times.

We've seen the NBA with Tim Donaghy and MLB with Pete Rose get manipulated at some level. To think the NFL is beyond this type of meddling is close-minded.

Again, NOT saying it's true. But it definitely is a possibility.

With all that being said, and as hard as it is to admit, the Cowboys are Red-Hot right now. I don't think NFL officiating has anything to do with their wins, they're simply playing good football.
