I agree, refs calling games differently isnt game fixing.

There is no way the NFL is manipulating games a la the WWE because if they did there's no way Vegas would allow gambling on the games anymore. That was the big thing with the XFL, the WWE guaranteed to Vegas that they would manipulate the games like they did to wrestling matches so that Vegas would put out a line and take bets on the game.

With that said I do think NFL games have been and still are occasionally fixed by organized crime or whoever but not the NFL. I think maybe 1 or 2 games total per season might be fixed. I think a fix would be done more to punish someone or make a point than as a way to make $ since it seems that trying to organize a fix to make $ is way more difficult than just going to Vegas, using the mountain of information available and making a bet.
