Damn. Every State game I’ve watch for 40 years except for a few years have been scripted. Who knew.
Not Football League?

I find it hard to believe that the team with the best quarterback, the best defense, and the best coach would be winning Super Bowls. It just doesn't add up.
Trump got more votes in 2020 than any other candidate in the history of the US...except Biden.
Its odd that someone can completely accept that Trump got more votes in 2020 than any candidate in any prior election, but they cant accept that someone else in the same election also got more votes than any candidate in any prior election.
The reality is that a record number of people voted in 2020. Its really that simple. Both candidates got more votes than any candidate before them in this history of the country.
If the NFL was rigged, the Cowboys would've made the Super Bowl at least once this Century.
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Ding, ding. We have a winner. And THAT league uses indentured servants to play the game.
Professional sports have way too much money wrapped up in them, which makes it too easy for them to be manipulated in some form of fashion. I don't subscribe to the WWE theory, but a few questionable things happened way too often in the NBA and the NFL. I Will tell you that if I am an owner and I have millions of dollars tied up in players' contracts and how much I get in games and merchandising. Why wouldn't we want to "take care of it" or at least have the big dogs eat first at the table?
You’d have a point with elections if the last one didn’t involve all 5 swing states, who are supposed to have no relation to each other, shutting down at the exact same time to allow one candidate to overcome a statistical impossibility with mail-in ballots. I don’t get what some of y'all just refuse to see there, outside of sheer stupidly or gross naivety.
NFL? Who gives a 17. I would bat an eye of the entire concept folded.
Definitely sheer stupidity for many, but there some pathological liars in there for sure.
Yea. Youtube has a video of him running for a td against Miami where the players don't tackle him.
I agree so I won't argue with you. Sorry to debate an issue on here when an NFL player brings it up. Sad that name calling starts.
How long would Mahomes last in a game against the 85 Bears ? 2-3 minutes into the first quarter ? How would some of these dunces do if they had to read defenses and didn’t have flag football rules ? Not real football, it’s entertainment with bastardized rules.
True, but not for me. I didn't even watch the Superbowl or any other games. I watched about 5 Dallas games and saw the official favor Dallas in 3 and their opponent in the other 2. When you are indifferent it becomes clearer.
probably for the same reason why I don’t talk about how I have two legs. It’s just known and accepted by everyone around me because it is so easily seen.
There is no reason for me to strike up conversations with - 'hey, did you know I have 2 legs?'.
That's true now but for years it was like the NFL. People acted the same when it was postulated that wrestling was fixed or scripted.
Proof: https://arstechnica.com/science/202...ida-school-where-11-of-kids-are-unvaccinated/I swear that since I was a kid, the 50% of people who are smarter than average have gotten smarter and the 50% of people that are dumber than average have gotten dumber.
The divide continues to grow.
You asked a question, a dumb one in my opinion, and I gave you an honest and respectful answer.
You then agree with the answer and immediately pivot with a 'but' and try to shift the goalposts.
You didn't ask about how wrestling was 50 years ago so I didn't answer with consideration to how wrestling was 50 years ago.
Since I was 10, I've known wwf/e is heavily scripted, so that's going back to the start of the 90s.
I really don't know how people acted in your fantasy world where they found out wrestling was scripted, but to compare it to what you are spewing here with the NFL is absurd.
Which remains an unanswered question. Unless you want to tell me all the NFL players are in on it. That all the scouting and drafting is an act and the most talented players in high school and college make it to highest level not bc of their football talent, but bc they coincidentally are also the best actors without loose lips. It's not even remotely possible to keep it a secret. As far as wrasslers, there's nothing to keep secret.
Wow, you sure read a lot into what little I and and an NFL player said! Simply posted what he said and said after watching I agree with him. Do I know the methodology that the NFL uses? No, but I will say that I got a similar response years ago when I said on Gene's page that players were being paid in college football. We all know what was going on now. I knew when I posted this y'all would go berserk.
Not just players. Think how many people are around the team, in the locker room, attending practice. They got medical staff, video folks and interns all “on the take” to keep the big secret under wraps?? Can you imagine how many millions of dollars TMZ would pay for one of these alleged game scripts?
Not to mention, like 10 starting QBs went down with season ending injuries this year. They need to get these actors under control and stick to the script!****
You’re overthinking it. All it takes is an officiating crew and some money. Neither team has to be complicit in the take for there to be a take.
The Cowboys looked like deer in the headlights before their playoff game and they were absolutely destroyed by the refs in the first half. They apparently had the courtesy of knowing they were done beforehand. That was unnerving.
State has had many better teams than Bama in most every sport that have fallen victim to the same shít. Same as against KY in basketball.
It really isn’t a hard concept. Definitely not worthy of ridicule.
There's a very large step from nefarious individuals trying to rig a game with the risk of all the criminal implications, bans, fines, etc. that comes with it to a full fledged scripting of outcomes that would require the coordination of hundreds of people that would be thrown under a jail cell if they got busted. This thread wasn't about occasional shenanigans- it was about full fledged fiction.
Vegas has been playing with the line for years, anyone who has gambled a little and watched games knows this. NFL INC. has just taken it to a whole new level.
It started with an ex NFL player spewing it. Maybe you are living in the fantasy land. I'm done with the NFL so I'm not living in that world.
You sound more bonkers with each additional post you make.
We are now at the point where you are basically 'just asking questions'...which is a weak attempt to cover the crazy and baseless claims you have already made.
But sure, it may be me that's in a fantasy land. I can't prove I am not, so in your mind that means you have a point with this.
