I'll be skipping the Super Bowl. I'll be around to talk Patriots and stuff, but I'm getting to a place where I'm wondering what the point is.

I could go point-by-point in that 4th quarter of the AFCCG in terms of officiating, but you all saw what I saw.

The NFL being in bed with the casinos and gambling sites, and happily taking their money will be the absolute downfall of this league, not the concussion stuff.

Within 20-25 years, this sport will be deader than baseball. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, and I'm usually pretty non-commital with a bad call here and there, even in a crucial spot, but the winner of that game was predetermined by the league, once the Chiefs were in it in the 4th quarter. I don't think I could be convinced otherwise.

There has been far too much of this dubiousness in the last couple of years, starting with the DraftKings/FanDuel stuff, and now just outright taking money from MGM, and putting a damned sportsbook in Washington's stadium.

I'd say 'the owners need to reverse course', but they won't, because the checks clear.

So, enjoy those Kelce Brothers interviews this week, I guess, I won't be a part of them. 🤷

I actually had this same discussion with my hubby tonight....sadly. I guess I’m hoping I’m wrong.

@TommyD420
love having you around, but i get it. i loathe the hypocrisy of the nfl getting in bed with gambling but suspending ridley, forcing injury reports etc. not big on,"i can do it but you can't because i said so" crap. starting with the cameragate crap, it became apparent the nfl engineered things to suit purposes. my interest has gone from rabid to much less so. pats losing used to ruin my week. offseason seemed interminable. couldn't imagine life without sunday ticket. devoured all print media about the team and nfl, etc. none of those describe me now.

NFL is entertainment, not a sport. It is entertaining at times. It's like watching a fiction movie. You can still watch it and enjoy it, but, it's rigged.

There's way too much $$$$ being gambled on for it not to be.

All the world's a stage...

...but, Tommy is right. It's not legit.
 
9/11 happened...Pats win. Katrina happened...Saints win.

Earl Campbell compared modern NFL to WWE. Joe Thomas compared Goodell to Vince McMahon.

NFL = entertainment/gambling

Ok.

Can possibly buy a small part of this, but please explain the 20 years of Patriot success following 2001 against tons of things stack against them and enacted to stop these 3 dynasty?

Maybe begin with how it was preordained for Adam to nail those 2 kicks in the wind and snow against the Raiders which was a large part of a turning point year.

Watch the videos...some of it is luck for sure though. Especially the video: "Is The NFL Fixed?" video. It's spot fucking on.

The NFL absolutely is the WWE and fake wrestling. The 911 and Katrina examples are spot on. Also the 49ers were big when Reagan was President (California guy).

In another league it was written very clearly how a NBA ref rigged games (Doneghy). Highly possible the NFL caters to massive gambling money. It’s way too easy to swing a NFL game with a 15-yard flag or also a huge non-call.

Eddie Jr. used to own the 49ers. Yorks are related to him.

Bidwell family are also mob connected.

If the Eagles win (favored to), just remembered as well that JoeB is from Delaware, right next to Philly

I hear you, Tommy. Beating the refs has been real for years.
My belief the Eagles will smash the Chiefs keeps me interested.

I don't need to go through the game but how about just the very last play of the game for Mahomes?

15 secs left. Very obvious. Refs ignoring holding calls against the Chiefs but calling them on the Bengals to help KC?
How convenient that some Bengal idiot also pushed Mahomes outside the boundary.
It wouldn't take much to swing a game. Few notice and fewer care. Imagine how big BB's dirty file is by now.
