There’s a hell of a lot more proof of fixed games than there is of the Easter Bunny. But haters gonna hate on the truth

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

These kinds of games and the two glaring Saints losses em route to the SB are prime examples. At least, number 35 for Tampon was getting called more for holding and PI for their press coverage, not that it matters on how they were officiating OPI.

So ... Was Brees good in his rookie stint as a commentator?

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

I just caught him at halftime. Thought he did well. He actually looked younger, but I'm sure they put makeup on him.

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

I thought he was sharp. Gave a quick synopsis, eye contact with the camera and a smile while doing it.. Brees is good for tv thats for sure 👌

So did he take Rodney Harrison’s spot?

Show me proof of fixed a NFL games. The fixing of an NFL game is a federal offense. The gambling industry is all over these games and would come down on actual fixing in a second.

There are, however, tons of games over time with officials' calls that as one source put it, "will boggle one's mind," but they are more incompetence than anything.

Has there ever been fixing of pro sports? Absolutely, and it is impossible to keep it hidden and is eventually discovered.

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

OPI rarely gets called, especially when the game is on the line. Officials are just hesitant to throw a flag. That is bad officiating and has nothing to do with the game being fixed.

As for the Saints, the no call against the Rams was simply a total screw up by the officials and had nothing to do with fixing a game. An NFL game could not be fixed without several people being involved and there is no way with all of the money involved that everyone would keep their mouths shut. The gambling industry avoids anything that smells of impropriety like the plague as not reporting any concerns could cost them their license and billions of dollars.

The NFL has FAR too much to lose to ever fix a game. That is a fact.

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

I watched the pregame and halftime and Brees was a natural. He'll be doing Notre Dame games, as well. I might actually watch a college game just to check him out.

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

Tampons. LOL

My dislike for the Cowboys is particularly sharp, when I think of the good
people of NWLA, who wear Black & Gold.

I remember working near Natchitoches, and thinking "I must be the only Saints fan in Louisiana."

Re: Cowgirls vs. Tampons
 

I have eyes and a brain. I’ve seen the proof in what is and is not called. It’s not hard to see that the NFL was set to make more money if LA made the SB instead of the Saints a few years back when they screwed them. It’s not hard to see that they are selling this year to be a Brady love fest. Media mouthpieces are already talking about him finally getting his perfect season to avenge the SB loss of his 19-0 Pats team.

I watched that game last night with a dozen other guys at a poker tourney, most of them Pats fans pulling for Brady. Every one laughed about the end admitting it was a blown call and bragged about how Brady always got those types of calls. To a man they agreed there was no way the refs were NOT going to give Tampa a chance to at least attempt a FG on the last drive. Holds against the D line weren’t called throughout that drive. It was as predictable as the outcome of fistfight between me and my 5 YO nephew.

As I posted to start Guido, you (of all people) aren’t going to convince me it’s not rigged. Show me proof that these “blown calls” that happen at such crucial times aren’t fixes. You believe it Because the NFL says so. I don’t.
