And narcissism. That's a word. Myopic is a personal favorite, because it's less...personal. Is that ironic?

Professional sports could NEVER be rigged, eh?

Here, a PROFESSIONAL makes a strong...suggestion?

Professional sports can absolutely be rigged. It has happened before and has been easily discovered and proved. You cannot hide fixing games in todays world. What you have just posted simply shows the sad state of affairs in the NFL when it comes to officiating. There is nothing orchestrated. It is pure and simple incompetence. And it's going to continue to occur until the NFL goes to fulltime officials.

Believe as you wish. Stop telling other people they're wrong.

You think the NFL wants one of it's most popular minority coaches to lose in Prime Time on the heels of said coach fending off rumors that he's being considered for a prominent college coaching gig?

Maybe you can explain how a player gets called for a block below the waist when he (a) never touched the player in question and (b) never touched that player inside the box making any such play legal. And that taunting penalty? They don't even call that in college.

Those are just missed 'real time' calls huh... They are interpretations made at key times inexplicably. By professionals who aren't stupid and rarely make those "mistakes".

Any real challenge to it's officiating post game gets a nice fat fine in your inbox. That's horse****. PLENTY of players and coaches have and continue to state the officiating is bad. Maybe it's "bad" by design. You sure as hell can't prove that it isn't, and I don't care how you feel personally. I don't think anyone else here cares much either.

You fail to consider all options. That, sir, is your prerogative, stupid as it may be.

C'mon Man...

As I stated, officiating is horrible and will remain so until fulltime refs are instated and there is an official "eye in the sky". Until that date paranoid fans are going to continue to believe in the fallacy that the game is fixed and the league is out to get them.

I'm moving on. Y'all corner the market on tinfoil.

They are not paranoid and it is not a fallacy, and players and coaches (including Tomlin recently) have and keep saying the same things over the years. And yet you're right and everyone else is "paranoid"? You're an arrogant little man aren't you? That's the part about being a grown up you can't grasp. I truly hope you move on. Since you think everyone else is paranoid, and now that you've said as much, please DO NOT come back to this thread and start with people. How 'bout that? That way others can discuss without fighting.

Thanks!

Re: Minnihaha Miracle Revisited

Respectfully disagree with those that state that it was a rookie mistake. The video linked clearly shows something to ponder if not revolting as a fan. It's really sad to see one of many games completely fixed like boxing has been for a while .
