Coach beats the team up over stupid mistakes. That's accountability. The league, in my humble opinion, has been dodging that accountability for a very (read VERY) long time. Very smart very rich people, in a room, behind closed doors, focused not on fair play but on making money.

Sure it's a conspiracy theory...and a damn good one. Nobody can prove it wrong because the league itself, like any good politician, knows precisely how to not be transparent. The league knows how to manipulate the mob.

Are we not entertained?

I too am baffled that the NFL doesn't take steps to fix the problem and wonder why. I do think they like the inconstincies as it adds suspense and drama. I would think they would want it cleaned up. I don't believe there is a conspiracy to rig the games for certain teams.
