Re: Could We Crowdfund Private Investigators Against Corrupt NFL Referees?
If they had that they couldn’t control the game.

Re: Could We Crowdfund Private Investigators Against Corrupt NFL Referees?
Honestly think it’s a ploy to get attendance down and move the organization to a bigger market. New Orleans isn’t the destination it used to be for visiting teams fans either. The crime rate here isn’t helping things. In 10 years the Saints will be somewhere else. Hopefully San Antonio since I’m only an hour and a half away.

I don't think we are a good team honestly, but somehow we've managed to hang in games and should have won them. We're getting screwed badly.

Re: Could We Crowdfund Private Investigators Against Corrupt NFL Referees?
All I know is that we get a first down conversion or third down stop I hold my nrwath because I fullt expect to see a flag thrown by a bad ref. This game is just unwatchable now. I haven't seen a game besides the Saints in a couple of years.

Re: Could We Crowdfund Private Investigators Against Corrupt NFL Referees?
I zoomed the Tampa game with my brother in Seattle and he summed it up
pretty well…. “It’s tough to devote 3 plus hours of your Sunday only to watch a game you know is going to be decided by the refs. I got better things to do.”. |

I found myself, every Sunday night, with work the next day, in an annoyed mood because of something completely out of my control. I got that invested in general fandom, that a Saints loss would basically ruin my whole week and if the refs were involved, I'd be miserable. I recognised that it wasn't fair to my wife and it wasn't making me happy, so I stopped buying Gamepass. Now on Sundays, I keep an eye on NFL play by play but I do something I enjoy instead. Play video games, watch a movie, see family and friends. |
