You're entering unholy territory here, which might make it harder to call high-level PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES "boneheaded"... Also might make it harder to enjoy a sport that falls under the category of "Entertainment" or "Advertising".

I have for quite some time abided by the precepts from infamous historical and fictitious literary detectives that have come to conclusions that no matter how improbable and seemingly nearly impossible, the obvious is in all likelihood the answer, even if no proof is immediately forthcoming, all a result of simple observations, common sense, deductions and ruling out other possibilities. We see, from time to time, little sprinkles of truth bombs, subtle little clues if you will, emanating from sometimes the most unlikely of sources. If one pays attention and notices these and interpolates them with the behaviors of many of these characters, how can we not come to some kind of meeting of the minds? The sad reality is that all of sports is now entertainment, even college now as NIL intertwines itself more solidly. Even despite that, I find that college is far more entertaining at the present than the pros.

Yes, we can probably thank Roger Goodell for that misleading portrayal of what is perceived as real football. So, college football is still football but the NFL shouldn't be called football anymore.

What confuses me is that the gambling industry got in bed with a rigged game.....sorry, I meant rigged Entertainment.

I love to gamble but not on sporting events. Or entertainment events for that matter. If I was gambling on the NFL it would be for a Tom Brady 4th quarter comeback. Either that or the team that just built the stadium and moved to a new City earning a playoff birth with or without a talented team.
