I know that in some games, there's definitely someone with their thumb on the scale. But I truly believe that these refs have ZERO balls when it comes to making these calls in a big game, because they don't want to get labeled as inserting themselves into the game (too much). The converse is the ref playing the 'see no evil' or even worse, the 'no blood, no foul' game. Catch 22.

With respect to calls or no calls... Damned if you do. Damned if you don't
Bingo!!!!

It is virtually impossible to rig anything in the NFL for this very reason. Someone will talk. As leilung so accurately explains, when there are more than a couple of people involved it will be exposed. In this case there would have to be dozens, or even hundreds of people involved. No way it is blown up in short order.

Bull****. There are plenty of ways to ensure nobody talks. More so now than ever with sports betting becoming legal and all.

MONEY talks. And the threat of money being withheld, silences.
It’s a business, not a sport.

The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead.

What is hidden in plain sight doesn’t require secrets, just a manipulation of procedures, and following of orders, executed at the professional level. Money makes that happen.

Nobody needs to keep a secret if its biased not rigged. Its like the kid whose dad donated a bunch of money to the school getting their papers graded easier than the poor kid with a history of being suspended. The teachers dont have to conspire or discuss. They dont have to keep a secret. They just have to realize flunking the rich kid would not be a good career move. The rams are like that rich kid with the rich owner daddy and the fancy new house who had just donated $550 million to the league to move to LA. The Saints were like the poor kid who had just been suspended in bountygate and got off easy after beating some of the suspensions and came from a poor town with an old house. Life’s not fear. People who think it is are the ones with the tin foil only they twisted it into a rainbow halo and unicorn horn. The saints got screwed because we aren’t the big market and if the nfl has to showcase one hero team and make an example of a villain team, we get cast as the villain.

Also you are complaining about me mentioning Loomis too much in a message where I did not mention Loomis at all in any way. And with a meme??? Are you 13? Go join a Falcons group on TikTok.

Our family cat is fine. Very independent. Doesn't like to use the pet door though, just meows at the screen door like we are its butler. Our dog picks on our cat a little though, cat just wants to relax and have butlers.

Do you think anyone who thinks any form of bias exists in the world is crazy? Do you think that when Dr King had a dream, it was later realized by 2018 NFL referees who are perfect people? How is it so hard for you to understand that the refs could be biased toward the team seen as their employers cash cow big market goliath against a team their boss had just suspended?
