I watch because I love the Saints and hope that the league will call the game fair or to our side. For most of this year (and mostly since Katrina) they have. I never said it was completely predetermined, only that there is a bias. Read what I wrote rather than put words in my mouth. I said I expect us to have to overcome some bad calls to beat the Vikings, not that it was predetermined we would lose. Sorry if you cannot understand the difference. If you want to deny the countless number of times it has happened to us in our history that is fine with me. I prefer to keep my eyes open and be realistic. Newsflash to you - there have been plenty cases where the Saints have lost games in their past due to poor calls by the refs. It has nothing to do with sucking. The Niner teams of the 80's got evey call in games against us because they were the darlings of the league. The Dome Patrol teams didn't suck, but they got shafted sure enough. |

Re: CONSPIRACY
If there really was a conspiracy, the Vikings would be playing the Packers for the NFC Crown. Nothing against the Saints here, but the amount of viewers for the two games they played in the regular season were record breakers. The NFL would be licking their chops over that one.
Or maybe a Vikings/Jets Superbowl. There's a story line for you.;) |
Re: CONSPIRACY
So it all boils down to symantics and what is meant by conspiracy ( a term I have not used in this thread until now). It wouldn't take some clendestine effort to make a difference. The commish (way before Goddel) could have said in an owners meeting or memo to league during the summer or during labor negotiations with the refs "Wow, what a great season we had. Team x had a great year in winning the SB. More people watched that game than ever! We also had record merchandise sales this year. Hey, I see team x lead all in those sales as well. Wow people sure like to represnt teams X,Y, and Z. Also player so and so lead all individuals in jersey sales. Interesting. Anyway, let's get back to our discussion about revenue". So, they know high revenue for the league will mean more money for the refs and players when the next contract negotiations come around. So, no, I don't think that someone has whispered to the refs or sent a memo out to anyone to cheat. But any ref knows it is better for league revenue if the Steelers, or Pats or Colts or Giants win games than if the Saints or Seahawks or Texans win games. Better league revenue means more available money for them as well. Some may call that a conspiracy. It's not the WWE, so it is not fixed all the way, but the field is hardly level.
I appreciate if you think it is all on the up and up. I wish I did. I just don't. But I don't think that means we can't or won't win. Just that we will have to work that much harder and be that much better than Mini-sota. Because if it comes down to a close game with an important review to determine if Bret f;&@ing Favre threw an int or not, I don't like our chances. |
Re: CONSPIRACY
St Mike, think about what you wrote. The ref's actions would be very far removed from any financial benefit he might receive.
Favre sells jerseys. If I throw a flag, Favre goes to the SB. Revenues increase league wide by .0000001%. Commish sees this increase and spreads the wealth to all refs. The difference in my pocketbook is .05% --- maybe, if all goes well with my evil scheme. Payday baby! |
