you believe and hope wisdom doesnt support my theory. you dont actually know it doesnt. You cant prove me wrong.. you only 'believe' that since a majority agree with you and not me.. that you must be right.
who won the Packers game? the good looking guy in all the commercials and the famous girlfriend, did. The guy they spent 30 minutes on before the game started. its a tv show,he's the lead actor. It was all fake and artificial drama.
why arent the best players ugly guys, since ugly people outnumber good looking people nation/world wide? how come the stars are usually better, literate speakers in interviews? theres 40 guys on a team and they only talk to 4 of them all the time. Its because they are trained in what to say and how to say it. they are hand picked, they didnt earn their spot.
people just choose not to think when they turn on tv.

Wow, you are full on tin foil hat nutty. Have fun with that friend. The rest of us will be over here in the real world if you ever wanna join us.

I'm not at all surprised that PRob played well vs Tampa. He's become a much improved player in the slot/ corner role over the years.

A lot of assumptions in your quote. You can't prove in any way I'm wrong other than believing it. I already gave examples of what reality actually is. You again assume agreeing with a majority makes you right. It's actually more mentally healthy to watch sports on tv as though it were like wrestling. The Saints won't be a in another SB for many years to come unless the nfl wants it to happen.
You saw the Saints straight up lay down for Minn. At the end and you still buy the crap? It's entertainment, nothing more. I'll enjoy it as such.

It was a bad day, everyone has them. Just so happens that our entire starting defense all had one at the same time. As others have said, I blame the coaches. Too many guys being played at new positions, too many starting because of how much they're getting paid or their draft status instead of their merit. This was a reality check. I believe they'll clean it up.

He’s not completely wrong. TV stations get paid by sponsors. It’s how they generate revenue. The stations with the best programming get more viewers. The more viewers the more the stations can charge their sponsors to run commercials.
These games are scripted to generate ratings. The outcome of every play and every game isnt etched in stone but the games are manipulated through scheduling, officiating, suspensions, and many other tactics that effect the outcome of games. This allows the NFL and the networks to put the teams that can generate TV revenue in the best position to win games.
