See, I don't have a problem with this...

It's this kinda of stuff that makes us look bad, especially while the non-essential government was shut-down (though the optics from #fakenews media put proper perspective vs Cassidy, not Richmond)...

Nonetheless, both ARE unaccountable morons...

Even this is fair...

With all due respect, jeanpierre, I think it's a little dramatic to use the partial government shutdown, as if it's some kind of horrific crisis, to say that they can't discuss this matter. Both sides knew where they stood in the negotiations. I don't think it hurts anybody to bring up the fact that a gazillion dollar business is showing a lack of impartiality with it's officiating.

If the NFL were to be found of fixing games, that becomes an ENORMOUS can of worms. You're talking about essentially scamming fans, and also it would raise a ton of questions about what sort of under the table deals the league might have in regards to gambling. And betters, themselves, would have grounds to sue the NFL for their losses. And that is just the sort of thing that would end the NFL, or at least those currently in charge of it.

I think that's relevant.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
