Hi everyone. Waiting for Sunday to get there, been pondering some thoughts about last season, and the NFL in general.

Is a good way to culminate all of the fishy things about big games over the years, and the factual evidence behind a fixed NFL. Also other video's in that series for more info and evidence. Regardless, I hardly need to remind the members on this board about the Steelers and Seahawks superbowl for further examples.
If parts of the NFL are fixed, do you see calls going in favor of the Hawks this season, or even this decade? Russell Wilson is beginning to command a huge market force, appearing more and more in ads every week. He's Christian, he's an underdog, he wins, he's got a blonde foxy wife, and he's charismatic. He's basically the X factor for a marketable sports figure.
For those who don't have the underlying reasoning; basically, the NFL is legally classified as an entertainment corporation, not a sports corporation, separating themselves from any legal repercussion of manipulating or officiating their games in a certain way. They have a history of implementing questionable referee's and officiating in big games where one team's market and ratings are much more valuable than others.
With the growing market and fanbase following the Seahawks, it'd make logical and financial sense to start treating them like a cash cow franchise.
