So you’re saying the game was fixed?The Rooneys got a gift they have been around so long when they fart you see dust, Bettis a send off party in his home town, and yes the NFL has something to gain, merchandizing for the Steelers much better then the Seahawks with the Rapist there and us with really no big name guys, advertising for games the next year again with the Steelers. Goodell doesn't like our franchise, he had investigations about our crowd noise launched after we beat the Giants in the Shockey game. Wasn't a big fan of Paul who sent Representatives to League meetings most the time etc and didn't join the Jerry club and at that time was the richest owner as well.
No, the NFL would never do that they care about player safety and the fans right? And games are never ever steered every week right?So you’re saying the game was fixed?
We lost against the Pat's. No hanky panky.My team lost the Super Bowl, had to be rigged. Human error? That wont help me cope.
His family was.Wasn't one of the referees from PittsTurd?
The trick in answering that question is in understanding exactly what you mean by "games." The plural usage spans the range from a couple to all. I don't think anyone would be here if they believed all the games are fixed. I don't think they'd be here if they believed most of the games are fixed. Or half. Or a third. Or a tenth.Honest question: If you honestly believe, as some of you apparently do, that NFL games are fixed or steered towards a predetermined outcome, why would you continue to be fans of the game to such a degree that you'd participate in a forum like this?
I agree, that IF there were any game fixing, that it would be few and far between, most likely playoff or championship games where large amounts of betting activity occurs. But even then, if I felt that any given game MIGHT be fixed, especially if it involved a team that I had a large amount of emotional capital invested in like my Seahawks, I'd swear off the entire sport.The trick in answering that question is in understanding exactly what you mean by "games."

Speaking for myself, I believe that IF there is any officiating shenanigans happening, it wouldn't be happening on more than one or two games per year. Any more than that, it would be discovered. So I believe that without evidence to the contrary, virtually all NFL games are officiated without any intent by anyone on the field to sway the game one way or the other.
But SBXL* has a stink about it. The entire country saw it happening when it happened. Pitt apologists and history revisioners didn't start getting loud until several weeks after the game. They didn't dare until the dust had settled.
Gee, I don't know, maybe because addictions are hard to break, or we enjoy social discussions where there's a common interest?Honest question: If you honestly believe, as some of you apparently do, that NFL games are fixed or steered towards a predetermined outcome, why would you continue to be fans of the game to such a degree that you'd participate in a forum like this?
