re: Has there been a game in recent memory that you think was fixed or had point shaving?

That race Dale Jr. won after his father's death at Daytona.

I didn't even really watch NASCAR at all back then and even non-fans could smell that WWE fix for Dale Jr. a mile away.

From May of 2000 until his win at Pepsi 400 -Daytona in June of 2001, Junior had won exactly zero times, a span of 36 races.

But driving the car that was on a 36 race losing streak, he somehow passed six cars in two laps, which is a feat only repeated by Ricky Bobby as far as we know.

Some have suggested that the drivers ahead of Junior eased back to let him win, while others have speculated that NASCAR gave Junior preferential treatment in his car's inspection, allowing him to soup up the car that had been losing.

Even racing legends like Bill Elliot, Richard Petty, and Richard Petty's mustache believe that something is fishy with NASCAR. Elliot in particular has been vocal, suggesting that "they still try to dictate results."

4th quarter of 2010 NBA Finals Game 7 was brutal. Try watching that with an unbiased opinion. LA shot more FTs in fourth than BOS did entire game. Called the final quarter entirely different than previous 3 quarters.

Cavs come back from down 3-1 to beat the warriors in 7. Curry just happens to go cold 3 games in a row after absolutely wrecking the whole season/playoffs???

That's probably the one game I've ever seen that just felt dirty to me. That officiating was heavily lopsided in Pittsburgh's favor

I completely forgot about this but this was just as bad as Super Bowl XL
