Funny how those calls affect millions of dollars. How many penalties have affected the outcomes of games in the final seconds? Alot. If this happened on rare occasions we could call it coincidence or simple mishaps. But when it happens with regularity, it means that those outcomes are putting money in someones pockets. The NFL was founded to gamble on by mafia bosses. Its been influenced(rigged/fixed) since its invention. Its a game of money. The competition on the field means little when a few calls here and there can push the ball in a certain direction better than the Brady, Brees, Montana, Elway, Marino, and Mannings. I like watching football and if the Saints lose on some shite like this, I dont get get upset because I know there is a reason they lost that they couldnt control. Its OK. Its only entertainment. Like watching a movie every Sunday.
