f you watch enough NFL football you’ll start to question whether or not some of it’s fixed. I never feel that way about college games.
fwiw, i have some friends who are just shy of being pro gamblers, and this topic came up again a few times early this year, when phantom calls and non calls were deciding games.

They have a great deal of money riding on this answer and they still think the refs ars inept, not corrupt. Its not like the NBA where one guy can give LeBron 30 points on free throws alone. For now, they still feel an NFL game simply has too many moving parts to dictate the winner with calls on the field.

I am a Saints fain, but bleed purple & gold. Sunday’s are more of a social event.

Whichever it is, the refs have a bigger impact on a lot of games than the athletes. I'm not one of the guys thinking it's all rigged and predetermined, but it's become all about what call is being made/missed. There was one saints game this year where there was flags on 4 consecutive plays. I turned it off because it was just brutal and uninteresting. It wasn't even all against us...it just became unwatchable

I still watch the Saints, but that's about it. Then after they lost to Minnesota I saw Drew Brees out there laughing and having a good time. I knew then it's all about the money and, regardless whether they win or lose, they get paid. It's all business and a bottom line. I'll take college football any day of the week.

Growing up I was all Saints and all NFL 24/7! My interest in the NFL and I hate to even say the Saints has slowly deteriorated over the years. I only watch the Saints now, no other NFL, not even the SB any longer.

Goodell and Co and all the protesting and bullshite rules has ruined it for me.

This has been a great NFL season.

I enjoy the game played in the NFL, the athletes are just other worldly. Yes, I like the college game better probably, but mainly out of my loyalties. The product is pretty bad at times.

Same here....haven’t watched more than 10 minutes of it since the kneeling.


That and all the "dancing" after a TD. It's like dancing with the stars in pads!

I’ve actually lost interest in both NFL and College football as I’ve gotten older. I have grown to appreciate MLB

Look I’ve lost a lot of interest in the NFL, really only watch the Saints and the playoffs, but I don’t need to be glued to the tv, and if the game sucks I find better stuff to do. BUT You prefer the pro sports league with a major cheating problem over college football! That is crazy talk... its making the Saints “no call” look like a Sunday drive with mammaw.
