It is also so many people trying to be edgy, like the Superbowl plans thread on tOT where 90% of the replies are about how they have no intention to watch the game.


My favorite version of that is the people who rage out and let you know how they can’t stand that most people eat turkey on Thanksgiving and instead get basic Chinese takeout, Tex Mex, or some other shite they already eat 50 times a year. Never mind that Christmas and Thanksgiving are generally the only times most people will ever make it so it’s not like a typical TDay dinner is something they could actually be worn out on from eating all the time.

There was only one official paid to call it. Every official isn’t watching the ball.


Yeah...because I've never seen 3 refs throw a flag on an obvious penalty.

I put this in a reply to you in another thread on the topic. You're misrepresenting what Rice and Brown said. They didn't say the game was rigged, they accused Callahan of throwing the game. That's not the same thing.

Can they go back in time and call pass interference on the rams.

Refs are graded every week there, guy.


So? This year the head ref will be the guy that led the crew that called one of the most blatant no calls in the history of the sport.

Again, no integrity, guy.

A better question is why they keep showing a singer during a football game.

It would be stupid for networks not to show her based on how much attention she gets for 27 seconds of screen time per 2.5 hour broadcast.

Yeah that entire thread was a weird flex.

I bet you those 90% will at least watch some of the game and they won't admit it.

Correct. An estimated 350M boon for the NFL this year due to new “fans”. Again, money drives everything.

The NFL is in court documents stated entertainment. It is not rigged. It is adjusted for your viewing pleasure. The scripts are fluid and are responsive to the consumers wants and desires while maximizing profits.

Given the fact that the two teams people least wanted to see in the Super Bowl made the Super Bowl, I don’t know how anyone can think it is rigged. The is the least hyped I’ve seen a Super Bowl since the one the Saints got screwed out of. I didn’t watch the one back then, but I am going to have it on tonight since I don’t feel like going to any parades.

Well I’m no conspiracy theorist but you have to wonder if they wanted the extra Taylor Swift audience who may not be NFL fans to tune in for the game ??

This is about to set the record for most people viewing a televised event/show...what the heck are you talking about?

Michigan population-10 million

I don’t understand that angle. Are you saying people are going to tune in just to see a flash of Taylor Swift for 15 seconds? She’s annoying as hell but that doesn’t make any sense.

WellI don’t know. How many million teenage Swift fans who wouldn’t normally watch do you think will tune in just to see a few shots of her in the stands ?

And here is the groundwork for the goalposts to move if San Fran wins.

Classic conspiracy Tard tactic.

This. No excuse not to be with todays technology


I had a meeting with a rep from the company that does the trackers in the helmets and telemetrics teams use during practice to tweak reps and drills. He told me there is a chip in the ball that could eliminate the need for measurement and could automatically determine whether the ball breaks the plane of the goal line. Explain to me why we’re not using this in games other than to retain the ability to manipulate the outcome via “judgement calls.”

The only retards who believe the NFL is rigged are people who don't regularly watch

Probably because the technology isn’t precise enough yet.
