re: Refs still Rigging for the Rams

It's inching there but at least it still looks somewhat like the players try

Players aren’t trying. They are getting big contracts then doing shite after. Can’t blame them. I wouldn’t risk long term heath for a league that is blatantly rigged.

Damn. Lasik dunking on NFL

sucks that now the Vikings have to endure it just like NO did

The timing on the schedule of the two calls isn't even comparable so I really don't want to hear it from a Vikings fan. Especially since they have complained about the bounties for 15 years.

I hate the Rams, but the Vikings fans can also frick off.

Rams had 5 first downs by penalty to keep drives alive.

The Vikes had 0 first downs by penalty.

Did you watch the game? Those 5 were all pretty damn obvious penalties.

There's no rule that the penalties have to be equal for both teams.

It's why sports fandom has waned.

To think players spilled their guts for pennies on the dollar to make these future insane $ livelihoods....



When you don't have to care and win to make a living, all is lost on the fans.

Because, what are you rooting for but spoiled/entitled laundry?

At some point a gambler will lose a bet with such a call and there will be a lawsuit that will open the floodgates.

Nope. Been covered here over and over and over.

They have no legal standing with an "entertainment" industry. The NFL can rig games all it wants. You pay for a ticket or bet on it, that's on you. They provided the entertainment.

Until people quit watching, it won't change. With gambling so involved in the sport now, no one will quit watching.

I know it is rigged, so I only play fantasy football. $50 entry fee for a whole season in hopes to win a few hundred bucks at the end is fine with me. I follow stats, etc, but quit watching games years ago. I go into every fantasy draft not knowing who went to what team, etc. Just guess. So many injuries now anyway, along with players that quit trying after they get a big payday.

it’s another example of how these officials decide the outcome of games with possible orders from above.

The Vikings were down by 8 in their own EZ. it did not determine the game

It is another example of NOT assuming conspiracy something that can be explained by incompetence

This may be one of the most idiotic statements that I have read on this board in a long time.

Go research the rulings. Only takes a few minutes if you are familiar with the search engines bing or google.

Do you really believe that sports leagues, casinos, race tracks, etc can rig games/races all they want because they provided the entertainment?

Sports leagues absolutely can. Been discussed here many times. Does't matter how many times it is posted, the true believers deny the existence of it.

I know how to read, and I know what was put in print.

Start with the Jets fans suing the NFL after the NFL admitted the Patriots were cheating (the first time) and go from there.

After that, keep denying reality while wasting your time on your couch watching them blatantly "miss" calls for the favored teams.

It wasn't like it was a facemask where the runner was already going down to the ground and it would have been hard to see if you weren't in the exact right position. That happens.

Last night, Darnold was ripped around and taken off of his f*cking feet entirely BY HIS F*CKING FACEMASK. I'm sorry, but much like the Saints missed purposeful pass interference, there is no f*cking way on God's green Earth that all seven motherf*ckers could have missed that.

And, I don't give a sh!t about the Vikings. I don't give a sh!t about the Rams. The Saints don't have a f*cking chance and are already out of the playoffs. So, this just the opinion of a nonbiased fan who saw it in real time and couldn't f*cking believe that all seven of these c*cksuckers missed it. In the end, it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway as the Vikings would have had to go down the field - which they couldn't do in the second half -- score a touchdown, and then get a 2-point conversion just to tie it with just 1:40 left and no time outs.

Everyone on that crew should either be fired, or, AT THE VERY LEAST, be banned from post season jobs for 5 years. Until you start doing that, this will continue to go on. All of the other refs will continue to refuse to make such an obvious call so as to not call out the person looking directly at it and missing it. Of course, we know that will never happen. The f*cking clown on the missed Saints call was doing the f*cking Super Bowl like two years later -- he was f*cking REWARDED for f*cking the Saints.


Ripped off his f*cking feet...

That is fantastic
