No dumbass. I'm asking you for the same thing you asked the forum for. This guy was caught. You should be able to provide texts, emails, phone conversations etc because my backwoods arse can't seem to find it


You realize they caught Donaghy via wiretap? the iPhone wasn’t even invented when he was fixing games. The likelihood of a digital trail is almost non existent. What a shitty straw to grasp at.

What is the motivation for one to leak a script to a television show? I don’t see WWE on any of my betting apps.

You have to be a complete idiot to think these games aren't rigged when the shadiest shite happens weekly.



Who are the main benefactors of this rigging?

It only takes one. Nobody had ever heard of the guys who rigged the NBA.

Just because there are a bunch of people with big money doesn't mean that one of them isn't up to something.

The others are probably just as gullible as the people in here who grasp at straws to defend the corrupt AF NFL officials.

Richard Sherman got into trouble a few years ago for suggesting that fantasy football and the money being generated were influencing NFL decisions

Go check out the documentary about Tim Donaghy. They detail pretty succinctly how 1 official (not even all on the crew) can impact the out come of a game. It's not all that far fetched, a PI call on 3rd and long, a phantom hands to the face on a play that otherwise would have gotten the defense off the field.

It's quite easy for an official to say, "I saw what I saw", and as long as there's not a mechanism that holds them accountable, the world just sits back and watches, and they keep doing what they're doing.

With all the heat the NFL is getting for concussions right now, I wouldn't be surprised if the eye in the sky, or the on field refs take an important guy out of play. Again, the shield of player safety is an excellent one to hide behind. Hell, this week alone, there were 12 players benched for concussions. That number was 3 for the previous week.

This isn’t your dads NFL.

I think anyone over the age of 40 knew that once gambling on the nfl was embraced by the “Shield” and brought above the table that that would be the end of legitimate competition.

You can’t serve two masters.

Depends on when you bet the game. Sharp action was on the Vikings early in the week when they were -2.5, the public got the -4.5 the day of kickoff. So there's a good chance you could have won both or lost both depending on when you bet

Don't act like that college football has become more about the money as well.

I agree with some of what you're saying but college to me will continue to change as well.

When in doubt I have always used the money trail.
