I mean, the sports culture may not LOOK like yours, but that's because there is about 1000000x more money to be made off opening an upscale bar with $15 cocktails versus a Johnny's Tavern with Miller Lite on tap and chicken wings. Also, people's understanding of what LA is usually is decided by the 3-4 predominantly upscale neighborhoods they visit on business or vacation. |

Also for the thread starter...
Having a franchise guy is going to help but let me tell you something... Green Bay has had nearly 30 years of franchise QB's in a row and they have 2 bowls..Manning put in what 12 years in Indy something like that and got 1... So small market franchise QB's won 3 superbowls in 40 years...Tom Brady won that in 4 years. And he plays in Boston. |

And, that's the big difference. Player doing anything with nobody around (that isn't vulgur) is likely not getting called. Do that to an opposing player, and you're getting a flag. Pretty simple. |

Rodgers and Manning didn't get calls when they had to go face Brady...hence why Manning was labeled a choker. You remember Manning getting calls because he was higher than the Chiefs on the pecking order but then he'd take it with no lube in Boston.

You really think the NFL looks at KC and this offense and thinks ... "Meh, let's just keep them toiling in misery." |

I could see it either way in all honesty. There's evidence to support both sides.

So it was a penalty because Tyreek Hill was too close to the defender, but it's not a penalty to run up to Patrick Mahomes after he was ran over and pull the guy who ran him over off, then proceed to run your mouth for 10 seconds as 2 Chiefs players attempt to pull you off the top of him. This is all while an official is standing 3 ft away. The official had to get in the middle of the group of players though. So why was what Marcus Peters was doing not called a penalty? Someone please explain. Also in your explanation do not say that the ref didn't see it. I want a legit reason. TIA.

NFL officials have to sign a confidentiality agreement and are subject to gag orders if they talk publicly about their jobs.
In my experience, confidentiality agreements only exist to serve as a firewall to protect sensitive internal information and financial damage. What could be so sensitive about fairly officiating a NFL game? It seems like a pretty extreme measure to take...unless there is obviously something they deem that would be financially "damaging" if it were public knowledge. The writing in on the wall...if you choose to ignore it, it's your choice. Also, by creating the stupid "all-star" crew...the NFL is inadvertently admitting that some refs aren't as good as others? It was a deliberate move to sway the game...then have a contingency to apologize and say they made a mistake and will stick with the original crews. It had a built in alibi from the conception...and nobody from that crew will be held accountable. Last edited by BlackOp; 11-20-2018 at 12:18 PM.. |

Some of you are in such denial it's ridiculous. I mean look at some wrestling fans that think it's real and they openely tell you it's scripted. You guys just don't want to believe your favorite sport is rigged in some way. Then some of you guys are such manly men that you can't place blame on refs because that makes you a loser.
I'll say it again OPEN YOUR EYES |
