Ya'll mother****ers aren't special, independent thinkers. You're a dime a dozen. And EVERY fan base has them. And every time their team loses, it's because rigged.

Games aren't rigged, but they are ABSOLUTELY steered towards a certain result. If you don't see that, you have your head up your ass.

I would think propping up the young Mahomes would be more what the NFL would want if it were rigging things. Jeebus, after the black QB segments and black history lead in...

What does the NFL gain from having their most watched, prized game turn into a complete dud? |

If the NFL could have their choice of storylines you can bet your ass it woulda been Mahomes vs Rodgers in the SB.

For starters, I’m not saying it happens consistently. I think it seems to happen most when TV contracts are up for renewal.
But I don’t think they were too concerned about everyone tuning out because the Chiefs were down a few scores. Every NFL fan knows that Mahomes digs out of holes like that every other game. Hell, there were probably more people who tuned in when they found out KC was in danger of losing than those who tuned out. |

I’d think they’d have favored the State Farm Bowl too, but its hard to go wrong with the “GOAT vs future GOAT” storyline. It’s becoming a pretty good rivalry. They might want to milk as much as possible out of it til Brady hangs it up. And I’m not saying they were planning ahead, but imagine the ratings for a grudge match next season. |

Again, I was clearly on your side before my cousin, who is a 49'ers fan, pointed it out to me. But, you're on a roll - and nobody seems to be able to tell you anything today, so process it however you want. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49...-super-bowl-54 |

BUT then, in the context of what's been discussed today regarding how games are affected / pushed by the refs/league; Once can ask - What he saw, or what he chose to see? Maybe the refs were instructed to call OPI that day? Who knows? My point is that after I really took a look at the paly again, IMO KC got a huge break, which helped them go on to win the Super Bowl. You and I just see things differently, and I have no problem with that. You're right far more times than I am around here anyway. |
