I'm sort of split. While I would love to see Denver finally win another Super Bowl after these last 15 years, a tiny part of me actually would be okay with Denver losing to Indianapolis or New England these next two weeks. Even better would be Denver losing to Indy and Seattle beating either Indy or New England to win back to back Super Bowls, just to see how sockboy would try and somehow spin his way out of being so blatantly wrong.
It'd hurt as a Broncos fan to see them lose and fall short again, but if it meant "taking one for the team" when it comes to sockboy and his predictions, I think I could eventually get over another playoff loss.
Sorry, wrong again! There wasn't a single blowout this entire weekend.Originally Posted by ram29jackson
You know I have been using my logical brain more lately, taking in some extra protein for added help and while dwelling on this issue I came to a change in thinking. I think I read a post by ram where he made a claim about all pro sports being fixed and this got my hamster spinning his wheel. Being into golf I used to go to many PGA events as well as the majors (no open yet). As an Augusta area native I have been going to The Masters since 1979, worked the scoreboard at 13 in high school and have even played the National on three occasions. I have played and watched tons of golf is my point........................
So, It dawned on me how stupid I was to think that the 50th Masters event was anything special.....................let's look at the evidence.............
#1
Seve Ballesteros at the time the supposed best player in the world. Now at the time of vid #1 he is leading......watch and think...
To the untrained eye this looks extraordinary I'm sure. However, as a few of you know the same golfer two holes later chunks a mid iron into the water and blows the tournament.
#2
Greg Norman at the time, #2 in the world. Leads after three rounds, on Sunday under apparent pressure makes a what appears to the untrained eye a sloppy double bogey on the 10th. TV coverage returned to Norman on the 15th.....watch and think....
#3
Tom Kite was a world class player and missed short putts on the 14th and 18th......find your own vids....
#4
Jack Nicklaus, the "winner" was 46 and supposedly past his prime. He plays three and a half rounds and can't make a putt.....then all of a sudden can't miss??? Give a break. For those of you that still think something special happened you can live in fantasy land and watch this....
It is obvious that the golf money folks have through the years hired great players to stage these events for their own profit. This was merely payback because Jack Needed new endorsement deals etc. Seve got his 5 majors to placate Spain/Europe, Greg Norman had to play the "almost" player.
I have awakened from my slumber of ignorance
Oh golf is absolutely fixed. There is no way that you can tell me that these players can play so well at one point and then so terribly at another. I mean they are playing on pristine courses with world class care, there is no way that they could ever "miss" a putt or hit a bad shot. They all know which way the grass is cut each day on the greens so some of them can make the miraculous putts and others can miss it.
Tony Romo got sacked 6 times...
I guess that whole back problem wasnt a thing.....?
but they may well make Rodgers leg problem a serious issue as to why the Packers fail...?
fans have such short attention spans.
and since I know Steelerfan enjoys these so much,here's another
Remember when NJ Governor Chris Christie was the NFL's public enemy #1 for trying to legalize sports gambling in his state? Why's he jumping around with Jerry Jones after the Cowboys' highly controversial win over the Lions?
Also, remember when it was a big deal that the NFL's Head of Officiating Dean Blandino was filmed getting off Jerry Jones' son's party bus back in the summer and the NFL told everyone it was no big deal because there certainly wouldn't be any conflict of interest (even though every review is now run through the NFL's home office in NYC while being overseen by Blandino)?
Then came Sunday's grand finale of Wildcard Weekend. So here's the series of events that gave the Cowboys the game: On 3rd-and-1, Stafford's pass to Pettigrew resulted in a pass interference call against the Cowboys which is not only announced, but the marked off on the field. About 45 seconds later, that call was reversed - without an explanation. During this fiasco, Dez Bryant charged out on the field to argue the call which also should've resulted in a flag against the Cowboys. This was ignored. So even if referee Pete Morelli was correct in picking up the flag on the pass interference call (which he explained away to an unnamed "pool reporter" as being too minimal of contact to warrant a flag - even though former Head of Officiating turned FOX broadcaster Mike Pereira stated on air & on twitter that the call was incorrectly reversed), the Lions should've had a drive-extending first down thanks to Bryant's antics.
I love, by the way, how ESPN (one of the NFL's biggest broadcast partners) added this nugget of information to one of its articles on this penalty, "This sequence of events will push this game into the echelon of NFL history -- the "Phantom Flag Game" was an initial start on social media -- and the ensuing confusion was a bad look for the NFL. Is it the primary reason the Cowboys won and the Lions lost? No. The decision reduced the Lions' win probability at that point from 78 percent to a still-healthy 66 percent."
True or not, I wonder what that percentage dropped to after the Lions faked going for it on 4th-and-1, and then kicked a 10-yard punt to give the Cowboys the ball back on their own 41? Or I wonder what those percentages became when the Lions were called for not one, but two defensive holding penalties--the first
on 2nd-and-10 at the Lions' 21, the second on 3rd-and-7 on the 13--which kept the Cowboys' game-winning drive alive?
Of course, it's only "conspiracy theorists" like myself (and dozens of people who emailed or tweeted me about this game) who think that this was done purposefully. You know, because the first Cowboys-Packers playoff game to be played in Lambeau Field since the famed "Ice Bowl" won't draw in a massive audience as opposed to that Panthers-Packers rematch to which we should've been treated. And becase, you know, there's no way a league as powerful as the $10-billion-a-year-and-rising NFL -- when backed by those same broadcast partners set to benefit from such a TV-made matchup -- could orchestrate such an outcome (despite all the facts as pointed out on this website and elsewhere saying it's really easy and legal to do). No, there's no reason for "reputable" sports outlets like ESPN, FOX, or CBS to actually question what occurred on the field because only "loons" think there might have been an ulterior motive behind all of this.
I mean, was anyone up in arms over Carolina beating the Cardinals? Or the Colts advancing to play the Broncos (so we can hear about how Peyton Manning once led the Colts to a Super Bowl victory and now Andrew Luck is breaking all his records in Indy)? Or that despite giving up 6 TDs to Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers just a few weeks back, the mighty Ravens D held them to a mere 17 points so they can put that "hard-hitting" crew up against Tom Brady?
Can't we all just enjoy the Presentations of the National Football League as brought to us by monopolistic broadcast entities without all this negativity?
yep and if golf can be fixed it should be obvious that the NFL is too......
I'm left wondering is there any legitimate competitive athletics???? Maybe curling?? I wonder if chess is fixed?
sc-
trying to mock with golf really doesn't counter or defend anything. But All sports can be tampered with and have been.
you cant fake a hole in one but you can purposely miss a couple shots so the other guy catches up.
you cant tell me they didn't give Tiger an advantage here and there to promote the first major black golfer and help the sport gain popularity and a less racist edge.
(of course Tiger and Obama are only half black so the White crowd in middle America Is more accepting of the occurrence )
I suppose you guys still think your votes actually count too?
cant trust those Russians LOL ( that was a joke people)
theres a thread somewhere here of attractive female Curlers....are they called Curlers ?

Well Cycling is fixed/tainted that we all can agree on lol
And apparently World Cup bids
and if 2 world wide known sports can do it. Why wouldn't a local sport do it ?
this thread is fixed.
#trustthescript
did you enjoy Duke taking a dive against Johnny Football in the second half of that Bowl game ?
But what makes you sound like a moron is the fact that you state before the game all the reasons that Dallas will lose and yet when they don't you pull all of these theories as to why they did. If you would stick to a story you would be more believable.
The fact is that anyone can "prove" and come up with stories after the fact as to why something happened. Many people in this thread have stated that yet you continue to change your stories and dig yourself deeper.
Ron Rivera's house caught on fire Monday morning. That means Carolina is beating Seattle this weekend. Book it!
My god, the NFL will do ANYTHING to create storylines for their scripts. Even going so far as to set houses on fire. Talk about dedicated! And a bit psychotic.

You almost led me to believe Ram hacked your TGT account. Almost.
The dude abides.
Just saying what he's likely thinking. Lord knows that would be his reasoning for claiming Carolina will win.

That's what he's thinking until Seattle wins. Then he will say the fire was a distraction to the Panthers and the drooling masses bought it.

But Seattle can't win. They're supposed to be fading into obscurity for the next 30 years.
