its already a fact that games are staged whether you know it or believe it.
The only thing in question after that is how they decide to move the shells.
If the Saints didnt make the playoffs,games are still staged.
I've already put up. Its all over this forum. You are 2 years behind.

terrible? you just saw the defense hold the Giants to 16 points. they scored over 30 in the previous game and lost by one. You dont even know how to analyze the sport you supposedly like.

the sad, pathetic hilarity in the whole thing is that if I won, I wouldnt make you stop posting for 6 months. Theres no need for that. I dont hate you.
Its just trivial sports talk.
But for you, theres some kind of animosity like you are being attacked. You are taking something personal that is external and has nothing to do with you.
and attacking and making fun of someone simply for having a view you dont like. who's the rational adult here?
youve been taught to call people crazy just because they dont have the same view as others/you. But you are supposed to be a free thinking,educated,rational adult,right?

its just sports talk and you are acting like its the most important sacred thing on earth and must be defended? wheres that paycheck for watching pro sports on tv, for you?
derp I dont get what he's saying so I'm going to blurt out the word conspiracy and laugh at him because thats what i've been taught to do derp

fine, I'll take the so called bet. I dont really need to because when the Saints win ,youll still make excuses and call it luck or just your stupid "football stuff happened" crap reasons.
but what ever.
I take it personal for 2 reasons:

1) your theory is an insult to my professional career. You claim injuries are fake out side of an occasional, "Whoops, this wasn't in the script but we did it too hard and someone accidentally got hurt." That somehow, every athletic trainer is some actor in this grand scheme to fool people for entertainment yet you have NO CLUE how many hours we have to put into this job. How many late nights followed by early mornings we have to put in to get people to play. You don't know what it's like to work for a coach who's delusional and thinks that a player can play with damn near any injury "if their tough enough" or "want it bad enough" when a player can move their leg or shoulder. You don't know how many family events we miss out on because it's scheduled on a game day or you can't leave practice because there's just too much to do. You don't know what it's like to be in a room when a doctor tells a senior that 2 games into the season, his season is over because he has a grade 2 MCL sprain that'll probably require surgery. You don't know about any of that shit so yeah, I take it personal when you imply that injuries are fake and a part of grand illusion .

2) I also take it personal because you outright called me a liar or too dumb to be in the know when I talked about working in the training room at a D-1, FBS-level university. We NEVER got anything remotely resembling a script. No injuries were faked for the sake of drama. No games were staged for the sake of drama. None of this bullshit happened so to insinuate that I'm either lying to protect the integrity of the illusion or I'm just too dumb to recognize the scheme when I was doing injury evaluations and coordinating rehabs is an outright insult to me.

If you told this bullshit theory to my wife, she'd slap you in the face because she knows how much shit I have to do at work and to say it's just a trick for entertainment is a complete falsehood.

So yeah, it's personal.
