Well, rigged connotates a sort of cynicism.  It's more like manipulated.  And as long as there are no bribes then it's all legal.  Does the NFL sit around at the beginning of the year predetermine who's going to win what?  No.  But as the season progresses, they'll see where the interest lies.  And it always evolves around the QB.  Last years interest was Tom Brady moving to TB.  Plus the fact that the SB was going to be played in TB was ripe with interest.  Guess who won the SB?!  This year, we had a similar story evolving with the LA Rams and Matt Stafford.  Guess who is in the SB at their own stadium?!  What that said, I figure the Rams will win.  But, you also have an interesting story with a good young QB on the Bengal's side.  Think back, you think it was a coincidence that Mahommes had a second half melt down in the AFC Championship game?  Maybe.  But he was a world beater the first half and junior high QB the second!  I first noticed something wasn't quite right back in 2006 when NE played the Colts for the AFC championship.  Brady had a similar melt down in the second half.  Another thing, if I remember right, all the second half penaltys went against NE.  I remember one announcer saying he's never seen before one team not getting any penaltys.  I figured the NFL needed P. Manning to win a SB.
It starts with the refs.  They can either call a crucial penalty or not call one at all.  How many times do you think holding on the line of scrimmage can be called?  How about on a winning drive that the league wants to win that NO holding calls are made.  Or any other penalty as a matter of fact.  Second is the coaches and players.  The league will tell the coach this or that needs to be done because it's "good" for the league.  Remember, sports is about entertainment.  And when the 3 networks got involved, well, you know they are in the "entertainment" business.  Unless Tom Brady goes to Cleveland, we'll not see a Detroit vs Cleveland SB.  Why?  Because no one would watch!  Thoughts?!

911 Pats win.  Katrina, Saints almost win.  Harvey,  Astros win.  Jordans Dad, Jordan Wins, on Fathers day no less, Boston Marathon, Red Sox Win the series.  Payton Manning changes teams, SB.  Farve changes teams, almost SB.......

Curious:  How many people do you think at one time thought professional wrestling was for real and wasn't rigged?  Just saying.  The total melt down of the KC Chiefs in the second half of the AFC Championship game ought to give people the thought that something wasn't right.  I've seen and heard this phrase a few times concerning this:  "It's what's good for the league."  And again, it's all about entertainment.  Just like professional wrestling!

I think Vegas has a hand at certain times in the way games are officiated

More examples of why I call them DEMONcrats!!!

My daughter plays for Trinity University Tigers, tonight in the NCAA Div 3 Sweet 16, we took out the #1 ranked team 76-71 to move on to the Elite 8!!! We took out #25 Hardin Simmons and #4 Whitworth last weekend!!!

Also depends on whether or not the UIL adds 7A during that time period.

No, but should have...

They dont make em like they used to. Where have all the real men gone ? 😂

Mine sat in his car, engine running with A/C on, chain smoking and drinking beer. Would occasionally get out and yell something. His empties literally filled up the entire back seat area of his car, so much so that they would spill over into the front seat area sometimes, until he occasionally dumped them. I don't know how he lived as long as he did. 
(Disclaimer, this was NOT at BH). 
 

BH was 3A in the 1990's. And Pennee Hall was as good of a coach as you will find.

I don't think Brownsboro is being given enough credit here. They had a great plan, played tenacious D, and was deadly accurate most of the game. Part of H-J's struggles were a result from Brownsboro efforts. Not all but enough to make the difference. This was not a fluke, Brownsboro worked, executed, and earned the win.  

I agree, I think the Argyle game took a lot out of them. I told Ms. Scientist this very thing, that I was afraid of an HJ hangover from the semis. 
 
 

BH had multiple D1 players in the 1990's and won 1 state championship. Its hard to win state. BH had kendal shaw (Vanderbilt) and lost in 4a semi finals. BH lost in Semis with collier to Canyon. Dont know how many WNBA players Canyon had that year. My point is winning state aint easy. Look at all the free throws Brownsboro missed down the stretch to make it interesting. HJ was sloppy with the BB and it cost them. Stop blaming the coach. You'd be praising him if they made 2 more points.

Congrats to HJ on a heck of a run the last 4 years.  The team has a lot of talented girls back.  They will be back in San Antonio soon.   
Brownsboro played a heck of a game Saturday night.  The twin girls for Brownsboro are sophomores.  

Who cares?  The whole UIL is a fraud.

Barbers hill had the 1st pick in WNBA draft and didn’t win state.

I actually voted for Cruz in the primaries. Of course when Trump became the Republican candidate it was a no brainer to vote for him over Hillary. I never took Trump serious until he got into office an started putting America First in his decision’s. After the first year I started thinking he could end up being the Best President ever in my lifetime. An in my opinion I believe he is the best president we had in the last 50 years. Just a Reminder…..Trump Won his Re-election. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

Trump had our nation and our economy prosperous and secure just 1.5 years ago. I say this even though Trump was no where near my first choice as a candidate. Now, since Big Tech and the hard left media manipulated the election to place Biden in as president, the nation and the now the whole world has gone to HELL. Thanks Dims.  

So when is getting a better job with better pay considered a bad thing?? Isn't that what anyone wants to do?? Would you want your boss letting you go simply because you applied for another job that was a step up? I sure wouldn't!
 
Most districts I work with have zero issues with head coaches applying for other jobs thats the cost of doing business in a competitve market like TXHSFB Head Coaches...where the issues with most AD's and admin comes is when you get an interview and you dont communicate that up the chain...but simply applying is a non-issue...
 
I guarantee you those admins who are pissed about Graham applying out are probably putting in apps to better paying jobs as well...their names just dont end up in the media
 
Regardless of personal feelings LaPorte (and Jasper) are better jobs than Beaumont United, better pay, better facilities and a better setup in regards to vertical alignment.

I know one thing, Occupy Democrats is a special kind of stupid.  This Administration, and liberals in general, live in a fantasy world where fervently believing something to be true will make it so.  Well folks, it just ain’t so.
