I used to bet with a bookie, and you are right, the NFL is rigged.

The line was Minnesota -5.5.  The pat would have been worth millions

I've kept up with jacksonville all season.  Former COWBOYS safety, Barry Church, signed with them in the off season.  He was my favorite COWBOY on the team so I followed him during the summer.  He started talking about how athletic and talented their defense would be.  He was right.  The jaguars are a very athletic defensive team.  I don't know if they can beat the patriots but they have as good of a chance as anyone.

I have a hard time believing that athletes fix the games. If it is fixed it would come from the official, or coaches, or something like that. If it were fixed by players, they would write books or leak info for money. Players don't fix the games.

Also, why in the world would the league want to fix a game for Case Keenum to beat Drew Brees out? The Super Bowl would generate more money for a Brady vs Brees Super Bowl. Not Bortles and Keenum.

If the league was fixed, why would the team that has the biggest following in America, never make it past the 1st round. Don't you think the league would "fix" the games so the most popular team would be playing longer, driving up the revenue? Please, the dude whiffed on a tackle. He didn't say "Oh hell were suppose to lose, I am going to miss this tackle and make myself the ass of all jokes for the rest of my life so 1 game can be fixed". Get out of here with that.

You made very valid points and are probably right.  I just can't see how anyone makes that bad of a play.  He not only ducked his head but brought his arms in, towards his body.  Not only did he not wrap up, but he didn't even try to trip the guy.  If he just runs into the WR, the guy falls in bounds and the game is over.  Might be the worst play/non-play I've ever seen!!!

HAHA I know I am with you. There are a handful of plays over time that leaves you scratching your head. All he had to do was just bring him down in bounds and it would have been over. But..... he's a rookie. 

Here is what I think happened after hearing his explanation. He said he didn't come up in time and make a play on the ball and that next time he would attack it and "go make a play".

I think he got caught in the middle of trying to attack the ball and knock it down and just making a tackle. I think he came into thinking he was going to go high for the ball or the hands and as he closed he realized he would be to late and panicked, rushed it, and made an awkward attempt at a tackle. It was horrible and he will never live it down, but I will never believe that he made himself "that guy" forever all over one game.

I have a feeling the NBC brass are popping antacids right now and praying the Pats pull this out in the second half...

How many flags were thrown against the Pats? Answer......ONE. Jacksonville was the 2nd best team at getting to the QB and Brady had all day to throw most of the game. How do we not get holding calls against the Pats? Simply amazing.Brady's last two drives were done by the flag.

You are right. The brass wants the Pats to win and they get all the help in the world. 

I don't care if people call me a crybaby or not. They know what I say is true and laugh it off as just being football.

Millions and millions of dollars were at stake.  If someone does’t think a Jags vs Vikings or Eagles Super Bowl would severely effect the bottom line, he or she is the naíve one...

True, I don't' disagree at all with the money, except that the Pats have had their run-ins with Goodell. I am looking at it from a bookie angle. The Minnesota game was -5 1/2. Had they kicked and made the last extra point, anyone betting Minnesota would have won. Instead they took a knee and those who bet the underdog Saints won. I don't know the line for the Pats game but I would bet that it was 3 1/3. Yeah, I know. Loser's mentality. But when I bet with the bookies, I didn't have big money to bet on just a single game. I had to try and hit 3 and 4 teamers, with the occasional 5 teamer. This is when you can see the rigging. All it takes is one game to kill your ticket, and that 1/2 point is murder.

Side note: Bet a college game and I was getting 49 points. I said I would take 49 points and anybody. You guessed it, they lost by 50. Too coincidental to be coincidence.

I know what you are saying about better matchups meaning more revenue. I'm just saying it goes way deeper than that sometimes.

Hey, I would have won.

I have lots of bookie stories to tell but no one would believe me.

I don't doubt there are some bad beats. No question. One guy on here last week was saying the Saints player missed the tackle at the end on purpose for the same reasons your describing. Moral of the story, don't bet with a bookie haha

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
