Is the NFL Rigged?

In 2006 Rodger Goodell became the commissar of the NFL. Of course, after enduring almost 4 decades of sucking, the New Orleans Saints miraculously went all the way to the NFC Championship game. Of course, a year earlier hurricane Katrina just about destroyed New Orleans. What team would the Saints have faced in that Super Bowl? THE COLTS! The hometown boy (sort of) Peyton Manning! Clearly if he had had his way, it would have been Saints V Colts 4 years ago, but the Bears were just to good...coincidence?

2007-08. The infamous 18-1 New England Patriots. We ALL remember the bogus calls the Patriots were getting that year. I'm not saying the Pats weren't good, but remember that game vs the Ravens on MNF? Of course they get all the way to the Super Bowl with a perfect record, and of course lose.

2009. The 0-16 Lions. One year removed from the 'perfect season', the Lions go 0-16. Coincidence?

2009-2010. Once again, the Saints, after 4 decades of sucking are somehow a top team again, and who is the team they play? The Colts...again. If you remember the FIRST MNF game, when it was made clear for a pass to be a catch, a WR MUST go all the way to the ground with control, or else it was INT. Lance Moore clearly lost the ball, but yet, somehow, it was a 2 point conversion... coincidence? Its always a coincidence..

What will 2011 bring? a team that goes 0-0-16?..Its never out of reach with Mr.Goodell.

Part 1 not enough? Lets go further back. On 9/10/01 the New England Patriots were on the fast track to 5-11. 6 months later and they are in the Super Bowl. Ahh the PATRIOTS! What better team to represent our country at that time huh? And of course, on route to said Super Bowl NFL refs basically make up a rule that make Oakland Raiders cringe to this day. 7 years later, and it turns out they were cheating the entire time.

2002- John Gruden, the fiery coach is on a new team. He leads that team to the Super Bowl against....HIS OLD TEAM! What are the odds huh? Chucky gets the last laugh. Unfortunately his team never EVER returns.

2003- Spygate

2004- Spygate

2005-The Pittsburgh Steelers overcome all the odds, and beat the Colts in the 2nd round of the playoffs. You have to either be really naive, or a Colts fan to think the refs weren't trying to hand this game to Peyton Manning. Props to the Steelers.

There you have it. Obviously the Paul Tagliabue 2000's weren't as riddled with WWE type storylines as the Rodger Goodell era, but it had its fair share.

If the NFL was rigged why would spygate ever come out?

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
