While there is a mountain of calls and things to make you wonder, I always come back to this thought.
No one in this world can keep a secret. Especially one that juicy. Now if you study the mortallity rate of refs, head coaches and players from Super bowl teams and there are strange mortality rates then there might be something to it.
Because after a ref fixes a game, you pretty much have to kill the guy at some point because he will talk to someone and it will get out.
That is one of the guarantee's of life, people cannot keep their mouths shut.
