you started it pal....there aint no nudge, its refs and qbs like big sister lawrence in Jacksonville, they make enough money to toss in a "nudge" or throw one awry as told.

Everyone online thinks the league is fixed in favor of the Bills... Only problem is they were saying the same stuff last year after Damar, and yet somehow the Bills lost in the divisional round?

 

Hopefully this year they're right! If the Bills & Allen are league favorites, that script better see the Bills get a damn Super Bowl victory this season! 😁

Never said either was cool.  Just saying it's far, far easier to fix/nudge a game then it is to script it.

It's funny. People talk about this as though major sports leagues around the world, in major countries, have not had legitimate fixing schemes. Hell, right here in the good old USA, in 1919, 8 out of the 9 White Sox starters threw the World Series for cash.

 

This isn't some sort of conspiracy theory.  Just a few years ago Serie A in Italy was shaken to its core with MAJOR gambling fixing of games, involving the referees.  

 

It's happened a bunch of times in soccer around the world.

 

As gambling becomes a bigger and bigger part of pro sports (now it will get to the point where it's ALL about gambling), you can count on some type of fixing scheme coming our way.  

 

Imagine being the referee in an NFL playoff game.  Think how much incredible power you have to sway a close game simply calling, or not calling, offensive holding penalties at the right time.

 

You can totally modify the outcome of the game.  Ditto for defensive pass interference.

 

You don't need 85 people to be on board with the scheme; you need 1 or 2, if they are the right people.

I feel like it's something g that everyone in their heads can wonder about, BUT be the person who says it out loud and you'll be labeled negatively. I'm not on board with a full fox idea, but I also think that there can be bias or sway on a personal level be it refs or whoever. Even then I feel like

it would be hard to pull off.
