MarkAF43 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 how obvious was it that the refs and vegas were involved in this game? Yea cause everyone knew that play was going to happen and they could screw everyone that way. This is such a stupid topic, there is no way the fix was in, you couldnt predict that play no matter what. It was a bad call, they screwed up and thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKOOBY Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 2 balls passed behind the players / multiple yards and they called a forward pass?? That's a joke and really shows me that something is wrong with the whole picture, fix is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bad call, they screwed up and thats it what about the "holding" call that wiped out a pitt td and forced them to kick a field goal on their final possesion?

Do you mean the one where the guy was blatantly holding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 When a QB overthrows a wide open receiver, or when a running back inexplicably fumbles a ball, nobody accuses them of gambling on the game. But when a ref blows a call, the fix is in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when a ref blows a call, the fix is in? Would the review show a forward pass ?? Enough to change the play called on the field? Music city miracle was another joke.

Actually I gamble quite a bit on sports. I win $1400 if I win my fantasy football league. I just posted that to see if somebody would call me on it haha.

stuckincincy Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I feel sorry for all the gamblers who got Hoculied on this game. I don't think he's coming back next season. I watched him in action in a b'gal's game. Very odd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music city miracle was another joke. I believe the reason they didn't change the call was because it didn't affect the outcome of the game, as it was the last play of the game. In fact, Polamalu was dumb for returning the ball and potentially risking a fumble. He should have just fallen to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ok - you got me. Well I wasn't really trying to "get" anybody. I just like saying douchebaggy things and seeing how long it takes for someone to make me own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Do you mean the one where the guy was blatantly holding? And blatantly holding the guy who had containment on the end that Parker scored around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when a ref blows a call, the fix is in? I have. And it has happened in pro sports. Football isn't neccessarily immune. Where do people get the idea that it is impossible for it to happen? There is no such thing as it being impossible. Not with the kind of money involved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't implying that athletes don't gamble. In fact, I'm sure that some of them do. My point was that everybody is just so much quicker to jump on the referees. When they make an honest mistake (because they are human) everybody is out for their blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
