Seriously, I don't want a rematch with KC in the Super Bowl, NFL will just fix that s**t for Mahomes to win like they did last time. No way KC loses back to back Super Bowls. Only reason they didn't fix it last year for Mahomes is because Brady is the bigger darling of the NFL.
I think this does occur to some extent or another. Not to the extent the people out there who try to say the final score was predetermined. But at the same time Mahomes having scrubs on the o-line didn't help matters either and they probably didn't need much "fixing" for the Chiefs to lose that one.
The NFL is definitely not fixed. The only thing that holds some truth is the "star" treatment at times, which is pretty much in every sport though. But no, if the NFL had it's way Pat would've won the SB last year. Not sure if Kolohe forgot, but Goodell doesn't like Brady lol. Plus, passing the torch to the next young super star is much profitable for the NFL.
There was a poster here who literally believed that every game was scripted, and the players and coaches were in on it as well.
Anybody remember who im talking about?
I'm a Christian who actually believes some of the conspiracies in this world. But some people do get carried away. A friend on Facebook sent me something one time about how completely it was fixed and I basically looked at it and said nothing. The only thing that would even make me entertain such a thing was someone claimed that the Rams-Patriots Super Bowl score
had to be 13-3 because Illuminati and occult numbers and symbolism. And Zuerlein sure hooked that field goal at the end ridiculously bad. I mean it wasn't even close and was kind of a chip shot.
But that said, everything would have to be coordinated to a "t". Goff threw an interception in the end zone or something like that. The players are still human. What if Gilmore drops it? Does Goff have to keep throwing up picks until one is actually successfully caught?
Pro wrestling is of course scripted and that's basically two guys (sometimes more) working out a script together. And they still mess things up. They get to the final result but they mess things up. Believing that 11 guys on both sides of the ball for a 60 minute game are going to be in perfect sync, or almost perfect sync, that's some pretty strong "faith". And they're playing the same game they've been playing since high school, if not before. High school wrestling, no one is DDT'ing, piledriving, or power bombing their opponent. So it's pretty drastically different and it
is theatrical. Right down to wrestlers playing characters for entertainment aspect.
I mean I can see games being fixed. Maybe not every time but obviously there's money in it if you can do it. Point shaving scandals, the Black Sox in baseball, etc. But yeah.
