is the NFL shady or legit ?

If NFL games are fixed, our team sucks at fixing games. You'd think we'd have a few more wins.

You guys just can't see the truth! Wake up sheeple, the truth is right in front of your eyes!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was some match fixing in the NFL. It's happened in the NBA and throughout the soccer world, why not NFL? Are they so morally superior to every other sport that they're above it? Doubtful.

That being said, I don't think the entire product is guided like this article implies. It seems to make the argument that SB champs are preordained before the season even starts, lol.

Schneed, the mob runs the NFL.

Woulda made a great Soprano episode. I could just see Tony acting all chummy with "da commishh" and then at the bing, getting the plot together to fix a game.

I hear Scully and Mulder are working the case. The truth is out there.

these rules make it convenient to bend games by officials

Now, here are some plays in a game that are non-reviewable:
•Penalties. Under no circumstance can a penalty call be reviewed.
•Forward progress. It's a judgement call on the field by the officials.
•A fumble after the whistle has blown. At that point, the play is considered dead and can't be reviewed.
•Any kick going above the uprights
•Inadvertent whistles
•Recovery of a fumble in the field of play

Actually I think the 2 fumble rules are wrong now. I am pretty sure both are reviewable. BUT, from a tinfoil perspective, having non-reviewable plays actually makes the game harder to fix. If you have non-reviewable plays you have to set more tracks in motion to affect the outcome of a game. Once plays are reviewable, you can fix it with the replay official, and steer games in your direction by gradual changes.
