I never wanna hear that this shit isnt fixed ever again !!!!

[ThatKirkBoy]

I was shocked at how much attention Bob Costas gave it on the post game last night.....there really may be something to this.

If you honestly dont think there is more than what we saw yesterday than good for you.......fuck even OJ got off on murder so I guess some people really can believe anything they want.

PEACE

Oh yeah and on CNN they just said they found the WMDs too.

You say flawed. I say it's preposterous.

Let's agree to disagree. The conspiracy theorists always scream FIX anytime something out of the norm occurs when it affects the spread. Others, like me, just accept it as part of the game. A game played, coached and refereed by humans. Humans by nature make mistakes. The sport would be awfully boring if it was played, coached and refereed to perfection in every game. Imagine how nice that would be. The better team would win each and every game.

You say they waited until the last play of the game to fix it.....I agree why wait until the very last play. As far as they were concerned the game was over 11-10 and it was ho hum until that wacky play happend.

The ref didnt even know why he was reversing the call....he had no idea what he was calling as if someone just told him to just wave it off at all costs. Who buzzed him from upstairs? The replay booth? And what exactly was he looking for when he went under the hood? Im not sure if you saw it live Frank but that ref looked like a deer in headlights as if he was being coached into saying something that he had idea about.

Its just one of those things that cant really be explained I guess.

Between this one and that Rockets/Blazers game we watched last year Ronnie I dont know which was more shadier...but dont worry nothing would ever be fixed thats just wrong and I refuse to ever believe it would be..

People were actually trying to justify that foul......I remember it clear as day. Total landed right over the closing number and under the opener. It looked similar because the Portland player who fouled in that game looked as if he was told to do it by someone also.

why do you have to kick a PAT with a win SU with no time left? the game was over. why review the play that is my whole arguement. you ppl are making up weak ass excuses

Here is the rule...

In the NFL, the attempt for extra point(s) is required after a touchdown scored during the regulation (i.e., not overtime), because points are used for some tiebreakers in the standings. Rarely, this can result in such an attempt having to be made at the end of the game when it cannot change the outcome of the game.

I honestly don't! You honestly do! Both are opinions. Until you or anyone can provide facts that the game was fixed then your opinion is just that. AN OPINION!

I guess you believe Redskins Wins and Losses Predict the Outcomes of Presidential Elections.

I guess you believe if you forward an email to 27 people you'll get a free laptop.

I guess you believe Elvis is alive. You believe in the Bermuda Triangle and that Bigfoot exists.

BTW I do think OJ was guilty. But I don't understand the analogy between OJ's and a fixed NFL football game.

For what its worth, as a person who in the past in this forum has raised suspicions about the integrity of the NBA and still do re: pointspreads and totals (way before Donaghy) and especially with Lakers games, I for one don't think there was an attempt to influence the ats outcome in the football game yesterday.
To me it was just a bizarre finish leaving officials confused and perplexed considering the circumstances and how fast they occurred and since it was the last play of the game.
I can't prove it, but I think in this instance it was merely coincidental that the ATS outcome was affected by the ultimate decision.
JMHO

pitt call was legit

if you put in slo-mo and watch L.T. let go of ball he's on 25.5 yard line and other guy catches it just beyond about 26 or 26.5

Well said, Frank..you, I and others would like to believe that the game is 99% clean and having humans making judgement calls can lead to misinterpretations and incorrect decisions, as bad as they may be at times.

Others will always think that there is a 'bigger picture' and reasons behind terrible calls and miscalls...and that is fine, it is their opinion and everyone is entitled to it.

[Winton]

They call a holding to nullify a touchdown then go over there on the sideline for 10 minutes the coach for san diego acts like his jobs on the line and they have already lost the game! Why would people act the way these people acted if there wasn't something up?

No need to be opening any new threads regarding this subject ...
