      It was on a TV show.

      It must be true.

        I think it is buyer beware.

          Toy Story proved that toys become alive when you leave the room. In fact they're so damn clever they even know when I leave my hidden camera on and pretend to have no ability to create hijinks and make jokes at one another's expense.

              Yeah, because Toy Story is based on the lives of historical people and events, right?

                      OK so now we went from Toy Story to Rudy lol.

                      So you think a group of gangsters sat around and did nothing instead of trying to fix games, import liquor during prohibition, and all kinds of other nasty shit, right?

                          Have not heard anything new but I don't really follow them much to begin with. If I hear anything new I'll let the forum know for sure.

                          I did, however, hear something pretty fukkin amazing recently though.

                          I heard that the greatest archaeological discovery of all-time was made and has been covered-up since 2003.

                          Information just coming out about it now.

                          From what I've read and understand, the info. is truly fukkin mind-blowing and one of the reasons it's being covered-up is because it goes totally against what we have been led to believe regarding humanity's past.

                          I'm reluctant to post it though.

                            OK why don't you try to actually fukkin learn something you fukkin idiots?

                            From Wiki:

                            "In 1919, Rothstein's agents allegedly paid members of the Chicago White Sox to "throw," or deliberately lose, the World Series. He had bet against them and made a significant sum in what was called the "Black Sox Scandal."[6]

                            Who's retarded now asshole?

                                You're so retarded, you don't understand why you're retarded. Of course the black sox scandal was real. Players were banned and there was a trial. You taking a tv show as historical fact without any other sources makes you retarded.

                                  I still say it's the guy who tried to prove something happened based on what this guy did in a television show:



                                  Good thing you're not a science teacher. You'd probably use Jurassic Park to teach kids about dinosaurs.

                                    8 men out was a great movie! And proved definatively exactly what eagles is saying.


                                    Serious question though. A big reason the whit sox threw that series was because they were WAY under paid. Y commisky and ball players didn't make much. But how much cash would you need to put before professional athletes today that have the earnings potential sometimes of close to a billion dollars through contracts and endorsememenrs.... How much to risk even a 3-5 year career of earning a few million?
                                    I think pro sports can only be manipulated by the refs for the most part

                                      This is funny coming from a clown like you. Go back and check the history of the threads started by you. You don't even average 50 views per thread lol. One thread has 9 views.

                                        This is what you said:


                                        "Toy Story proved that toys become alive when you leave the room."

                                        THAT is a truly retarded statement.

                                        Also, I never stated that EVERYTHING in the show was true. Your so stupid you can't distinguish what was actually written from the idiot assumptions and conclusions drawn from you're retarded mind.

                                        It is historical fact Rothstein was involved with fixing the World Series, hence, proving sports were fixed from the beginning, nitwit.

                                          Way to deflect from the real issue. A completely useless and meaningless post.

                                            At least your retardedness is entertaining. I never made that statement, check back.

                                            The title of your thread is "boardwalk empire exposes the fact that sports have been fixed from the beginning". That makes you retarded. The show didn't expose anything, it used pieces of historical facts to make a tv show.

                                              Titanic exposed the fact that there was a priceless diamond on the bottom of the ocean. And that a big boat hit an iceberg. Thanks god for hollywood or we'd never know anything that happened and didn't happen.

                                                  The title of your thread is "boardwalk empire exposes the fact that sports have been fixed from the beginning". That makes you retarded. The show didn't expose anything, it used pieces of historical facts to make a tv show.
                                                  Yes it did.

                                                  It showed the inner workings of how fixes get done.

                                                  It showed the the extent and real influence of gangsters like Rothstein truly had.

                                                  It also showed that for every fix we find out about, there are many more we never do.

                                                      Ok so I was one of the guys that chimed in.

                                                      But listen, it was all about the title of the thread .

                                                      Yes, the series was fixed, and I am sure, seriously, that a chariot race was fixed somewhere along the line as well.

                                                      No doubt about it.

                                                      Everyone here knows that, including you, it was just the title of the thread that created the pile on.

                                                      It was a belt high fastball that was not that fast.

                                                      Nobody could resist.
