(should the colts be investigated)

[BGboothA]

Well that was entertaining to read, of course now I have a headache trying to read all those damn caps!

[yisman]

THE COLTS WERE UP BY 6 POINTS MANNING WASNT BEING TOUCHED THEY COULD HAVE COVERED EASILY AND BONE HEAD JIM CALDWELL PULLS HIS STARTERS THIS GAME HAS ALL WRITINGS OF A FIXED GAME AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

ACTUALLY, THEY WERE UP 5 AND COULD'VE LOST THE GAME

[yisman]

if the nfl knew the colts were f-cking around with the sread [sic] why have this game on national t.v. So everybody can see how corrupt the nfl is

It wasn't on national TV. National TV games are shown to the entire country. This game was only shown to about a third of the country. Most of the country got Denver at Philadelphia.

[Lost Angel]

what happened yesterday diminishes the integrity of the wild card race and should be abhorred by fans who want honest competition.
I agree with you about hoping the Jets knock Indy out of the playoffs.

Diminishes more than just this IMO. Now if ever anyone approaches eclipsing the Colts win streak we have to hear:

"Of course the Colts basically surrendered to end their streak....pretty much forfeited, In-Game."

It'd be interesting to hear ARCHIE Manning's thoughts on this decision, I have the impression that he holds in high esteem the "history" of the game...and the NFL.

And he's from an era when even the thought of such a thing would have been "criminal".

[yisman]

I think I love BEANTOWNJIM. You are cracking me up.

He's the lunatic on street corners and in the subway yelling at the top of his lungs for you to accept Jesus before you go to hell.

Do you go there and laugh, too?

[yisman]

THE COLTS WERE UP BY 6 POINTS

IF THE NFL KNEW THE COLTS WERE F-CKING AROUND WITH THE SREAD WHY HAVE THIS GAME ON NATIONAL T.V. A FIX IS A FIX AND WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY ON NATIONAL T.V.

THEN WHY DID MANNING START THE 3 RD QUARTER AND LEAD HIS TEAM DOWNFIELD TO GIVE THEM A 6 POINT LEAD LATE IN THE 3RD QUARTER

YOU DONT RUIN A PERFECT SEASON WITH A 6 POINT LEAD IN THE 3RD QUARTER

CHICAGO IS A MAJOR CITY FOR GAMBLING WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MIKE DITKA PULLED VINCE MCMAHON YEARS AGO WHEN THE BEARS WERE GOING FOR THE PERFECT SEASON LIKE JIM CALDWELL DID YESTERDAY.THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A RIOT IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO AND DITKA WOULD HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE LEAGUE AND PROBABLY FIRED. NOBODY DOES WHAT JIM CALDWELL DID YESTERDAY NOBODY THIS WAS VERY SUSPICIOUS BOYS. JUST REVERSE THE ROLES PRETEND THE JETS WERE UNDEFEATED AND MIKE RYAN DECIDED TO PULL HIS STARTERS I DONT THINK HE WOULD HAVE MADE IT OFF THE FIELD ALIVE.LARGE GAMBLING CITIES YOU DONT PULL THIS SHIT TO MANY PEOPLE ARE BETTING ON THERE HOME TEAMS

And he called Caldwell a Nigerian. This clown is challenging ZBOIZ for supremacy.

[slacker00]

THATS A GREAT POINT DUMMY NOBODY WANTS TO FACE PITTSBURGH WHEN THEY KNOW THEY CAN BEAT THE JETS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE STEELERS WHATEVER IT WAS IT IS FISHY IT SMELLS OF A FIX.

I HEARD THE PATRIOTS WANT TO LOSE NEXT WEEK ALSO SO THEY DONT HAVE TO GO TO SAN DIEGO IN THE 2ND ROUND THEY WOULD RATHER GOT TO INDIANAPOLIS FOR THE REVENGE GAME FOR 4TH AND 2

BOYS THE WHOLE LEAGUE IS SUSPICIOUS AFTER WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY CERTAIN TEAMS DONT WANT TO FACE OTHERS SO THEY LOSE ON PURPOSE.

If the Pats lose to avoid the Chargers in round 2, the Bengals can do the exact same thing Sunday night, achieving the same result.

HOW COME TEAMS NEVER PULLED THERE STARTERS IN THE OLD DAYS I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOOTBALL FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND I NEVER REMEMBER TEAMS IN THE 70'S PULLING THERE STARTERS IF YOU WERE HEALTHY YOU PLAYED.THIS IS A RECENT THING AND IT MAKES THE LEAGUE LOOK SUSPICIOUS WHEN IT HAPPENS

Pittsburgh Steelers 21 at Denver Broncos 17

Saturday, December 16, 1978

I had to look it up, but Bradshaw was pulled after the half along with other starters. It was a meaningless game at the end of the season with the Steelers facing the Broncos the next game in the playoffs.

[MJT1212]

Yes

[Rio DiNero]

I watched this whole game, and if Colts don't pull starters they cover easily. The Jets offense was awful till the 2nd string D came in. I don't think this was a good move by Caldwell, you could see the agony in the Colts starters faces as the 2nd unit was giving away the game, especially "The Sheriff." He never even took his helmet off, not even as he ran off the field. I hope this comes back to haunt Caldwell, and I would love to see Indy be ousted from the play-offs by the team they should of eliminated from the race. Watching the game yesterday, I think Indy at home beats the Jets 9 times out of 10, but you never know #1 pass D #1 rush O, they may have a chance. I say Caldwell ruins Indy's mojo with this stupid move. J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!

[sharpcat]

This is hilarious

I can understand for the guys who just started watching football 2 years ago, but for those who know about the sport this has been going on since the first superbowl!!!!!!

The NFL is about winning championships not some silly little stat that only ESPN, Bellicheck, and the '72 dolphins cared about!!!!!!!!

If you bet Indy when the line dropped from -7 to -3 with 70-80% action on indy, than you are a fool for walking into a sucker bet and more importantly a fool for betting on a team who clenched a top playoff berth would not pull its starters against a team with the playoffs on the line. DON'T BUY INTO ESPN HYPE, NOBODY GIVES A SHIT WHEN YOU GO UNDEFEATED AND LOSE THE SUPERBOWL (ask the patriots about that one)

[nosniboR11]

first off, it does not matter one bit if he has his caps lock on or OFF, JEEZ IDIOTS

second, the nfl is too busy right now trying to figure out a way to get a child sex predator into the usa to perform for us at the super bowl.

[drfunkmaster]

dude above the shift key on your keyboard is a key labeled "caps lock" just press it once, Not twice just once only and then type what you need to type.

[nosniboR11]

Hey dumbass anybody can type anyway they choose,

[ClydeFontaine]

I'm thinking Jim's parents should be investigated for the crime against humanity known as their son.

[Snowball]

Colts are dead now

[The General]

Jimmy is the funniest poster in history or at least since I started posting around him in 2002 at another site.

Classic here and 100's others on other forums. He should have a basket site for all of his classics.

(EDIT) Posters have been complaining about the caps lock for all these years and you may as well get over it because he ain't changing.

[Serbone]

BOYS I AM DEAD SERIOUS FOR A LEAGUE THAT WORRIES ABOUT ITS REPUTATION AND GAMBLING IN LAS VEGAS SHOULDNT THEY TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT JIM CALDWELL AND THE COLTS DID YESTERDAY.THEY ALLOWED THE JETS A CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS NOW WHEN WE ALL KNOW THEY DIDNT DESERVE THAT CHANCE THE COLTS HAD THIS GAME WON.
HOW DO WE KNOW JIM CALDWELL DIDNT BET MILLIONS ON THE JETS AND THROW THE GAME HE COULD HAVE HAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY BET IT FOR HIM UNDERCOVER.SOMETHING IS VERY FISHY HERE AND I NEVER TRUST NIGERIANS THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR A FEW EXTRA BUCKS.THIS GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFF THE BOARD IN VEGAS SOMEBODY MADE A PHONE CALL AT HALFTIME AND TOLD JIM CALDWELL WHAT THE F-CK ARE YOU DOING IF YOU WIN THIS GAME WE GET BURRIED SO HE PULLED HIS STARTERS WHAT A F-CKING JOKE.

PETE ROSE GETS BANNED FROM BASEBALL FOR GAMBLING JIM CALDWELL FIXES A GAME AND EVERYBODY TURNS THERE HEAD THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS FIX.

THE COLTS WERE UP BY 6 POINTS MANNING WASNT BEING TOUCHED THEY COULD HAVE COVERED EASILY AND BONE HEAD JIM CALDWELL PULLS HIS STARTERS THIS GAME HAS ALL WRITINGS OF A FIXED GAME AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

DID JIM CALDWELL BET MILLIONS ON THE JETS YESTERDAY AND PULL HIS STARTERS TO MAKE SURE HIS TICKET CASHED AND WHAT FRIENDS DID HE TELL ABOUT WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO SURELY SOMEBODY HAD INSIDE INFORMATION AND CASHED IN.
ARE THERE ANY HONEST NIGERIANS LEFT IN THIS WORLD MAYBE THATS WHY THEY ARE ALL IN JAIL THEY ARE THE MOST CORRUPT PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET

Everyone knew the Colts were coasting to the playoffs... might pull their starters, just get them some work, keep them in sync, timing, etc, then get them out. It was all over the media. If this was first playoff game, Jets @ Colts, line would be -12. Come to think of it, might be what Colts have in mind.... do not want to face Steelers or somebody like that later. Rather face Sanchez than Big Ben. People bitching about Colts are hilarious.

[1st and Ten]

your a whack job beaner

[sharpcat]

I love how players make a bad bet and lose go on tilt and start a rant about how the game was fixed

Sports betting forums are the only places I am seeing anybody upset about this, not shocking when you know that 85% of the money was on indy.......lol

The fun part is when you can see the fixes coming before placing a bet.

The even funnier part is that the game was not rigged vegas just manipulated the public into taking a bad bet duh

NFL FOOTBALL IS ALL FIXED I HAVE BEEN SEEING IT FOR YEARS.THEY CALL IT THE PREVENT DEFENSE I CALL IT FIXING GAMES

[tullamore]

Jimmy, Peyton decided to come out of the game, you think that coach has power over Peyton.

Peyton wanted to lose so there would be less pressure in the playoffs.

[DOMINATER]

i lost 300 thats all i care about.

This is typical of what the colts have done over the past 5 to 10 years Caldwell is from the Tony Dungy school of coaching and this is exactly what he would have done. In fact just a few years back he pulled all his starters after 1 series and cost the Browns (10-6) a playoff spot and allowed the Titans to get in. If you listen to sports radio you could have heard Bill Pollian the Colts GM state on several occassions that his philosphy is to 1st win there division ,2nd wrap up home field, and then ultimately win the Super Bowl. Resting players for what will amount to almost a month may come back to haunt them, but you cant deny the fact that the Colts are 1 of the top two teams of the decade along with the spygate team.This coming from a Browns fan how got screwed by the same deal I only wish the Browns will someday have the option the rest players

[Chi_archie]

nope I think the NFL said a few years ago, that if you earn the right to "tank" a game, than you EARNED that right.....

[BEANTOWNJIM]

NOMOCINO YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU THINK THE COLTS ARE A TEAM OF THE DECADE THEY HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF CHOKERS THIS DECADE

THE ATRIOTS WERE THE TEAM OF THE DECADE THE COLTS WERE ALWAYS KNOWN AS CHOKERS THEY WERE THE BUFFALO BILLS OF THIS DECADE

TEAM OF THE DECADE MY ARSE

[sharpcat]

Professional sports could not be rigged by convincing a team to go prevent D and give up a late touchdown......

how do you pay off an entire professional, league minimum $700,000, football team and expect to bet enough at any # of books to recoup the overhead of what it cost to pay the team off and still make a profit?

bad handicappers cry about games being fixed like bad poker players cry when they call a pre flop raise with 10-9 offsuit and lose.....

"Don't blame the game, Blame the player"

[slacker00]

sharpcat, who are you? 22 posts?

BEANTOWNJIM is a legend. He was making his bones way before Al Gore invented the internet.

[malay76]

yep the line dropped from 6 to 3 for a reason.

[kw071]

I understand his reasoning behind benching his starters... but if he is so worried about one of them getting injured, then why the hell didn't they sit in the 1st and 2nd quarter? He probably did have money on the jets... They made a statement before the game saying that manning would play as long as the game was competitive. 15-10 seems pretty competitive to me.

What a joke...

If your going to pull shit like this... then tell the truth before the game saying that he won't play. Don't tell the world that hes going to play as long as the game was competitive.
