When Kobe won that ring beating the Kings in the WCF I knew that game was rigged too. Didn't surprise me when I saw it was years later. Then that NFC championship Seahawks 49ers like 2011ish or something, forgot the year, that was 1000% rigged. Those are the 3 most rigged games I ever saw probably.

I don't believe in sports being fixed but there are very rare instances when it is. Fouls were called that weren't fouls in that game 7 and fouls weren't called that were fouls. Tim Donoguey was already convicted of it bro, he came out and blatantly said I was paid to fix that game and he went to prison.
I've watched that SF Seattle game again as well since then, it's the most rigged football game in NFL history. There are so many youtube videos about it that show exactly how it was rigged.
This KC Bengals came was incredibly incredibly fishy. So many phantom calls. How about on the very last play of the game? Clear as day holding on the KC o lineman, clear as a whistle bro, no call. That scantling stretching out for that yard, then bringing the ball back? that's not a first down. The holding call on Mike HIlton? The receiver wasn't touched. Jamar Chase getting held all game, never got a call.
The redue on the 3rd down? Lol. Come on.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
It's also funny because I remember when I was on this forum for that SF Seattle game and the ppl who picked seattle were thumping their chest thinking they made such a great play, read the line right, all this dumb bs, meanwhile they don't even know shit about football to tell that something extremely fishy was going on.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -

NBA refs fixing games is so prevalent it has become a form of art. The best refs can do it while most casual fans have no idea.
Most of the fans in arenas outside of select cities don't even know the rules, they just cheer when they see the ball go in the basket. I'm a Jordan truther and he absolutely had help from stern during his reign.
Donaghy was probably one of the worst refs in terms of subtlety, he got sloppy and greedy. Now he's the outlier and 'rogue' to Joe public. There are so many gray areas when it comes to NBA rules, a competent official can easily manipulate pace and play without sounding alarmsComment -
a lot of the rigging is to keep the game close. whatever league it is, if the game is on tv and getting out of hand, a lot of these refs try to even it up
then you get the refs thinking this is the dominating team, they should get the calls
then there's the it's on tv, keep it close/ken mauer approach
the joey crawford i'm in charge here, the game is going to go how i want it to go
the we aren't gonna call anything/lebron james last minute layup vs celtics
the let's blow the whistle against the bengals and keep calling fouls on the bengals/home team approach
all that said...replay has done away with a lot of this shot
refs and players are so overrated it's ridiculous. a lot of these guys are idiots, how many nobel peace prize winners are going to referee a football game. that said gene steratore is the best referee i have ever seen in any league. the index card guy. though it doesn't look like he did that seattle-san fran game all that well lolComment -
i'm all for replay. the more replay the better. make it fair. it's no good making fans upset thinking the game is rigged or wasn't called fairly.Comment -
some things never change
so betting both sides in sb?

Lets face it, many games are decided by judgment calls, but when determining whether there are untoward forces involved it's always prudent to follow the money. That's how the crooked elements are weeding. Generally they are greedy & eventually exposed by the bookmakers taking the crooked action. I think the bookmakers (both USA & offshore) police the overt schemes quite well.Comment -
KC had a shot. They kicked the winning FG as time expired. That's how you do it.Comment -
For someone who's on this forum as much as you I expected better. I literally can point to a different game every single Sunday of every weekend during the NFL season and point out 6-7 missed calls every game. EVERY GAME.
These refs can't see everything, they are old and the game moves fast as hell. They don't have the benefit of watching the game on slow mo and on rewind on their 70 inch TV at home.
I can't believe you don't realize this.Comment
