Isnt fixing games a Federal crime?

**bigboydan** · 01-18-06, 06:10 PM

yes it is a federal crime.

The federal government should investigate the NFL and Paul Taglibue and his gang of incompetent bastards for fixing games.

When was the last time this incompetent refree in charge of officiating a big game? A playoff game?

Mr Morelli is a high school principal and a criminal!!!!

there were and are a few high school teachers and pricipals that are refs in the NFL. Dick Hantak comes to mind

what about when Duke keeps the press on when I have N.C. St. +12...I think that's a federal crime as well...

That Ref Bet at least 20-30k on the game!!

It may be a crime ,but the reality is it's just part of the game.
I'm not trying to justify it though.

This is a sincere question. Not just busting your balls, but what side did he bet on?

If he bet on the Steelers, why would he overturn it?

If he bet on the Colts, there really wasn't anything he could do at that point that would cause the Colts to cover.

That call had no bearing on the outcome of the spread, whatsoever.

And don't even say Colts moneyline. If he could determine the winner to fit his will, why the hell wouldn't he play the ML at +400 or whatever it was? In which case the interception would have stood.

The situation just doesn't fit your theory as far as I can tell.

**imgv94** · 01-19-06, 04:44 PM

He bet a teaser or something. He might of bet the money line? Hey I had
the colts but I will admit there was no evidence whatsoever that troy P didnt
Intercepted that ball. The fact of him betting the game has been
mentioned by numerous radio station outlets. Your just trying to argue
and its fine. He probably needed to end his teaser.

I'm not just trying to argue. I just think that in order to make that sort of assertion you would need to illustrate that the situation even slightly lent itself to making it plausible. It doesn't in this case.

Wow. An ill-conceived conspiracy thoery that falls apart under minimum analysis. I don't believe it.

You'll be telling me next that there's no such thing as Santa Claus.

Hey I think we are still on topic. I think that ref attempted to
fix that game. I wonder if somehow there was proof what punishment
would he get? Anyone know?
