i only say this because in the past i have made comments about something being off.... and everyone said i was crazy..
I admit, there certainly are times it looks rigged.

Burrow gets thrown to the ground like a rag doll with no penalty, but if you so much as breath in Mahomes' direction flags come flying from all directions.

We all remember that Super Bowl a few years back where the underdog Seahawks were pushing the heavily favored Steelers all around the field until suddenly the refs decided Seattle committed a penalty on almost every critical play.

Refs in virtually every major sport favor the super stars. Just ask a LeBron or Jordan fan.

I've never approved of these leagues embracing sports betting. It never sat well with me. The proximity to betting was bound to lead to speculation of game fixing.

Well, now it's come home to roost. At least with the NBA it seems. Will this scandal spread into other sports? Time will tell.

Remember when the mob killed Michael Jordan’s dad because he didn’t shave points, it got uncovered and Jordan had to go play baseball for a few seasons as his “suspension”

Good times

The theory that Michael Jordan's father, James Jordan Sr., was murdered by the mob due to Michael's gambling debts is a persistent rumor, but it has been widely dismissed by law enforcement, NBA officials, and the evidence presented in court.

The mob theory gained traction due to Michael Jordan's well-documented history of significant gambling, which some speculated could have led to large, unpaid debts to organized crime figures.

However, no evidence linking the convicted murderers, Daniel Green and Larry Demery, to organized crime or gambling bookies was ever discovered. Both men were described as "drug-addled morons simply looking for someone to rob" (Sounds like some of my fellow posters :lol: )

While some find the official story suspicious due to certain odd details surrounding the case (like the three-week disappearance of the body or disputed evidence at the trial), the mob theory remains an unsubstantiated rumor.

Once-proud AFC North defense is down bad:

Total defense

Ravens: 28th
Steelers: 30th
Bengals: 32nd

The best defense in the division, Cleveland (3rd), ironically has the worst record.

The NBA isn't the only sport that's rigged at times. You can never not make me believe that. Soooo the mob just decided to rig the NBA and no other sport? Cmon. They have their hands in every sport and you can never not make me believe that.

VERY VERY suspicious NFL game's since 2021 or so. Just think about it and look back.
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.
