LOL

Look at the brightside with the hip-drop tackle becoming a thing alot of final scores should cover the spread 😂

This past Super Bowl a guy placed a bet of 75k on the 49ers to win and his wife said they couldn’t afford to lose that money and asked him not to place the bet but he decided to anyway even after she told him that she would divorce him if they lost because she had told him that they couldn’t afford to place the bet! I felt so bad for him because he not only lost the money but his family and it was totally unnecessary to put that amount of money on a game anyway!! I found out about that story from someone who knew him and that he had a gambling addiction

@@lisadooley3872She was leaving regardless. Dude was beyond help placing a bet like that. It’s a terrible addiction to have.

This is why I don't bet or gamble.

@@teamsteed1 The only safe bet is the one you do not make.

Oh no, Scottster, gambling is a victimless vice. Didn't you know that? Just like prostitution. Those girls LIKE what they do. There's no victims here.

Aww, i love it, baby! I hope that eats you up every time you see it or hear about it. I hope you defend it with all your conviction. I can only imagine the pain you have been through.! It can't be changed now. it's now a legendary play in Boston Sports, the glory that came from it. Even Brady likes to rub it in nowadays, mostly to make your pain worse.

@@brentmichael4770 you will get yours one day.

@@brentmichael4770 I have to agree!! Poor Raiders fans, didnt mind when Ben Dreith gifted them a game against the Pats 4th down roughing the passer my arse!

@@brentmichael4770 I'm guessing you are a Patriot fan living close to or in Boston. Not sure if you realize this, but the Pat's are about to have their asses handed to them for the next 10 years. Starting with last year, so 9 more years to go. Karma is a be-atch.

@@TedTucholski but I already lived during a 20 year dynasty and the only one true dynasty ever. We have already experienced more in that time frame than any of you all could dream. The massive QB contracts they are paying out now has also made it impossible for another dynasty to emerge! Let's say we have suffered more then 1 year, we have been suffering since 2020. I hope your wrong about that 10 year slump too!

Was that the year the refs were on strike? That one was pretty well known.

I was hoping to see if anything came from his video.

This was the best you can come up with? Maybe do some more research other than a KZfaq video

That was 2012.

​@jdon2638 If you watch more of that same KZfaq video, it's about a game in 2023.

I’m a Lions fan and tbh after that, I hardly care if we even win a superbowl because it shows it’s rigged for certain things and games to be set up, if we didn’t lose against the cowboys we wouldn’t have played Rams and Stafford at Ford field.

Yea that was just straight up egregious.

The one that pisses me off the most is the Fail Mary easily, fucking stupid

As a Cowboys fan I definitely think the flag on that call was Wild.

That crew got demoted from officiating playoff games because of that.

I'm not very privy for gambling. What does this mean in layman's terms.

Refs aren’t employees so the nfl is not responsible for their action. “Sharps” are what they call the people who bet that have the highest win rate. So OP is saying the best bettors in the world only win 57% of the time.

Any sport franchise should never take money from gambling companies.

Hard agree.

Lol, no? The NFL was created with owners tied to gambling and other crimes. The leagues are all about narratives.

My comment got deleted. The league was founded by owners with ties to organized gambling. Lets see if they ban it again

How many people do you know that sports gamble only bet on football or one sport the money is made through addiction, not through financial gains after the one big game. They make it through the degenerates who cannot help themselves, but come back for more no matter what the play is or the sport

It seems like the more technology they put in the game the less they get the calls right and more confused the refs are...and i know these players are payed to blow plays you see it in every game plenty of times and their not even good at the act because they were never to be actor's

……. It’s been going on for a LONG time …………… SB 30 was the first time it stood out to me

I'm a fan and hope my team wins a SB, but I also know the NFL is all about storylines.

😂🤣🤑🤢🤮🥳

they should replace refs with Ai so these bias af calls don't keep happening

Ravens proposed a referee "sky judge" a couple years ago to address the problem, and very few owners voted yes

UFL will remain irrelevant no matter the rules.

The nfl can't rig games as easily if they use a sky judge.

There isn't officiating controversy if nobody cares about the result.

@@ToadHallPub I mean controversies caught by bad officiating.

Yeah, the only problem with what you said is please explain to me how these games are rigged who is in on it? Are they having a meeting with all of the referees and the players and the coaches and the owners? I mean, come on way too much has to happen for these games to be rigged. I think it’s hard just to rig one game. There’s a big difference between a game being rigged and a game that is Tried to be manipulated there simply way too many things that would have to happen for a game to be rigged and the biggest factor in any of these games are the players not the officials if I saw players dropping balls on purpose fumbling on purpose other things on purpose then I might I just might say to myself something is up, but why would these players do that? It would drastically affect their salaries because if they keep fumbling and dropping passes, they’re not gonna play anymore, it just doesn’t make sense

​@scottb.4472 it's not the players doing it, it is the refs doing the manipulating for the nfl high ups. They don't have to map out every second of every game for all 32 teams, they ONLY need to create a grey area where a few calls and a couple missed calls dictate the result. How many games are close going into the final 5 minutes. What they bank on people thinking tho is the opposite that it would be way to hard to rig "manipulate" a game and that you would have to have everyone involved in it.

Sports Entertainment, all the pro sports leagues operate under the same purview as pro wrestling

It is foolish to bet on a league that is conducting sports entertainment & partnered with the gambling industry. Unless it is a true sport, you cannot anticipate the way the league is scripting individual games. You can see evidence of this in the way NFL refereeing of individual games has trended down year by year since getting legalized gambling connections to boost profits.

not everyone is in. if a player is approched off field and offered x amount to step out of bounds....that is rigged

Its ridiculous to want to get the call right? If its not a catch, its not a catch, regardless of how it looks in real time to the fan. Settling for close enough is absolutely stupid. This is a professional sport.

@@paulkaehn6203 Nah sometimes they take it too far. "The ball shifted a tiny bit! Incomplete!" The only thing that makes it somewhat stomachable is that things are already made hard enough on defenses in the modern era, but even so it's sort of a two wrongs making a right type of deal.

If it’s a RB with the ball, the ground can’t cause a fumble. If it’s a receiver who’s had obvious control of the ball till they hit the ground, it’s a non catch. Same at the end zone. RB has the ball - crosses the line, immediate TD. WR catches the ball, then crosses the line, then hits the ground and ball pops out, NO TD. It’s nonsensical. They lost me years ago.

Which calls?

@@theKKfighters1 All the blatant holding the chiefs Oline did on Nick Bosa.

​@Austinawesome56 Chris Jones was held just as much, but Whiner fans won't talk about it.

Ravens was not called on multiple infractions! They took a Rashee Rice touchdown away on a sorry holding call, and the Ravens rb kicked Chris Jones in the end zone, which would have been a safety...

@@Austinawesome56 the niners scored a TD in the Super Bowl on a trick play with several o-line players downfield

You got the same gift with the call vs logan wilson and you know it

This is such an unhinged great idea. I love it.

I honestly think fans just like to whine more than ever 😂 the refs have done more for accountability & training, yet everyone complains about them more & more

This is a ridiculous statement. Referees work extremely hard to get to that point in their career, just like the players. There are years of training, hard work and dedication to be a professional referee. Some of them own their own businesses in addition to being a professional referee. Do they make mistakes or blow calls? Yes, they do. they are human. The speed at that level is unbelievably fast that it takes years to be able to work a game at that level. NBA Referees, it takes 20 years of hard work just to even get 1 playoff game. I really disagree with your statement. So if you don't like it, go be a referee yourself.

Also doesn’t matter how big the payday is it will normally go right back into more betting.

The same could be said of any alcohol company. People need personal responsibility instead of blaming corporations which will obviously try to make a profit.

@@Ericg0027 I agree. One of the reasons I haven't had a drink in seven years is because I took personal responsibility. Alcohol commercials don't design themselves to appeal to anyone under the age of 21. I say insidious because the NFL's audience is younger, wider and the transition between playing fantasy and online gambling is smoother because fantasy has given them a skill set to make bets.. Can anyone with a smart phone and a bank account sign up for these websites?

@@Ericg0027 Personal responsibility is making the choice to go to AA when your addiction is controlling your actions. Certain people are more inclined towards addictions than others, but that's not my point. The NFL getting into bed with online gambling companies are "grooming" young adults towards a path where a percentage of them will develop gambling addictions. I'd like the person I mentioned to avoid that fate. BTW, I just celebrated my 7th year of sobriety on May 3rd. I wanted to get my 7th year chip but so many of these meetings are by video conference now smf.

​@Ericg0027 how about we do blame the companies making profits off ruining peoples lives? the companies spending millions to campaign to our politicians that gambling is okay in any way 😂😂 it doesn't seem like you want them to be held accountable for their actions? 🤔

It was the St. Louis ram at that moment tho right?

@@Shoeking509 No it was the LA rams vs the Saints in the 2018 NFC championship game.

Bill Vinovich has screwed my team twice in the superbowl. SB54 & SB58. He did not officiate Super Bowl 55 coincidentally.

​@MrV41N It was common knowledge when everyone and their momma was reporting on this story. Try doing your own research it shouldn't be that difficult to find.

Yupas soon as I seen his name I knew we had zero chance ​@@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212

They truly are overly protected

The infamous cion flip screwed up the week before the jets Seahawks game the week before committed by the same ref.

I used to gamble quite a bit back in 2012-2015. Back when I could win fairly often. I didn't need costly apps to analyze stats and make different lineups, I could spend an hour picking teams. While I didn't win a ton I was at least over break even. I still like to play a little but I play .10-.50 cent contests and I don't spend more than 2-3 dollars a week. If everyone did that, these gambling apps wouldn't be as massive as they are. Too many suckers eager to lose hundreds to thousands of bucks in a fantasy they'll win it all. People that win have inside knowledge of what players are getting used and how heavily.

Why gotta be an idiot when we know it's all rigged and scripted, bet accordingly and profit off of it obce you know the code they use.

I mean people do win

​@@TracksideViewslol that's what they want you to think

@@queenserena99i have won i started this year and never used my own money thats how people should do it

Well in the Refs' defense here the Lions made a huge mistake going for the 2pt conversion again after they were exposed. The refs didn't tell them to do that. That was on the coaching. They should have kicked the extra point after they were penalized not go for the 2pt conversion again.

@@Fender178 no it was on the refs, they come in before the game and talk to the coach to ask them about any type of trick plays they’re going to run etc. Dan Campbell specifically told them about this play. Told them that Skipper was reporting all game and if they needed to use this specific play that Decker would be utilized as the eligible receiver. They were aware this play was going to used in a situation like this. He then told the sideline official they were running the play that was talked about before the game. All things the national media didn’t discuss. Anyway you know they’re going to announce it, but you send multiple players over by the ref when he is reporting to try to throw the opponent off. They had Skipper report all game intentionally because if this play was needed, they were throwing a curve ball and having Decker report. Again that’s why they sent them all over, it was to confuse the Cowboys knowing they explained this to the ref before the game. The only thing the Lions did wrong was trust that the officials were competent. The NFL is full of sh*t and they just don’t want to look bad. Everyone and their mother that watches that video sees the ref looking directly at Decker as he reports by swiping his jersey, which is all he has to do. Here’s what happened, the ref reported the wrong number. It’s not that the wrong person reported, had nothing to do with having 3 people over by him when Decker was reporting, he saw Decker, knew it was Decker, but his simple mind reported the wrong number. Yes the Lions should’ve kicked the extra point afterwards, but that is besides the point, there shouldn’t have been an afterwards. That’s the major flaw with saying the lions should’ve kicked after, there shouldn’t have been an after. What happened after is moot, they botched this call. Also the kicker for Detroit was Bagley and he wasn’t super reliable. Campbell trusted his offense more than the kicker. That would’ve turned into a 38 yard kick and that’s no gimme for Bagley. Of course he can connect but he wasn’t in the 90% range for 30+. Nonetheless the afterwards should’ve been a kickoff and a Dallas choke. But instead the Lions got screwed again. Oh and the Lions are the most unjustly officiated against team in the NFL. That’s a fact.

@@Jay_Cannon While that is true the Lions still made a mistake though that had nothing to do with the refs. It's not the ref's fault if their kicker isn't reliable.

@@Fender178 last thing I’ll say is correct but we’re now we have a perpetual argument because you say that and I say it shouldn’t matter what happened after because after that play is irrelevant because if they don’t blow that call the Lions win (or at least are in the lead with under a minute to go) so your scenario never plays out. Your point is secondary to my point, yes they should’ve kicked but it’s besides the point. Plus kicking would’ve tied it anyway, not won it. The Lions had the game won, it was over. Dallas was cooked, they’d lost all momentum. But let’s play devils advocate, even if Dallas did win at that point it would’ve been on the Lions defense and then that’s a totally different story. So to finalize; did that call, the one that all of America saw when Taylor Decker declared eligible and apparently the only person in America that didn’t see this transpire was the simpleton official standing 3 feet in front of him and literally looking straight at him in the video, cost the Lions that win? Yes. Whatever happens after if called correctly is totally irrelevant, Lions win.

Especially when he implies how dangerous "phone calls" are. Bizarre.

It's also very badly edited, especially the audio which seems to miss bits of dialogue and moves on to the next without taking a breath and not syncing with the video images at all, also a few misspelled words that can easily be looked up

@@A-small-amount-of-peas YES!

There was more of a chance of fixing in the days you find nostalgic. In order to "fix" a game today, you would have to avoid the digital footprint of every transaction required. Impossible. The scrutiny applied to all involved is 100x more focused now, making it impossible to hide. People who whine about it being rigged are just trying to feel special

You know it bro. When Mahomes and Toney can throw a fit about a rule they were clearly breaking, you know they are used to getting special treatment.

You guys are such babies. Nick Bosa is a racist I don't know how anyone can feel bad for that piece of trash.

He who moves the most merchandise gets the biggest push.

Afc championship 2 years ago vs the Bengals. Chiefs o line was tackling the defensive linemen when Pat scrambled and got pushed out of bounds. Should have been offsetting fouls, but the nfl wanted the Chiefs to win.

@@Sillyrascal111 Nobody listens to a silly rascal like you...

Seems like you still follow the NFL.

Of course not. Nobody leaves profits to chance, like Brian Tuohy says. Also, I figured out the NFL is putting doctored kicking balls in the game, so whenever they what a team to miss, they put the ball that hooks in the game. They did that to Buffalo this year so Kansas City and Mahomes would advance...

@@ClassicJukeboxBand I've seen videos that suggest that tiny radio devices, disguised under some of the more "artistic" brand markings are implanted in the footballs used by the NFL and the basketballs used by the NBA. Then the outcome of a kick or a shot can be controlled remotely. Sounds a bit extreme but with the refinement of technology it's plausible.

@@Famijoly Yes, for sure. I would think that they can do it the simple way by just putting counter weights in the balls to make them fly funny.

That called no catch on #6 catching a sideline bomb was the last straw in that game. Smitty makes the catch no matter how many times you watch the film, and the extra time that would’ve put in the game makes it likely that the Eagles win the Super Bowl. Shit pisses me off to this day, not to mention all the other abysmal calls and corrupt mistakes like the field management

When Stefon Diggs dropped that ball against the Chiefs in the divisional round I said to myself and many others that the Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl, no matter what. I should have done what you did.

Taylor swift got the NFL an extra 300 million + in revenue alone for being at the game. Not hard to see why . Even as obvious as it would appear, they still ran it in lol

And the game was rigged how? I don’t recall the refs forcing the Niners to muff a punt or not get any points off Mahomes’ pick? And I believe a questionable call against the Chiefs helped the Niners continue their drive in overtime. Seems like y’all are just mining for salt.

@@SpittUp if I was mining for salt, I wouldn't bring up the fact that Patrick Mahomes can never be the goat of anything. Brady beat him twice in the postseason on two different teams. One in arrowhead. The other in the Super Bowl. Coincidentally Super Bowl 55 is the only Super Bowl the Chiefs appeared in where the offensive line was called for holding

Zack Hample agrees.

Lamar jackson? Lol nah, quite the opposite. They ensured kc won sb. T. Swift brought millions of extra viewers. Hundreds of millions of extra revenue. Just for her ties to kc. I agree with the other rigged games. But last year was another kc rig job. Not the first either

Okay? So what? You don't know the outcome and it's entertaining. Do people say tv series and movies are rigged! Lmao it's entertainment. It's not about being real 😂

That was a joke article. You and so many people have fallen for it. Jesus

From 2016-18 the NFL appeared to be manipulating games through refs so that teams losing could get back in the games & bring the game down to the final possession. It seemed to have more to do with getting viewers to keep watching rather than helping any one team. Plenty of games looked hopeless & suddenly penalties extended drives the last possession of the game could determine the winner.

Noticed this with the CFP this year. The media coverage and advertising of Bama pulling an upset in the SEC game was just too much. And after seeing FSU and Georgia both get sleighted in place of Bama and Texas everything said before the SEC game was just par for the narrative.

Yep

The Packers drove right down the field after that happened, they woulda scored again anyway

Good lord. A fumble can only be caused if you have possession. The issue, by rule, is that Dez didn't have possession before the ball hit the ground. They haven't changed that rule or said that the call was wrong. I was at that game, sitting in the opposite endzone, and called it. My brother and I offered a $1000 bet to the fellow Packer fans behind us that it would be ruled incomplete. They didn't take us up on it, nor would we have tried to collect. But point made, it wasn't a catch BY RULE! Take it up with your sewing circle about all the reasons the Cowboys can't put it together since 1995, but stop harping on this textbook call.

@@ToadHallPub he had two feet down and made a football. At that point the ground cannot cause a fumble . It doesn’t matter . The refs called it and it’s done .

One being a banker says it all

That one was definitely rigged

Im a Jags fan as well. And I agree Myles wasn't down. Even Brady says Myles wasn't down. But I don't think the NFL would do that. Everyone likes a underdog. I think more ppl would have watched that SB if the Jags had made it. Human error def cost us that W that we def earned. But I dont think it was coordinated.

Why do you think the NFL cares what teams are in the Super Bowl? Ads are sold months before the teams are determined. I've never heard of anyone invited to a Super Bowl party ask, "who's playing?" If anything, the more compelling story to an uninterested party would be the underdog. How do you get several dozen well-paid athletes and officials to orchestrate a charade without anyone saying a thing?

As a Patriots fan, that was SO blatant, I looked around for the FBI and GUbbermint to come in and halt the game. Did anyone ever get in trouble for that? The fact that the big networks and big press dont really investigate can only mean they are in it, or at least told leave it alone. Billions of dollar business, I wish I was 10 years old again when I thought this was all on the level. Human nature I guess

There's still plenty of grown man children that think it's real. It's all they have to look forward to

Source?

@@joeyanthony7831 Call Brad Holmes. Taylor Decker told the media he was mic'd, so was Goff, Sewell, and Skipper. That call cost the Lions the first seed.

Not to mention James Harrison repeatedly punching Aaron Francisco in the helmet on punting play and not being ejected. There were also the questionable roughing the passer calls in the first half against the Cardinals

I’m not defending the complete ineptitude of the officials. I despise them in fact, and the blatant nonsense has pushed me away from the game, despite my own passion for my team. I’m through with giving my personal energy and emotions to an enormous entity that doesn’t give a damn about me. And it pisses me off that I can’t stop watching.
