IS IT RIGGED?

Diehard football fan, both NFL and NCAA.

Yup, I will be watching.

Fixed? Probably not. Massaged? Maybe.

Don't really care. Its my favorite form of entertainment on tv. As long as I don't know the outcome ahead of time, Im good.

As far as the "felons" thing-

Read recently where the arrest rate for NFL players is actually slightly lower than that of the general population. True? No idea.

I really don't care. They are entertaining me by playing football.

Wish my Chargers would have done better but they have Jim Harbaugh and he will get them squared away rather quickly.
 
YES!!!

It is a highly guarded secret fact that a cabal of very rich and powerful people, including the top referees, get together in August each year to agree who will win the next Super Bowl, then they all quietly place thousands of relatively small bets on the chosen team via online sports betting services using various aliases. I am risking my life by divulging this information.

Oh, and I still have that bridge in Brooklyn for sale, if anyone's interested.
 
As much as I’d like to say it’s fixed I don’t believe that. I believe some refs are really bad at their jobs. You see it in every game. Mahomes and Reid will always get the iffy calls just like Brady and Belichick before them. I just wish they would use replay to correct blatantly bad calls. Penalties, spot of the ball etc. They have the technology so get it right. It wouldn’t delay game any. We’re talking 1-3 bad calls a game.

How much is this bridge you speak of?
 
To quote Robert A. Heinlein, "If you can bet on it, it can be rigged.":D

The losers will always find someone or something to blame other than Themselves. Never mind that Sunday will be one of the biggest sports betting events of all time, the outcome will still be determined by the best Team. I do not watch the NFL often and since the transfer portal and paying college athletes has all but destroyed the integrity of college football, I don't watch much of that either. See Ya at the range Sunday.
 
Look at the last game w/ the Bills, Allen had 6 yrds running in the 1st. half.
Look at his face (Allen) with the first two plays of that game, too.

Don't want a ban, to repeat the NFL rumor about Mahomie, but if the KS
team wins, the rumor is true. on the ticket " Entertainment Only"
Hope for a good game and not 38-3 @ halftime.
 
Bad calls? Missed calls? Intentionally wrong calls? Intentionally dropped balls?
I don't know. However, I bought a new bigger, sharper smart television, and reserved front row seats right at midfield in front of the new TV. With the bigger, sharper screen 4K smart TV surely I'll see the fraud it it exist.
 
Referees, last time I looked, are human beings. As a human being I can attest that we make mistakes way more often than we'd like.

Rigged?

Anything's possible. Corruption abounds among human beings as well. However, the league has a vested interest in insuring that it's not rigged. If it is rigged, and it comes out, their gravy train ends due to lack of interest.
 
I'll watch it for a while! As soon as the refs start calling penalty's for being too close to Patrick Mahone I'm out! You couldn't pay me to watch the halftime show! no talent rappers!
 
I'm pulling for the Chiefs and enjoy a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, however.

Would any organization driven by money actually rig success for a team in a smaller city in the middle of fly over country while both NY teams suck?

There’s only one New York team. And it’s neither of the two you are referring to.
