are pro sports rigged? nfl, nba, ?
hey guys, I'm not saying all games are rigged, but I've definitely noticed. to me the referee's are the ones that are controlling certain outcome in high stake games. there was a game today, ravens vs dolphins, where miami in the 2nd qtr, henne threw a pick to L. Webb, webb then RAN it down to the miami 4 yard line. here's what happens in the next 5 plays
1 and 4 at miami 4 willis mcgahee right guard to miami 5 for -1 yard
2nd and 5 flacco get's sacked for 10 yards
timeout baltimore
3 and 20, j flacco sacked AGAIN for 0 yard
4 and 20, field goal, s. kock FUMBLES ?
so your telling me they are at home and mind you up 10 to 7 at this point, get murdered in the nextt 4 plays, i understand, but also miss the field goal opportunity, cuz of the fumble.
I love football trust me I do, but sometimes i just wonder if it's to a certain degree scripted. cuz hell defensive coordinators and offensive coordinators, could straight up be talking to each other after each and every play? is that possible?
and to the new addition of the rules in the nba, where they are calling technicals easier now, I think that's just a way to control the games more, because these spreads sometimes are too close for the bettors.

I think so, how about games where neither team can move the ball, but as the 4th quarter goes along, all of a sudden, neither team can be stopped. Why do teams use the prevent defense, when it never works! You were able to cover receivers the whole game, but now they decide to lay off and let the other team complete passes. Why do they only call holding, when a team throws a touchdown pass? The NFL wanted the Saints to win last year, they were given every call. And the NBA doesn't want Tim Donaghy to talk, he can't be the only ref to go rogue.

The NBA used to be because of officials like Joey Crawford and Tim Donaghy (i just finished watching a bunch of bad Joey Crawford calls and how Tim was betting on games). But the new NBA rule is not needed, players need to show their emotion, their grown men and should be able to express feelings, its not like they're hitting the ref.
