isn't easy to see that football is fixed?

Watched the Browns game first they get hitting a defenseless receiver! The guy got hit in the end zone with a shoulder to the shoulder. There is no set rule here once the refs figure out who the money is on they just throw the flag. Then the browns get a pass interference on a cheap call in the end zone cheap cheap call to give the game to New England. Bill Belichick will get credit again as the greatest coach ever. Yeah right he is a hack and a cheat he got caught video taping and stealing opponent's signals during the games. The NFL loves fixing games and cheats instead of kicking him out of football and banning him from the game. He just got a slap on the wrist and a fine.

In an incident dubbed "Spygate,"[18] on September 9, 2007, NFL security caught a Patriots video assistant taping the New York Jets' defensive signals from an on-field location. Jets coach Eric Mangini, a former Patriots assistant, tipped off league officials that the Patriots might have been filming their signals. After the game, the Jets formally complained to the league.

    I don't know if the NFL is rigged, per se, but I do think the officials help nudge the game in a particular direction. The pass interference call was terrible.

    The defenseless receiver call earlier was just as bad. In the Viking game today the Viking RB was clearly down by contact (it wasn't Adrian Peterson) and then the ball popped out. Yet they ruled that it was a fumble and even upheld it on replay. I'd say that most of the refs are incompetent, and clearly the NFL wants that. If they didn't want incompetent officials they would do something to change it.

    Fred if you don't think that those tapes had any impact on the Patriots winning game there is not much hope for you. Immediately after their Super Bowl game vs the Rams there were players were saying it was like they knew what plays we were going to run, even plays we had never run before in a game.

    In all the games I've seen, bad calls have been pretty evenly distributed. The noticeable ones just happen to result in awarding or taking away game-winning scores. Now, in the NBA, on the other hand....

    Don't confuse fixed games with horrible, incompetent officiating.

    NFL is not fixed. But the officials do suck.
