Didn't watch either game. Fuck the NFL. My only hope was the 49ers and the Eagles could have both lost. AFC is not my thing but i would have to pull for the Chiefs if i watched as i hate the Eagles with a pashion. Shitty town and shitty team.

so vegas is fixing games as the betting is coming in so they can figure out who they need to win to make the most money?

Its clear as a bell now

Beats me since I stopped watching the NFL decades ago, except for an occasional Super Bowl... but... I wouldn't bet against the above.

Players ain't faking injuries and all that stuff. But I can see an official fixing a game. It likely happens more than we think

Yep. They can call holding on any given play. That can change a game QUICK!!

Soylent Green is people.

Pass it on.

[Simple Man]

Maybe they do, most likely they don't. I just refuse to live so jaded and cynical. Damn.

[BullJakeGrappler]

I watched. Looked like an ACC or BIG 12 crew officiating the SEC Championship. ROTFOL...

i thought there was hope for VG....

[Love2labs]

You are exactly right!

[TheVisorGuy]

You don't think a ref would intentionally make a bad call or no call if he were being paid to do so?

There are people in the world who play with little boys, kill their own families and dress like the opposite sex....for free

[ziggy]

i mean there was a huge nba officiating scandal a while back, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility for the nfl to fix certain games.

i don't think it's happening, but it is possible.

Boxing is most easily "fixed"
Basketball has been done a few times but always been a case of 2 or more players conspiring together or two refs working together.
Football - sure it's possible but would require multiple refs in on it in my opinion. Too many players, too many eyes, Highly unlikely

[TheVisorGuy]

Some of y'all have way too much faith in humanity. Good on y'all

This should give Dirty Dabo some ideas with all the former NFL playas he collects...

High school basketball coach posed as player in game, school system says

Both the girls junior varsity and varsity basketball teams decided to cancel the rest of their seasons. (WTKR, NFHS NETWORK, VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE, CNN)

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WTKR) - A Virginia high school’s girls basketball season ended early after one of their coaches was caught pretending to be a member of the junior varsity team, the school system says.

Portsmouth Public Schools says Arlisha Boykins, an assistant basketball coach at Churchland High School, posed as a player on the girls junior varsity team and played in a Jan. 21 game against Nansemond River High School.

Churchland wound up forfeiting the game. The school system was notified of the incident the week after it happened, and they say both Boykins and the head coach of the junior varsity team are no longer employees of the school division.

Billy Haun, the executive director of the Virginia High School Sports League, says he is disappointed by the actions of the adults involved.

“When an adult commits to being a high school coach, it’s not just about coaching the game. They take on a lot of responsibility. Adults who fail to live up to those expectations, I’ll just put it bluntly, they fail students,” Haun said.

After the incident was reported to Churchland school leaders, the administration met with players on both the girls junior varsity and varsity teams and their parents. Both teams decided to cancel the rest of their seasons.

“We failed kids because we got a group of young ladies who now will not be able to finish their season because of the behavior of some adults,” Haun said.

Haun says this is the second time he’s heard of something like this happening in Virginia.

If $ is involved, especially the amount the NFL generates anything is possible. Not real likely, but it has always fascinated me how close a computer can get on most of the point spreads.
