[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 596583, member: 1194"] I know what I saw - I guess I HAVE to post this to see what other people saw. I'm wondering how obvious a fix has to be in the NFL before someone comes to the conspiracy theory that I firmly believe in. Evidence: Steelers vs Titans. One play left in regulation - everyone knows there's a sideline throw to come with only 8 seconds left, no timeouts. Hell, the commentators even mentioned it was coming. Titans RB is NOT COVERED by Steelers linebacker #51 - his only assignment. Even though, Titans miss field goal. Overtime. Titans win flip. Dwayne Washington (Steelers #20 - an experienced, talented player) inexplicably gives Titans #86 Justin McCareins (a nobody) about a 15 yard cushion (he'd been doing that most of the last half of the 4th quarter), then flubs the attempted "tackle". Next play, Washington loses McCareins AGAIN, setting up a chip-shot field goal. Titans MISS the field goal, but Washington needed to bail them out again, so he interferes with the kicker who had already kicked the ball a full second before. There wasn't ANYTHING that Washington could have done on that play OTHER than interfere with the kicker. He lined up uncovered by the Titans and barreled right into him. While I know I will get flak for this, I am just wondering if anyone else doesn't have blinders on, and doesn't swallow the Faith that with millions of dollars on the line, you couldn't have a handful of people in an entertainment industry in on a fix. edit: I guess you're welcome to comment on the stupidity of believing that people would throw games (a proven practice going back to the early 1900's) for money, but I'd prefer your objective observations of the plays I described.
