Was the 2014 NFC Championship game rigged? - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Change title to "Other than the 1972 Olympic Gold Medal BB game what sporting events have been actively rigged?"

Might need this thread with the Olympics in Sochi about to start.

I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but I think it's odd that the Astros' stadium has a grassy knoll in centerfield. Dallas is 232 miles away from Houston, which is the exact number of total yards Russell Wilson had in the so-called "Super Bowl" - Pete Carroll subbed in TJAX to be certain Wilson would finish the game with that total. Both Houston and Seattle have 7 letters in the name of the city, and neither had won a Super Bowl prior to Sunday.

Yes, I think the refs rigged the Panthers game for the 9ers.

Good thread bro.

so league rigs nfc champ but allows superbowl to be worst ever in over a decade centred around the self implosion of their biggest stars legacy

makes sense

I turned it off. Bitching about helmet-to-helmet calls (which always get called if it looks close) and missed holding calls (which happen about 405 times a game). Nice tin foil hat, bro.

not watching or reading anything itt, just going to assume that it goes directly to FOX not showing useful camera angles on the Trindon Holliday fumble so that the refs could overturn it and give Denver a brief glimpse of hope that was promptly and comprehensively dispatched with extreme prejudice shortly thereafter.

I think the OP video is worth watching. Very entertaining, you could really feel the passion. Wish I was that passionate about anything.

It's not like only 50 million would watch the SB if San Fran played in it instead of Seattle.

If the NFL really wanted to rig games and match ups, they would have had Peyton play for an NFC team so he could face Brady in the Superbowl.

the issue is not the nfl is rigged it's that the refs are ****ing awful and some of the replay rules are so dumb and arbitrary that i'm not sure who came up with them.
