Given The Crap That Is/Has Happened In The NFL - How Can We Be Sure That.....

[global1]

the SuperBowl is on the up and up?

Really? - Paying coaches to tank games so they can get the #1 draft pick? Come on!!!

2. What I do know...

Strongly sense that Joe Burrow's and the Bengals are authentic. ..Bengals have lost for 33 seasons because they had often poor coaches, cheap management etc...

6. Go Bengals!

[FarPoint]

8. This Super Bowl...

It is the real deal.

3. No idea what you're referring to.

4. Pete Rose should be getting an apology from the MLB/NFL and NHL

Vegas and Atlantic city Sports Books anytime now. He was just prescient of things to come and tried to cash in early. A Bookie before his time.

Wait until wide receivers start dropping the ball, or corner backs letting the pass get caught for a $2 million payoff. Fun times ahead.

5. Rams/Bengals will get the work at draft picks this year

They are playing for the trophy, bragging rights, history and cash. Neither team will be tanking the game.

7. While everyone is wondering if the players are crooked

the gambling tycoons are paying off the referees. They are much cheaper than the players. It's right there for everyone to see. Every football game I watched this year had some blatantly bad referee calls.

11. +1, the refereeing in some of the games have been OPENLY horrid

9. The Bengals lost to two teams that have abysmal records

the Bears and the Jets. Including playoff, they have wins against KC (2), Pittsburgh (2), Baltimore (2), Las Vegas (2), Tennessee, Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, and Vikings. Of those only Detroit and Jacksonville were in the draft choice race. It should be noted that Detroit beat Green Bay the last week of the season and Jacksonville beat the Colts the last week of the season.

10. Welcome to the WWE/NFL

With so many legal gambling outlets, Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe should both be in the Hall of Fame.

12. You can't be sure. nt.

13. Trust the process????

I'm a Sixers fan and lived through the insanity of "trust the process".

The only reason the nonsense stopped is when the commissioner stepped in.

I felt bad for Bret Brown who had posted notes on the back the players jerseys because he never knew who was available for his lineup.
(I'm kidding about the posted notes, sort of)

The system rewards tanking.

The owner of Dolphins will be tossed overboard because he was not "discreet" about it. (No pun intended).

14. Rest assured the NFL will investigate this

as diligently as they did Jerry Jones hosting game officials on his party bus!!
