    Losing to the other team is one thing but losing because of the refs on a non-call that was obvious is a joke.  The NFL is supposed to be a sport not the WWE.

     

    Actually, no. If the NFL was classed as a sport, with individual teams competing against each other, they could be charged under antitrust laws for fixing games. But being classed as a form of entertainment, the teams are technically working in unison for entertainment purposes, so it's perfectly legal for the NFL to fix a game. This isn't a crazy conspiracy theory by the way, but was actually argued by the NFL in a court of law.

     

    The NFL’s own lawyer stated that the league competes in the “entertainment marketplace.” Because NFL football is in fact entertainment and nothing more, perhaps that was why in yet another court ruling, it was proven that the NFL could fix its own games and legally get away with it.

    After last nights game I realized I am watching a lighter version of WWF and I need to not care as much about this ***** anymore.  So you all can defend not whining about rigged calls.  Then get all upset over some MLB not playing up to his contract.  It is all a bunch of BS.  Enjoy the spectacle that is the NFL. 

     

    I've long thought of the type of "special" you have to be to like "wrestling", and every year I am continuing to question my viewership in this league and what others around me think of actually liking this "sport".

    Actives and inactives come out I believe 90 minutes before game time.  Can anyone correct?

     

    Also let's not wish for ending anyone's career  although there's seldom a player who deserves it more than Mr. NFL Sanctioned Club-Arm Used to Commit Assault.

    Doh! Thought it was a 1pm game.. I normally don't wish for other players to get injury but Gronk is the exception..
