I think there is something more going on, and if there truly is.. it's likely to do with nudging certain games for gambling purposes. The NFL is also VERY open about league parity and keeping games close, which I believe the officiating caters to. 1 Quote

Funny how in the era of parity.. we go from a perennial Super Bowl winner in the Patsies to a perennial Super Bowl winner in the Chiefs. Where exactly is the parity? Quote

Where exactly is the parity? Oh, I don't know... maybe with the current champion Eagles.. or it could be with the Bucs... Perhaps when Burrow and the Bengals went to the Super Bowl, but lost to the Rams. Yep, no other dominant teams but the Chiefs and Brady's Patriots... Quote

Turk71 Posted July 14 Posted July 14 The NFL has argued in court that they are a sports entertainment business...like WWE. Quote

Gotta disagree with you on that one and it wasn't exactly my general point to begin with... Parity and down to the wire games create ratings. It's all part of the shared revenue, salary cap system they have in place. Again, I think there is some sort of "nudging" going on, but some of that is geared towards keeping games, divisions, and playoffs competitive and ratings monsters. It's all baked into the NFL machine, along with Vegas... Quote
