Rumor has it that people in the league head office aren't too pleased with this. Regardless of whether or not conduct like this has anything to do with favortism, it looks really bad.

If you look at the NFL's corporation documents, you'll find that they're articled as an entertainment company, much like pro wrestling. They're not obligated to follow the same regulations as other legitimate sports like horse racing.

Does that mean it's fixed or corrupt? No. But sometimes the way things work out I wonder. For example, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a Patriots/Cowboys superbowl this year. It'd be the perfect game between two of America's favorite teams measured by fanbase and revenue.

The Patriots have seemed to win on their own merits so far, but when you see something like that call in the Cowboys game you have to wonder. Remember, you only have to make questionable calls if the team you want to win is in danger of losing. The rest of the time you just let the better team win on their own. Much less conspicuous.
 
too lazy to find a video right now, but did you guys see that reversed pass interference call in the Lions vs. Cowboys game today? was such horeshit. was obviously pass interference, would have given the Lions great field position when they were in the middle of a big offensive drive trying to defend a narrow lead. and for some reason like a minute after the call the flag was picked up and the ruling was reversed. the refs basically handed the win to Dallas there.
 
The Lions got fucked hard. The NFL seems to be right out in the open these days when the Fix is in. The Lions should Sue those refs. Something needs t be done and instant replay review of every key call and play by an official off the field would be a great place to start. Even if they were only allowed to reverse or correct a call until the offense snapped the bawl this would get rid of 80% of the blown calls. it really that simple so maybe they want the bad calls for reasons.

I hate dallas more than any team in the league..

I can't believe we have a chance to crush them at lambeau. We better wax them.
 
man even one playoff win would have meant so fucking much to detroit/michigan in general. we don't have much going for us as a state, especially in the dead of winter when NFL playoffs are occurring.

would have been our second playoff win ever.

oh well.
 
I was just in the packer backer portion of your fine state teaching the kido to ski.
(my sis was born in the UP and i lived there for like 5 years)

I dont know if its something about growing up there or what.. but michigan has some very nice looking women. The UP also has some war pigs that strike fear into all living things, but man. UP chicks are tough and aggressive. They straight catch lock up, and stare your eyes, like they are reading if you're some slimeball or alright.

We should have an exhibition game one of these days.. if we win we get the UP. if you win you get minnesota.

Yeah, its total crap and there is no excuse for it.
