2025-26 NBA Season

So is the NFL rigged? Yes or no?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. That's my diplomatic response.

Brunson is 95% an offensive player. Mavs probably just wanted a player who can help on both ends of the court.

He lead the league in charges drawn... think that should count for more than 5%

You just pulled that made up stat out of your ***.

 

[Bamx]

Huh? Who did the Hawks beat twice in the 1st round?

I mis-spoke on that one. They remained undefeated after those 2 loses.

Still very impressive

So is the NFL rigged?

That is the excuse people give when all their predictions come crashing down.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Now here comes the “yeah I knew the Knicks would win” crowd lol. Easy to say that after they are up 2-0 but it ain’t over. Spurs still got youth and Wemby on their side.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I think the Spurs will win game 3. The league will want them to win. They want Wemby to play well and get the series to go 7 games. I think they will call fouls early when the physical play starts and not let the obvious fouls go like they have in the first 2 games.

If they want this why did they have them lose game?

Lol. So true.

When the Spurs made the finals, a bunch of “Spurs fans“” came out of the woodworks.

Now that the Knicks are winning, a bunch of “Knicks fans“ all of a sudden show up as well. You can’t make this stuff up.

 

[RonWashington]

Whoever wins I suspect this will be the highest rated TV finals in years with these two markets headlining . NY & Texas .

They will want it to go 7 games.

Is the NFL rigged?

The do make adjustments on what they call.

So it’s rigged and orchestrated?

Why do you devote your life to following something that’s completely fake and made up?

It's the entertainment business. Do you not get it? I can tell you this, the league favors the Cowboys going forward. They will make a lot of money if the Cowboys are good and the Cowboys could win the division this year.

 

[jterrell]

Every major league is a business with a bottom line.

The NFL is less apt to ref influence because they do not have series to extend. No NFL ref has been jailed.

In the NBA you see game 3s really lean heavily to team that needs a win.
Great teams overcome this and win anyway but check the 2nd quarter in the next NBA Finals game for free throw disparity.

The NFL is more subtle. It's as simple as we aren't calling any offensive holding calls this offense drive because the game is 10 points and we want it 1 score.

Right you truly can’t lol. Front runners lol.

It can only go 7 games with Knicks going up 2-0?

I never understood the “it’s rigged” crowd. I’d never watch it if I felt that way lol.

Lol.

The NFL is “rigged”, and they would make a “a lot of money” if the Cowboys win going forward. What about the last 30 years? Did the league just not want to make that much money? But they all of a sudden care now and want to make money now?

But if the Cowboys do not win going forward, does that mean the NFL is not rigged? I’m just trying to keep up. It’s a very convoluted web that you are spinning.

And if the NFL is rigged, how on earth does it make sense to have the Seattle Seahawks and Sam friggin Darnold win the Super Bowl? That’s the dumbest storyline that I’ve ever heard.

Looks like your head is spinning. I never said the NFL or NBA was rigged. Any idiot can see that they make adjustments on how they call the games. I suspect that the NBA is going to call fouls early in game 3 which gives Wemby an advantage.
