I have some older guy at work that goes on and on about how the NFL is all played-out and staged. I just can't buy it. For me, it just seems like too big of a wheel to keep from squeaking. Now, have there possibly been some games swayed by the mob back in the day? Maybe. Who knows? But as a collective large entity, I don't believe it to be scripted.

You tell me how both small market franchises the Panthers & Jaguars in their 2nd years of existence with scrub castoffs and just 2 drafts ,both make it one game away from the Super Bowl???

Rams 2nd year back in LA make it to the SB?

Peyton Manning being benched during the season, just to start the playoffs because his arm was shot,just to have this fairytale send off as a Super Bowl Champion. When he could throw maybe 35 yards and the ball was slow in the air.

Other curious things.

911 happens- Patriots win,couldn't make it too obvious picking the Giants. Patriots get the USA spirit.

Katrina hits New Orleans. Saints are a crap team 2nd pick in the draft. One name was the supposed next Superstar. The Can't miss name. People already know this college kid. Reggie Bush. Next year Saints are winners playoffs.


1987 Strike Fans are ticked. 1988 TV ratings blah blah year.1989 The Vikings trade 14 players for one player and the Dallas Cowboys become,America's,Team again and TV ratings soar.
