Oakland vs. Tampa Bay: Super Bowl XXXVII
- Thread starter Deep Thought
- Start date
I'm sure this has been brought up, if not ima throw it im the mix...
The NFL is fixed, straight up tell me its not just look who won it last year with our nation in termoil and wanting to connect in national harmony, the team with red, white and blue, the goddamn patriots, cowinkadink, I don't think so.
and...
did anybody watch the same super bowl that I watched this year? I know it wasn't just me that saw the raiders not giving a fuck if they lost...you know why, because they still got theirs, they might of not of had gotten a ring, but with what i've been hearing they got theirs.
and...
From a vegas standpoint, with a thought to everything being cali related money wise, it would be less to pay off the raiders for vegas then it would have been if they had actually won, look at this in a geographical standpoint, tampa bay vs. oakland, what is the majority of fans to be found in vegas, playing the odds. Yeah its true that the buccaneers had a higher pay out, and i think that right there should have filtered the people that where in a 'throw up the coin' situation to side with the raiders.
Anyways this is what i've been hearing, and since I don't care for either teams (waiting for the seahawks) then opnion isn't that bias.

Neither the NBA, NFL or MLB is fixed, im sorry to break it to you. Sometimes things dont go the way you wanted them, or the way you thought they might. Sometimes things happen that dont really make sense, but thats just the way it goes. In reality, the best statistical team doesnt win half the time. The teams that win are the teams that perform well under pressure, the teams that play well together, not the teams that had a quaterback throw for close to 5,000 yards in the regular season (atleast not usually). Most of the negetivity you hear when it comes to sports are from biased fans, for example. This board is filled with people saying the Lakers didnt deserve those titles, and the Kings were cheated out of it. Think about it though, this is a Sacramento based message board, where are the Kings located? It is possible for certain players to get paid off to do specific tasks, maybe miss a catch or shave some points, but think about it. These are the same players with multi-million dollar contracts, what would they have to gain? They want a superbowl ring, thats all they want. The only person you can bribe with money would maybe be a third string long snapper, but what can he do? The EASIEST way to explain the irony in sports is to say that its all fixed, but trust me, its not. In conclusion let me say this now. To all of those out there that believe these sports are fixed, then please, dont let me see your ass during the season rooting for your team again, cause well, you know they arent going to win.
Im with you there. Of course my favorite team is the niners and ultimatley, I want them to beat whoever they face reguardless who it is. I am a big Dilfer fan, and i want to see him succeed. Any word on weather he is going to get his starting job back next season, or is hasselbeck getting the nod. I was all excited they finally started him then he blows out his knee. If you follow the story on Dilfer, its really a trip, but thats another story. They have alot of talent, Simmons is a SAVAGE at LB and Alexander is turning into a premier running back in the leauge. Maybe they can pick up a wide receiver in the up and coming draft. Good luck to them, I hope they finish well.
