They wanted them to win Diontae Johnson told reporters in the locker room after PIttsburgh lost 20-10 against Jacksonville.
They was calling… everything was in their favor.
But it is what it is.
Im moving on from it.
The NFL has a serious problem.
Listen Roger, I was born at night.
But not last night.
Make light of this shit all that you want.
We’re fucking dying here watching this shit.
You mean “this whole fucking year”?
It’s been fucking atrocious officiating across the board in the NFL for years now, this year especially.
So to say that today has beenthe utter fucking worstis really saying something.
And Mike Tomlin isn’t the only one.
Bastion of level-headedness and composure Jim Irsay lost his shit this past week.
Tuesday, Irsay shared an update on X for Colts fans.
The first part of the post was about rookie quarterback Anthony Richardsons surgery, which apparently went well.
Then there were these two massive call and no-calls in the Philly and Washington game today.
Then there was the Miami and New England game.
I seriously thought I missed something here, or was seeing things.
San Fran was stuffed on 4th down, we all literally saw it with our own eyes.
Zac Taylor was apoplectic on the sidelines and rightfully so.
The other female ref basically told him to get fucked and the game progressed.
It continued throughout the remainder of the game.
That wasn’t even the only big controversial ball spot today.
There was also this one from the Arizona Baltimore game.
Figure this one out.
And He’s Dead On.
So the hashtag #NFLRigged was flying around everywhere on twitter on Sunday.
And for good reason.
That flag was fucking outrageous.
Especially given the circumstances.
It’s fucking bullshit).
And for good reason.
The players want to be properly lined up.
This flag took the game-tying TD off the board.
Florio didn’t harp on the egregious no-call PI on the final play, but I will.
It only exacerbates the belief that there was no way Washington was winning this game.
And this shit happens EVERY.
But do they get some serious ridiculous calls?
And it’s not just against them.
It’s week in and week out.
That it started and stopped with him.
Probably the same people who believe Oswald acted alone.
Theres obviously the greater propensity for whistles in basketball vs every other sport.
Having them off the floor dramatically influenced the game.
Racking up a 4th and 5th, spaced out, foul later in the game didnt seem so extreme.
To think this was an isolated incident is banana land.
Im not necessarily saying that refs or the NFL fixes games, but Im not saying they dont.
Turned out theyd been doing it for 10 years.
But why did he lose?
OK, but why not?
But at least the court decision is online, and you might read it for yourself.
(emphasis added)
If the Patriots cheated to win that game, well, tough.
Legally extrapolate that and it means: If any NFL outcome is fixed, well, tough.
College football, for example, is legally classified as a collegiate sport.
The only other sports entertainment businesses are professional wrestling and roller derby.
They run into the tunnel and hide behind the shield.
If a player or coach calls them out on it they’re fined tens of thousands of dollars.
Occasionally they will offer a half-ass apology.
Either way, it’s fucking lunacy.
“And we all know, now that were grown men, that wrestlings fake.
Well, football is not played like it was when I played.”
Now it’s such an entertainment business.
It’s turning into the WWE really.
It’s like the Vince McMahon stuff.
Basically, [Roger] Goodell is like Vince McMahon."
You’re complicit in that: You put on the uniform.
And it’s a trivial thing at its core.
It’s make-believe, really.
That’s the truth about it."
Like something run by the government where we’re just forced to swallow it and deal with it.
We’re not buying it.
The league could employ the same technology for its sidelines and they could have done it years ago.
Not like its a billion-dollar industry or anything.
