For years I felt it was "fixed"...now I'm not so sure.
My theory was that the league wanted certain outcomes and the officials could control a game enough to get most of them. Call a penalty on a big play, call a hold at just the right time, etc.
I didn't think the players are in on it which is why sometimes it doesn't go the way the higher ups would want.
Anymore I don't really care, but I do think the league still has results it would LIKE to see for the sake of the narrative and the league itself.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
