NFL Fixed???

They would not risk the integrity of the league when they already are so profitable and have been for decades.

IMO the officiating is not very good.  I've been following the league since the 1970's.  There was a lot of bad calls then, there are a lot of bad calls now.  It's very easy to take a call that favors a 'popular' team and say that's proof of fixing.  Doesn't make it true.

There is so much BS in this post its hard not to reply. 

It would benefit the league immensely to have who they want playing and winning in certain games. You dont think an AFC Championship game between the Pats and Steelers would draw more hype/publicity/viewers than an AFC Championship game of the Dolphins and Bengals? 

Integrity of the league? Youre kidding, right? The same league that covered up concussions for years, continuously lets players off the hook for bad life choices that are detrimental to the league, and has completely sold itself out to make a buck? 

It wouldnt be that hard to skew games in favor of certain teams. Meet with officials, tell them to call pass interference a little tighter for a certain team etc. Thats all it takes. 

If the NBA could do it, the NFL could certainly do it.
