NFL Fixed???

[grampahol]

Look, if you're going to fix games and I definitely think they're fixed you still have to sew doubt in people's minds that the games are fixed...LOTS OF DOUBT... So...Brady takes the fall knowing that they're still going to win even when he isn't playing..
These kind of conspiracies don't get cooked up by stupid people and they don't leave a lot to chance. 
If you're going to cook the books you don't leave it to chance that maybe the guy holding a pocket full of loose change might squeel on you. No, you pay that guy to take the fall and let him appear to be the guy who bet his family fortune on the gold mine that never was. 
When people are fixing games there's a lot of people in on it and they cover just as many bases as possible and people who might spill the beans are kept on the outside and not paid. Players aren't paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per game just because team owners are nice guys and just want to share the wealth. 
Why do you think it is that politicians are almost always thought of as crooked? It isn't because politics has a long history of only having upstanding citizens of high moral character. They're all back biters who all know each others dirty little secrets and if one squeels they all squeel. It's mutually assured destruction.  Everyone has their own nuclear bomb just waiting to be lobbed at the other guy.
