Since the NFL became such huge dollars over the last 20 years, look at the teams that have won Super Bowls.  Do any of them come from states where there are college football powerhouses?  The answer is no.

The Patriots don't compete with ANY college football team.  There isn't a competitive team within hundreds of miles.  

The steelers have Penn State, but they haven't been in the running for a title in a long time, and the pitt panthers suck, which explains why so many steeler fans are also Buckeye fans. 

The Giants don't have any college competition. 

Broncos, Seahawks, Packers also have no college championship teams nearby. 

The NFL bags the state of Ohio, because they have the Buckeyes.  Ditto Alabama and Florida.  

The major focus is on the upper east coast (Pats, Ravens, Giants) and the steeler fans are everywhere because our country is overflowing with fat, uneducated losers.  But the real point is they don't have a college team to pull dollars (merchandise, viewership, etc).

It is so blatantly obvious when I watch games like I did on Monday.  

One of the main reasons I thought the Bengals would get a fair shake and win it all this year was because the NFL likes story lines, like the Saints after Katrina and the Pats after 9/11.  Being their 50 year anniversary, Marvin's (supposedly) last year, etc.  But right from week 1, I could see that wasn't going to happen.  

Wow, you are really serious about the NFL controlling the outcomes of games!  If you truly believe that why do you even watch?  

The truth is the haves and have nots are determined by which organizations are run the best, of which the Bengals are not one of them.  To think the NFL dictates who wins and loses on Sunday is ludicrous.  For this to happen many people have to be in bed together, for every game, every week.  If this was the case don't you think just once one of these people would come forward and say: "I was involved in the NFL's conspiracy".  It hasn't happened because it doesn't happen, period.

Please stop.  So the ref through the flag on Gio after he realized AJ Green had caught the ball and was heading for the end zone?  Please.
