NFL is seriously scripted

If it was about making money then the biggest market teams would be the biggest winners.  But when you rank the teams by the size of the cities this just does not happen.  Here are the top half of the league ranked by media market size.

Jets
Giants
49ers
Raiders
Bears
Patriots
Eagles
Panthers
Cowboys
Lions
Falcons
Texans
Redskins
Dolphins
Vikings 
Browns

Over the last 20 years only three of those teams have won a Super Bowl.   


 

Fred, I agree. Also, wouldn’t it be in the financial interest of the league to have a wider variety of teams winning Super Bowls instead of a few teams winning over and over. You know, maintain high fan interest in more cities. The draft and scheduling aim for parity yet many believe the league is rigged for a few ‘chosen’ teams.

I don’t believe that happens because it’s not necessary, the league is hugely profitable regardless of the results. I do believe the officiating is very poor, but it always has been. The game, by its nature, leads to a certain number of subjective calls which lead fans to think the game is not on the level when the calls go against their team.

If I honestly thought that was the case I wouldn’t follow the sport. For those those that think it’s rigged or biased why do you continue to spend your time following it?
