Are Refs Fixing games.

I doubt there's some grand conspiracy to disappoint Bengals fans and have people in Cincinnati jumping in mass into the Ohio river.. Yeah, that's far fetched, but it's simply about money, the bottom line and occasionally as in the case in NE to use the team name, Patriots as a propaganda tool for military recruitment and so on. 
I remember before 9-11 NE was an average team, not a powerhouse by any means then suddenly the term patriotism became big. I clearly remember telling people that just watch NE become a powerhouse team and win multiple super bowls because of the name..It sells and continues to sell. Names sell.
Maybe the Bengals should change names to something that sells,  hell, The Cincinnati Big Peckers! The Big Knockers ! That would sell and what guy wouldn't want his wife or girlfriend wearing a Big Knockers jersey especially if she has big knockers? lol 
That's it!  We should petition the Brown family to rename the team to the Cincinnati Big Knockers and watch us win the super bowl for the next 20 years..
