It's no revelation that gambling tends to attract the criminal element. I have no idea if the league is behind it or if refs are involved or if certain players are involved, but there is just too much money available out there for there to not have a certain level of fixing going on.
Think about it..say for example a corner is offered a few cool million to let a reciever catch a ball and win the fantasy jackpot for the week.. That would be more than easy enough to do..miss a tackle here and there, fall down and be injured for a few plays. There's no limit to the availability to let plays happen and I'm not just picking on corners because any position can fail to make a certain play.
Everyone has seen games where the defense looks like they couldn't tackle a ref much less a running back and offenses look like there's no possible way they could ever score..
Oh well..all I know is I'm not going to be offered millions to throw a game..
I don't know. In football you would have to have more than one guy involved unless it was the QB.
