I'm in no way accusing anyone of murder, but I definitely don't put tampering with game outcomes past anyone involved in pro football. Anyone who thinks that tampering and dirty deeds are impossible or beyond the people involved in football are beyond naive. That would be like claiming there is no such thing as a corrupt politician.
Sure, a kicker or a quarterback with gambling debts might throw a game.
But a grand conspiracy to throw games so certain teams win--with all the refs in on it, the owners, and maybe the replay cameras too?
