We are all being trolled by Cincinnati Sports

No we don't because that is utter bullshit. This isn't the WWE where they pull punches in staged matches, so that guys don't get hurt. Do you think wrestlers would go along with that if they were really getting hit and thrown around? NO. That's the difference between something like the WWE and MMA. When your health and well-being are on the line, you're not going to fake it. 

There are way too many people in the NFL--league office, officials, team owners and FO, staff, players--to pull off any kind of staged performance, even IF they wanted to. It's impossible to do that and keep it under the table. 

It is so beyond ridiculous to claim that the game is fixed, i'm surprised anyone...with a fully functional, right mind...would agree that it's a possibility. 

Human beings, by nature, do stupid and unexplainable things all the time. When you see something egregious happen, like the Saints game last year, it's simply that; natural, stupid human's being humans. 

Constantly citing crackpots being crackpots does not make the claim, in any way, legitimate. 

When a player is charged with domestic abuse or suspended for PEDs, is that part of the "script" too? Because that would effect how a game would be staged. If one player sees another player, of his same position, making more money than him, is he going to "go along" with making less money for the sake of the "script", or is he going to try and play to a level that gets him paid too?

IS EVERY SINGLE GUY CURRENTLY AND IN THE PAST GOING TO AGREE TO A STAGED OUTCOME, WITHOUT THERE EVER BEING ONE INSTANCE OF A PLAYER SPEAKING OUT OR IMPLYING THAT IT'S RIGGED?

So, you're trying to tell me that as inept as the NFL has been in handling numerous instances of player conduct, on and off the field, that they are able to script an entire league, without it ever being found out?

Or, maybe they're just so genius, that they're able to pull something that impossible off... 

And beyond all that...the funniest part is, do you really think that the millions of people betting on the game are going to lay down their hard earned money on something that is staged??

Brian Tuohy. lol. Be careful who you hitch your wagon to. Those horses could be heading straight for a cliff.
