   I don’t think there is an organized effort among the players or coaches to ‘fix’ the games, but I will agree that NFL management has pushed parity *hard* for a way to ‘fix’ the enneffell as a whole. We saw this coming down the pike a long time ago. It is now in full stride.

   Gone are the powerhouse teams of yesteryear: the 70’s Steelers, the 80’s 9ers, the 90’s Callous Plowboys. Football played to its perfection is gone. We now get slop. Teams are barely able to field 11 healthy men to run a half-baked conservative offense that would be rolled over on by Montana, Bradshaw and Aikman and their offenses. One injury and you can forget it. Thanks to the league, teams can no longer build any depth.

   It’s all about marketing. The league is even trying to shut down information outlets outside of the league itself. Shutting out local television markets from access to their respective teams. You’ll have to find out about your local team through the national mouthpeice of the website, not your local sportscaster who had lunch with the running back. After all, we can’t have them leaking information that we can control.

   I have been a National Football fan for more than twenny-five years (gawd, I’m getting old!) and it is beginning to disgust me. I continue to pay for the Sunday Ticket because I am still in love with the game itself, despite the degradation in most team performances. We still get to see some greatness upon occassion. While they think that they are perfecting the league, I am of the opinion that the NFL is slowly choking itself. I am just not sure how much longer it can breathe.

   That’s what I miss- the powerhouse teams, the David vs. Goliath match-ups. Nowadays there’s too much hype and emphasis put on individual players and power struggles between superstars and their coaches. The concept of a “great team” is getting lost in the media shuffle.

   The players are getting too big and strong. How else do you explain the dramatic increase in injuries. Look at how many big-name players have been seriously injured in the last 3 years in relation to those numbers 10 years ago. Muscles are getting too big for ligaments to hold. A thirty year-old, 240 lb QB shouldn’t be able to move like Donovan McNabb moves.

   It just seems like there’s no consistency anymore. The Steelers are a great example of that: they go 6-10 in 2003 throwing 30+ times a game, Cowher “learns his lesson” and gets back to the ground game, goes to the playoffs in 2004 and wins a Super Bowl in 2005, then reverts to the offense he ran in ‘03. Nobody’s that dumb, are they?

   But don’t feel bad, man, I still pay for the Sunday Ticket too. I’m starting to wonder if it’s just to watch the train wreck, though.

   Godfather Bankert, where did all these people come from thats great!! But I have been saying that all major sports are fixed since I couldn’t go to school for a week in 8th grade when when Webber called the infamous TO. Ever since then I believe its run my the mob

   Mike I understand your points about the dolphins, but the Dolphins did win 10 games last year with Gus Fucking Frerotte as their quarterback. And yes “fuck” is his middle name since that is what I said everytime I saw him drop back to throw a pass. It’s pretty sad when a one legged Culpepper and a first round flop like Joey Harrington are classified as upgrades to a position as vital as quarterback.

   Bird the fine folks who visit our site are from all over the world believe it or not. Balls Deep has gone global. By the way, I entered the Miller Lite Man Law competition last weekend and won a t-shirt with a shot of going to Vegas…my man law: If you want to get rid of a psycho girlfriend, marry her. It worked for several people I know so it has to be true right? As for the mob controlling sports, it would make sense because it is a multi-billion dollar sports betting business. I don’t see why they would be pissed if they couldn’t control the outcome of a game (that’s sarcasm in case nobody could tell). By the way, we will have t-shirts for sale. They scream of class…as you would expect from the people of Balls Deep.

   I think it is fixed through the refs. I really don’t think the players have any knowledge that it is fixed. Maybe certain players get paid off here and there but the majority of it is fixed through the refs making bad calls or “not” making a call when it is warranted. I made the correct prediction last year of the superbowl winner a full year before the 2005 season began. I am a Steeler fan but I told my friend that I predict the Steelers will win the Superbowl because it is Bettis’s last year and the Superbowl is in Detriot. The NFL also needed to have it’s “team of the decade” so it chose the Patriots since 9/11 happend.

   Remember the Brilliant Belichick was the head coach for the Browns and didn’t do crap for them. In fact Belichick’s record before coming to the Patriots in 2001 was 37-45. Not a very good record. All the sudden 9/11 happens and the NFL pick the Patriots to be the team of the decade.

   Let’s look at this season. I predicted before the season even started that it would be Indy and the Saints. So far I am right. I even think the SD game was fixed because they want Manning to beat the “Champs” of the NFL in the Patriots and also beat Brady in order to give his superbowl win more validity. The reason the NFL wants the Saints to go is obvious, to help with Katrina but the Saints won’t win. The reason they want Indy to go is two fold, they want Manning to get his ring because they don’t want another Marino and also there is a connection between the Mannings and the Saints since Archie Manning played for them. So that would be another big story line.

   So basically Indy will beat NE next week and the Saints will beat the Bears and then the Saints will lose in the Superbowl. You can bank on it!

   Not sure what my prediction is for 2007 yet. I’m thinking it might be the Packers and SD or maybe even Indy again. I am pretty sure on the Packers though. I think Favre will come back for one more season and they will go to the superbowl and win it so he goes out a champ. They already set up some validity there this year because they just fell shy of the playoffs.

   I guess the bottom line is I feel the NFL has like 3 or so scenerios they would like to see happen and they use the refs to try to bend the games in that direction. If one scenerio doesn’t work out because the team they are pulling for stinks too bad or the other team is too good, they go to the next. Like last years game of the Steelers vs. Indy. I really think they wanted Indy to go to the superbowl as their plan A and really tried to make it happen, (especially with that horrible interception that was overturned by the refs that basically would have ended the game for Indy) but the Steelers played too well so they went with Plan B which was have the Steelers win so that Bettis could go out on top.

   NFL= WWE (Professional Wrestling)

   After 911, the NFL takes advantage of the nation’s and government’s response. Flag shops were literally selling out of American flags, and the PATRIOT ACT was passed. Here comes Bellicheck with his losing coaching record, and he wins 3 Superbowls in the next 5 years. Patriots-Eagles - McNabb supposedly running a hurry-up offense, walking up to his line, instead running a stall offense Bobby Knight would be proud of. Colts-Indy - The most accurate kicker in NFL history kicks the ball sideways and the Steelers move on. Helped by the worst officiating and most obvious fix in Superbowl history, the “blue collar Steelers” win out.

   2006 - Houston passes on Reggie Bush, one of the most anticipated players to come out of college football in years. He falls to the Saints. Moving out the dead bodies, they clean up the Superdome, get an unknown new coach, a QB with a bad wing, and they begin their journey to the Superbowl. Brees sets passing records, the Falcons take a dive on Monday night, and endles references to the rebirth of New Orleans are shouted over panning shots of crazed Saints fans and parade-like confetti. The 3-13 Saints are a Superbowl contender! Ron Jaworski evens begs his audience to change any current vacation plans to New Orleans instead. Very subtle. Patriot-Saints? Possibly. How about Saints-Colts? Archie Manning, Peton Manning- what a great story that would be. Just keep watching the games; nevermind our trivial little war games in Iraq, Afgan., Somalia, and soon to be Iran and Syria. Pan-American Union between Canada, US, and Mexico recently signed by our fearless leader? Really? Pan-American 10-lane highway from South America thru to Canada just approved? Time to wake up people.

   HAHA! Just watched the Bears beat the Saints, which halfway kills my theory but just like the WWE writers throw the fans a curve ball sometimes, the NFL threw one. I now know what the plan was. The plan this season is to have a black man win the Superbowl. They brought it up, I don’t know how many times today. I still say Indy will win it all because then they have a double whammy there. A Black coach and the prince of football gets their rings.

   While watching the game today, it was very evident that the refs were calling the game in the Bears favor. From the bad call on the Saints turnover during a punt or kick off return, I forget which, to the intentional grounding call in the end zone on Brees. It was evident from the beginning that the refs were pulling for the Bears. I couldn’t figure it out until I said above I realized the theme this year is to have the Black coach win it all!

    i hear ya, bro. i thought it would be new orleans all the way but, as they always do, the nfl’s “writers” have waited until the last second to unleash their final twist.

    now it’s everywhere you look- “Finally, Black Coaches on the Super Sidelines” fuck this shit. Minority coaches scream for “equal treatment”, then bask in the glory of the praise they get for doing their job well.

    sure, the media is partly to blame, but i expect a coach (and a man) like tony dungy to step up and say something.

    Well, I just finished watching the Super Bowl and all I can say is I told you so. The Colts won as predicted and the last 1:42 by the Bears was pathetic. It was like they just gave up. Now the Prince of football has been crowned and a black coach has a ring. To further show how fixed this was, I couldn’t believe they actually gave the MVP to manning. Joseph Addai has 143 yards from scrimmage and a TD, Rhodes has 113 yards rushing and a TD and they give it to Manning with a mediocre 25 of 38 for 247 yards, a TD and an INT. I couldn’t believe it but oh well. Now on to 2007 Season.

    As I said over a month ago, the Packers are going to win it all next year and you can bank on it. I told you Favre would come back for one more season and low and behold last week he announced just that. So the stage is set. If you have $100, go to Vegas now and put it on the Packers to win it all because they want Favre to go out on top. If Manning is the prince of football, Favre is the king so they have to make sure he goes out with his crown. I haven’t decided on the AFC side of the ball yet who the Packers are going to beat in Super Bowl 42. I don’t see a clear story line yet. Have to wait to see how the off season progresses. I’m now 2 and 0 in superbowl predictions at the beginning of a season we’ll see if I go 3 and 0 next year. hahah. The NFL is starting to go down the WWE path. Pretty soon they won’t even hide the fixes and NFL football will become the next venue in Sports Entertainment. Pretty soon they will have players coming onto the field with their own theme music, LOL.

    Nfl is definitely scripted as you mentioned . Ex The Raiders vs Tampa .
    Coach traded plays his former team in the Super Bowl.Great storyline but so predictable.Felt last year was fixed with 2 black coaches and lame media making such dramatic display of the whole affair.Going back a few years Bubba Smith said the Jets -Colts Super bowl was fixed.As far as I see the Nfl has long been on the WWE path .
