This reminds me of an old Shug Jordan story:

Shug Jordan began his career working for Bear Bryant as a scout. Shug said the first day of his job, he walked into Bear's office and Bear said, "Let me tell you the kind of guy we want. You know the guy who gets knocked down and stays down?"

"We don't want him, right?" asked Shug.

"Right. Then there's the guy who gets knocked down and gets back up again."

"Do we want him?" Shug asked.

"No. But then there's the guy who gets knocked down and gets back up and gets knocked back down and gets up again."

Shug nodded. "Okay, so it's that guy we want."

Bear shook his head. "No. I want you to find me the sumbitch that keeps knocking everybody down."

I was probably about 8 to 10 years old. The dog was a small to medium sized breed.

I was running home and decided to run between their house and another. Dog was sitting on a porch. As I ran past him, he jumped off the porch and latched onto my ass with his teeth. 

Held on for a few seconds too. When I kicked it into a higher gear, he let go and I ran home crying.

To top it all off, my mom got mad about it, called the neighbor over and pulled down my pants to show them the bite marks on my bare ass.

Not exactly the best day of my life...

Stop, I can't breathe.  Thanks for sharing that.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
