Is the NFL Rigged?

[MVP23]

In 2006 Rodger Goodell became the commissar of the NFL. Of course, after enduring almost 4 decades of sucking, the New Orleans Saints miraculously went all the way to the NFC Championship game. Of course, a year earlier hurricane Katrina just about destroyed New Orleans. What team would the Saints have faced in that Super Bowl? THE COLTS! The hometown boy (sort of) Peyton Manning! Clearly if he had had his way, it would have been Saints V Colts 4 years ago, but the Bears were just to good...coincidence?

2007-08. The infamous 18-1 New England Patriots. We ALL remember the bogus calls the Patriots were getting that year. I'm not saying the Pats weren't good, but remember that game vs the Ravens on MNF? Of course they get all the way to the Super Bowl with a perfect record, and of course lose.

2009. The 0-16 Lions. One year removed from the 'perfect season', the Lions go 0-16. Coincidence?

2009-2010. Once again, the Saints, after 4 decades of sucking are somehow a top team again, and who is the team they play? The Colts...again. If you remember the FIRST MNF game, when it was made clear for a pass to be a catch, a WR MUST go all the way to the ground with control, or else it was INT. Lance Moore clearly lost the ball, but yet, somehow, it was a 2 point conversion... coincidence? Its always a coincidence..

What will 2011 bring? a team that goes 0-0-16?..Its never out of reach with Mr.Goodell.

The Patriots were the first team to win the Superbowl after 9/11. Coincidence? I think not!

On 9/10/01 the Pats were headed towards a 6-10 season at best.

You know a teams "best" record after 1 game? Go watch WWF or something.

I doubt Drew Bledsoe was going to lead the Pats to the promised lead.

In 1886 Geronimo surrendered to General Miles, 84 years later the Kansas City Chiefs won the Superbowl. Coincidence? I think not!!

How old were you during the 2001 season?

[MVP23]

8? lol

In 1903 The Wright Brothers successfully flew a plane, 67 years later the New York Jets won the Superbowl. Coincidence? I think not!!!

Part 1 not enough? Lets go further back. On 9/10/01 the New England Patriots were on the fast track to 5-11. 6 months later and they are in the Super Bowl. Ahh the PATRIOTS! What better team to represent our country at that time huh? And of course, on route to said Super Bowl NFL refs basically make up a rule that make Oakland Raiders cringe to this day. 7 years later, and it turns out they were cheating the entire time.

2002- John Gruden, the fiery coach is on a new team. He leads that team to the Super Bowl against....HIS OLD TEAM! What are the odds huh? Chucky gets the last laugh. Unfortunately his team never EVER returns.

2003- Spygate

2004- Spygate

2005-The Pittsburgh Steelers overcome all the odds, and beat the Colts in the 2nd round of the playoffs. You have to either be really naive, or a Colts fan to think the refs weren't trying to hand this game to Peyton Manning. Props to the Steelers.

There you have it. Obviously the Paul Tagliabue 2000's weren't as riddled with WWE type storylines as the Rodger Goodell era, but it had its fair share.

13.3 to 13.9 billion years ago the Big Bang happened, 13.3 to 13.9 billion years later, I am successfully mocking this thread.

If the NFL was rigged why would spygate ever come out?
