NFL “Script” from September

This picture was posted by the NFL back in September and shows Darnold and Maye at the front closest to the Lombardi trophy. I personally don’t believe in the “script” theory. I do believe that the NFL will influence specific games to get a more entertaining outcome at times. However, this is gaining some steam online and even got a response from NFL PR.

The NFL absolutely has preferred outcomes. Playoff viewership can swing pretty dramatically. But honestly, the Super Bowl is an entity of it's own. Doesn't matter who is there viewership is going to be massive. It's the biggest television event of the year and is way bigger than the game of football. It's a complete media spectacle and the football game itself has honestly almost become a background for it. The diehard football fans are tuning in for the game, but the spectacle itself is what draws the massive viewership and there's a lot of people watching that don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to football. It's why I don't understand all the uproar from football fans about halftime acts. Guys, the halftime show isn't for you. They know that. They're not catering to you with it. You're watching anyway. The halftime act is to try to maximize the non-football audience. Let them enjoy it. Halftime for you is a break to grab some beers and wings. I can honestly only remember actually tuning in for one halftime show and that was the Dre/Snoop/Eminem year.

I don’t really much watch the Super Bowl anymore. Especially when the same team is always in it. Sometimes. But for all those reasons that tie in with that generally obscenely overproduced halftime show, I care less and less.

We have had some good contests. But with all that stuff and Taylor Swift and the whole thing I barely paid attention to it last year. So often it is about the commercials and the halftime show and the game is just meh. 
 

The conference championship weekend, generally, is where the real Super Bowl is played. At least as often as not. 
I think that the Rams Seattle game had the two best teams in it.

From a design perspective... the favored teams would be in the forefront to catch the eye. Barkley, Purdy, Burrow, Mahomes, Watt... the usual suspects. Those way, way off in the distance, closest to the trophy, would be the ones that at the beginning of the season they would have been writing off as no chancers, so they get the wee teeny-tiny images in the picture.

There ain't no fix, just people manufacturing clicks.

Ah yes, the NFL is fixing games so masterfully that were only left with disgruntled fan bases like ours complaining about whether or not a catch was a catch, but they reveal their grand plan in some stupid image from September lol

I don’t think I’ve watched the Super Bowl all the way through in a few years. It feels less like a football game and more like a parade with some football sprinkled in. All the celebrities, acts, performances, 100 commercials, etc. 

I made it about 10 minutes into the Swifty bowl before I turned it off. I think she had more camera time than the game.

The NFL isn't scripted.  It'd be impossible for it to be scripted.  What DOES happen, is blatant biased and incompetent officiating.  I don't know if someone is in the pocket of the refs, or if they're just idiots, but it's the worst officiated sport in all of sport.

Is strange all the big name refs retired in like a 2-3 year span and then it got significantly more obvious.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
