The refs were “on the take” in the Samkon Gado game. Holding in the endzone = safety no matter what. Knee down in the endzone, safety. An illegal forward pass to no one.
How could they have screwed that up so badly without there being some chicanery?
Wemby to the Spurs was fishy. And the Pistons magically falling to pick #5 AGAIN this year was also fishy.
The Steelers were handed 2 Super Bowls on fishy calls. The game against the Seahawks and the game against the Cardinals.
The year that Cliff Avril became a free agent, it seemed like the teams colluded to artificially supress salaries around the league. Tons of guys ended up settling for 1 or 2 year deals below what was projected as their “market value.”
The Pittsburgh Penguins are on the verge of folding as an organization. Fan support has dropped. The team is bleeding money. A storied franchise is on its way out of the NHL.
But here comes Gary Bettman, rigging the draft and handing the franchise Sidney Crosby.
I can’t touch the Ewing one, but the ref partying on Jerry bus / Cowboys game in playoffs makes a damn strong case for being top 3-5. That’s not even Lions bias. That could have been AFC TEAM 1 / AFC TEAM 2 and I’d have sat there in disbelief.
