The NFL is scripted but they make us sign something so we can’t go into detail... Tired of holding back.. Who want the full story ..

Hmmm, this is from April of 2020. Seems like we'd have heard this story by now. Pretty cool that we're getting to this 9 months later.

The NFL scripted the bears to suck ass for 30 years? Not very creative

The biggest evidence against the NFL being scripted is the third most populous city in the country having a historically shitty team, while a 100,000-person town to the north gets a rotating cast of Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

In some ways I could see it. While I dont think it as obvious as wrestling, the discrepancies in holding calls and PI is absurd. When I re-watched most of our games it looked like Mack and Hicks were being blatantly held on 3 out of ten snaps. Also seems like the teams that end up in playoffs always get the benefits of iffy calls. With as much money is at stake i could easily see how the game could be tweaked by calls/ no calls.

The mere fact that the NFL held off scheduling the Saints playoff game till Sunday instead of Saturday so Kamara would be back is an indication that at least SOME things can be scripted. I wouldn't be surprised if it went deeper than that.

We have all seen important division games between 2 teams be moved from the early game on Sunday to the Sunday night game..Thats scripting as well.

You still have to beat the team you're scheduled to play however.

Referee interference for gambling reasons is a thing.

Chicago fans should consider not being Homer's and you won't motivate the wigs against us.

We know that happens, unfortunately, but with corporate consolidation you now have to worry that the information analytics data companies, own the sportsbooks, and the media, and have league partnerships.

Things have become far more intertwined than in Benny's days.

ESPN, Disney, Yahoo, NHL, puck and player analytics, fan duel, draft kings...

The conflicts of interest being allowed are astounding, and these companies run betting shows and lead people right into the traps they profit from with misinformation.

Even Lebrons media team tried to get in on the action a few years ago, near their inception, they announced the entire Cleveland starters were having an off day, flipped the lines and spread a false tip, which the league covered up for them and politely was like...yeah dont do that.

Sports betting/gambling sure - scripting Alex Smith nearly getting his leg amputated. No.
