Dude, I felt for the Saints at the time but this is just getting sad. In fact, I seem to recall you - Iām sure it was you - saying in the play by play thread after the Saints/Steelers game that bad calls happen in every game to every team and that they all even out over the course of a season. I believe that bad call against the Steekers (when playing the Saints) wa an honest mistake. This non-call against the Saints for the Rams was pure intentional cheating. The NFL has a lot of money invested in LA. The Chargers and the Rams just moved there. They are building a new expensive stadium. The two biggest markets are the Northeast (New England) and Southern California (Los Angeles). A ref was excused before the game because he had ties to New Orleans. But what do you know --- the two that intentionally fucked that obvious call live in --- you guessed it --- MOTHERFUCKING LOS ANGELES !!! It was a conspiracy by the NFL to get LA and New England in the Super Bowl. Might as well watch the fucking WWE for fake pre-determined bullshit entertainment designed to separate NFL fans from their money and put in the pockets if the FUCKING NFL. Winners (Rams) keep winning. Losers (Saints) blame the refs.

Why even bother sdm? He's got the tin foil blinkers on to the stage that it's the sensible and measured arguments (including his own) that he's finding crazy, rather than the idea that the NFL consorted with two referees to make sure that a penalty wasn't paid in order to cost New Orleans a game, even though they still took the lead the very next play. But I'll give it one last try. Surely if there was a league wide conspiracy it wouldn't leave so much to chance? The side that was scripted to win wouldn't fall behind in the last minute. The scripted winner wouldn't have needed to kick a 48 yard FG to extend the game to OT and then a 57 yarder to win in said OT. The undesirable team would not have had first possession in OT. Why would a conspiracy leave so much to chance?
That is so true. I am way more leery of blowouts being rigged than I am about close games like this where one or two 'no calls' might have effected the outcome.

Oh fucking quit with the "fix" shit. Movieliker actually thinks that the NFL would bribe referees to tip the game in favor of the Rams for a supposed slight ratings bump? If this is public, the NFL, and professional football as we know it, is dead. The prize isn't worth the race. And, like another said, are you really going to bribe a ref and then see a 45-10 Saints blowout? And he thinks the Super Bowl rating are like the World Series ratings, dependent of local ratings. Not true, the majority of American will watch no matter who plays. By the way, this supposes that Los Angeles is a huge pro football town. The city that didn't have a team for 25 years? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Trying to imagine the reaction if the identical situation happened and it benefitted the Patriots. Then it would be higher justice. => the Hand of God Ask the Britons on this board what it means.
