MLB wants Dodgers(Ohtani) vs Yankees(Judge) - NFL/Goodell helped the Chiefs

[Carter08]

When Greg and I agree on an issue that makes it an unassailable position, almost by definition!

That ignores all other revenue generating story lines. If the Bills made it to the Super Bowl it would bring a ton of eyes. Who wouldn't want to see the Bills either finally win or pitifully lose a fifth Super Bowl?

I do agree that exceptional players get the benefit of a lot of doubts. An umpire might call a strike on a rookie they wouldn't call if Aaron Judge were at the plate, for example. But league-wide collusion to alter the outcomes of games at the executive level seems farfetched.

This is true for Guys. But for female viewship it's all about the Chiefs and Kelce and the Tramp.

And no league wide collusion, not sure who started that. This is all Goodell, he is a crook. He is money & power happy. He wants the most watched most money generated SB's while it's under his helm.

Never mind that so much of this makes absolutely no sense at all (gambling? wouldnt Vegas DO BETTER by having the Chiefs LOSE??), so lets put that aside.

Whats the damn point of all of this? SURELY if you believe its fixed you arent watching the NFL now or ever again, right? I mean, my god, what a colossal waste of time. So if you arent watching, how is it you can recount all of the injustices? Why would you care? I dont see anyone giving us WWE updates.

And further, why talk about it at all? Yall just trying to help us see the light? Thanks? But like many things in life, you may find that nobody GAF what other people think.

Nope. This is just the 2025 contortion of bitching about teams/outcomes we/you dont like and pretending to put some sort of intellectual hat on it.

I hope all you fella's were equally up in arms when Brady was getting the star treatment......or was the Gisele's fault?

People thinking Taylor Swift fandom is determining the outcome of games is just bonkers to me.

I didn’t bring gambling into it but Vegas benefitted from the Chiefs win. More money was on the Bills with a higher payout.

And was that the case for every Chiefs game or can we conclude that there is no strong correlation between Vegas' position and the Chiefs outcome?

That is far from the case on every Chiefs game. More money was wagered on the Bills. Usually, but not always, more money is wagered on the chiefs. The books typically try to balance the money out but in this game they took in heavier bets on the Bills.

Listen to Burr on Rich Eisen, he pretty much nails it....

We've all heard the storyline plenty of times. Im not interested in leftovers. Im trying to have a conversation, apparently, with people who cant/wont answer questions. Im good here.

I think some of you are completely missing it. This has NOTHING to do with Gambling and Vegas.

Don't you all recall when Swift and Kelce first became an item and she showed up at a Chiefs game, then another, then another, and as this happened, it get every NON-Guy interested in Football.

Goodell saw this OBVIOUSLY, the Chiefs and the Swift thing were nearly doubling viewership and he knew the Chiefs were the team going to last years Super Bowl and again this year. With females interested in football you nearly doubled every source of income.

I know a girl, she's about 40, never cared about football. Last year she bought a Chiefs jersey and sewed Swift over the name on the back of it. She watched "Chiefs" games religiously week and week and the SB. She never watched a minute of footballl in her previious 39 years on this planet.

She is just an example of what happened and Goodell, hell call him smart, but I prefer power hungry and money hungry saw his meal ticket = the Chiefs to make the SB, the game itself as was last years will be clean, this was all about helping the Chiefs get there by the NFL once they're there, they've done their part. SB is clean.
