    I have been reading/ seeing a few ex NFL players come out and say the NFL IS SCRIPETD this week.. most say the games are real but the outcome through out the season is scripted.... Makes a person wonder, some of the calls/or non calls by the refs through out the season........ and some of the super bowl matchups seem improbable .......................................................I have thought this or wondered abt it from time to time...

    No need to script it. If it did get out that they were rigging winners they would be in serious trouble, and the rating would take a massive hit.

    they don’t need to script anything, they have a massive cash cow no matter who takes the championship.

    I've wondered at times but realize it's next to impossible since people love to talk. It would be found out real fast if something like that went on.

    Where's the link? Aren't these posts reserved for the SDOTs and Benny Lavas of the world. bigbunch68 I didn't think you were in that camp, but that could explain the Tom Brady phenomenon. But if things are scripted, why do players get hurt?

    They aren’t actually hurt. They feign the injuries. Shazier has to continue the act whenever he’s in public

    I saw some crap come up on the 'click on this cuz you go to a lot of nfl sites" feed. Other lets look at me crap finds it way into my YT scrolling feed. Whatever, problem with conspiracy stuff is the more people you include, the more that have to keep their mouth shut...which is impossible if someone needs/wants money because somebody will always have money to throw your way if you have a 'story'.

    Besides the public view..which equals ratings and bucks, the growing revenue of legal sports gambling is not something the NFL owners (or players) want the state and federal governments messing with. The criminal aspect alone, but add the lawsuits from the millions who bet and the league would go bankrupt.

    Here is My main thing. Why would they even have to script it. It only takes one ref to change a outcome. Why would the NFL ....if it was wanting a certain team to win, or lose take a chance on scripting anything.....it would be way too easy to be caught.....it would be way easier for them just to have a ref make a few calls.....then only one person knows.....not whole freaking teams. That would be the dumbest $hit. LoL.
    Also when some people break down certain plays, and say .....Look there.....I'm like I have seen the same thing happen in High school , and college, and I know those aren't scripted, or nobody ever told Me. LoL

    I watched an interview with Arian Foster. Some show called macro-dosing, which I had never heard of but it popped up in social media feed. Could have just been a big joke to mess with the conspiracy theorists. Lol.

    This sounds like something you would find on a Bengals board.

    If you thought this was real, I have news for you.....you might be one of the people they were making fun of when they were CLEARLY being sarcastic/joking about being scripted.

    The knuckleheads who would rather believe a conspiracy than what 100 million people watched with their own eyes are trying to twist this

    Trevor Lawrence after making a comeback

    When the 31-30 win was in the books, Lawrence said it was the most fun he never wants to have again.

    “You couldn’t write a better script to win a game like that tonight, so it makes it more special, but don’t want to do that again,” Lawrence said

    Far from scripted, but I am worried about gambling and what influence it may have if a ref or player ends up with a problem.

    Can you imagine execs sitting in the room and writing the scrips for the David Tyree and Santonio Holmes catches?

    "Hey guys, I have a great idea. The Giants are going to win the Superbowl, and we're going to ask David Tyree to make a play that will almost never be successful."

    "Hey fellas, me again. Lets make the Steelers win, even though the Cardinals franchise probably needs a SB win more. Lets get James Harrison to return an interception 100 yards. Also, we'll get Holmes to drop an easy game winning TD, and then we'll get Ben to make a throw that he probably won't make, and we'll get Holmes to be in the end zone only by his toe nail, which he probably can't do. I see no issues with this script."

    "Hey guys, you don't think that one of these players will one day get mad and put pictures of our scripts on the internet do you" No, me neither."
