 Get this through your head¡­.(Joe Pesci)

ONE guy that CONTROLS the entire game from start to finish which in football is the Quarterback absolutely cannot rig a game by themselves? They control the ENTIRE game if they change plays they throw incomplete passes they take sacks how in the hell can you not understand this?

It¡¯s the same concept of a Boxer losing a fight on purpose¡­only difference is they are on a team that THEY control. You telling me PRO boxers don¡¯t rig a fight and take a fall on purpose to lose the fight? Are you kidding me?  

@cd329

 I am not taking about sports books rigging games which is the reason I mentioned PLAYERS who control the game. So a high prospect college PLAYER can be persuaded to control and rig the game and receive a big payout but an NFL pro player cannot because why?

Do you even understand the difference I¡¯m trying to make here between people who believe the sports books and the league are doing the rigging in contrast to what has been proven that PLAYERS especially the ones that control the game can rig the game. 

Geno smith can¡¯t receive a big payout by an unknown person or people that receive a HUGE payout by an under dog cover while also getting a Seahawks win? How naive can you be to believe PRO PLAYERS don¡¯t have debts in their family or whatever issues they have going on in their lives. Just because they have pro contracts that¡¯s nonsense?  How naive can you be to not believe PRO PLAYERS can rig a game THEY control!

How naive can you be to believe there¡¯s no other PRO PLAYERS or college PLAYERS rigging games but that 1994 proven rigging was just an isolated incident. How many are rigging games and not getting caught? 

@EastsideBangers

Depends on what you are categorizing as scripted. If you watch how Geno Smith was playing I believe more in games being scripted as certain characters players or player can script the game to cover the spread. There are proven documentaries that prove players can control the game. Look up ¡°Bad Sport¡± a documentary of the 1994 Arizona basketball team rigging games for a payout. Geno Smith who controls the game was orchestrating a win for the Seahawks but not cover. Just rewatch the game and you can tell he was making sure the bears cover. 

Let¡¯s just say Celtics win game one¡­.what will the ML be for warriors game two? Would it be wise to take the ML on warriors game two? Warriors cannot lose two at home that would be demoralizing. Let¡¯s not get into the high ML debates because if warriors are a decent ML game two how can warriors backers not play the ML? 

@Miracling2

been watching nba since the 90¡¯s and I haven¡¯t noticed this observation. 

@begginerboy

Finally someone brought up the palming evolution! I tried to explain this to my buddies and they say get off my lawn old man¡­The crossover dribble by Tim hardaway was amazing that changes the game. I¡¯m not sure who first coined the first crossover but Tim Hardaway sure caught my attention. I see palming all the time and as a defender it¡¯s impossible to defend because it¡¯s impossible to try and swipe and steal the ball when someone literally Carry¡¯s the ball and prevents it from bouncing. Definitely has changed the game but it¡¯s more entertaining to the younger crowd because they do not want to see John Stockton dribbling down the court¡­.

With no money involved and as an nba fan¡­.I¡¯m rooting for a guy who¡¯s been on the dam timberwolves made his way to Miami and has a chance to win his first ring. Would love to see it happen especially when the whole world will be on the warriors. 

What do you expect Jason Kidd to do? Imagine being a coach and your best bench player is Bertans who’s basically gumbo who only shoots 3’s

Seth curry had to ask Nash to take him out please because he has 3 fouls before the half 

that is the prime example of how refs can control the game...but the magnitude of Rams destiny to win at home is over shadowed by idiotic fans...there¡¯s a reason it¡¯s a trillion dollar business 

Had to make up for that blown offensive PI no call....Holding automatic first down was obvious 

Jimmy G and Tannehill have similar numbers...these QB’s cannot win the big games...there’s only a select few that have the ability to win Super Bowls.

just game managers that can throw slants and the occasional ball down the field. These two QB’s will never win a super bowl 

a 1980¡¯s throwback! Gonna be awesome 

LA -2.5

Congrats Bengals you have won the super bowl after watching these 2 QBs 

Tallied one on the chalkboard so far....

Was gonna start a Jimmy G thread since we will see it soon...I wonder if we will see the same exact performance like Tannehill because they have similar numbers...

That call before the half for chiefs was one of the worst that costs them the Super Bowl...
