Kayfabe News NFL Style
Last night, I watched the NFL's decision to award Seattle the championship over Denver.
"What?!?!?! The NFL is not fixed!!!" you yell?
Please tell me you still don't believe in that. It was a shock to me to learn at age 10 that wrestling was not real. That's OK, I still enjoy seeing it. To be fair, it is more enjoyable than any other professional fixed league (NBA, NFL, etc.)
My brother an I figured out the fix on the NBA back in the 1990's. We could predict game outcomes, and scores to within +/-2.5 points. At that time, we conceded that the NBA was completely, if not largely, fixed with regard to outcome.
I have railed on this hard with the NFL in the last few years. So let me give you just a sampling of logic to ponder: This year, the highest scoring team ever in NFL history was crowned - the Denver Broncos. Yet, they somehow not only lose the championship, but only score a single touchdown in the process (71 offensive touchdowns over the season - that's over 4.4 per game).
Prior to that, the all time offensive team was the 2007 Patriots. They had scored 67 touchdowns (4.2 per game). That year, the Patriots did not lose a game until the Super Bowl.
If that were not enough "irony," consider this: that 2007 Patriots team is the one that got caught spying on the Jets. The League destroyed the evidence, but the man who caught them on camera happened to be a lawyer, and he sued to reclaim losses for his ticket purchase price. The court essentially agreed with the man that the games were fixed, and that the actions of the Patriots, the Jets, and the NFL were despicable. However, the court found that the man had not been subject to a breach of contract: he did get to see "NFL games" for his tickets, even though he had a shocking revelation of what an NFL game is.
A complete work.
Too bad the WWE's Creative department is much better than the NFL's. Makes matches and events much more fun than the NFL could ever be.
