I may have found the one sports doctor who's worse than Dr. Chao. This guy is famous for calling players who get hurt often soft and makes fun of his own patients (yes he's a real practicing doctor). Here he is telling Christian Watson's father that he wrong about what injury his own son has.
Not a chance. Like zero.
"NFL is scripted" people are the flat-earthers of the sports world.
What does happen is referee favoritism - intentional or not - for certain teams and players. That's where the "this whole thing is fixed" talk comes from.
Yeah, the refs influence the games to favor certain teams. The problem is is that it’s not even well hidden the last couple of years, and certainly plainly obvious since the Tay Tay era started
I wouldn’t use the word scripted. I would use the word rigged though. Because the reffing is absolutely rigged for a certain team and especially for a certain player
"volume stats aren't great at establishing who's good and who's not"
Here's looking at you, Eli Manning
Really? Did you not see the Bengals/Rams SB?
No flags until the game was on the line...
Is it rigged or unintentional favoritism?
You see the same thing in MLB. A rookie hitter has a tight strike zone. A vet with a reputation of having a good eye at the plate will get the benefit of the doubt on close pitches. Works with pitchers too. A pitcher with solid demand on any given night will get generous calls that might be a little off the plate, where if a pitcher who is struggling throws a pitch in that exact same position it will get called a ball.
Umps/Refs are human. It might not be intended bias - but it definitely happens.
Yeah but if our shit line blocked Darnold on that last play Chase scores because his defender fell down. Burrow needed - litererally - one more second and the Bengals are Super Bowl Champs.
The NFL was NEVER going to let some podunk team beat the shiny new Rams, with superstars top to bottom, in the sparkling new stadium, in a market they desperately wanted to crack...if the refs could help it.
Yeah, if Stafford got hurt and the score went to 40-10, refs can't stop that, but that last two minutes in that SB were pure comedy.

It's too frequent to be unintended. Especially once Tay Tay became a focal point for the NFL. Cant hve her boyfriend losing games
The fact that there has never been on offensive holding flag against the Chiefs in any of their superbowls, despite many many obvoius holds is pretty telling.
Yet, their opponents get called.

Imagine having Hackett and Arthur Smith as your offensive combo
How do these bums, who have proven they are idiots, continue to keep getting jobs

If any team in the NFL needed an experienced backup QB it was Miami, fuck knows what the GM was smoking leaving Skylar Thompson as the #2.
Can't be worse than Blaine Gabbert and their GM is usually pretty good.
You mean two time Super Bowl winner Blaine Gabbert?
Put some respect on his name!
It's not like he got those rings just sitting on the bench you know.
Considering what wrestlers used to do to people who called it "fake," I can only imagine what would happen if one of these people went up to some of these monsters in the NFL, and told them to their faces everything was fake.
Be like Haku biting that guys nose off in a bar with some of the psychos that play in the NFL. Or at least the Stossel treatment.
I can't speak for before, but he was absolutely terrible while in KC.
oh shit, I forget who it was with, but I just remembered I had a $50 bet on the cardinals to beat the 49ers!!! WHOEVER YOU ARE, MAN UP AND PAY UP!
I should have put /s at the end of my post, he was indeed terrible.
Here we go with that sarcasm thing again. I understand now.
