if there a fixed NFL then all the advertisers and there billions is at riskand involved all the TV money and the espn big contracts are fixed all these people involved to do what? win a bet? Why doenst the Pro gambler or the winning player ever talk about fixes? Do u think no one would of spilled the beans to save there own ass at one time or another>
Lets look at the famed Packer Seatlle game a few weeks ago .If it was fixed the strike would of kept going ,it was a perfectscenerio for the fivers to have replacement refs to blame .But what happened the bad call was made there was a big swing of money and the NFL immediatle settled the strike because they were fearful of people going away from the games I guess the fact that Rodgers never wins on MNF is a fix also. .less people buying the products advertised less people in the stands ,less people betting.Fixing would kill the game and break the owners ,thats why its not a widespread conspicercy, yes one or 2 instances probably occurred after all these years and all the games played in all the sports ,but for it to be anything but a isolated instance makes no sense ,

I tend to think there is manipulation in sports. The NBA and NFL seem to like storylines which can be pushed by ESPN, etc. This story caught my attention on 'Inside The NFL' when the replacement ref discusses that penalties are not suppose to be called during a hail mary and the rule vs the "philosophy" of the rule...interesting.
The networks after paying out billions for NFL/NBA TV rights want the best possible storyline mixed with what game will produce the highest # of viewers. With the NBA you have that locked up when you consider all the big markets have teams overloaded with talent and superstars. They cant afford to have anymore Spurs/Nets finals. The NFL does have their talent more spread out but seems to really push the storylines. Triumph or tragedy seems to be common theme in the NFL.
My question would be how much of the manipulation comes from gambling or from the top of CBS, FOX, NFL offices? or is it a mix?
