NFL Former NFL player Dwight Smith claims Vegas determines who wins games in NFL (1 Viewer)

[Hustle]

Pretty interesting interview with former NFL player Dwight Smith. I’m not one who thinks game results are predetermined, but this is interesting coming from a former player. He talks about how the 2002 Super Bowl was rigged and mentions how the Bucs got beat twice by the Saints that year. This was on a local Tampa radio station’s morning show this morning.

Bucs SB Champ Dwight Smith joined Ronnie & TKras on Radio Row in one of the most bizarre interviews ever, as the former CB said every Super Bowl is predetermined (that LV rigs the NFL) & that the Bucs 2003 Lombardi Trophy is NOT legitimate b/c the Raiders lost on purpose? Listen to it all here

It’s probably not true but I WANT to believe it is

Opposite for me.

sort of find this hard to believe re: the Super Bowl. but there are some sketchy back-door covers at the end of already-decided games that make you scratch your head and wonder.

Just like the NFL wanted the RAMS to win in 2018!

I mean ever since the NFC Championship no call I've leaned more and more to it being rigged. More and more signs pop up every season.

Edit: I mean you gotta be some kind of stupid or either doing your "job" by not throwing a flag. The average person knew a flag should have been thrown. Can always throw the flag and if you truly missed a call that way then sometimes officials talk and say that there is actually no flag and pick it up. Would have liked them to have done the opposite and discuss and decide to throw a flag but I've never seen it done that way before for PI, plus it wouldn't be following their mandate.

Either accept the truth you saw with your own eyes or continue to cope and comfort yourself

If the nfl was rigged, why hasn't the nfl put the cowboys in the superbowl in the last 25 years?

There have been conspiracy theory rumors going on for years, especially by former Raiders WR great and HOF, Tim Brown that something was off or strange about their pre-Super Bowl XXXVI preparations in that former HC Bill Callaghan suddenly just changed the team's gameplan a few days before the game itself and that was the catalyst for Pro-Bowl Center Barrett Robbins having a nervous breakdown and just leaving unannounced night before the game to travel to Mexico. Tim Brown has been inferring that Callaghan, in protest against how Raiders owner Al Davis traded away the team's genius HC, and mentor, Jon Garden, to Tampa seemingly out of spite or impulsively as a knee-jerk short-term reaction after the bitter Tuck Rule Patriots loss in January 2002 essentially sabotaged his team's chances at winning the Super Bowl.

Which doesn't many any sense, IMHO, because he would be self-sabotaging his own HC career and his own future success as an NFL or NCAAF HC to make such a decision? Or maybe he didnt care or felt the sacrifice to emphasize how much of a mistake the Raiders FO had made the year before trading away Gruden?
It's a hard, difficult logic to believe in or follow but then again Raiders fans have long been suspicious of NFL FO's decisions concerning them, their disdain for their attitudes, culture, fan base, former owner, etc.

It's classified as entertainment... how many non-scripted shows do you see on TV making money? The owners don't win by winning games anymore.. they only win by attracting the most eyeballs. The antitrust exception that allows them to collectively negotiate TV contracts has ultimately and predictably removed the competition.

Their market is already thoroughly capitalized and posseses limited opportunities for future growth.

Similar reason as to why the NFL can set the Saints up as the fall guys/washington generals: everyone is such a big fan that they will always come back for more despite the abuse.

Of course it’s true. What reason do the NFL and Vegas have not to? The answer is there isn’t one.

 

[mr.t]

Opposite for me.

I certainly believe it.
