After reading that whole thing, I'm still not sure of what you are saying. You seem to be suggesting that the NFL and media wanted the Colts to beat the Steelers, but they didn't. Then they wanted the Steelers to beat the 'Hawks and they did. Again, I ask - DO YOU THINK THE GAME WAS FIXED? Yes or no? If YES, then just how does that work? Do you think the NFL calls the refs in and says "Ok, guys, the league and the media want Pitt to win this game, so you know what to do. *WINK, WINK*"?
Here's a crazy thought...the refs are human and sometimes make the wrong call, and sometimes one team benefits more than the other...I know, I know, absolute nuts...;-)
Yes. I think it was fixed.
And my suspicions were validated even more when the NFL issued that farse of a statement about the officials and the way the officiated the entire playoffs..
Circling the wagons instead of just letting it just go away..
Anybody who read that statement and didn't think their intelligence was being insulted, needs help standing upright.
