because the NFL wants Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl…”
Well, if she wants to go to the Super Bowl, she can fork over the dough for a ticket. Heck, she can even bring her boyfriend.

But in gambling control is bad, because you can’t rig a game without too many people finding out. Which is going to get too much money going the wrong way. The path of greed for a casino is to let chance do its thing. All the odds, and lines and everything else are all set to make sure that no matter what happens, so long as it’s random, the house wins.

You're NOT taking into account those that are possessed by GREED and CONTROL could care LESS about "random" odds. They're ONLY motivation is getting what they want when THEY want it.

Your premise can be DISCUSSED by ethical people... but, DO NOT expect those possessed by GREED and CONTROL to give a whit about your POV on random odds. Their interest is in making LARGE amounts of MONEY as QUICKLY and EASILY as POSSIBLE when the opportunity to do so presents itself. For them it can't happen fast enough or soon enough... if people like that DIDN'T EXIST we wouldn't need to have courts and jails!

The world contains far, far too many individuals who think what you're saying is for "suckers".. they can't WAIT.. they want it NOW! I'm NOT disparaging your POV... only reminding you that your POV is not one subscribed to by everyone!

For God sake.. a perfect example is our "OUT of CONTROL" Government... once again, far, far too many individuals are enriching themselves by ripping it from the system funded by you and I the TAXPAYER.

Dude. Stop shouting.

Meanwhile, out here in reality, there’s been plenty of discussion in the sports book crowd. They hate fixing of the game. It just screws them up. They’re the ones that get screwed my fixing a game.

Now really, if your next message is all bold and shouty I’m ignoring it. And bozo filing you. Learn to use your indoor fonts, the default, and stop being a shouty asshole.

Well THANKS! I KNEW there had to be a way to get rid of an IDIOT who is so caught up in his own SELF-IMPORTANCE and the burning desire to be "RIGHT" he becomes blinded.. I refer to someone like that as having the "Rightness Disease".. YES.. please do IGNORE ME!

And, by the way, your comment and stop being a shouty asshole tells me I struck a nerve because you made NO comment about my reply... only brought up a SUPERFICIAL issue and called me an asshole. Have a GOOD DAY clown!

Not a Swift fan and really don’t care if the cameras pan to her during games. Funny, it’s halftime and the Ravens are down 10. Camera panned to Swift a few times and once it appeared she was looking up at a monitor showing the game and seemed to say ‘leave me alone’. Go Chiefs!! Native Md’er and I despise the Ravens but gotta give them credit, great front office / coaching and always puts a good team on the field.

This is a good reason for Sports Illustrated to fail. Promoting a moronic conspiracy theory.

The Chiefs won due to (1) Mahomes-Kelce hook-ups, (2) horrible playcalling by the Ravens, (3) LJ taking waaaay to much time with the ball, and (4) undisciplined play (not just with the penalties.)

Watched the entire game yesterday and there was only one call that was remotely questionable, and it was against the Chiefs denying Travis Kelce what looked like a legitimate first down.

In the end, the Ravens sucked all on their own (although Lamar Jackson catching his own pass was pretty cool). No officiating shenanigans required.

Please the Ravens lost that game.. period.

Had multiple opportunities to win, and blew them… wasn’t officiating that cost them that game.

If Raven fans want to blame someone for the Ravens loss they need look no further than their team.
