Why did your school give this man a degree? Can they revoke it?
The Chiefs/Lions game was a joke. Get in bed w/ gambling and here is your result.
If torture data long enough you can make it say anything.

You cannot base the study on frequency of penalties alone.
Many years ago, late-Shula era, the Dolphins were consistently the least penalized team. The Raiders were consistently the most or near the most. The Raiders won championships and the Dolphins were simply above average (due to Marino and Shula). The Raiders earned the penalties, the Dolphins had the discipline NOT to earn them. It wasn’t enough to change the outcome that much.
I say this as a Rams fan who is convinced that the refs blew it in the 2001 season Super Bowl as they purposely let a LOT of defensive holds go (Rams-Patriots) to maintain game flow, and Belichik was happy to cash in by holding Holt and Bruce.
U Texas at El Paso. The poly sci dept, things must be slow there.
The league has no financial pressure for the Chiefs to succeed. The league really doesn’t care who wins. It just doesn’t matter. If they had teams to favor it would be the BIG teams with large national audiences. Like the Cowboys. A smallish market midwestern team has no financial plus side. Other than they play really fun football. Good coaches teach their teams how to not get penalties, and also how to draw penalties. There are tricks in every trade.
Even over the eagles and their constant false starts on the “tush push?”
The game between the Chiefs and Lions had zero penalties called against the Chiefs. That compares to analyst’s who say virtually every football play has some type of penalty committed.
My kid has the same opinion as the study results. Swears they’re being helped.
After the three super bowls Dallas won I believe jones made a deal to make Dallas the permanent Charlie Brown vs Lucy of nfl football.
There is no way the most expensive sports franchise on the planet can go 30 years without even an NFC championship without some deal. Cowboys are heavily penalized. Similarly SMU was the most penalized team in college football after they bought their way into the ACC. Andy yes ideology is also part of it.
Had occasion to watch Monday nights game Bears vs. woke Redskins. There were some strange calls going against the Bears at crucial times. It was the first football game I’ve watched in years, and after that spectacle I was reminded why that is. Won’t be watching again.
Its called gambling..games,even plays are fixed..or does no one remember the seahawk giving the “up” sign to the defensive guy so the seahawk player could dive under him and score a td.
