There is another side to this...One would have to be completely naive not to think some seedy people threaten people over those games. Maybe not everyone. Maybe not often. But I have no doubt threats are made
I wondered if the Lions referees were just that bad...or were they paid off..threatened..etc.
One of the stock people I see on twitter posts big bets by the stock market people..and big bets in sports. I bet on an Indiana game because of “duffel boy” bet. A big $5.00.
It’s a guy who goes into Vegas and makes bets with duffels full of money.
Thought the same thing. With the huge amount of money gambled and so much at stake, its not beyond the realm to wonder if the refs are compromised. That line from the movie “Casino” about “crooked fookin zebras” comes to mind. Hard to explain some of those calls in NFL games.
