Unfortunately this sounds believable. Officiating has been getting worse in college and the NFL.

Well, we'll know for certain if the Ravens win that the game was NOT rigged.

Anyhow, I'm rooting for the Chiefs!

So the NFC has no chance? Hmmm... Sounds good to me.

I hate Mahomes and Kelce as much as anybody but when you’re good, you’re good.

It will have nothing to do with Taylor Swift, the refs or Goodell. The Ravens are good, the Chiefs are better... The Niners and Detroit don’t stand a chance.

The Chiefs having games rigged on their behalf. It has nothing to do with her. They’ve been calling games for them since Mahommes showed up. Why? Who the hell knows given what nasty POSs his wife and brother are.

Hell, they probably shouldn’t be in the playoffs. At best they should have got a wild card slot as they should have lost at least 2 other games during the regular season. Most notably against the Jets with an absolute ridiculous pass interference call late in the game.

And they should have lost to the Eagles with at least one play their O-line had 3 holding infractions on one play.

My uncle had season tickets to an NFL team in the 1970s and 80s. Eventually, he gave them up. He always said the games were fixed. I used to laugh at him. Recently, I stopped laughing. I think he was right.

The NFL, he is suggesting, wants the Chiefs in the Super Bowl because the NFL wants Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.

Last Sunday's game against the Bills broke viewership records. This Sunday's game against the Ravens likely will as well. And a Chiefs/Whoever Superbowl with Taylor Swift, Cara Delevingne, all the wives, and a shirtless, drunken Jason Jason Kelce will be a ratings bonanza!!!!

There's no doubt the Swift-Kelce romance is driving ratings right now. People just like it. It makes people happy.

I think it's kinda cool myself. I like Swift. Kelce seems like a decent guy. It could be worse. At least she's not coupling up with some tattooed, scowling black rapper.

At least Taylor Swift getting knocked up by Travis Kelce will do wonders for the lagging white birth rate.

That this is even a topic of discussion speaks volumes to the depths the NFL has fallen.

The NFL is becoming fixed just like the WWE. It's easy, all the NFL has to do is to bribe the refs to "fix" the games.

I think gambling is the biggest influence on the NFL right now.

The pass interference no-call during the Saints-Rams 2018 NFCC game in the Superdome did it for me. Saints should have went on to the Superbowl. They had to sneak the refs out of town in New Orleans after the game. The fans wanted bloodshed against them.

It wouldn't be the first nor last time. On January 11, 1970, the Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Vikings was rigged to make sure the merger happened.

Well, the Super Bowl logo this year is red and purple for San Fran and Baltimore, if you believe the color theory.

Teams just have to win by an overwhelming margin that will make cheating obvious. Kind of like how Donald Trump needs to win the election. He has to win overwhelmingly so any cheating will be clear and obvious to everyone.

Stop believing that Sports are a Sport. Rather they are an Entertainment Venue and should be treated as such. Nothing more.

Once LEGALIZED GAMBLING became part of Sports MANY, MANY things CHANGED!

Like the Cyndi Lauper song from decades ago... "Money Changes Everything!"

I predict this will all disintegrate and Taylor Swift will suddenly be SO YESTERDAY (and become a thoroughly despised celebrity) and she will be blamed for destroying the NFL.

All glory is fleeting. When you become “bigger than big,” there is only one direction left...DOWN.

Michael Jackson was the biggest singing star in the universe, too, until suddenly, he wasn’t.

A fish rots from the head, down. This nation’s government is irredeemably corrupt, why shouldn’t everything else be the same?

I don't agree with this. Seems a bit too "conspiracy theory" to me.

I've liked the Chiefs since Super Bowl 1, but I don't think they have much of a chance against the Ravens.

It would be a huge blow to the NFL, and sports in general, if it came out that the refs had orders to call the game for one side or the other.

Referee Dick Woerhle will be looking the other way.
