BroncoSojia Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I think the people that genuinely believe that the NFL is rigged should look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (or incompetence)" The most reasonable explanation is that the refs are human and flawed. Just like QBs and WRs miss easy throws and drop passes, refs sometimes miss easy calls. Edited February 2, 2023 by BroncoSojia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Lol...PFT and the whole macrodosing pod (which is actually a funny/entertaining listen every week) were doing a bit. I don't expect everyone to know that if you don't listen, but it was a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greene N White Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I mean the NFL isn't scripted to the point where every single player and coach is in on it but you're delusional if you don't think that games are skewed in a certain team's favor to create storylines/ratings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
