I've often wondered, how do we know that sports like the NFL aren't staged, while professional wrestling is? Why can't a game like professional football be scripted. My ideas on why this is so are rather nebulous and unformed (like all my other ideas, says Kevin), but they center around something having to do with chaos and skill. You can choreograph the movement two people will make each other in a ring. It's much harder to control, say, exactly where a ball will go when it's flying 43 yards downfield with a couple of people underneath it.

The video was hilarious by the way. I laughed out loud a couple of times. Scripting games for the NFL would be a gig I'd kill for!

Well did anyone see the Steeler vs Browns game when the Steelers went for it and they came up short. They showed the measurement on tv and the others were even shocked, it was a full 2 links short but they gave them the first. I'll look for video of it when i get home.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Maybe the Packers have been scripted in this season to take a flurry of punches early.. look like the offensive line is going to cause them to lose the match.. only to come back with the "energy" of the "Cheeseamanics" to come back and win the title.. WWF style..

BTW.. with the level of officiating and the number of lop sided calls in certain games.. I think there are definitely some questions that could be asked.

I think a former player came out, and as a joke, did a complete interview with a podcast saying everything is scripted.

I believe a former star RB from the Texans, but he later came out and said that was a prank and didn't think so many would take it serious.

I don't think they could keep players quiet and probably not coaches, we are seeing more and more coaches lawsuits, so I don't think it's scripted, maybe refs try to keep game close, but not totally scripted as in whom wins and loses.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
