The league’s voice with the largest reach is insinuating the league both influences games via refereeing AND favors one team specifically. It’s not a cute little joke. That would be the biggest sports scandal ever, especially with everything being tied to gambling these days.
Now, folks, lead by disingenuous media members, are clinging to this crazy idea that a well coached, veteran, champion team avoiding penalties in the *postseason* is somehow EVIDENCE of a league wide conspiracy!
But when asked to provide the playoff game that the Chiefs won thanks to the ref they come up with… what?
An obvious hold in the Super Bowl that the defensive player said after the game, and I quote, “"It was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide."
An obvious roughing the passer penalty in AFCCG that the defensive player said, and I quote, “I didn’t know how far out of bounds we were.”
Or an unnecessary roughness call in the 3rd quarter of a game KC was winning that turned 2nd & 6 into a 1st down?
It’s all fever dream nonsense, lead by angry fans on social media & media members who have proudly tripled down on horrendous Chiefs takes that now feel boxed in by their continued excellence. That’s all.
JJ Redick on the 3s and NBA ratings discourse, parity, talent in the game today vs yesterday, and people paying too much attention to what is said on Twitter
It's funny that he starts his answer with "I'll try to be brief here" and then speaks for 4 minutes
