I will say this. Since I stopped watching decades ago, there have been times where I saw short segments of games and commentary. It was all very different and seemed highly contrived. To people who never stopped watching maybe that's less obvious because the changes came on slowly. But to me it was like, WTH happened?

Folks will be shocked when they learn the truth about pro sports not to mention everything else in this world we’ve been lied to about.

That interference call did not lose the game for the Eagles I admit but did cost them a chance to tie or win like I have said. To many mistakes by the Eagles plain and simple sunk the Eagles not to mention the defense did not show up in that game. The playing field was complete disaster, who maintained that quicksand field? Next time the NFL needs to hire someone from the PGA to maintain their fields. In the end it was a very entertaining game and Mahomes deserves a lot of credit for playing with that high ankle sprain. There are not many people who could play to the level he did with that kind of injury. Anyone saying I have had an ankle sprain before and gutted through it. A high ankle sprain is much worse then a lateral ligament sprain.
Anyone who has ever played a team sport knows what it is like to compete as a team. One of my favorite high school coaches required reading was from Roosevelt
Man in the Arena
Quote:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Is it still a conspiracy theory when the players themselves admit it?

I get plenty of enjoyment out of life actually living it...tinkering and cruising in my cars, working on and around the house and shop, playing around in the yard and garden on my 3.4 acre lot, playing around with my 4 legged companions, and visiting with family and friends. Better than watching scripted breads and circuses for $$ and a diversion of attention on what's really important in life. It really is amazing how much peoples lives revolve around the idiot box and how much they believe it's true.

Go out there and experience life before you get too old to enjoy it rather than sitting around and watching fantasy delusions with corrupt agendas for the sole purpose of making obscene amounts of money.

Seeing I was for Kansas City I'm on the poop list around here. I don't watch sports because of the amount of money players get that they don't deserve and the exorbitant amount of money to go and see a game. I don't like the Eagles at all, so I go with the underdog. But I did take a look in the first half when KC was ahead and watched the last 10 minutes when they won.

Then after the game all I heard was excuses as to why the Eagles didn't win. Really? In my book they didn't deserve to win and blew all by themselves.
