I do believe there are certainly nefarious influences in pro sports. Boxing is the worst, followed by NBA. But it does exist in football as well. There are a number of books on the subject.

Fortunately our team has a large, profitable fan base, so it does play to our advantage to some degree. I also do think it is possible to beat the other team AND the officials. I don't think the Steelers were supposed to make it to the SB the year they played the Seahawks, but once they got there they were "favored" by the officials. IMO

I think after that last fiasco against Detroit, there was no way they could hand another game to Dallas. Too many people were calling bullshit.

But Dallas does have a major, profitable fan base.

I agree the way the flags seemed to go against us most of the game. Turning a blind eye to the Calvin Johnson rule would have added to the negativity the league suffered last week.

The league no doubt would love Dallas in the Superbowl, but Green Bay doesn't hurt them that much when it comes to fan appeal and ratings.

I Its hard to believe stuff like that isn't scripted. Then you look at society today and figure its not so hard to believe.


Note to the gun lobby before you jump all over me, I don't think buying an AK47 necessarily makes you a nut job Personally I don't see it but hey, whatever floats your boat. Its just that this caller has TOTALLY bought this Jones idiot's line. "I was like "I saw the light man, no more football for me I'm gonna buy lots of guns and wait for the revolution. Just tell me what to do next Mr. Jones"

I think the Cowboys shit themselves pretty good yesterday. Dallas' botched play calling right before halftime was a ten point swing as far as I'm concerned, and Demarco Murray's fumble was the key turning point. Nerd, sometime's it's good to be on the other side of the self shitting.

BTW, our defense has improved, but it isn't championship material yet.

Not only because of the potential 10 point swing but because of the vibe in the locker room at halftime.
