The only evidence that can be seen by your post is, you like to bend the info into what you what it to be.
Hey the claw...here is a New York Times article stating that the NFL officials erred in overturning Polamalu's interception. Here is the link though I know that truth means very little to you:
https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/17/sports/pro-football-leagues-review-call-reversal-wrong.html
The National Football League admitted yesterday that officials erred Sunday when they overturned an interception by Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' 21-18 divisional playoff victory at Indianapolis.
The N.F.L.'s vice president for officiating, Mike Pereira, saw it differently:
"The definition of a catch -- or in this case an interception -- states that in the process of making the catch, a player must maintain possession of the ball after he contacts the ground," he said in a statement. "The initial call on the field was that Troy Polamalu intercepted the pass because he maintained possession of the ball after hitting the ground. The replay showed that Polamalu had rolled over and was rising to his feet when the ball came loose. He maintained possession long enough to establish a catch. Therefore, the replay review should have upheld the call on the field that it was a catch and fumble."
It is not evidence of fixed games . What your saying is the refs waited untill Colts got behind 21-10 with only 5:26 left in the game before deciding to help the Colts , does not make any sense especially since Steelers had only 2 penalties for 8 yards while Colts had 9 for 67 yards.
If the refs were trying to fix this game the evidence says they are horrendous at it.
Your seeing only whsat you want to see because a guy on youtube posted a video to convince you it is true by bending the storyline into it.
When you look at the catch rule, says AFTER contacting the ground, how do you define AFTER.
Is it 1 second after, 2 seconds, is it after he rolls over is it after he contacts the ground then no longer contacts the ground ?
The ref in the video says his knee was on the ground when ball came loose, he defines the catch as AFTER he contacts the ground and then no longer is contacting the ground.
What the youtube video does not tell us is how did that same ref call other similar catches in the paST, VERY VALUABLE INFO TO KNOW if we are to determine if he called this catch far different.
If he is consistent then nothing to see here at all.
Unless you have that info and all the info not just plays that fit what the youtube guy wants to say .
But even if it is a bad call, even with a bad call the evidence still does not support the fix was in unless the refs are horrendously bad at fixing games or have very little influence to fix a game and that I definately don't believe, if a ref wants Colts to win the Colts will win, end of the story.
Refs could call off line for holding on almost every play and def backs for holding which is 5 yards and automatic 1st down or PI on almost every play if they wanted to yet despite this they let Steelers build a 21-10 lead with 5:26 left while calling only 2 penalties on Pitt with 9 on the team they supposedly want to help makes zero logical sense Lancer.
But if the youtube video guys leaves that info out sure makes his case look better . Anything he can do to make it look as good as he can to convince people it is true.
As far as league wanting P Manning to win coz he is the poster boy for NFL.
P Manning has the most 1 and dones in playoffs then any QB in league history.
Once again, if the refs are trying to help him win , my goodness Lancer they must really be horrendous at it, I mean really bad OR they have very little influence to do so.
The evidence does not support the refs tried to help P Manning win , it is just not there, one really needs to be grasping for straws to make the evidence fit.
One can make evidence fit almost anything if you try hard enough and leave out other things my not make your storyline fit.
I've read the last few yrs. posts since the 1st. Fella's it is NOT SCRIPTED. + NFL Being legally able as WWF is to rig any outcome the 32 owners want. They do and they shall and shall again..Do not fade the Globetrotters! hahahaha..
