This is getting spicy.

What's next... is Caldwell going to come out and say he was paid more to lose games with the Lions? Is it just the historically bad teams that are paying coaches of color money to lose?

Something isn't adding up for me. Have the Cowboys been paying coaches for the same thing...

The moment the Chiefs ran Palko out on the field it was obvious they were tanking games.

It was deeper than that.

Haley wanted Hasselbeck.

Pilot didn't want anyone that could possibly unseat Cassel...so Pioli gave Haley Palko as the backup.

So Haley IRed Cassel and made Palko the starter.

At this point we need some on defense to crawl up to the crossbar on the goalpost and drop an elbow on a running back at the goal line, or start hitting players with steel chairs. Go full ECW on the field.

Hue Jackson would have made serious money with the Browns.

No such animal.

The NFL doesn't even pretend to have legitimate sporting contests and have said as much to the Supreme Court.

You're essentially betting on the Royal Rumble.

For instance. I'm well aware that the house has a slight edge when I'm playing Blackjack. I know that the odds are against me and I choose to play anyway. That's a risk. Now if the house is manipulating the deck or rigging the game further to ensure the dealer always wins, that goes beyond risk and into illegal activity.

If I bet on an NFL game that is presented as a legitimate sporting contest, I know I might lose. That's a risk. If the game being played was intentionally rigged without my knowledge though, that's illegal. I didn't have extremely relevant information when my action was taken.

I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure a good lawyer would rip your "risk" argument to pieces.

I didn’t read this but you should never post here again :-)

That's probably why he can say whatever he wants now - he doesn't give a shit.

Where is the Colts fan that still to this day says the Colts didn't tank for Luck.

That's some amazing mental gymnastics. Your head has to be far up your ass to believe that.

I mean, he got his coaching salary + whatever Haslam kicked him down for going 0-16, and all he had to do was show up and talk to the media in between YouTube and pornhubs.
