If I kick off...

I have been reluctant to write this because I'm afraid of the controversy it would cause, and the potential backlash from the powers that be, but I find myself at the point of the evening where, if I don't procrastinate, I might end up doing some work. So so be it. That being said, I am ready to blow the lid off of this whole thing.

I think, no, I dare say, I believe, or even, I believe I think, that the entire of the NFL is one big put on.

There, I said it.

A put on. It isn't real. it is to soccer what television wrestling is to the Olympic wrestling. It is a mock up of a sham, foisted on the unknowing masses and ignorant slobs who refuse to suspect that this can't be true, and who let blind acceptance rule them for 5 months out of the year. Games are scripted and fairly well rehearsed and American and the world are allowed to root for the good guys, buy the bad boys and get that vicarious catharsis that all good, mindless entertainment provides. Some explosions, some violence, a couple of beer commercials, and I'm good to go.

All fake. All Hollywood. Florida, maybe, but Hollywood nonetheless.

You are probably wondering about my evidence and don't you worry yourself any -- I've got that in spades. Its started when I was a boy, watching the gladiators of Sunday afternoon play. First, I noticed that when the going got tough, strategic players got "hurt" and had to leave the game. Ships abandoning the sinking ship to avoid future injury. They all came back next week, rested and healed. I notice that football players can recover from injury a lot faster than humans. Last week, I saw a quarterback have his ankle turned in a direction which I couldn't find in a 3-D space. I was convinced that MY ankle got snapped. Stunned silence -- I stared at the screen, wincing as I watched repeated replays through slightly splayed fingers. Cut to commercial. Return in 2 minutes and he has miraculously walked off the field. Not possible. I know what I saw. The man had no functional ankle left. Don't tell me that he walked off on his own. There isn't that much adrenaline in a bull elephant. Or an elephant bull. No sir.

I was watching a game and I noticed a few other things -- first is the easy one: calls made by referees that seem capricious and illogical. A penalty here, a judgement call there. Each team has felt the sting at some point or another. Even the announcers occasionally fail to understand. How could that have NOT been flagged? How could they whistle that dead? I saw a fumble recovery for a touchdown called back, but not because it wasn't a fumble. It was called back because, well, just because. The script, it seems, didn't have a touchdown set for that moment. Back to position A, kids. Let's film the big dance scene next.

Next up, replays. You watch the play and it moves unnaturally quickly. A violent ballet of 22 men in tights who swivel, pivot and good naturedly throw each other to the ground and threaten each others' families. The play ends and somehow, in the span of 2 seconds, some color commentator guy (a naming vestige of a cruder time...we should work on that) accurately names the 3 players who moved in some strangely synchronized set of movements to allow the play to develop, and the camera just happened to have exactly that vantage point diagrammed and cued up. Nuh uh. No way he could have seen that, identified the players, gotten the precise moment ready for a replay and a perfectly suited explanation timed to the second. I have seen referees struggle to identify a player and they are RIGHT THERE. You can't tell me that some guy in a booth can track all 22 players and identify, with no notice, which combination of hulking, falling figures, did the one thing which allowed a guy to rumble through a mass of bodies. It can't be done. They must know the plays in advance, and have the cameras all ready to track where the ball WILL be.

And another thing -- when I watch the game, no matter where I am (so no matter what the local game is) they all seem to cut to the exact same halftime show at precisely the right moment. If that halftime show (5 guys exchanging witty banter, never stepping on each others' lines or toes, with exactly the right amount to say about each game to get you back to the action right at kick off? Not a chance that that isn't pre-recorded) is the same one people from all markets watch, then how can they all finish the first half at exactly the same time? At the end of the game, when coverage shifts to the ending of another game, the announcers say "we welcome those of you who were watching X". But at halftime, there is no welcoming staggered audiences. So I vote "fake."

More about half time. This past weekend, before they threw the coverage to their canned "recap" for half time, the two actors pretending to watch a football game chatted about the game. This was, and I'm not making this up, at the half time of a fairly large game. Here is the picture:

Tell me if you notice anything. Remember -- this is during the game. I notice a whole heckuvalot of empty seats, even though the stadium was full for the game. Do 90% of the people go to the bathroom at the same time? Clearly, this is a little Capricorn One action. The discussion was recorded well before people got there and the game was played. Just all lies and we, the sheep, eat it all up.

Look, I know that there are plenty of good conspiracy theories out there, and I even believe a couple of them, But this one is mine. Sure, I think I could take this further and posit that the entire of existence is a Truman Show-esque joke played on me, but for now, I will simply risk life and limb by exposing the NFL cover-up. So if anything happens to me, blame pro football. The truth must be spoken aloud, people!

MAJOR EDIT!
It is a few weeks later (Oct 6) and I was just watching a game between Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Overtime. A ball was dropped and took an odd bounce. The commentator guy made a statement which repeated 3 times and quickly cut off, as if an audio file has looped! PRE-RECORDED! MORE PROOF that the whole thing is a major scam. Watch the video -- other than replaying it off of my DVR which automatically records things, I have done NO editing to this. Listen to the audio and tell me that this doesn't prove that the whole thing is a put on!

Note -- I can't insert a playable video file so I'm putting a link to the file on my google drive.

Next edit!!

Dec 4, 2022. I am watching the Dallas vs. Colts game on SNF and I also looked at the news and saw this (the game started at 8:30 ish and it is now almost half-time, 9:48):

Note the time on the bottom right corner, 9:46. Note the time on the byline for

the article -- 3 hours ago, or approx 6:45 PM for a game that started at 8:30.

Somehow, they knew that, almost 2 hours before the game started, the Cowboys would lead. FAKERS!
