SoFlaJets Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 If this is what it comes down to? A half million dollars of stolen money as a fine and no suspension? Sorry, I'll watch with a glancing interest but nothing more...I've done it before and can surely do it again-screw it-if I now have to KNOW the games are fixed-why even watch? Why spend my money on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjetsjetsjets Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I feel the same way, I'm quite sad about it actually. I have always spent so much time living, breathing, watching and paying attention to the jets and the nfl. I have no idea what I would do with that time, but if the nfl doesn't take this seriously enough , I don't really have a choice. sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if that's what happens, I think I'll just have to take a big step back from the NFL and my beloved Jets too. Why invest all this time and emotion and money on something that's not even legitimate. I'll be a bandwagon fan should the Jets get really good but otherwise it'll be no different than professional wrestling to me......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I can understand this mentality, and I really think you need to write to Goodell and some reporters so that they know how serious of an issue it is to you. Then maybe these corporate soulless creatures would understand that you don't just watch the bottom line, but that integrity is huge to fans.

4HCrew Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Interesting thoughts guys...first baseball and the nonsense, the NBA and the refs, hell hockey had some issues that have been ignored, even european soccer had a huge gambling scandal.. It does kind of suck when you think you are watching something pure to only get jilted. I never thought it would be this type of scandal in the NFL, always thought it would be the ref thing as well. Hey you never know that could be next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Everyone and their mamas knows that pro sports games are fixed, to some degree at least. Umpires, referees, sometimes they try to fix a game and the team that deserves to win really does win desoite an attempted fix. But sometimes the team that doesnt deserve to win really wins because of a fix. You just hope that they fix it for your team one of these years when your team is good enough to the point where you make it deep into the playoffs and you need a call to go your way, you get it.

PFSIKH Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Sorry, I don't live for watching a bunch of cheats, I lived for watching a sport, something that the nfl must not want to be anymore. What sport don't they cheat at? Whether your head was buried in the sand, most of the professional sports leagues are billion dollar businesses, save the NHL. Owners, GMs, Coaches and Players earn millions of dollars and their lively hood depends on it. Yes, we all could easily live on a year of Tom Brady's salary for the rest of our lives. However, as moronic as Patrick Ewing sounded during the NBA Strike it is kind of true. "We make alot of money so we spend alot money." THink an owner, GM, coach or player wants to one day be knocked down to our level? Hell no. The stuff you see in sports is the same shady $hit you see in the regular business world. Only happens in a different environment with millions watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
