Conspiracy Theory around SB 30 and 40

[Wes Mantooth]

Was thinking about this the other night. The last time the Steelers were in the Superbowl, they could have had a great shot at blowing the Cowboys out if Neil O'Donnel hadn't thrown all those pics. If you go back and watch the game, there was NO ONE near the ball except the defender.

I remember thinking that game was rigged. My joke was that Neil O. had been paid off to throw the game and win it for The Boys. Still The Steelers came back several times and almost pulled that one out.

My theory is this (though very far fetched): Could SB 40 have been a makeup game for Cowher? Could The league have felt so bad for the guy that his QB from 10 years ago threw the game that they ensured they would win this one?

If you think the refs fixed this last one, why would it have been so far fetched to think that 96 was fixed?

I like to think I am reasonable most of the time, but I could not get rid of this little idea in my head and was wanting to spin it off you guys.

No, I don't believe it was rigged, just botched.

If the league ever actually rigged a Super Bowl and it got out, the NFL would be ruined.

LOL! I take it all back...
Maybe the refs called a bad game so they could become full time and get a pension.

Jerramy Stevens had a lousy day. Ben Roethlisberger had a worse than lousy day. Palamalu and Porter weren't all that, either. The safety for the Hawks (what's his name, anyway?) suffered a brain fart on Parker's record setting run. It might have been a 15 yarder if the last man hadn't closed in on the wrong lane. Holmgren ran out the clock in the first half because he was pissed at a call. A whole bunch of guys who are capable of doing a better job laid a smoking turd in front of a worldwide audience.

Even the NFL's "all star" officials aren't immune from having a bad outing.

I'll stick with the idea that the zebras folded under pressure until someone can show me hard evidence that they meant to determine the outcome on the scoreboard.

Super Bowl XL wasn't fixed. NASA actually landed on the moon. WTC 7 wasn't a controlled demolition. A hijacked passenger jet hit the Pentagon. The Diebold machines weren't rigged. And the intelligence on Iraq was simply based on flawed assumptions.

(Okay, so I'm not entirely convinced that the last one is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Sue me.)

I'm pretty sure the Warren Commission's lying though. :poke:

Good post. Even thought the players and coaches are far from perfect in their execution, we expect the referees to perform with machinelike efficiency and never miss a call.

Now the damned replay fans want to expand their scope to pass interference penalties and God knows what else.

Neil O'Donnell was paid off by the Boys.

Those INTs were just horrendous.

I knew someone would agree with me there!! This strengthens my SB 40 fixed argument: League feels sorry for Cowher being such a class guy and getting screwed by O'Donnel getting paid off that they ensure he wins this one.
