I don't know if this will be a continuous entry or not, but I added the "Volume" to the title just in case. Basically, I will just rant about what I think is really going on in the NFL.
1. Jeff Fisher is the next Pete Rose.
He was definitely betting on his team last night against the Indianapolis Colts. As a back story to this entry, the Colts were favored by 3 to 5 points depending on where you bet. How about we just say that the point spread was 4.5 points? Is that good enough? I think so.
Fisher totally threw the game to cover the spread. With 30 seconds left, the Titans were down 9 points and had the ball inside the 30 yard line. Only one time-out remaining. The idiots in the booth (including the franchise kamikaze - Matt Millen) all stated that they must score twice to win this game. Thanks for pointing out the obvious! No wait...it appears that the Titans will line up for the 4 point conversion! So, the Titans should of kicked the field goal with 30 seconds left. Down by 6, they would of also needed a properly executed onside kick and a hail mary TD. Yes, the odds were definitely stacked against them no matter what they did. However, what DID happen gave them NO chance to win. Instead of trying to get a touchdown on the next play....they threw a 5 yard pass. Hurried up...threw another 5 yard pass. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Kerry Collins throws a 3 yard TD. You are now within 2 points of the Colts! Good job. Oh, what? There is no time remaining??? Wait, you mean the game is over??? Ah, shucks. I guess it is time to just cash out....errr... I mean hit the showers.
Good job, Fisher. You never tried to win the game. Only cover the effing spread.
This is just the beginning. There will be more conspiracies to uncover. Keep a lookout!
