the refs work for the NFL....IMO the NFL is much like a story book at times....we have a tragedy with 9/11 and who wins that SB? A team that carries red/white/blue in their colors....allowing a country to see those colors come from the sky after the pats win....which actually IMO was a screw by the refs against the raiders with that all of a sudden fumble/tuck rule....
Go forward to the year of the tragedy of Katrina....who wins that SB....yes the saints to make the people of NO have something to cheer about and yet again an attempt to make the country whole...
The media, the NFL will play Chucky to the hilt in his return and it's against a young person he mentored....Looks like a perfect setup for the NFL to possibly generate an ending they would have great stories about for that opening week going into week 2. I could be wrong and the story line will be the mentor has been passed..or some such thing as that.
Basically I am saying the NFL controls outcomes at times...I am not an insider to say who gives the thumbs up or down....Just simply a feeling I have about the game in recent years....You at times go off on your karma stuff....so I hope you see where I am coming from with my feelings.
