RP does this to himself every offseason. He predicts big block buster trades or free agent signings. It never happens, but he enjoys the fact it could happen

There is not 100% certainty on anything, certainty not how a player will perform with a new team. There are lots of examples. Haynesworth wasn't a trade, but a great example of a once great player not coming close to expectations with Washington. How do you think the browns feel about that Watson trade? 100% certainty doesn't exist anywhere in life

There isn't a 100% certainty with trading for elite talent. Also, most teams don't trade away cheap talent for a single mid first round player. Then the team getting the elite player has to sign them to a huge contract. So trade away multiple picks and sign them to a huge contract. I'm not saying it can't happen, but I think Ballard stays at 15. He may move up or down a few picks, but I don't see him trading for an established vet.

Folks that belive its rigged will never listen to reason. They ignore the obvious @LJpalmbeacher2 and @Yoshinator

A rogue ref is a thing I could say is plausible. The league it's self predeterming outcomes is absolute nonsense. They have no reason to. And if they were, I'm pretty sure vegas would know about it and not take the action. Small brain folks will always assume the nonsense. The leagues have no reason to cheat. They make barrels of money no matter what happens

It doesn't say he bet against JT. He may have, but it doesn't say he did

He claimed a lot of things trying to save his own skin. The US government investigation lasted quite awhile. Nothing could be corroborated. The leagues are sitting on goldmines. There is no reason to put it at risk

Other than Tim Donaghy, what was rigged in the NBA? Donaghy did prison time by the way

No, Brian Flores and Hue Jackson both backtracked when pressed for evidence. Dwight Smith did say they know what the Raiders plays were. Odd the Raiders scored 21 points. Let me know when any fired GM or ref comes forward with any evidence. Are you really so naive to think vegas would put action on predetermined outcomes? Get real Also I'm guessing Jim Kelly would have a beef after losing 4 straight superbowls. Also guessing Jerry Jones and his billions would have a superbowl in the last 30 years. Keep that tin foil hat tight though

Don't you find it odd you and Moose get the most pushback on terrible takes? Most people might take a step back and reevaluate

I could make up anything and say there is no evidence the claim is 100 percent false. Usually claims come from some kind of credible source.

I never cared about your sports bets. I wanted to bet against you. You were scared and dreamt up the nonsense I wanted to steal your picks. Obviously nonsense. I do just fine on my own . You should win every pick if it's all rigged

No. It doesn't add up at all. After that draft and firing Pagano and monachino the draft prospects haven't looked like Legion of Boom type players. You can't back up your pal at all

Because you have nothing. The idea that sports are rigged and Vegas would have to be involved is complete lunacy. You spew nonsense and act like those that know it's nonsense are the dumb ones.

Not one credible person... on earth... in the milky way....

Pagano wanted Hooker to play the role of Ed Reed in the Ravens defense. He and monachino ran a 3-4 defense. Nothing like the Seattle d at all. You and Moose can live in delusion if you like, but nothing supports it

Why does it matter? You think it's all rigged?

Chuck Pagano was the Head Coach and Ted Monachino was the DC when Hooker was drafted. Dodds was hired after that. Kind of puts a wrinkle in you and Mooses theory

He doesn't own any of the Raiders yet. The owners have to vote

Something tells me you won't. But we can hope

Neither. I don't post on absolutes. It's silly. Saying you know a players projection without watching them practice is nonsense. You can say, I haven't seen much or something to that extent. I think you are one of the best posters here. My post I quoted of yours was just frustration of many similar posts. People project a player with almost zero information. I don't understand it.

Hopkins had double the targets

It's funny you say Pierce has a ceiling of a WR2 and there is no doubt about that. I'm guessing you have never watched him in practice. It's odd you came to that absolute conclusion

Yeah. I get where you are coming from, and I agree to a point. A PI call or non call late can absolutely effect the outcome of a game. But to say the NFL scripted it is nonsense. Refs are human and things happen fast. That's why I think they should rely on the technology available to determine if the ref gets it right or not. I know you're not a tin foil hat guy
