I know I will get grief for what I am about to say: This year I watched every playoff game, as I had stepped on a nail while trapping and could only mostly sit around for the last 3 weeks while it healed. Watching all the games it became clear to me that the NFL, through the use of penalties (called and not called) by the officials pretty much picks the winners of each game. They give the big name players (and thus better TV ratings and endorsements) huge advantages. Not only players but teams with a larger national fan base get the advantages. Did anybody think the Titans would be allowed to beat KC? And if KC is the NFL's pick for one superbowl team, you think they want another mid-west team (Green Bay) for the other? How many people live in Wisconsin vs how many live in California. The NFL is big business and these are business decisions, plain and simple. OK, now you can hate me. Eric So how did San Fran receive "preferential" treatment yesterday. They literally dominated Green Bay.

^^^ I really do believe there is some truth to all that. I think through the year the refs can dictate and do, to help the NFL big business work for them. The right teams need to be involved at the end for sale etc.. To many bad call and game changing call through the regular season to not beleive there is a pattern for a few to not be there at the end. Too much money involved for the NFL to not be in control.

Not to pick on Arron, but the one year his team one the Superbowl it was because of this: "The Packers defense ranked second in the league in fewest points allowed per game (15). "

Eric So how did San Fran receive "preferential" treatment yesterday. They literally dominated Green Bay. I agree that they dominated Green Bay. But, in the first half all the penalties were given to Green Bay, none to the 49ers. The 49ers only started getting penalties when the game was well in hand for them. With that being said, there was no doubt the 49ers were the better team and deserved to win.

The Titans beat the Patriots and the Vikings beat the Saints in the playoffs. It seems if the games are fixed, it would have been the other way around. The Saints may be preferred over the Vikings but the Twin Cities is twice if not 3 times the market as New Orleans is. There are more people in the twin cities than the whole state of LA.

Nine pages and counting lol. I gotta say having an NFL team in small-town USA is pretty cool. Green Bay is a fun town on a Packer Sunday. I've had some cool memories at Lambeau Field as a Packer fan. I've seen almost every NFL team play. Only a few left to go. I even got to spend 9 months working on the redevelopment of the stadium in 2001. I was a sheet metal worker at the time and had a part in hanging almost all the green panels on the stadium and some other things as well. I signed my name along with hundreds of other workers on a steel beam thats painted yellow which currently hangs on the North east side of the main concourse. It's been a fun year and looking forward to next year. GO PACK GO!!!
