Well, ya, it's rigged. But so what?
Look, even the WWF is rigged, but it is still true that:
- being a WWF participant requires a great deal of skill. Falling HURTS
if you don't do it right.
- it's a gateway to even MORE rigged things. Name me an NFL personality
that went on to being a governor of a state. (US senate doesn't count
;-) Jack Kemp went on to that office out of the NFL, and Bill Bradley,
of course, went on to that office out of the NBA)
Look, if you want to have a debate, you have to say something
CONTROVERSIAL. Read some of my posts if you're not sure how to set off
flame wars. I think in terms of flamage generated by others per word
typed I have got most of you guys beat.

| (...) ???!!! $1,000,000 of legal bets are placed on the NFL each week, and you're saying "so what, it's rigged"?? Last time I checked that was illegal. (...) But that's exactly my point!
