???!!! $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! NO ONE will debate the point that the Bucs
were flat out robbed because everyone *knows* that was a catch! I welcome
anyone to defend the POV that that catch was in some way not a catch, but
if not the only conclusion is graft and no one cares.
If I lived in Tampa Bay I'd be loading up the shot guns and planning a road
trip about now....;-)
