You must remember, that was a huge market against a small market. It is not team against team. Saints are a small market. LA is well LA. It is one of the biggest markets in the world with very little interest by the locals currently. LA getting to the super bowl helps promote football in LA to increases revenue.
While the game was not "fixed", with the referees help, it was manipulated. A call or no call here or there and momentum is changed by the zebras.
Make no mistake, in this billion dollar industry, this was all about money and markets.
With all that said, I am still pissed!
But what do I know, I am just a dumb coonass working in the oilfield, right?
