Message: [QUOTE="Orangeman, post: 2895763, member: 972"] Agree and there’s two rubs to that argument: 1) this would be partly the REASON the league is worth so much...guaranteeing that the right teams are good and on TV for the networks to pay billions...I mean that’s like the entire income stream...the NBA does this just through a lack of salary cap, player movement, and yes institutionally favored refereeing for certain teams and players...Harden now, Jordan Kobe and James before 2). Ironically the greater and more valuable the conspiracy, the most unlikely it would be, the greater chance those involved are less likely to break it. The ratings were down for this game already, you think CBS wouldn’t have a message if it was Buffalo was Arizona? [/QUOTE]
