I've heralded Peyton's ball placement, something you cant script. Its like scripting a Shawn Michaels match and subbing Hogan in for Shawn. The match changes.
Peyton's wins and losses could very well be part of the show though. If someone told me Grossman was in on the fix I'd have no problem accepting that.
I'm not a hypocrite. I'll never try to have my cake and eat it too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in on Vegas making their nut. But there's no way players & coaches are in on that & it's not scripted.
Like in the NBA, if there is an Over/Under that Vegas wans to go under, the referees will call the call the game a specific way to reduce scoring if they can; no doubt in my mind about that. Or you'll see some shady ass shit when the spread of a game is 7.5 & the dog is down 12 with a minute to go.
But there's no way in the world some guy is telling a James Harden, "hey bud, you need to chill out tonight, miss some shots, we need the game under 204" or "you need to lose".
Me & my friends did use to joke though that LeBron was in on it & got a cut from Vegas when the money was overwhelmingly on him & he rolled over lmao.

PLAYERS CAN JUST AS EASILY BE IN ON A FIX...IT'S NOT SOMETHING NEW

No way would the league trust a kid to keep a secret that would destroy trillion dollar industries.
Players in the NBA can't get fouled without overreacting.
