like i said, just my opinion & i know its "crazy" but it's proven that at least one ref was managing games for his own financial gain...so david stern or not, it is possible
i dont think they do it w/ all the games but important ones..managing playoff series - maybe not every game in that series but enough to matter
certain teams make the league more money, so they make sure that it'll happen
lakers/kings western conference finals a few years back was really bad (no way they missed certain things on accident) nets/spurs finals (tried to help the nets keep it close at times) miami/dallas finals (changed how they called the games after dallas was up) cleveland/washington series every year (letting lebron get away with the worst travels in the history of the nba to win 2 games) detroit's championship run a few years back (let them physically get away w/ tearing the other team apart on defense but wouldnt let the other teams do the same)

david stern controlling who wins the nba championship biased refs steroids in baseball jim rome lakers/kobe bryant high school & college football obsessions no travel calls in nba You think Stern controls the outcome? If he did, I think The Cavs and The Lakers would have met in The Finals, not The Magic and The Lakers. No, I think David Stern wanted the Cavs vs. Lakers, but made the Magic win so it looked like he didn't fix the Lakers vs. Cavs. There is travel calls in the NBA. The Magic are a big (city) team.

The NRL video referees...this stops play for ages, and most of the time the call is wrong.

Rockets vs Mavericks First Round in 2005 was as well.

2. ESPN kissing the asses of : the Boston Red Sox, Peyton Manning, Michael Vick, and BRETT FARVE. And I gotta stop you there. Did you , a Pats fan just accuse ESPN of kissing Manning's a**. You're clearly mistaken. Every since the inception of the Colts/Patriots rivalry it's been all Pats as far as the media's concerned. That is of course until we made those jackoffs notice us when we stomped them in the 06 ACF Championship. But fanship aside, I can honestly say that the Colts would have to light themselves on fire and run butt a** naked 67 times around Lucas Oil Stadium to get a mention over Jesus Christ and the Apostles aka Brady and the Pats. Did you watch that AFC Championship? Everyone practically wrote us off from the start. Fast foward to this season. It's training camp time. Instead of talking about and projecting what type a season THE LEAGUE FREAKING M V P is going to have, the media, especially ESPN, is too busy lubing up for Tom Brady's return. "Tom Brady Throws First Passes At Mini Camp". How does that warrant a headline on sports center and an hour's worth of discussion. Peyton Manning was the MVP of the entire league in which Brady didn't even play in last year, yet he still gets more of a mention. I keep wondering to my self why the Colt have to keep "sneaking into the playoffs under the radar" when in all actuality we're one of the better franchises of this decade. For My list: I hate how baseball games go on for 3-4 hours. NCAA having 9556749058080 Bowl games each year. The Internet Bowl? Really? NFL Rookie hold outs. First of all, who are you to tell the team that's givving you a career to pay you a certain amount of money or you wont play? That's ridiculous. Quinn and Russel REALLY ticked me off with it some years back. I mean you go from making nothing, to making a bare minimum of 750K. How is that no enough to support yourself. Unless you adopted the entire US ARMY you should need 9 million dollars to be happy and comfortable. It's now allegedly being called a tactic to avoid camp and still get a spot on the field come game day. I hate how anything on a dirt tract is considered a redneck sport. Bugs the life out of me. I hate how protected NFL QBs are today. Learn to take a hit of GTFO. Most of the time the call is off of a nudge that leads to bad acting anyway. I need anything and everything that relates to or is Brett Farve off of my TV screen. Salary Cap issues and the fact that your SuperBowl team will have it's roster raped for talent by the begining of next season because of it. The day of the Dynasty is over.

The bunghole Cubs fan that threw his beer at an outfielder. Makes me embarrassed to be a Cubs fan honestly.
People that like random teams. If you live in Indiana, at least try to like Indianapolis teams. It always gets on my nerves when someone will walk around in a Hawaii shirt. It really shouldn't get on my nerves, but it does
Empty seats. I went to a cubs game sat on a rooftop, as i look around to the area in front of the plate, i see three empty seats. Who the hell bought amazing seats like that and didn't go to the game and was enough of a jerk to not give someone his tickets?
Last but certainly not least, Bandwagon fans. This will piss me off forever. After a player wins a Heisman suddenly EVERYONE is a fan. If a team wins the Super Bowl suddenly every one has a "cousin" in that city/state.

Stupid, idiotic, bandwagon fans that destroy property.
Those L.A. Laker fans for the most part. What a disgrace to the city and team.
