i ask cos it seemed every team the small town colts played seemed to lay down like the #1 seed Ravens who did not put a fight and the 3 time champs Pats who after losing Brady was all smiles and the Bears who have a great D but played like middle schoolers especially Grossman who seemed disinterested in the biggest game of his life!!!

No, the only corruption in football has been the Patriots ongoing Cheating

You apparently don't have a clue about football. Brady was not all smiles. He didn't shake a single hand after the game. He was pissed they lossed!!! Do you really believe that Ray Lewis would throw a game? Have you ever heard him talk. He would tackle his own grandma to win. The fact is the BIG TIME COLTS went into the playoffs and beat everyone they played. Colts D with Bob Sanders is a different defense than they had without him. They stuffed Larry Johnson. They won a defensive struggle against the Ravens. They came from behind against the Pats. Then they picked apart the Bears. This is what real NFL fans understand that you don't. Teams like the Colts, Pats, Niners back in the day, can beat anyone in any type of game. By the way, the Ravens were not the number one seed, the Chargers were. I not even sure you watch football!!!

The Ravens - Colts game was a defensive duel. The Ravens were the #22 offense in yards. Vinatieri made the difference.
But that happened before, when the Giants beat the Niners in the 1990 NFC Championship with 5 Field Goals by Matt Bahr. Are you going to say that Montana did not put a fight then neither?
Belichik and Brady were so pissed after the AFC champioship that they did not shake hands like Harrison, Manning and Dungy did every time the Colts lost againts the Pats.
Finally, you really think the Bears played like middle schoolers when Hester return the first kickoff for a TD?. There was again a huge difference between a Grossman who started hot and lost focus and Manning who started shaky and took the best as clock was running.

First the Bears do not have a great D,they are mediocre at best,and the Colts earned every victory in their schedule,size of city don't mean a thing,if anything you would figure the NFL is served better if a big city wins,more revenue from TV ads which means more money for football,you must be a sore loser that stuck with a losing team,it happens quite often

Lots of corruption but not as bad as boxing. I don't think it's "fake" in terms of the games being fixed but then again i haven't watched too closely for a few years.

As long as Don King doesn't become a GM or a referee I dont think it will ever be as corrupt as boxing.

its not corrupt,but they make so much money ,they dont seem to care as much about winning or losing as their fans do.after a loss their gorgeous wife and million dollar house and 15 cars ease the pain.
