IMO tonight's NFL game Packers vs Bears was scripted. Aaron Rodgers looked like he'd be out for the season then in the second half he re-entered the game like a Superhero and lead his team to victory after trailing 17-0 at the half. NFL ratings have taken a hit, and the last game tonight to kick off Week 1 just so happens to be the most thrilling? Doesn't that make your Spidey senses tingle? They want Stephen A Smith, the Aaron Rodger's Stan to go berserk tomorrow morning. This is the headline that regular folks working 9-5 will be reading when commuting to work and discussing at work with their co-worker tomorrow. They will be even more hyped and tune in for Monday Night Football and the following weekend's games. This is the type of scripting orchestrated by the league and the media. There are also different types of fixing or scripting such as the involvement of crime orgs, corporate sponsors, or family/friends. An example of the latter is Player A agrees with his friends and family to not get more than X number of rebounds so they can win on a prop bet.
I was referring to the part where if they do not comply, they will face dire consequences. So in other words I do not buy most of these stories that so and so who was 25 died from overdosing. They signed their name in blood in order to get their celeb status. When they do not play ball, they get offed to send a message to the others that the same will happen to them if they renege on their deal.
Some games might require more players to know the script. It depends on how elaborate it needs to be. In the example I provided with Player A, only he and his friends/family needed to know. I'm not insinuating that every or even most game are fixed, certain ones are and sometimes it may or may not be obvious. It all depends on the situation.
I explained how it is so well-kept. If their lips get loose, they will be 6 feet under!
It is an unwritten rule to do this and ****. Why would they spill the beans and ruin what they have? They are in such an exclusive club. If you are offered 10 million a year to play ball and throw a game here and there, you can't keep your mouth shut? The one outlier I can think of is that NBA ref who wrote the tell-all book but he obviously was not nearly as wealthy as the coaches and players.
After all these years, the most outspoken person was the ref and ref fixing is among the lowest level of fixing. So I would deduce that the leagues have run a tight ship. Besides, everyone who watches sports should at least have a slight bit of skepticism and assume that there could be some sort of fixing albeit minor.
It is possible and happens in every professional sport, even in Collegiate sports. I'm not saying I believe every game or even most games are fixed or scripted. But there are definitely some that are. It could be one game in the entire season or every other game.
I think as long as its 5400 RPM's and a specific type it wont void it, you still want to verify on the sony site though, its best to do it when you first get a PS4 since you have nothing saved
