In reaction to a new story by Yahoo’s Chris Chase that Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher was asked towards the end of the “Monday Night Football” game between Tennessee and the Jacksonville Jaguars to take a time out for a commercial break, this moves this author into once again believing that the NFL is more rigged than fans think.
Fisher was asked by a referee to call a timeout so that the station could squeeze in more commercials. This is damaging to hear as a football fan, especially given that he shows a referee—who is supposed to be unbiased—purposely telling a NFL coach to do something just so that a network can make more money.
Fischer was asked to call a timeout, and he declined, but apparently this sort of thing goes on way too often in the NFL.
If this is true…
Wow… I don’t even know what to say…
