Parsons just walked onto the set for the post game to the Green Bay crowd chanting "Thank you Jerry"...

It's been undeniable for years going back to Ware when he was a beast. Of course, someone here kept denying it even though his own drunken eyes were telling him otherwise.
The embrace of gambling by the league and its partners makes pretty much everything look suspect. New and better information modifies opinion for intelligent people. I'll buy that gambling is affecting the game but not "the league hates the Cowboys and the officials are in on it" lunacy.

The Cowboys are consistently one of the highest wagered sports teams yr over yr, both for and against.

The officials are 100% part of the corruption because I whole heartedly believe a fairly large number of them wager on games themselves. The league ignores it because it would absolutely destroy the money in the league from gambling, fantasy football, ticket sales and ultimately advertisers.

That said, the stuff they called on the Foreskins last night was the same or even less than what he faced on a week to week basis here as a Cowboy. That stuff is not explainable as "oops I missed it" and many of the calls were right in front of their face. Parsons is not any more dominant today than he was the last 4 years.

The only thing that changed was his unform color.

And by the way, how are the refs, and MAYBE to a lesser extent the league not be in on it? I mean, the refs are the ones making the calls/non-calls. Are the bookies throwing the flags?
