This interview is a little long, about 30 minutes, but well worth your time...

Yea. I believe it all. The whole world is corrupt.

"You do this a couple games a year, and who's gonna know?"

Evidently SOMEONE!

That was very interesting. Watching Massachusetts they have to be on the take. Horrifying bad team.

That was great. About halfway through, he starts talking about Norby Walters and helping him get sports clients. One of his clients was a running back from iowa by the name of Ronnie Harmon.
Harmon fumbled 4 times and dropped an easy TD pass in the ‘86 rose bowl against UCLA after not fumbling once during the regular season.

When the 2nd semester started, Harmon was seen all over campus riding a brand new Vespa scooter and dressing in new, very expensive clothes. Hum… 🤣
Walters and his partner, Lloyd Bloom were convicted of various counts but neither served a day in prison as their convictions were overturned on appeal.

I have always believed (for the most part)...when money is involved, corruption is bound to exist.
I have also never believed that pro sports is "choreographed-fixed" ...that is, that the referees are all
working together to fix a game...or that the NFL has decided that Team A needs to lose, for whatever reason,
so they inform the officials to "fix" the game to that outcome. But, obviously a rouge official can do his part and that has been proven, at least in the NBA it WAS proven. As this video shows, individual players can certainly be "paid off."
I wonder if there has ever been a case of two players or two referees unknowingly, trying to fix the outcome of the same game, one in each direction? 😆

I hope so, that would be funny..

That was a fantastic watch. I have no doubt what he's saying is true. In fact, I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceberg.
