nov 21 2019 It's been nearly eight weeks since Vontaze Burfict played in his last NFL game of 2019. The Raiders linebacker has been out since the end of Week 4, when he was given a season-long suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit that he placed on Colts tight end Jack Doyle.

Although Burfict has been laying low for most of his suspension, the linebacker did come out of the woodwork recently to do an interview with The Athletic, and let's just say, it seems he had some bottled up emotions that he wanted to get off his chest, and most of those emotions had to do with the NFL and some key league executives.

For one, Burfict made a shocking accusation that probably isn't going to go over too well in the league office: The Raiders linebacker said he believes that some NFL games are rigged. According to Burfict, the league is able to pull it off because the officials can control the outcome of any game. Burfict's opinion on the subject came up when he was asked if he had been watching any football during his suspension.

"I honestly think some of the games are rigged," Burfict said. "The refs pick and choose when they want to throw their flags. There are flags on every play. The refs determine the outcomes of games, so I just chose not to watch it for the most part."

When the NFL draws up schedules, the weaker teams get softer schedules!!! That's been going on for years and is as wrong as anything can be. It's ok to give weak teams better draft picks but once the season starts the goal should be to make everything equal.

Just look at what they do to the Lions.

I agree they are rigged. They like to see Green Bay and the Patriots win. Used to be the Cowboys.

With Green Bay this year they were totally going to lose and the officials chose to throw two flags EXACTLY when it was absolutely necessary.

OK - that's his opinion. Burfict says your friend is wrong. I think all sports are rigged. There is so much money involved.
