Yeah, tying a couple ends together, and asking more uncomfortable questions about Damar Hamlin...

And for every "nobody", there's a JAB128 in the comments who likes to throw nuggets my way.

In the discourse after last night's debacle in Kansas City, a YouTuber posted this in commentary.  He admits he's a Bengals fan (and completely ignores Joseph Ossai), but here you go:

The man in the video makes a side point I never considered:  Could a lot of the rise of fantasy football be a means to obscure the rigging from the public, since many in the public no longer operate simply on who wins and loses?

Oh, and the LAST PERSON who's going to do anything about it is the owner, sir.  The owners are in active cahoots with each other and the league office.

But that's a side point to what JAB128 wanted to point out, and he found it in this video's comments, from YouTube user "DCToonTime":

"The NFL DID NOT want any players who were on the field when Demar [sic] went down. They don't want Bengals's [sic] players questioned about it for two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl."

And this ties back in to my reaction to the Hamlin video from his Instagram on Saturday.

It would explain the 27-10 the week before as well...

But, again, WHY?  Short of a deepfake, that video was of Damar Hamlin.  And, though I don't think the NFL would quite go that far, it IS technologically possible.

In a far more entertaining manner, here's one of the possibilities as to how, as a group auditioning for a recent season of America's Got Talent demonstrates how a deepfake can be used as entertainment, as they get Simon Cowell to "sing", through a former AGT contestant.

But it would explain the 27-10, but, again, the question you then need to ask, especially after the posted video on Saturday, is why the NFL would do it?  If this were a legitimate hero story and he's going to make it and to at least have some productive life, would the NFL not want that advertised far and wide?

So why the secrecy in Buffalo?  Why did this video get made a week AFTER that game and the Bills were eliminated??  Was this video make a week after that game, etc. and so forth???  Why would the NFL want the Bills and Bengals away from the Super Bowl media spotlight????

Questions which do need to be asked.
