If you did not see the game last night between the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers, oops, Philadelphia Eagles, skip ahead in this video to 3:07 to see what I am writing about.

The game followed a pattern seen throughout this NFL season of late-game comebacks and nail-biting finishes. In this game the Bills were down 13-0 when they scored in the 4th quarter, but missed the extra point! That’s the first time this year for their very reliable kicker, Matt Prater. They then got the ball back with very little time left, and scored again! They only needed to kick an extra point to tie the game and send it into overtime, which I view as the natural coaching decision. Instead they opted to go for a two-point conversion. OK, many things can justify that decision. On the two-point conversion, Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen has a man not just open, but wide open so that he only need loft the ball to complete a pass and win the game. Instead, he muffs the throw, hitting the turf three yards ahead of the runner. It was not natural, and he’s too seasoned to have blown it.

Thanks to an insightful comment on my recent post titled “Immaculate Deception?” I am now providing a follow-up that puts the final nail in the coffin. The question mark in the title can officially be removed—the deception is undeniable. The evidence speaks for itself.

Patricia Rooney Mara is an American actress. She has received various accolades, including nominations for two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and a British Academy Film Award. Born into the Rooney (known for it’s connection to sports, owning the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL) and Mara (known for owning the New York Giants of the NFL) families.

I was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania, which meant that by default of where my parents copulated and conceived, “My Teams” were the Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins. A recent interaction with Tyrone on my Rickey Henderson post brought back a particularly vivid and traumatic memory from when I was nine years old.

The memory revolves around a wild pitch thrown by a relief pitcher during the 1972 playoffs—a moment that cost the Pirates their chance at victory. To most, it might seem like just another heartbreaking sports moment, but to my 9-year-old self, it was monumental. I can still recall isolating myself and crying inconsolably, grappling with the crushing weight of disappointment for the first time. In hindsight, those moments teach us to handle life’s setbacks.

But today, with the clarity that comes from five decades of reflection, It’s obvious that it was all scripted. Yes—scripted for dramatic effect. Almost nothing we experience (in the media) is truly natural or organic. Let’s just consider this yet another piece of evidence that manipulation isn’t a new tactic—it’s something we’ve been subjected to for our entire lives.

The (1-minute) video picks up in the bottom of the 9th inning of the final game of the divisional playoffs. The winner would go to the World Series. When he throws the wild pitch, there were 2 outs and only a runner a third. He literally could have walked two more batters. Bob Moose was born 10/9/47 and “died” on 10/9/76 at the age of 29.

I watched a lot of football these last nine days, and came away with that feeling that outcomes are predetermined.

But first, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. I am not buying it. I chose the photo above because something about it says to me that it is lacking electricity. He is about to kiss the bridge of her nose, and she appears to be holding her head in such a way as to avoid making facial contact. They are in public, there’s lots of photos, and in some they are kissing. I could be all wet here, they could be hot and sweaty lovers. But with her showing up at all of his home games, and cameras flipping to her in the booth every time he does something good on the field, there seems to be an element of staging. (Just to stifle rumors otherwise, her long extended wrist and fingers say she is a woman, and not a tranny. She has a male-like face, but no Adam’s Apple.)

Above is a press conference by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s in the wake of the team’s last-second loss to the Houston Texans last Sunday.

I wanted to watch that game, as Burrows is one of the better QBs in the league and Texan Quarterback C.J. Stroud is coming off an amazing 500-yard five-touchdown game the prior week. I have NFL Sunday Ticket, so that any time there is an out-of-market game I want to see, it is a sure thing that NFLST will black it out. They did. Of course they did.
