The NFL isn't into parity they're into storylines. All great stories have a villain and the Patriots are the NFL's villain. Regardless of if it's"rigged" the NFL loves it. Parity is the worst thing for any competition. Let's just take turns winning the title guys that'll be great for popularity. The NFL loves drama why in the hell do you think the media had a hard on for a couple of stitches on Brady's had? Why do you think sports talk radio and all the sports networks talk all week about a call that was and wasn't made instead of how good a game was. It was a good game, it came down to bortles and Hackett winning the game and they weren't able to. End of story
