Quote:Anyone that realistically thinks a NFL GM, player or coach or owner would mandate or in some way try to manipulate failure (and that is what intentional tanking is) is beyond ignorant in all aspects of competitive sports, manhood, and teamwork. Those persons viewpoint pertaining to anything football or sports related should be held as laughable.

Quote:There was a recent article somewhere (too lazy to find it) about tanking in the NBA, and that it is a real thing.

 

Sure, you can't tell people to tank, but you can put your team in the best position to lose, i.e, Houston starting Keenum over Schaub.
