Since former Pro Bowl NFL running back Arian Foster announced that the NFL is rigged and follows a certain “script” each season, the memes and content have been incredible. The NFL themselves have leaned into the joke and poked fun at it themselves, as illustrated by their newest commercial:

“This is juicy,” New York Giants star defensive tackle belts out as he is handed a “script” for the upcoming NFL season. Lawrence decides to skip ahead towards the middle of the script, stating: “I got to see how many yards Justin Jefferson had.” “This is crazy,” Lawrence said in reaction to Jefferson’s pre-determined yard total.
As betting continues to evolve and further immerse itself in the industry of sports, fans have been quick to point fingers and call games rigged when the bets they made don’t work in their favor.
It is amazing to see the NFL and its players embrace this narrative that the league is scripted and poke fun at this notion. Whether Foster intended to or not, he’s gotten everyone talking about this topic since he made the controversial statements on Barstool Sports’ Macrodosing podcast series.
Week 1 of the 2023 NFL regular season will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 7, when the reigning Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Detroit Lions presented by NBC. While the NFL seems to have its 2023 Super Bowl Champion already picked out, fans cannot wait to see who it will.
