Whichever "internet news" said that is probably as ill informed as you are. Would be interested in a link to this unimpeachable source of cutting edge sports news. Their motto is "Who says you can't make this stuff up."
Boxing you can fix, easily- just pay some poor Palooka to take a dive. He needs the bucks, and he's the only one who needs to know about it.
Baseball, too- easy to "barely" miss a catch, swing a little high or low, or "groove" a hanging slider so some guy hits it out. Tougher because you have to have several in on it, and you can get caught (Chicago Black Sox, 1919).
But football? Impossible. EVERYBODY on the team would have to be in on it and get a payoff, and that's just never going to happen.

I've got lots more than 5 mill already, and I'm more inclined to go into the Hall of Fame than Leavenworth. Believe I'll pass."
No, Seattle was just playing the same game they had played all season, "guys flying all over the place", at about triple the intensity. They were so hyped by all the hoopla that I doubt anyone could have beat them that day.

In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
