Bill Burr Calls Out the NFL: “It’s Massaged, Not Fixed”

Bill Burr Says NFL Games Are “Massaged,” Not Fixed

Bill Burr isn’t buying the idea that the NFL is purely about competition. In a recent rant, he claimed the league isn’t outright rigged but is certainly “massaged” to favor certain teams. His main target? The Kansas City Chiefs.

Burr pointed out how crucial calls always seem to go Kansas City’s way, especially in big moments. With millions of dollars on the line, he believes the league benefits from keeping its biggest stars and storylines alive. “They got all the stars, they got Taylor Swift,” he joked, implying that the NFL operates more like an entertainment business than a true sports league.

He didn’t outright accuse the NFL of fixing games but suggested that certain teams get “more back rubs” than others. “You’re gonna have to be up by at least 30 points” to beat them, he said, hinting at the uphill battle for opposing teams.

Burr’s take reflects a growing skepticism among fans. With controversial officiating and billion-dollar stakes, is the NFL prioritizing drama over fair competition?
