After recently attending the last two Frankfurt Galaxy home games I have come to the conclusion that NFL Europe is fixed. I think the home teams get all the calls because the NFL wants the hometown fans to go home happy and spread the word about american football. This past Saturday's game was the worst. Cologne out played the Galaxy horribly but they had 11 penalties called against them. They were all at the most inopportune times as well. Third and long and there would be a phantom pass interference call or something bad. All I could do is sit in the stands and shake my head. Myself and all my American fans were waving money at the refs from the sideline. The Cologne coach got a kick out of it though as did the players. They kept getting the refs attention and pointing at us. I was appaled by the officiating and I don't think calls like that do the game any justice. So now that my tirade is over with I think I am going to start playing the home teams in this league. I have never bet on NFL Europe but I am going to give my theory a shot next weekend...
