I had the exact same thought, I can't believe it's seriously been 12 years

Another ridiculous stat, I believe the last time the Jets had a QB throw for over 3000 yards in a season was Joe Namath in the late 60’s!

I didn't say that. I said they are worth less because there are so many. In football for example the difference between 1-1 or 1-2 is huge, and decided by only one call. There are hundreds of points in a tennis match and thus, manipulating just a handful has a much smaller impact overall.

I’m just replying to the idea that there are too many points in a match for an umpire to make a difference with a few calls. They easily could.

If an umpire makes regular hard overrules on vital points multiples times in a match they'll be under a microscope in no time. There's no way they'd get away with that if you want to affect more than one match

You might be right, I think Kevin Kolb can finally get us over the hump

From the article it reads like he was spot fixing instead of calling points to affect the outcome. So things like - player A will double-fault in the fourth game of the third set. He was making money or making his paymasters money that way.

This is a ridiculous comment, one or two we’ll timed calls could easily throw a match, like in a tiebreaker or if the server has break point against. In a close professional match, throwing one point in one game every 2-3 sets could be huge if done at the right time.

He's Putin's lackey. He shares the blame.
