Were the 1996 NBA Finals Fixed? - A Crazy Carl Conspiracy Theory

This is an actual IM conversation between Crazy Carl and Myself


Crazy Carl: ok. i was driving to philadelphia with my buddy "D" when we told Me: this story.
Crazy Carl: there was this kid i knew through playing hockey, he went to high school with "D" and played for that school.
Crazy Carl: anyways, the kids father's worked for briggs, the security company.
Crazy Carl: so, in , Briggs is hired by the NBA. the kid's father was assigned to a detail that was supposed to keep the Larry O'Brien Trophy (that's the championship trophy. they make a new one every year) secure from when it was finished being made in mid may until the end of the NBA finals. After that it belongs to the team, and its the teams responsibility.
Crazy Carl: you with me so far.
Crazy Carl: sorry, it was , my bad.
Crazy Carl: anyways, the bulls play the sonics in that NBA finals.
Crazy Carl: games 1 and 2 are in chicago, games 3 and 4 and 5 are in seattle, then games 6 and 7 are supposed to be in chicago.
Me: OK
Crazy Carl: the bulls win game 1 and 2 in chicago.
Crazy Carl: then they win game 3 in seattle
Crazy Carl: seattle comes back to win game 4 107-86.
Crazy Carl: then seattle wins game 5 89-78
Crazy Carl: series goes back to chicago for game 6, chicago wins the title on fathers day 87-75 to win the title.
Me: why do i feel like all those details aren't necessary
Crazy Carl: so, chicago has 2 chances to win the title in seattle, but doesn't. they went 72-10 in the regular season.
Me: anyway, go on
Me: is this a gambling thing?
Crazy Carl:  they were 14-1 in the playoff going into game 4 of the finals in seattle.
Crazy Carl: yes.
Me: let me guess...they didn't even BRING the trophy to Seattle cause they KNEW Chicago wasn't going to win there?
Crazy Carl: exactly.
Crazy Carl: the trophy never went to Seattle
Me: do you really TRULY believe this story?
Crazy Carl: theoretically they should've shipped it to Seattle after game 3.
Crazy Carl: yes i do.
Me: get proof
Crazy Carl: this kids father
Crazy Carl: i believe it with all my heart.
Crazy Carl: games 4 and 5 weren't close. they weren't swung by the refs.
Crazy Carl: chicago lost by 21 points and 11 points in the 2 games.
Crazy Carl: chicago was down 53-32 at halftime in game 4.
Me: may i copy and paste this convo onto my blog?
Crazy Carl: go ahead.
Crazy Carl: it is my new favorite conspiracy theory
Crazy Carl:  the bulls lost one game that season by more than 10 points.

Crazy Carl's Get Rich Quick Idea

This is an ACTUAL conversation that I just had with Crazy Carl:

Crazy Carl: i finally figured out how i'm going to get rich.

Me: ok I'll bite....

Crazy Carl:  i was thinking about this today when i was speeding and passed a speed trap but didn't get pulled over.

it would sort of be like a stink bomb.

it would be a vial that would have liquid in it that would smell exactly like you shit your pants.

would you rather spend $20 on that, or get a $200 ticket, plus have your car insurance go up?

Me:  you. are. an. idiot

Crazy Carl:  no, i am a mad genius.

why do people buy radar detectors?

and my vial of shit your pants would be way cheaper than a radar detector

Crazy Carl Says Something Intelligent?

Write down the date people! Crazy Carl just said something relatively intelligent to me!

RUCameron77 (12:14:02 PM): i was arguing with my boss the other day about Obama's "experience" and Clinton's experience.

RUCameron77 (12:14:38 PM): guess what, neither of them have the experience to be President. in fact, theres only 4 living people with the experience to be president.

RUCameron77 (12:14:54 PM): jimmy carter, george bush, george w. bush and bill clinton.

RUCameron77 (12:15:27 PM): its like becoming a parent. there is no job like it, and thus no real preparation for it. once you get the job you deal with it

It's Friday!

I just came back from a meeting and returned to this from Crazy Carl:

"Did you notice Britney Spears on the cover of the Daily News today? Boy, is she a psychopath! one of my girlfriend's friends said that she felt bad for Britney's kids, and that they were going to grow up messed up. but, given the choice between being Jayden Spears- Federline...and being mike jones, born in a public housing project in detroit, to a drug addicted 12 year old mother living in poverty...Call me crazy, but i'd rather be Jayden Spears Federline any day of the next 65 years. In fact, I'd rather be the son of someone who's rich and crazy... than the son of someone who's extremely poor and noble. Then again, I'm just Crazy Carl, What do i know?"

Thank you Carl.
