The Power of the Polygraph
May 21st 2007eBaseball & Hockey & MLB & NBA & NFL
The “sport” of bass fishing has once again begun using lie detectors to make sure competitors catch their fish in an honest manner. Apparently cheating has become so rampant (in the last month two men in small tournaments were caught hiding fish) that anglers must now pass a polygraph test before leaving the weigh-in site. This got me thinking about what it would be like if other sports decided to use a lie detector.
NBA—After every playoff game officials hook up Manu Ginobli and force him to admit how many times he flopped.
MLB–Fans finally find out what Alex Rodriguez really thinks of Derek Jeter.
NFL–Bengals players are forced to confess to all the crimes they committed that authorities never found out about.
NHL–Members of the 1999 Dallas Stars must admit they won the Stanley Cup on a bogus call.
Golf–Tiger Woods admits he sometimes lets other golfers win to “keep things interesting.”
Tennis–Rafael Nadal will reveal why he actually likes wearing capris.
