BREAKING: NFL on FOX sports radio host Troy Aikman is happy to hear that three referees who worked the game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have been suspended and are under investigation after the referee overlooked multiple errors and may be involved in a bribery ring that affects the NFL

In news that’s totally shocking and not at all a wild overreaction, NFL on FOX sports  radio host Troy Aikman is reportedly delighted to learn that three referees who officiated the epic Bills-Chiefs game are suspended and under investigation. Why? Because, according to the ever-reasonable Aikman, these zebras aren’t just bad at their jobs, they’re probably part of a vast, shadowy bribery conspiracy that’s clearly controlling the entire NFL.

Yes, you read that right. Forget missed calls, forget human error. Aikman, a man known for his calm and measured analysis (just kidding!), seems to be suggesting that these refs were less interested in fair play and more interested in… well, we’re not sure. Large stacks of unmarked bills? A lifetime supply of questionable stadium nachos? The possibilities are truly endless.

“It’s about time!” Aikman presumably shouted into a microphone, possibly while dramatically pointing a finger. “These officials need to be held accountable! This isn’t just about a few missed calls, folks. This is about the integrity of the game! (And also, maybe, about my undying love for the Bills. Just a hunch.)”

The internet, naturally, has responded with the appropriate level of seriousness. #RefereeGate is trending, with fans sharing hilarious memes of refs accepting bribes in the form of, well, everything from hot dogs to playoff wins. One particularly insightful Twitter user pointed out, “If the refs are taking bribes, shouldn’t they be, like, really good at hiding it? I mean, come on.”

The NFL, meanwhile, has released a statement saying they are “looking into the situation” which, in NFL speak, probably means “we’re going to pretend to investigate until everyone forgets about this.”

And the three suspended referees? They’ve declined to comment, probably because they’re too busy counting all that bribe money. (Just kidding… mostly.)

And there you have it—another day, another wild NFL conspiracy. Will it spark real change? Unlikely. Will it keep us entertained? Without a doubt. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to check my bank account… just in case those bribes finally came through.
