I don't know if one can even really call this a conspiracy, but it does give you an idea of the mentality of people who believe conspiracy theories.
One of the many Onion like sites out there decided to post an article about the Super Bowl being rigged.
As is often the case, it gets posted on a message board, and people take it as legit news. Even more legitimate news sites started carrying the story.
Eventually, those same sites figured out that it was a hoax, and posted as such.
Despite knowing the origins of the conspiracy (a fictitious news site) there are still some on the football message boards claiming the rigging to be real.
*sigh*
