Yep. This is exactly where I've been at since the Tampa super bowl. I enjoy football but when refs make game changing ticky tack calls then it just feel like wwe. I honestly feel like I wasted 3 hours of my life again...just like the first bungles game and that Raiders game.
For the record, I hate when the calls go in our favor too. Let em play the game and decide it. When they can call penalties every play but only call them selectively, what's the point of having rules? [Reply]
Whatever he said enraged the refs. I bet he said to Matt Ryan, "We would both have another Super Bowl ring if the refs didn't always call penalties for tom brady." [Reply]
” I don’t think I said anything horrendous, but the official called it, and I can’t take it back,” Jones told the Kansas City Star. “I’ve got to do a better job of playing the game and not saying anything, obviously.” [Reply]
It's really complete bullshit that no one is being transparent about what was said.
Millions of dollars were bet on this game. If you're going to make one single call that shifts those millions that dramatically, then the people who put their hard earned money on the line have a right to know exactly what went into that call.
If you're going to get into bed with gambling, the level of transparency needs to be crystal clear.
Stop protecting the refs, letting them get away with saying they're "unable to elaborate". Make them tell the public what happened.
The whole thing just stinks and if you want conspiracy theories then this is how you get them. [Reply]
It really doesn't matter what was said. The rule has been around for a while, don't fucking talk shit to a QBs face after a sack in front of a ref. Pretty easy. [Reply]

Oh grasshoppa you are soooooooo naive. There is NOTHING TRANSPARENT about the gambling world(just the illusion of transparency) and that's the way Vegas wants it. Nothing personal:-) [Reply]
