There was no foul called on Parish on this play - no flagrant, technical or even a regular personal foul. NBA loved the Celtics in the 80s.

Number 1 Florida vs Arkansas at the swamp in 2009. That one always stuck with me.
I didn't see that one, but I do recall that the officials for that game got suspended for several weeks. And you only do that for egregious stuff, not because someone missed a judgment call.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Arky fans forever have a special place in their hearts (hate) for Marc Curles, and it will not be going away any time soon. He called their Auburn and LSU games this past season and there were some really bad calls against the Hogs in both.

I remember the Arky v UF game.
I had no dog in the fight but I was ready to jump thru the tv and cuss some officials out. Those refs shoud have absolutely been FIRED ON THE SPOT and told to walk home because any other form of transportation would not be reimbursed.
Wonder how much those refs made off that game?

2006 and 2016 Ohio St- Michigan games. But it’s hard to feel too sorry for Michigan with Carr and Harbaugh on the sidelines.

Silva vs Sonnen kinda feels rigged with how quick many refs call fights but let them fight it out.

Heat-Mavs Shaq Finals.

In a weird way SB 37. So many weird occurrences off the field and it’s odd that Gruden’s favorite musician is scheduled to play after the game.

To me... no it wasn’t, but to many conspiracy theorists yes.But there are ALOT of weirdness surrounding the game. But keep in mind Raiders fans had to deal with the Tuck Rule the year before with Gruden. So there is a lot of saltiness over Callahan over this game.

1) Callahan admitted that he changed absolutely nothing in terms of terminology from Gruden’s playbook the year before.
2) The Raiders starting center goes AWOL in San Diego on a coke induced mid life crisis because Callahan last minute decides to implement a new game plan a day before the SB.
3) The NFL MVP throws 5 interceptions in one game after only throwing 11 all year.
4) Gruden admitting that Bon Jovi was one of his and his wife’s favorite musician of all time. His favorite song just happens to be “my life”

The problem is that Callahan proved consistently over his career to be in way over his head as a HC.

Nebraska is what Nebraska is, but he completely destroyed everything that program had been built upon. He was worse than DuBose ever thought about being in that regard.

Yes but Raiders fans have taken comments by Tim Brown and Jerry Rice over the past few years that they believed Callahan threw that game because he felt Al Davis screwed his best friend Jon Gruden over. I think Callahan’s career as a whole kinda kills that theory. But there are several odd occurrences that gives the Raiders conspiracy theories some legs.

Yes, because Bill Callahan would rather the personal satisfaction of screwing over Al Davis than having a Super Bowl ring.

This makes PERFECT sense to Flat Earthers, but it doesn't do much for logical people.
