Kinda difficult to call it a coincidence at this point

Don't forget this one

Agreed 100%. Obviously you can't guarantee a win but the circumstances would have been completely different. Other than the "fail mary" play, I can't think of a more egregious officiating decision. At least those were replacement referees. These we're supposed to be "all stars". Inexcusable.

Not if he ever wants to interview anyone big and be privy to inside information he wouldn't. You'd have to be extremely brave or very stupid to ask someone that destroys people for a living about their alleged drug use. And what do you suppose Jones's response to that question would have been?

Ok. Well then delegate before you announce it to the world.

A Vince McMahon special. The NFL just lost any credibility it had left after their nightmare season of dealing with Rice and Peterson

Agreed. That was well worth a technical foul.

Remember how up in arms everyone was when Golden State fired Mark Jackson in order to hire Steve Kerr? Doesn't look like such a bad decision now
