I've never in all my years seen a coach so ****ing stupid. Just when you thought Sparano couldn't waste timeouts in any more stupid fashions, he calls a timeout after the Bronco's scored a TD, to create time so that the refs would review it. Here's the kicker, reviews on touchdowns are ****ing MANDATORY. Yes, there was that Darren Sproles TD against the Bears where the officials went full retard and forgot to review, and got flamed for it by every media outlet, including Mike Periea the former NFL VP of Officiating, but still. Unbelievable.
 
Actually it was a good timeout. The Broncos were about to kick the extra point and the booth never called down to the field. Only AFTER the timeout did the booth decide that the ref needed to take another look. On top of that, after they reviewed it, they gave BACK the timeout to the Dolphins.

True. Up until that point, the refs didn't look like they were going to review the TD.
 
Agreed it didn't look like they were gonna review it . . . I thought they had to review it before they lined up . . . like its automatic or something, but it didn't appear to do that and I think that is why Miami players were a little pissed with the refs.
