Olsen rightfully called it out as a bullshit call
I didn’t say it was a good call.

Chiefs played at Arizona to start the season and crushed Kyler Murray.
Then apparently, complained that field was in bad shape.

As a sports fan, the call and the field really were bummers
Ultimately Philly’s defense got worked in the second half and KC was going to take the lead. It’s just too bad the Eagles didn’t get a chance to score because of that penalty.

After Chiefs score on every second half possession, against a stout defense, curious if Eric Bienemy gets a real shot as a HC?

Nope. Looks like he’ll just take over when Reid retires and keep going to Super Bowls with Mahomes.

Mahomes passes for 182 yards and is super bowl mvp over a guy (Hurts) who runs for 3 tds, passes for 1 TD and 300 yards.

Chuck Howley, Super Bowl V, first and last MVP from a losing team

THE quintessential dwarf
It’s probably not as controversial with a better throw. But comparing the slight hold with a ball 7 yards ahead of him is what’s jarring

Nobody at my gym this a.m., and nobody posting on here since yesterday confirms that the day after the SB is an unofficial national holiday,

I thought the holding was the right call
then again, I hate the Eagles so clearly my bias is probably doing some heavy lifting for how I saw the play, but Bradberry tugged JuJu twice. You can say the ball was overthrown, sure, but Juju might be able to get under it if he wasn't impeded twice going into his route.
Tough call but I compare it to a shirt grab in the box in soccer -- don't give the ref a reason to make such a big call. Bradberry fucked up and he admitted as much. Fair play to him for doing that, btw, shows some solid character holding his hands up and not hiding behind social media outrage.
If that's a penalty in the first quarter then it's a penalty in the last 2 minutes of the game. I never understood the argument that refs should "swallow their whistle" towards the end of the game. Wouldn't not calling a penalty also be them deciding the outcome only in a more egregious way considering they saw a penalty being committed?

Super Bowl LVII referee Carl Cheffers says there’s no doubt in his mind that the officials got the call right on the defensive holding penalty committed by James Bradberry in the game’s final moments.
“The receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside. The defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside. So, therefore, we called defensive holding,” Cheffers said.
Asked if it was clear, Cheffers said it was, and that none of the other officials disagreed with the official who threw the flag.
“It was a clear case of a jersey grab that caused restriction,” Cheffers said. “There was no debate. Just making sure what he had, and once he told us what he had, we went about our business.”
