James Bradberry admits to crucial holding
call in Super Bowl 2023

Original Article

James Bradberry’s first Super Bowl appearance will always be defined by a single call. It’s the one that directly correlated with the end of the Eagles’ special season, the one that soured a season-long redemption story of his own after the cornerback was released by the Giants and started over during the offseason.  Though some might label the fourth-quarter holding penalty a poor officiating call, Bradberry admitted he committed a penalty while defending Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster in the closing minutes of Super Bowl 2023. “It was a holding,” Bradberry told reporters following Philadelphia’s 38-35 loss. “I tugged his jersey.

Yeah, it was obvious. The ref had to make the call. If something is "well, maybe," this is when you as a ref may say let 'em play. But if it's a call that could have a picture of it in the rule book, the flag needs to come out. Philadelphia couldn't stop KC the second half. Two entirely different halves. I would have bet my grocery money on the Eagles winning big at halftime.

Nice to see an athlete man up and admit he made a mistake and the call was legit. Someone share this story with LeBron.

He may have been touching the jersey, but it didn't look like he held it well enough to impede Schuster. Did Schuster even feel it? Did he even know he had been touched? Perhaps "holding" is being administered too strict. That call likely decided the game.

The script was followed. I'm guessing the NFL is no different than "pro-wrestling."

Even without the hold Kansas City would have kicked a field goal leaving the Eagles with 1 1/2 minutes and no time outs. The two plays that beat the Eagles was the fumble for a touchdown and the punt return to the 5-yard-line. That kind of unusual 14 points will seal a game.

STOP the "what ifs!" The game is played for 60 minutes, so play the game and finish strong for 60 minutes. The Eagles held the ball on offense longer that the Chiefs, so shouldn't the Eagles have scored more points? STOP blaming the Referees! GREAT teams find ways to win! It takes a man to admit a mistake and how refreshing that James Bradberry did! GEEZE!

As a lifelong NY Giant fan, it was poetic justice that the defensive holding penalty against the Iggles was made by a player who was a former Giant before he was released. This especially is schadenfreude, considering the overkill beatdown that the Eagles inflicted on the Giants in December, and the chirping from Bradberry. I guess there was a good reason the Giants released Bradberry.

The rules have changed so much that compared to the 1970s, every play in a modern game would have a holding call. Back then, if your hand even touched another uniform, it was holding. Blocking was done with shoulder and upper arm only. How can a ref see every hand on every play and tell if it was a push or a grab? The game is insane.

Refreshing to hear that he agrees that he held. It wasn't a "mistake", that is what you do, sometimes it is seen and called, sometimes it is missed. The hold probably had no bearing on the receiver's ability to catch the ball but maybe it did. The Ref threw the flag early and had no way of knowing the bearing of the call. Anyway it doesn't matter, a ref should not swallow his whistle at the closing of the game ("let them play"), he was doing his job to the completion of the game.

Sorry Philly fans but the call was legit. Even Stevie Wonder or Ronnie Milsap can see the tugging on the jersey. Also, you can't fumble the ball and set up a team just as good as you to get points. That and the fact your vaulted defense who stopped the equally hated (by me) 49ers cold failed to stop KC in the second half. You blitzed and left a man wide open to walk into the endzone? Not once but twice. The better team won yesterday and crying about a "bad call" won't change that.

That call was not the deciding factor. The previous quarters had a lot of plays that resulted in advantage to one team or the other. An interception that was artfully returned to the Eagle red zone was critical. It’s a complete game of plays. No one player is at fault.

I am no football expert, not in any way. Too me the holding call was pretty obvious on the video. The one that I disagreed with was the fumble return for TD that was nullified. It seemed clear to me that the ball had stopped moving in the receiver's hands for a fraction of a second, and then it was hit by the tackler's shoulder and popped out. Seemed like a completed pass and an IMMEDIATE fumble, to me. However - perhaps my ignorance is showing, since the KC player who picked up the ball and ran it in for the "TD" said later that he knew it was an incomplete pass. I don't actually know how the NFL defines a completed pass....does there have to be X number of seconds of control? I don't know and don't care enough to do the research. It seemed very clear to me that the receiver had a good catch and would not have dropped the ball without the intervening high speed shoulder. But what do I know? I am no football expert.

#16) If I recall correctly, a pass isn't complete until the receiver has had a chance to do a "football move". Maybe bring it down to his chest and tuck it in.

Ohio's Republican Sen. J.D. Vance said he is 'certainly not' satisfied with Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's handling of the train derailment in East Palestine.  'He's more concerned about racism and white construction workers,' Vance told DailyMail.com.  Explaining what he's looking for out of the Transportation Department, Vance said: 'I'd like to see more investigations. I'd like to see some openness about what the regulatory failure was.'  Buttigieg has said on Twitter his agency is supporting ongoing investigations into the fiery 50-car derailment on February 3, and will work to 'ensure accountability.'   But the 41-year-old Transportation secretary took heat on Monday,

We’ve seen a lot of effort to censor conservatives and folks who won’t just mimic the liberal narrative. That’s one of the things revealed in the Twitter files, with tweets and accounts causing shadow banning or visibility filtering. We saw coordination with the Biden team as well as the staff for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) trying to suppress a journalist for what he wrote about Schiff. As we reported, Redstate was even put on a blacklist, along with many other conservative sites by Microsoft-owned Xandr, a major advertising company, which red-flagged our site while not taking the same action against left-wing sites. Fortunately, that appears to have now been lifted.

Ever since President Joe Biden started shooting down every unidentified-floating-object over America, the public has been left to wonder why. Now four 'objects,' including the Chinese spy ship, have been popped by sophisticated weapons of war over the last 10 days. So, what explains the White House going from letting balloons soar clear across the purple mountains and fruited plains to suddenly scrambling the F-22s and F-16s to destroy anything that drifts? Who knows? Given that this fiasco involves national security and intelligence, it is reasonable that Biden won't simply reveal all. But so far, we've gotten mixed messages

President Joe Biden has not addressed the American people about mysterious objects being shot out of the sky because the White House does not want to spark panic. That was the answer given by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday when she was asked why Biden had not made a televised speech on the issue.  She said he was taking the matter seriously and was being briefed regularly. 'And he's going to continue to do that,' she told reporters. 'We are sharing as much information as we can as possible ... but we do want to make sure that the American people understand that there's no need to panic.'
