Referee already had a history with the Chiefs. The Super Bowl was the latest chapter.

 The Mike Evans holding was the other way around. That wpuld have been a retarded call in a season 1 Jets vs Jags game... and more so in the big game

The bottom line is this in Brady’s last 2 Super Bowl games his defense has allowed an average of 6 pts per game.  A bum QB can win a game when his defense is holding the opposing team to 6 total points. He’s the luckiest athlete in the history of the world. I’ve never seen anything like him. 

Get over it brady the GOAT end of story

Tampa dominated the game and credit to the team.  I did not take a side (just the under and a bunch of props).  But the flags got out of hand.  Yes you can argue that most of these could be justified enough, but there were plenty that were pretty soft and it is clear that the refs backed off at half time.  It absolutely changes the dynamic of the game, and again, you can have a team be clearly better but also get help, which is what we saw, whether intentional or not.  BTW, In 10 Superbowls Brady's team has had more penalty yards once (05 vs Eagles).  Not sure if that is just a Patriots thing or a Brady mystique thing or both but remember that if/when he gets back to SB

How dare you mention this and not mention them lining up in the TB backfield trying to block a fg 

how could the refs call offsides on that play??? The Fix versus Kelce payback is the only explanation 

The league gives the public donkey society 2 full weeks to research the final game...i knew about this ref's history with KC and Kelce from when it actually happened...the moment the reffing crew for this game was announced, that should have been one of the first angles Scal could have digged into...instead here he is with a pity party "i cant believe it snows in Wyoming in November" type thread.

I think the real reason Bb/Scal is bitter is because of that blonde line judge woman working the game got so much praise and screentime
