NBC Sports Philadelphia Host Curses Out Super Bowl Refs on Live TV
The Philadelphia Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 in a thrilling contest. The game came down to a controversial late penalty call Eagles fans are not happy about. NBC Sports Philadelphia's Michael Barkann was especially ticked after the game.
During his station's post-Super Bowl coverage, Barkann went off on the NFL's officials for that late call. He called it "bullsh*t" on live TV while his three co-hosts looked on stoically.

Yeah, that's a strong take.
The call was certainly borderline, but Eagles cornerback James Bradberry has come out and admitted he held JuJu Smith-Schuster on that late third down play. I get that it's a tough one for Eagles fans to swallow though.
