Analysts and fans say a bogus defensive holding call gave the Chiefs an extra chance at the end of the game.

And this is not the the first Super Bowl decided by the referees. Pittsburgh vs Seattle. The Pittsburgh players couldn't believe the poor officiating. Especially the last "touchdown" that never crossed the line.

The Officials decided the End of Game A Great Game, Not the Players. This will always be Shadow over Super Bowl 57 Kansas City Chiefs Victory. ( Bad Call)

I'm not a fan of either but this is now the 2nd Superbowl in a row decided by the refs . . .not the teams

Patrick Simmons

That ruined the players deciding the game!

The call was the call and the Chiefs subsequently won the game.

Eagles' James Bradberry admits to committing late-debated penalty: 'It was a holding'

Julie Borkowski

We are a society of "it's someone else's fault!" always looking to blame our own inadequacies on everything but ourselves. The Eagles were out-played. Besides the Chiefs had their share of bad and missed calls, but no one is going to say anything about that.

That's how blue cities work, tax, tax, tax, and tax some more.

Tax to the MAX. Tax till you drop, and it still don't stop!

I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

This is what Columbia just voted in. Great job!!!!

Debbie Neate

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Susanna Johnson Kettlewell

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Allan German

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

Zaos Gonzolez

The recorder of deeds salary alone is over $96,000!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY INSANE. Most of us can never even imagine that amount of money.

Will Mason

Not until after ALL avenues for budget cuts have been explored Taxes are too high already.

Zaos Gonzolez

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
