And that should never happen!”94.1 WIP’s Glenn Macnow called it “shameful,” while CBS3′s Pat Gallen called it “absolutely disgraceful.” Even Barkann’s colleague, former Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski, complained it was a “ticky-tack call.”Bradberry admitted he tugged on JuJu Smith-Schuster’s jersey.
