After watching Corrente butcher roughing the passer calls all year, I'm amazed they would put him in such a high profile game,( everyone makes a mistake, but he seemed to do it often) and risk another
PR issue. He seems to do well other that he doesn't have good judgement on roughing the passer. I'm sorry, I just don't see him as a top ten referee, let alone doing the Super bowl. TMO
Maybe this is the year the NFL wants Manning to get his championship?
Total arbitrary ranking of NFL officials. Take it for what its worth. But I found it interesting.
