He is dressed and at the ready on the sidelines. I'm not sure if he goes up and down the field with them or stands in one location.
As a guy who's been an alternate for a game, it is pretty wierd. I found myself doing little things to be 'in the game' in case anybody went down. I would say the down and distance to myself before each play, as well as the time on the clock. I would look at tendencies by each team based on down and distance and would watch what the officials were doing as far as initial position and how they covered the play as it unfolded to see if there was something they did that I could pick up. The only spot I knew I wouldn't be going in as was the R, so I kept my eyes on everyone except him. |

He is a little beyond his glory days, still wears the byron collar,(for non BBall guys that is a no no) but he goes a lot of places looking like he works at foot locker LOL |

Both of my assignors (I was a dual member with another association) knew my cell phone number and e-mail address. I literally would sit in a 9am computer progrmaming class and receive an e-mail if I could do a 3pm double header. It was great! I was rewarded for my dedication. |

Get well soon, Bernie! |
was it last year or the year before he worked the Super Bowl? Anyways I hear he rated 100 for the entire season. That is impressive.

The alternate is dressed on the sideline, near the chain crew, wearing a jacket. While you might feel a little funny standing there, dressed, and knowing you probably won't get to work, it beats watching the game from your own couch!

A bit of trivia.
Former NFL Director or Officials, Jerry Seeman, was the alternate in a Superbowl and did come in and work when one of the on-field officials was injured. It was Jerry's last game on the field. |
