Most flags?
I keep hearing coments about the most flags thrown. If evaluators are looking at each play and from what I understand they do, it does not matter who throws the most flags but who throws the most flags that should be thrown. I fail to see how number of flags thrown can be perceived as determining the quality of the officiating!

Has Tony worked a playoff game this season as the white hat? I know that I have missed a couple of the games, so that is why I was wondering?
Normally, Super Bowl officiating invites are only given to officials that I have rounds prior to the conference championship games. If my information is wrong, please feel free to correct me and give correct information. |

I'm attending a national officiating conference last this year and there's a rumour that the guest speaker is Jerry Seeman.
I've met Red Cashion and now perhaps Jerry Seeman. Looking forward to it... |

REPLY: Don't recall seeing this posted yet on this board, but here is the crew for the Super Bowl. A friend of mine who works for the NFL confirmed it. If it's already been posted, pardon the duplication...
R-Hochuli U-Rice H-Hittner L-Montgomery F-Sifferman S-Hayes B-Green Alt.-Carollo Alt.-Quirk Alt.-Lovett Replay-Hill

It's funny that Carollo is alternate for Hochuli at the superbowl because last year their roles were reversed with Hochuli the alternate and Carollo the R. I guess the NFL clearly sees those two guys as the top Referees in the league.

Question
Just a question, and I realize hind sight is 20-20, but wouldn't the Super Bowl official most likely had to have been Ed Hochuli? Here's why: I figure, like many have said, that the NFL wants to use crews that have already worked a playoff game in the first two rounds. But like the regular season, they probably don't want to have referees officiating games involving the same team in a short time period. In otherwords, Carolina advancing to the Super Bowl elminated 3 referees (Coleman, Carey, and, course, Kukar). New England advancing eliminated 1 more referee (Carollo) [Coleman did second game]. That left four officials who worked playoff games that didn't involve a team in the Super Bowl; Jeff Triplette (TEN-BAL), Johnny Grier (DEN-IND), Gerry Austin (KC-IND), and Hochuli (PHI-GB). Now I would contend, as some have on this board, that Grier had a bad year and I was surprised he got a playoff game. Triplette is a relatively inexperienced referee; Austin, while very good, has worked two Super Bowls in the last five or so years. Now while none of this really matters, and I am sure there is no reason a referee who hasn't worked since the regular season couldn't work the Super Bowl, if I were a betting man, Ed Hochuli would have been my choice as soon as Carolina beat Philadelphia.
I apologize if any part of this post repeats anything that someone else may have posted. I haven't had a chance to read all the previous posts. |
