** Superbowl XL Crew **

[Snake~eyes]

It's no playoff game but it pays the same and you get to spend some time in Hawaii.

My vote is with Carey...

[ABoselli]

I'm pretty sure I would have been notified by now if I had been assigned to the game.

Oh well.

So what's the thought about a PB assignment? Myself, I never liked getting All-Star games. Some times it felt like a consolation bone. What's the thought in the NFL? Anyone know?

Gotta admit - as consolation bones go, there are worse ones than Hawaii.

The only question now is "Which ones will be reprimanded for the worst officiating in Super Bowl History?"

(You gotta admit....)

So you're saying those officials made absolutely no mistakes? They were perfect in this game? (Perhaps you didn't actually see the game?)

well I have actually looked pretty closely at my post, and I don't see anywhere that says they were absolutely perfect... I did indeed see the game...and I can think of one call that was one I cannot agree with, the block below the waist on Hassleback....but this crew overall did a very good job...without looking at your address are you from the pacific northwest??? LOL

(Not from Pacific Northwest or a Seahawks a fan, if that's what you're saying. Go Dolphins!)

Seriously, you think this crew did a good job? I guess we have different standards then.

Do you think the official made the right call on Sean Locklear's holding penalty in the fourth quarter, negating an 18-yard reception to the one-yard line by Jerramy Stevens?

No question. Hooked his right arm and almost took him down. Defender did go almost all the way down before getting back up. See the other thread.
