Has anybody heard and/or read about who the NFL has selected to work this year's Super Bowl?

I don't know but with the replay fiasco the past three weeks they will surly be underpaid >

What replay fiasco would that be?

replays are overturning on the field calls to easily . The New England / Raiders fumble-pass & two pass plays in New England / Pittsburg are three examples that are fresh in my mind . On all three plays the Officials were in great position to make the call. They got into position by working to get there . I believe their field call should stand . Do they get it right 100% . No Do replays get it right 100 % of the time ? NO . If the owners want to replay , replay each play and remove the Officials from the field . Teach a TV Tech the signals and let him relay info. and spot balls . I'll watch High School and College games .

OK. As officials we all know our average is relatively high compared to baseball batting averages or football quarterback passing averages. In other words, we can't call them all right but we do pretty good.

So, while you talk about what you consider bad plays identified by replay how about the one in the Pittsburgh-New England game where it was ruled a fumble. The usually clueless broadcasters said it could not be overturned.

But, Ed Hochuli did an excellent job in his ninety seconds of finding the helmet of the runner hit the ground before the fumble.

Who would have thought it?
