Quite an honor. I wasn't sure he was quite top-of-the-line Super Bowl quality, but knew he was solid. Guess it's his turn. Kinda surprised it happened this year after the coin flip, but I guess he handled that about as well as he could have. As the announcers said, he couldn't repeat that first non-flip if he tried.
It will be the highlight of his professional career. I'm glad he's getting the opportunity.

If the Broncos don't make it to the super bowl our streak of players on super bowl teams would end. Can we still count it with Clete reffing?
Bottom line is he caught his mistake... He is one of the best in the business with out any question.
Paid his dues and deserves his chance. I've known clete for forty years and is just a great guy, happy for him and his father would have been pretty proud if he could have been alive to see this. Bottom line in the NFL nothing is given to you so he must have proved over time he is one of the best
I laugh out loud every time I see this clip. How does that happen? Flying saucer analogy is perfect.Just make sure the coin rotates in the air. No flying saucer looking stuff any more. Laughing
