Tom Brady to flip coin at Super Bowl - New England Patriots Forums

I haven't seen it anywhere linkable, but on several message boards folks are saying the NFL announced that Tom Brady will flip the coin.

Not that I care one way or the other, but ummm... what's the deal with that?

Strange if true!

Why? Wouldn't they reserve that for when he retires and is a HOFer???

Seems werid to me.

No, the other boards just want brady there if there is going to be that terrorist attack that was reported earlier this week on this board...

Yea , that doesn't pass the 'what the F" test. It might be true. But why would they ask him and why would he accept if asked?

I dont think it's just him, I think all 39 super bowl mvp's will be on hand before the game, he wont be flipping the coin though..

I find it hard to believe, particularly since he hasn't had a lot of "luck" with refs and coin tosses in the past!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... that makes way more sense.

EDIT: Reiss is now reporting it with no mention of the other MVPs. I'm back to thinking this is strange.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will participate in the coin toss prior to Super Bowl XL in Detroit, the league announced on the NFL Network today.

In announcing Brady's role with the coin toss, NFL officials noted he will become the first active, non-participating player to be involved with the coin toss.

With the Super Bowl being held in Detroit, it will be a homecomeing of sorts for Brady, who played at the University of Michigan.

I have no idea why I hate it, but I hate this. Maybe Brady just wants the same thing Bill wants. To see the Superbowl from the outside.. maybe as a reminder to what it feels like to be there as motivation for next season since they're not participating. It's still weird though.

Maybe Tom and Bill are secretly planning to gank the Lombardi while no one is looking?

So Brady and BB will both be at the Super Bowl. I guess it's just force of habit.

For some reason this makes me want to puke.
