Yes, I can see what you're saying, I would too. My problem is with the coin flip not the attendance.
If the NFL was convinced that they wanted an ACTIVE member of the NFL to toss the coin (which doesn't make any sense anyway) then Branch is the most logical choice since he was the last MVP. Not Brady. Branch would only make slightly more sense than Brady, either way they should have picked a retired legend to flip it.
I'm not pissed or angry about it, I don't hate it... I just don't like it much.
