Never saw a coin flip from an active player before, either. Did you ever stop to consider that the coin flip went AGAINST Pittsburgh? Thanks for the losing coin toss, now I want to shake your hand.
Ease up on the "Greatest Disrespect Ever" theory. The refs were in control for the flip and were directing everyone back to their bench. It was not some well thought out orchestrated event. It was more like unorginized chaos, just like they called the game.
Seattle won the toss and the ball. Of course they were glad to shake his hand.
