Gene Steratore to ref Super Bowl [update:retires from NFL]

[SHOWTIME15]

IMO he deserves it...

**** was hoping Vinovich again. Could see Steratore playing to the home crowd a little if it’s the vikings

 

[jri37]

Steratore likes the limelight more than Hochuli.

Stop. We aren’t getting screwed by the refs

 

[Joker]

Not yet....

The refs usually let things go in the Super Bowl because too many flags make for bad TV. It is by far the most watched sporting event in the world.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Steratore is a pretty good ref. Definitely deserves it.

Weird though, because honestly from what I saw, this was not his best officiating season, but hey, he’s a good choice.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Got no problem with that. That’s a good draw if the Patriots get the win Sunday.

 

[Observer]

Good ref. There is some logic in the NFL still. Or is it a case of a broken clock being correct twice a day?

 

[pctronics0072]

Only ref that I think is better is vinovixh...am I missing anyone?

 

[Chris Stevenson]

Steratore likes the limelight more than Hochuli.

He a absolutely does. SO does babe.

Wrolstad is really good, imo. Not s big fan of steratore. He loves the tight shirt middle aged man metrosexual thing. Kind of pathetic, really.

 

[VectorPrime]

It's fine.

 

[Wheelman]

**** me! Not Steratore! Hope he swears with his mic on again.

**** me! Not Steratore! Hope he swears with his mic on again.

Pretty sure that was tony corrente...

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

He must have won the rock, paper, scissors competition.....

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

I don't remember if it was him or someone on his crew that had the inadvertent whistle that killed a big Amendola play.

Potential Pats TD play spoiled by inadvertent whistle

 

[DarrylS]

Is the obsession with NFL Ref assignments new?? As much as fans whine and ***** from my big comfy couch it all seems to even out..

Great teams with great coaching overcome just about every barrier...

 

[supafly]

Yep. We could do much worse than Mean Gene Steratore.

 

[Huckleberry1]

It’s not Clete, it’s not Hochuli, and there’s one more I’m forgetting, but it’s not him either. If they get there Steratore is a good choice.
