MIAMI (Ticker) - Tony Corrente has been bestowed with his first Super Bowl assignment as a referee. The NFL announced Wednesday that Corrente, who is concluding his 12th season as a game official, will head the seven-man crew of game officials selected to work Super Bowl XLI between the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. Corrente served as the alternate referee for last year's Super Bowl between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks. The rest of the Super Bowl XLI officiating crew will consist of umpire Carl Paganelli, linesman George Hayward, line judge Rod Marinucci, field judge Jim Saracino, side judge John Parry and back judge Perry Paganelli. The Paganelli's are the first set of brothers ever assigned to officiate a Super Bowl. Under the NFL's officiating program's evaluation system, the highest-rated officials at each position with the appropriate experience earn the right to work the Super Bowl. Officials must have five years of experience and previous playoff assignments. Mark Burns is the replay assistant and will be working his second Super Bowl. Jeff Triplette, Butch Hannah, Carl Johnson, Buddy Horton and Rich Reels will serve as alternate officials.

He is for the Colts. He emailed me telling me so.

Edited to say that he probably read this and makes sure he sides the Bears.

Depends on how the players play. If the players foul, we will see flags. If the players play like the 2 best teams should play, then we won't see flags.
 
Officiating crews are just like any other team.

Why oh why for the SuperBowl would you have officials who don't work together all year call the biggest game together.

Why can't they just have the highest rated CREW instead.

I bet we would see MUCH better officiating...

They did that 2 or 3 years ago. It did not matter. They needed to substitute some on the crew anyway because they were not qualified. (5 years experience needed to do SB) If you are going to sub 1 official, then why not make it the best offficial at each position.All crews should be following the same mechanics, so it should not matter. I work with many different crews in my games. It seems to work just fine. We all follow the same mechanics. We have pregame meetings(much shorter than the NFL pregames)

Yeah... Just like last year...It was obviously the players that were to blame for all those appropriate (Read: BS) calls, or non-calls.
 
Eh you know how it goes, He'll miss obvious calls, wait til the game's on the line and then call a shady pass interference or off sides to change the entire outcome of the game.
