What if Brady starts to toss the coin, changes his mind, and drops it. Will it count or will they have to do it over?

The Refs will look at it on instant replay.

This is so stinking funny,what an insult to Seattle and Pittsburg. The big game, their chance to shine and all the sudden"Oh by the way, America just loves that Tom Brady, so he will be the center of attention just prior to kickoff!!" THIS IS WHEN EVERYONE IS TUNED IN! Catch that first funny comercial, see who wins the coin toss bet, and get your fix of a Patriot during the big game.Somebody needs to ask Joey Porter what he thinks aout Tom Brady doing the coin toss. Porter could very well level him before he gets to midfield.

Porter wouldn't live to play the Super Bowl.

Very crappy thing for the NFL to do.

Have to agree. With all of the great former players, why would you bring in Brady to do this? Why not a former Lion like Barry Sanders or Mike Utley?

 

[Davej626]

The best thing is that his QB rating will be better than both Roest and Hasslebeck's. And thats with an incomplete for one pass.

I didnt think they used a heads and tails coin for the super bowl dont they have a coin with the two teams logos on it and which ever is face up gets to pick if they want offense or defense.

They always tell you which side of the coin represents heads, and which represents tails....that is how the refs messed it up a few years ago.
