And the Head Super Bowl Referee is ...
Jerome Boger

Interesting article. I suspect a lot of "politics" go into stuff like this, and yet I suspect that guy's who don't get picked do have an axe to grind, so who knows?
Just a point of information - Can you describe the actual business set-up/relationship/etc., on the officials? Are they employees of the NFL? Does the NFL provide the assessments and subsequent grading? Are the officials covered by the terms of the (what I assumed was an NFL players') CBA? IS there a link somewhere that draws the big picture?
Thanks...

I'm just glad it's not Winter or Triplette.
Doesn't look like the Ravens have played a game under Boger since 2010 - home win over Denver.
A couple in 2007 and 2008 as well.
San Francisco have had him twice this year - wins over Buffalo and their game against GB in the playoffs.
Don't know enough about him as a ref.
Re: And the Head Super Bowl Referee is ...
We stuffed Denver in 2010 with him as a ref, doesn't have much history with the Ravens. Probably a good thing.
Re: And the Head Super Bowl Referee is ...
Thought refs weren't allowed to do teams they previous did in the same postseason?

Merci beaucoup! Looks like I'll do some reading/researching today in lieu of watching the Ravens. Appreciate the site/link referral.

Boger, yeah that is good I think. But what about the rest of the crew.
