Scott Green? What a surprise..He’s only been a ref for about 10 years, right? Hey Vet, did he ever ref the CC game? BTW, the change in the “push-out” rules really suck.I personally think that one should have been left the way it was..

StevenD January 23, 2010 at 10:04 am

I think it like this:

Morelli – Referee
Ellison – Umpire – Ron Winter
Hittner – Head Linesman – Ed Hochuli
Boston – Field Judge – Walt Anderson
Prioleau – Side Judge – Corrente
Hill – Side Judge – Ron Winter
Schmitz – Back Judge – Mike Carey
Alt: Ferrell/Meyer

Kenneth January 23, 2010 at 10:50 am

You’ve got SJ twice, one should be LJ…

StevenD January 23, 2010 at 5:29 pm

Sorry you are right. So Boston is a Line Judge and Prioleau would be the Field Judge I think.

StevenD January 23, 2010 at 10:06 am

I think it’s like this:

Morelli – Referee
Ellison – Umpire – Ron Winter
Hittner – Head Linesman – Ed Hochuli
Boston – Field Judge – Walt Anderson
Prioleau – Side Judge – Corrente
Hill – Side Judge – Ron Winter
Schmitz – Back Judge – Mike Carey
Alt: Ferrell/Meyer

Russ January 23, 2010 at 4:20 pm

Ellison is the swing umpire. He is not on one particular crew. Prioleau is from Green’s crew and Schmitz is from Morelli’s crew.

fbofshl January 24, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Gred Steed will be the BJ in the SB

Deb January 24, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Mike Carey, where’s Mike Carey? Is his team reffing the Super Bowl??? Hope So.

Matt Rafferty January 24, 2010 at 4:40 pm

Mike Carey was weak this year and will not be in the Super Bowl…you guys need to figure out that just because a guy talks a lot and sounds smart doesn’t make him great….but i will say the Super Bowl Ref Scott Green is far, very far from great

Dominic Ferrachi January 30, 2010 at 8:00 pm

The Greatest Ref is Gene Steratore!! I hear he is the alternate
ref for the Super Bowl! He should be THE referee. He calls a fair game, and he is excellent with the mic. It will be great to see him n Miami, again. And we all hope to see his better half, his HOT WIFE!

kevin S January 30, 2010 at 8:13 pm

I agree with all of the above. I saw Gene Steratore and his wife in the elevator in Miami. I wanted his autograph, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of his wife! But, he IS the best referee.

Kenneth January 24, 2010 at 4:43 pm

he is the alternate in the Colts-Jets game.

and in the NFl, its an All-Star crew, not one crew.

Matt Rafferty January 24, 2010 at 6:18 pm

I am aware of that Ken but im saying Mike Carey himself didn’t do very good this year…and seeing that it is an all star crew how the hell did Scott Green manage that

Kenneth January 24, 2010 at 7:46 pm

oh I was replying to Deb, and I do agree. he wasn’t great, but I think he still was top 10, and should’ve gotten a WC at least. I definitely agree that Green shouldn’t have SB.

fbofshl January 24, 2010 at 5:23 pm

I just wanted to let you know that your white hats are correct, but your crews are way off. I didnt know if you were using last years crew lists. If you want the names of the people on the games today, I can give them to you.

Roy1 January 24, 2010 at 8:20 pm

BJ on Morelli’s crew Bill Schmitz is the worse.

Roy1 January 24, 2010 at 9:37 pm

What a great job Tony Corrente and his crew did today. Was very please with them. On the other hand what a joke Pete Morelli and his crew was. His back judge and and side judge plain suck.

JOE83 January 24, 2010 at 11:07 pm

Russ, can you tell us who were the replay officials in Championship Games? I try to don’t critizice any Official but I think there were some mistakes in NFC CH.G. I know that Jim Lapentina is the RO of Morelli’s Crew. Was he in this game?. Thanks.

russ January 25, 2010 at 12:21 am

Replay Officials:

Jets@Colts- Tommy Moore (M. Carey)
Vikings@Saints- Ken Baker (Winter)

JOE83 January 25, 2010 at 12:39 am

Russ again thanks for your information. I’m waitinng for your SB info.

russ January 25, 2010 at 12:48 am

O yeah, forgot to poste this. LOL

Referee- Scott Green
Umpire- Undrey Wash (Cheffers)
HL- John McGrath (Corrente)
LJ- Jeff Seeman (Steratore)
SJ- Greg Meyer (D.Carey)
BJ- Greg Steed (McAulay)
FJ- Rob Vernatchi (Morelli)
ALT Referee- Gene Steratore

*I think the super bowl is in good hands. Besdies Green, who I hope will do well and get every ref basher on this site to SHUT UP, I love the Wash, McGrath, and Meyer picks and also think steed is good. Just not sure about Seeman or Vernatchi. Even though I hope Green does well, Steratore probably should be the super bowl ref.

JOE83 January 25, 2010 at 10:43 pm

Thanks Russ. Please let us know who will be the R.O. in the Pro Bowl and the same for the Super Bowl. Good information once again. Thanks.

Renshaw January 27, 2010 at 1:06 pm

Thank you for the information Russ. I think Scott Green and the crew will do an excellent job. NFL officials get bashed a lot but overall they do an outstanding job.

Jan February 7, 2010 at 6:40 pm

Russ I toally agree with you
Jan

Patrick Bell January 25, 2010 at 4:02 pm

This is the Super Bowl crew;

R- Scott Green 19
U-Undrey Wash 96
HL- John McGrath 5
FJ- Jeff Seeman 15
LJ- Ron Vernatchi 75
SJ- Greg Meyer 78
BJ- Greg Steed 12

Donny January 26, 2010 at 10:51 pm

I am shocked that Terry McAulay did not get a playoff game. I can remember rating him when he did high school JV games and I knew from the start that he was destined to be one of the greatest referees ever. He has a great work etic, and a most pleasant personality, and a strict command of the rules. For a guy almost 50, he is in fabulous shape, and it wouldn’t hurt my feelings to see him do the Super Bowl EVERY year.

Vet January 27, 2010 at 1:18 pm

Super Bowl Crew:

R – Green
U – Wash
HL – McGrath
LJ – Seeman
FJ – Vernatchi
SJ – Meyer
BJ – Steed

zech January 27, 2010 at 4:15 pm

Scott green super bowl ref

larryg January 27, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Super Bowl refs will be announce some time next week for security reasons…..

Renshaw January 27, 2010 at 5:39 pm

what? Russ already announced them.

larryg January 27, 2010 at 6:27 pm

Hemay have some inside info which is good because we all would like to know who it is, but because of security reason, the league for some time won’t publicly announce the assignments until less than a week away from the game. Seven officials plus two alt. Good luck to all of them. they deserve it.

Thad January 29, 2010 at 3:17 pm

Why does it say TBS for super bowl referee? Scott Green has already been selected.

Chuck in Indy January 30, 2010 at 10:51 pm

Who are the replay officials for the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl?

russ January 31, 2010 at 11:53 pm

for the pro bowl it was Al Hynes (Parry) and IDK about the super bowl.

Falcon Fan February 2, 2010 at 7:33 pm

According to Adam Schefter, SCOTT GREEN will be referee for the Super Bowl.

Stuart February 3, 2010 at 10:36 am

Wikipedia has Scott Green listed as the R for Super Bowl XLIV. Any confirmation on that?

larryg February 3, 2010 at 5:29 pm

League finally confirm the selection today, the ones that have been posted here…….

Frank February 3, 2010 at 6:47 pm

Did see on nfl.com that Scott Green will referee the Super Bowl

larryg February 3, 2010 at 10:02 pm

Green is the ref. It was release by the league on nfl.com at 1:00 pm eastern time……

Jan February 5, 2010 at 10:56 am

Who is officiating the SuperBowl? When will that be poted?
Jan

Chuck in Indy February 5, 2010 at 8:42 pm

Jim Lapentina is the RO for the SB

JOE83 February 5, 2010 at 11:10 pm

Thanks for the info, now is complete the Crew. Or anyone knows if there is another alternate Official?

russ February 8, 2010 at 12:04 am

alternates were:
Referee-Gene Steratore
Umpire-Ruben Fowler (Riveron)
HL-Jim Mello (Winter)
SJ-Jeff Lamberth (Cheffers)
BJ-Kirk Dornan (Hochuli)

JOE83 February 8, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Russ: thanks for your complete information and hope next season could give all you some accurate info of my friend Laird Hayes SJ 125 Crew

Chuck In Indy February 6, 2010 at 11:22 pm

In many ways people forget about history. Back in the 70s & 80s there were very few “elite”" NFL crews. In the 70s: Jim Tunney, Norm Schachter, BenDreith, Pat Haggerty, and Dick Jorgensen (the 1st ref ever to annouce penalties during the game). In the 80s, Pat Haggerty, Jim Tunney, Dick Jorgensen, Jerry Markbreit, and Bob McElwee. These few officials handled every big game the NFL had for the week with no weeks off.

Instead of bashing the officials, be glad that there are now more crews than ever to handle the games they are assigned.

Jan February 7, 2010 at 6:44 pm

Chuck in Indy
I agree with you.
Jan

Chuck In Indy February 6, 2010 at 11:33 pm

In the 70s I forgot to add Tommy Bell.

Kenneth February 7, 2010 at 10:33 pm

For all the hating that I did on Scott Green getting the game, I thought he did great. He let them play, while calling what should’ve been. The review of the two point conv was a great call.

John 2 February 7, 2010 at 10:52 pm

Agreed Kenneth.

Bill Gordon L. Stafford February 9, 2010 at 8:21 pm

Best thing about the Super Bowl was Officials they called a super game!!

JOE83 July 14, 2010 at 11:21 pm

Can anyone let me know when the 2010 crews will be availables or when this page will be updated. Thanks in advance. Joe83
