PrintYesterday, the NFL announced the official Super Bowl officials for Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. We're a day behind, but thought we'd pass on the word to you anyways. The official press release:
Referee JOHN PARRY will lead the seven-man crew of game officials selected to work Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday between the New York Giants and New England Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium, the NFL announced today.
The other members of the Super Bowl XLVI officiating crew are CARL PAGANELLI (umpire), TOM STABILE (head linesman), GARY ARTHUR (line judge), GARY CAVALETTO (field judge), LAIRD HAYES (side judge) and TONY STERATORE (back judge). The Super Bowl XLVI officiating crew collectively has 94 years of NFL officiating experience and 69 combined playoff game assignments.
Parry, in his 12th season as an NFL game official, served as the side judge in Super Bowl XLI. Promoted to referee in 2007, he has officiated nine playoff games - one Super Bowl, one Conference Championship, six Divisional playoffs and one Wild Card game.
Under the NFL officiating program's evaluation system, the highest-rated eligible officials at each position earn the right to work the Super Bowl. Super Bowl officials must have at least five years of NFL experience and previous playoff assignments.
LARRY NEMMERS is the replay assistant. The video operator is LOU NAZZARO.
What do you think of this crew?

Some people can learn from the mistakes of others, while some people need to pee on the electric fence themselves.
Belichick is looking for a new name for his boat: VI Rings sounds pretty good.

Head Linesman, Tom Stabile, is the guy that got 4th and 2 wrong, IMO:
His first Super Bowl.

Lou Nazzaro is on the wrong side of the camera to get his picture taken.

Wasn't Steratore the head guy for the Denver game?
If so, I like him. All business. Looks pissed off when someone calls something BS.
A couple of these guys have brothers who are refs.

I love Gene Steratore. My favorite referee.
He worked the Pats/Jets Round II game this year. When there was a fumble, he got down and dirty, jumped right into the pile to see who had possession, came out with a bloody nose, and just made the call like it was nothing. He always means business. He’s also one of the few refs who will take the extra few seconds to really explain why a call is what it is. More refs need to be like him.
He was the referee, though, who called the MegaTron “touchdown” a “non-touchdown.” Although the NFL backed him and said he made the right call, he’ll live in infamy for that call. He shouldn’t have to be remembered by that though. Great referee.
