Fabulous Fumble of the Week - Bill Leavy
We move outside of the pure political arena to present this week's Fabulous Fumble Award to Bill Leavy, referee at this year's Super Bowl, who creatively called Sean Locklear for holding while Matt Hasselback hit Jerramy Stephens on a pass play to the one yard line. Assuming the Seahawks scored they would have taken the lead with about 10 minutes left in the game.
Granted everyone makes mistakes, but this was bigger than big, especially coming from someone who it supposed to be one of the best referees in the NFL. In fact the officating was absolutely horrible from a Seattle perspective. I cannot remember when so many bad calls favored one team. It was very embarrassing. And Bill Leavy was the number one embarrassment of all.
