Title: NFL but not Rule related 1st Female in Super Bowl
Post by: Covid 22 on January 19, 2021, 02:31:53 PM
I see that the NFL will have a female DJ for the Super Bowl.  I have watched her in several games lately and was impressed with her performance.  I don't know that she is better than 60% of the officials I know but congratulations on the honor.

Just to be clear, I have not been watching her intentionally but when a wing official pops onto the screen and a pony tail is bouncing around, it is hard to miss.   On one play this weekend, there was a play OOB and she hustled to the spot and then proceeded to officiate off the field (very professionally).  But the part that was the best was as she took her first steps toward the players in the team area, she dropped a beanbag exactly where it should have been. 

I was wondering if anybody knew how many years she has been officiating besides the four in the NFL.

Started HS in 1996.  CUSA in 2006.  NFL in 2015.

I'm trying to decide if you're saying that she isn't good enough to be where she is, or that 60% of the officials you know are qualified to work a Super Bowl. Either way, that's a bold take.

Probably overstated at 60%.  She is good and deserving.

What games I've seen her work, she never seems to do anything that would lead her or the crew into trouble.  Her work appears to always be solid.
