Joe Namath, the hero of the New York Jets’ Super Bowl victory in 1969, returned to the national stage on Sunday to conduct the pre-game coin toss for this year’s Super Bowl festivities. But there was just one problem: He (and possibly the ref, too) messed it up.He obviously was drunk because he was slurring and making no sense. He later apologized and said he was drinking since three that day and was embarrassed. This Super Bowl he was chosen to toss the coin to decide who received the ball first. I don’t know why they chose him after his last appearance, but here goes. Namath was then involved in an awkward coin toss. After being introduced and handed the coin, Namath got a little ahead of referee Terry McAulay. Namath flipped the coin before the Seahawks could make their call. McAulay reacted quickly and grabbed the coin before it could drop.
That was totally the refs fault
