Stephen Colbert Has Ideas For Alternative To NFL Coin Toss
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- "We are rapidly approaching the happiest day of the year ladies and gentlemen...the Super Bowl," said Colbert.
Comedian and host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert will be hosting a live special after the Super Bowl in the coming weeks, but he recently kicked off his "pre-post-Super Bowl coverage" with a funny bit about some NFL officiating.
Last weekend's Packers-Cardinals game witnessed a crazy coin flip. So, Colbert went through his ideas for some things that might work better than an act as random as flipping a coin.
His choices are:
1. Spin the bottle (could include kissing the ref).
2. Guess how much a bottle of Crest toothpaste costs.
3. Each captain writes a 500-word essay on why their team deserves the ball first.
4. Use the Groundhog Day groundhog (like shadow or no shadow?)
5. Have a ref say he will cut the ball in half, then whichever team volunteers to give the ball to the other, is the ball's mother.
