Ron Torbert Announced as Referee for Super Bowl 59
 

No Blakeman or Cheffers…can someone find the Chiefs record with Torbert as ref?

Of course the first comment is about how he gave the Chiefs a do-over on third down against the Bengals.

I love how those dorks have convinced themselves it was a pivotal play that completely changed the tide or outcome of the game. There's no point in trying to explain the context, they've already made up their minds. Now, I just grab my proverbial beer mug to catch and savor their tears with a healthy dose of schadenfreude.

Torbert seems nice.

Triplette or Torbert?

His crew in the Rams-Bengals super bowl made a phantom pass interference call on the Bengals DB with minutes to go in the game...they also missed the facemask on Tee Higgins earlier in the game.

He seems nice.

That's funny. I'm pretty sure it was Torbert's crew that gave some major pass interference calls to help Cincy in their 2021 regular season victory against the Chiefs. Yep, found it. Scroll all the way to the bottom...

Torbert is the king of the official in red stripes meme. His expressions are priceless. Love it.

They even picked the right color for the official announcement.

You gotta love it.

I see bright red, burgundy, and yellow....Chiefs vs. Commanders?
