Don Wedge was a referee for three years in the NFL. He was a deep wing for the rest of his career and worked Super Bowl 22 as a side judge. Here is Wedge's 1977 crew: R28 Wedge U20 Sinkovitz HL90 Mace LJ49 Look BJ41 Reed FJ83 O'Brien bit.ly/boWAFm |

Why only 3 years as ref?

Our historians of 1970s officiating rosters can weigh in, but I believe there were other candiates for referee that the front office wanted in and possibly Wedge's work was not up to par. Jerry Seeman replaced Wedge as Referee in 1979, and believe it or not, was the alternate referee at Super Bowl 14 -- his first year in at the position! |

The league felt he was better as a deep wing official.

I love the four pumps on the DPI call and the "touch the ground" bend at the waist on the offsetting fouls. Just goes to show how mechanics evolve.
