4DE Nation! We have a very fun interview for you! We spoke with retired NFL and Big 10 referee Tom Barnes. His experiences include 26 years as an NFL referee (44 years over his career) and 513 NFL games including 1 Super Bowl, 3 Pro Bowls, 6 Conference Championships, and 17 NFL Playoff games. This discussion has a fun twist to it as we talked special teams from a referee stand point and we loved his perspective on everything from punt coverage, possible KO elimination, and even controversial calls such as the ball flying over the top of field goal upright. We also discussed a variety of fun topics including his experience at Super Bowl 28 (1994) between the Bills and Cowboys, his 5 favorite athletes he enjoyed watching play and even his top 5 NFL and Big 10 stadiums to referee in. Once a referee, always a referee, as he still analyzes referees when watching the game from the living room! We loved this conversation and we hope you do too!
