does anyone know who the refs for the Super Bowl ? Is it hand picked or is it team that has worked all year together?

Terry McAulay...
His crew called three times more illegal blocks in the back in 2006 than any other crew. Last time he was in action saw the controversial non-call for delay of game for Baltimore in their game against Tennessee.
Found this at a Steelers forum:
* Referee: 77 - Terry McAulay
* Umpire: 102 - Bruce Stritesky
* Head Linesman: 48 - Jim Mello
* Line Judge: 84 - Mark Steinkerchner
* Field Judge: 80 - Greg Gautreaux
* Side Judge: 72 - Michael Banks
* Back Judge: 133 - Steve Freeman
