Super Bowl winners John Elway, Lynn Swann and Roger Craig will take part in the coin toss for the Feb. 1 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.

Swann starred in title games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s, Craig for the San Francisco 49ers in the 1980s, and Elway won consecutive Super Bowls in 1998 and 1999 with the Denver Broncos. Swann and Elway are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Another Hall of Famer, former Jets quarterback Joe Namath, will participate in the presentation of the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation following the game. Namath led the Jets to the 1969 Super Bowl championship.

Ironically the best QB on the Field won't be throwing a pass.

Will Namath be sober by the end of the game?

I wonder why they have Elway and Craig and not one or two guys from the Cardinals SB team back in the 40s or maybe a member of Tillman's family! No big deal though!

My guess is that their probaly ain't a lot of guys left from that team seeing as it was 60 years ago...and that is a little weird, that they didn't have a huge thing for Pat's family to do. :confused:

I don't expect many are left, but the reason I asked because ESPN was interviewing on of the guys from that Cardinals team.

Oh, interesting. How old was he? Has to be getting into his 90's...

Not sure! But I would assume he'd be late 70s to late 80s. You could probably find the interview on ESPN.com, it was two days ago!

I caught a little bit of that. I can't remember who the player was talking about, but he said one of the players hated the leather helmets so he played with his ball cap instead.

Ha! I guess men were men back then......

I wonder what the commisioner would do if he took Jim Thorpe's place as the head man back then? Destroy the league for violence? :lol:

He should reenact the famous helicopter dive just before flipping the coin.

Elway ftw.

If Elway flips the coin it might not ever come down. That, or rain will start to fall! ;)
