Let's dispense with the juicy stuff before we get to the meat of this report.
Clete Blakeman is the NFL's designated referee for Super Bowl 50, a game between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers. It is an undeniable fact that Blakeman has been the referee for five Broncos games since he became a referee in 2010, and that the Broncos are 5-0 in those games -- including one in the 2013 divisional playoffs.
It's also impossible to dispute that Super Bowl 50 will be the second consecutive game the Broncos have played with a referee under whom they have an extended glistening record.
