Vet Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Anyone else notice that the kid didn't even flip the coin? He just kind of flung it and it didn't even flip over once, just landed on the ground the same way it was sitting in his hand. Tough spot to put a 10 year old kid. I suggest next year they have an adult flip the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yeah, I saw that as well. Coin went straight up and straight down, never turning over. Not only should they have an adult flip it but lets try and keep the coin toss to less then 300 people next time. It's getting ridiculous.

LegFuJohnson Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 It really was a disgrace. Lots of people have money on that coin toss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yup ... I commented on it last night ... come on somebody show the kid how to flip the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithkt Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 6 people at my house watching the game. We all looked at each other and wondered if maybe they should flip it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Looked like a frisbee toss.... Seems like the NFL is trying to fill its 'Nice Gesture' quota. Cmon - leave something like that to adults.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_bone65 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I won $20 on that coin toss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 That was absolutely ridiculous. have the kid hand the coin to ref but it's the frickin super bowl for god's sakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I won 200 on that toss and I suggest bringing that kid back next year to try again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trrhyne Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 It is a coin toss not a coin flip. The only requirement is to toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 hmmm...did anybody read the story in the paper this morning about some 10 yr. old kid cashing in a $50K winning ticket on the coin toss yesterday? He correctly picked tails... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I'm not going to bag on a kid, but shouldn't you have the dexterity at 10 to flip a coin? I know it's commemorative and somewhat oversized, but come on. Fine, I lied. Bagging on 10 year old is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I saw it, I was screaming at the tv. my chick didn't understand the big deal. I thought Brusci was gonna rip that kids throat out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgcoach Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I won $100.00 on the flip and think the kid did a great job. Bring him back next year, just as long as I know how it will sit in the kids hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimshim Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 What if you lie on the ground and toss it one inch with imparting any rotation? Is that acceptable? 687793[/snapback] Too funny but that is practically what happenned. The kid was about 10 inches tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yup ... I commented on it last night ... come on somebody show the kid how to flip the coin. 687706[/snapback] My thoughts exactly. How hard is it to teach a kid how to flip a coin and then have him practice it a few times!! I mean...COME ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Face Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) Anyone else notice that the kid didn't even flip the coin? He just kind of flung it and it didn't even flip over once, just landed on the ground the same way it was sitting in his hand. Tough spot to put a 10 year old kid. I suggest next year they have an adult flip the coin. 687694[/snapback] I know! I saw that and was freaking cracking up!! whew....anyway, it doesn't really matter if he flipped it or not because no one knew ahead of time that he couldn't flip worth a d@mn.

Ralph Furley Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 It's not like it didn't flip when it hit the ground. Bad toss...yes. Overreaction...yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Wasn't he 7 or 8? He's lucky his hand wasn't shaking so much that he couldn't hold on to the coin. Give him a break, Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 You guys are pathetic. You're bagging on a kid because of how he flipped a coin. Why don't you go pick on ugly tuna or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Would you guys be so pissy if it would have rotated too fast? Seriously, the objective of a coin flip, is to have a 'fair' way to determine who gets the ball first...the main variables are wind speed, total distance the coin travels (from hand, to apex, to ground), the weight of the coin, and the rotation speed of the coin... And, given the very nature of a variable, the actual value can range from "zero" to "a whole bunch"... And, in this case, the variable for "coin rotations per second" equalled zero. What's the big deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrick35 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 This thread is quite possibly the most ludicrous I have ever seen on a Huddle.com forum. Did the coin flip? I have no idea. I didn't even watch the coin TOSS. But whether it flipped or not there were only 2 possible outcomes, heads or tails. But either way how can it have been so earth shattering as to have caused such a reaction? The kid could have made that dang coin flip 1000 times during that 1 toss and it probably would have landed the same side up as it did anyway, get over it for Gods sake.

Easy n Dirty Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 He sucks and should never be allowed to do anything ever again. 688920[/snapback] And JRick,where's the avatar? We do look forward to those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
