Someday, when I'm commissioner of the NFL, I'm going to ask the Franklin Mint or NASA or somebody to make me a thousand coin-shaped objects, with one side only having a large H and the other a large T. I am then going to state that on all coin tosses, the coin shall not be moved from the ground until the referee and one captain from each team verify the result of the coin toss.

If you didn't see the Pats-Fins overtime, you missed the Pats saying that the ref blew the toss by mis-recognizing the side of the coin (the Pats called tails and seemed to believe that's what came up). They survived this and a drive-sustaining catch where the wideout both stepped out of bounds before getting the ball and had one foot go out of bounds when catching the ball (Miami ran a play very quickly to prevent review). And really, any win over the Dolphins is a good win. Even one that was fairly ugly.
