CFL Grey Cup ref makes rookie mistake at coin toss [Video]

The Canadian Football League’s Grey Cup got off to a strange start right at the coin toss on Sunday night.

Head referee Ben Major welcomed the captains of the Toronto Argonauts and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to midfield. He showed the players which side was heads and which side was tails and handed it to Coinbase Canada CEO Lucas Matheson to flip it.

As the coin was in the air, Major remembered he forgot one of the most important things about the toss. He forgot to ask the Argonauts what their call was.

“Check, check,” Major said while trying to stop Matheson’s toss. “I have to ask, what do you want? Alright, Toronto. Toronto, you’re visiting team. What’s your choice?”

Argonauts wide receiver DaVaris Daniels then made the call of heads and everything went smoothly from there.
