Leavy is forever linked to the story of the Seahawks’ first Super Bowl appearance.
. “I didn’t know we were going to have to play the guys in the striped shirts as well.”
The NFL stood by the officiating in the game but never fined Holmgren for those remarks, believe it or not. Leavy wouldn’t officiate another Seahawks game until 2009, and he actually reffed the Seahawks-Steelers game in Pittsburgh in 2011. In 2010, Leavy went to the Seahawks’ preseason training camp in Renton as part of the NFL’s annual rules interpretation session, and he“It was a tough thing for me. I kicked two calls in the fourth quarter and I impacted the game, and as an official you never want to do that. It left me with a lot of sleepless nights, and I think about it constantly.
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck shared a story of how he befriended Leavy in 2009 and how their conversations impacted him personally. Well said Gene, he and I became friends in 2009 after some heartfelt conversations that meant a lot to me. He forever changed the way I feel about the game and officiating, all in a positive way. I have a lot of respect for Bill. He was a good man. Rest in peace.
