A Saints fan from Mandeville will be meeting with the head of NFL officiating, Al Riveron, this week in Atlanta before the Super Bowl, WWL-TV reports.

John Horn is one of 32 NFL season ticket owners selected by their respective teams to go to the Super Bowl and meet with NFL executives. 

He told the TV station he has a lot he wants to say to Riveron after the officiating crew of the NFC Championship Game missed two obvious penalties when Los Angeles Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman clobbered Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis while the pass attempt from Drew Brees was still in the air.

Horn says he's hopeful the league will listen to what he has to say.
