Omaha attorney Clete Blakeman is getting a lot of attention after officiating Super Bowl 50. It wasn't his calls on the field that garnered most of the social media love but his physical looks. 
 
He told KMTV via text Monday night that he is heading to New York to appear on the Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda. When asked about all the new found attention, he said, "I find it entertaining. We are having a lot of fun with it though. Enjoying the moment."
 
Blakeman became an NFL referee in 2008. He's a former Husker quarterback.
