Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, will handle the pregame coin toss at the Super Bowl, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday.
The former first couple recently were released from Houston Methodist Hospital, where the nation's 41st president received treatment for pneumonia for more than two weeks. Barbara Bush was suffering from bronchitis.
The former president is 92. His wife is 91.
He often attends games of the Houston Texans, whose stadium hosts Sunday's championship game between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons.
