Media Day at the Super Bowl is reserved for pretty much anyone who has the time to register for credentials.
The NFL grants the world access to its players for one day of free-for-all craziness. It’s probably the most dangerous day of the week for these players. We media people can be some strange ducks.
In the past two seasons, Media Day has been relatively blah. That could be the Belichick Factor, or worse, that the media lunacy is slowly cooling down. This is unacceptable
Call me old school, but I like one pre-ordained day of moronics. It sort of justifies stupidity, and in this crazy world, what’s wrong with a few hours of escapism that doesn’t require a movie ticket stub or end up in a potential legal quandary? There’s only so many regular football stories humans can handle in a seven-day span.
So, I came up with my list of inane questions I’d ask if I were in Detroit. We start with the Steelers, since the NFL gave them the first 90-minute shift at Ford Field today.
To Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger:
You’re 26-4 as a starter. Do you think your Wu-Tang sword can defeat me?
To Steelers coach Bill Cowher:
Your quarterback has plenty of food endorsements. Do you think if you finally win a Super Bowl, you’ll get a call from the candy people at Jawbreakers?
To Steelers running back Jerome Bettis
3-1-third or Leaders of the Free World?
To Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward:
How do you think Plaxico Burress is feeling today?
To Steelers safety Troy Polamalu:
If this football thing doesn’t work out, would you consider teaming up Lofa Tatupu and going after the WWE tag team belts in sort of a revival of the Wild Samoans, even though he’s Hawaiian?
To Steelers linebacker Joey Porter
I have no specific question for you. I’m just hoping you’ll say something outrageous on your own accor
And for more silliness, it’s on to the Seahawks, who landed the afternoon session.
To Seahawks safety Michael Boulware:
Which makes you lose more sleep: the thought of tackling Jerome Bettis, or the thought of having to be in Detroit for a week?
To Seahawks fullback Mack Strong:
Is there a more manly name in the NFL than Mack Strong? Seriously, how much less talented would you be if your name wasn’t Mack Strong?
To Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck:
OK, sure, your sister-in-law is attractive, but tell the truth: how many times do you make fun of your brother, Tim, for marrying a lady from “The View”?
To Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu:
If this football thing doesn’t work out, would you consider teaming up Troy Polamalu and going after the WWE tag team belts in sort of a revival of the Wild Samoans, even though you’re Hawaiian?
To Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander:
When coach Mike Holmgren sends in a play and you guys don’t like it, do you make fun of his mustache in the huddle?
To Seahawks receiver Peter Warrick:
You’re still in the NFL?
