Patriots media day
OK, the madness has officially begun here in Glendale/Phoenix.
Here's some sights and sounds from a cool New England Patriots session during media day at University of Phoenix Stadium:
Miss Nevada was here, proudly wearing her sash. Not sure why, but she was very popular with the younger members of the media.
As soon as the media was allowed onto the field, crowds descended on the podiums with Tom Brady and Randy Moss. If you weren't there first, you weren't going to get there to ask any questions. Good thing the NFL provides transcripts.
The roof at the stadium opens pretty quickly.
Ines Gomezmont, a "television reporter'' – please note the sarcasm – for TV Azteca in Mexico City, wore a white wedding dress – a rather skimpy white wedding dress at that – and planned to ask Tom Brady to marry her.
"Today,'' she said. "I want to get married today.''
And if he said no? "Then I'll ask (Giants QB Eli) Manning.''
Good plan? Well, she apparently didn't even know who Tom Brady was. She ended up asking Kyle Brady.
Asante Samuel was asked by a member of The Tonight Show if he had a touchdown dance. When he answered no, she got up and did one for him. Be sure to check that out tonight.
Kid's Nation was present. Rylee Domann of Scholastic Kids was walking around asking questions. At least they were intelligent ones.
Brady took it all in stride.
"There's nothing about this that isn't fun,'' he said, adding that this is what makes Super Bowl week so special and why most of the players videotape the day.
Kevin Faulk had another thought. When asked what he thought of the scene, he simply replied, "It's America.''
