Media day was crazy

Well, it has been four days since I have seen snow… you probably hate me for saying that. I actually enjoy the snow. Really. Anyway, covering the pre-Super Bowl events has been a lot fun. Media Day at the University of Phoenix Stadium was crazy. Media members from around the world descended on the players, asking all kinds of crazy things. One lady, TV Azteca’s Ines Gomez-Mont, (see picture) who dressed in a wedding gown, asked Tom Brady to marry her. His response: “I have a few Miss Bradys in my life.”

Anyway, please ask lots of questions. Anything would be fine. Gear questions. Super Bowl coverage questions. Fire away.

    What kind of equipment did you bring with you to use? Is there a particular photograph you hope to make while you are at the Super Bowl?

    What kind of access do you have to the players?

    Hi Monty, thanks for the comment. The access to the players for the first half of the week is good. What I mean by good is that there are schedule times that you can talk with and photograph players and coaches. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday's before the Super Bowl there are press conferences with both teams in the morning.

    The bigger named players, like Tom Brady, are up on a stage and you have to wait your turn to ask a question. The lesser known players are at tables where you can sit down with them. The press conferences last for about an hour. For the rest of the week you have no access to the players, until after the Super Bowl.
