Media Day in Dallas with Wex

It's been crazy here with the weather conditions. It's no joke. Driving is a scary adventure. Walking outside isn't much better. It's cold, but that's no problem. It's wind - again no problem. However with the streets and sidewalks covered in sheets of ice - that is a big issue. I'm sure you've seen it all over the news and below - check out the videos from MT & CP driving through the conditions on Tuesday.
-----------------------------
Now to the other stuff. It seems like most of the guests we've had and other players & media we've talked to don't think there is much separating these two teams. That should come as no surprise with a Vegas line that's dipped to -2.5 for the Packers.

We had a great time with Packers great Dave Robinson, who was on the Packers Super Bowl winning teams in Super Bowl I and II. He stopped by our table on Radio Row on Tuesday - hit our Super Bowl XLV page for that interview if you missed it.

MJ and I caught the tail end of Packers media day, then hit the Steelers session. A lot of the Steelers that weren't at podiums were milling around like they were media with cameras and having a good time with the media circus going on around them. I

talked to several Steelers, including Emmanuel Sanders, the SMU Mustang returning to Dallas for the Super Bowl. He seemed ticked that the Steelers would be practicing at TCU and genuinely bristled at the thought of even being around their colors. IMO, the Steelers have an exceptionally explosive and underrated WR group. Obviously that includes Hines Ward, who actually is fits neither previous description. But Sanders, Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown can all stretch the field and turn any short catch into a big gainer.

Here's a couple of videos from Media Day starting with Steeler DE Brett Keisel talking about his beard being put to use on this website.



Here's MJ and I making our way out of Cowboys Stadium through the snow towards our bus.


We'll be joined by Christian Okoye tomorrow at 7:30 and should be joined by a Packer or two also.

We'll talk tomorrow from 6-10 and don't forget to crank up our live webcast running throughout the week LIVE from our spot on Radio Row.

Now to the real serious business, you never answered my question regarding the better looking fake fans of the Super Bowl teams. I may doubt the authenticity of these pics - but so what!! Enjoy.

Let's hear it for the PACKERS !!



Now on your feet for the STEELERS !!
