Super Bowl XLI: Bears vs. Colts, Sun 2/4, 5:30 pm CT

[Chris]

Rex Grossman said he's excited about being there and it became very real to him when he got to the stadium and saw the Bears and Colts painted in the endzones.

 

"Rex! Rex! Joe from the Boston Globe. Why do you suck?"

 

"Jim here from the Tampa Herald. Can you elaborate a little more about how you suck?"

 

"Joe, San Francisco Chronical. Rex, can you tell us when and how much you will suck this Sunday?"

 

"Frank - Dallas Morning News. Rex, you talked about going out to dinner with your wife last night. How has your sucking effected her?"

 

I must've missed that part.

 

Apparently two people that got ripped this year on American Idol are there covering Media Day. :lol:

 

Warren Sapp is there as a correspondent as well. Here's a gem from Warren: "The great Reggie White once told me that I would rather have not shown up for the Super Bowl than to show up and lose"

Joe Theisman said that too.

Devin Hester isn't concerned about the fact that the media has put more attention on Manning-Grossman than the importance of starting field position in the SB.

 

Let's hope he gets a lot of kick off returns on Sunday! :D

 

I'm hoping for more punt returns than kick off returns.

[Chris]

The commentators keep talking about how there wasn't a goofy attitude or anyone wearing Superman shirts.

 

A couple of other tidbits:

 

Briggs was asked if he or any of the guys on the team had met girls on myspace.

 

Grossman was asked what they put on his lip for the "Got Milk?" ad.

[Chris]

Urlacher: We have to stay grounded. The game starts at 6:30 and there's a lot of time to spend after getting here.

[Chris]

Urlacher also reiterated that the Bears have got to put pressure on Manning.

[Chocolate Milk]

Thanks for the updates.

[CuseCubFan69]

Urlacher also reiterated that the Bears have got to put pressure on Manning.

 

You can not have Manning sitting back there and looking at 3 options. I'm sure Lovie is thinking of a way to disrupt this and I can't wait to see what it is.

[Chris]

Thanks for the updates.

 

Very welcome.

 

They showed a clip of the session with Lovie and it was great. He had a lot of reflections on his family and his college coaching days.

 

Colts take their podiums in 8 minutes

[CuseCubFan69]

I like that Texas/Texas A&M commercial.

Mora "PlAYoFFs, RU KiddING Me!?!?!?!" says that the matchup between Urlacher will not be what everyone expects. He thinks it will be more of a psychological matchup due to the fact that Urlacher is going to have to watch Dallas Clark to keep the safeties from getting split.

I love being off on Media Day. :D

 

My mom, who is a pretty avid Bears fan, has to work on Sunday (as do a few of her fellow Bear-fan co-workers [lot of NU grads at her office]). That sucks.

Ouch.

 

I'm taping Media Day with the Colts. I'll try to post some quotes in between taking care of little ma'am.

 

For the record, my 7 month old daughter is wearing a "Got Peyton?" outfit with a Colts logo on the back. ha ha

[Chris]

Colts are yet to take the field.

 

Manning will be at Podium 4.

[Chris]

The NFL Network is pointing out that Marvin Harrison doesn't enjoy talking to the media. They think it will be interesting since he has to answer questions for one hour.

 

If the media had a problem with the Colts getting there last night they will love this announcement:

 

Media Day with the Colts has been delayed until 11:15 CT. ha ha

[UMFan83]

I love that the Bears seem like probably the most boring Super Bowl media day team in history. They seem all business.

[Chris]

The media is not happy.

 

"We couldn't get the Bears to leave the field and we can't get the Colts out here."

 

"Part of management is filling your obligations to the media"

 

 

The Colts have arrived

[Chris]

Most all of the players have a video camera.

[USSoccer]

The media is not happy.

The Colts have arrived

 

Hahahaha.

 

Stupid media.

[Chris]

Manning refused to speak to the media last night. This will be his first time answering questions in SB week.

 

Peyton is all smiles.

Hahahaha.

 

Stupid media.

 

ha ha, I thought it was great.

 

 

Manning is at the podium

[USSoccer]

What are the odds Manning will get asked a question about going against a bunhc of Florida Gators?

[Chris]

Peyton pulled for the Saints all year long.

 

Peyton doesn't understand the fuss over arriving Monday. He said that it was announced immediately following the game against NE that they would leave on Monday for Miami.

[Chris]

What are the odds Manning will get asked a question about going against a bunhc of Florida Gators?

 

I think it will happen but probably later in the session. I wonder how long the NFL Network will keep the camera on Manning before going to another podium.

[Chris]

ha ha, oops. Apparently Peyton just got asked about the Gators. I could've sworn that a guy asked if it was the ultimate revenge game since the Bears have players from Florida.

 

Manning just mumbled "nah" and looked for another question. HA HA
