So today was Super Bowl media day, where most starters had to sit on a podium for an hour and be available to answer any and all questions from the media -- ranging from the serious (allegations of illegal behavior) to the inane (who's the best locker room dancer?). Niners DE Ray McDonald summed it up best saying, "It’s like Mardi Gras with cameras instead of liquor".
Here are some things I learned (or was reminded of):
Randy Moss (49ers WR) has a big mouth - He actually said, "I really do think that I am the greatest receiver to ever play this game". To which Jerry Rice responded, "You have to look at the stats, you have to look at how you impacted the game, and it’s all about winning this right here, this is it, the Super Bowl, and I was fortunate to win three" (Rice = 3 SB rings, Moss = zero). I do like that Moss' confidence is super high going into this game, but just look at the numbers and he's not even close to Rice.
Terrell Suggs (Ravens DE) might have ADD - from belting Meatloaf's I Will Do Anything for Love (I wish there was a youtube clip up of this!) to talking about his film in the Cannes Film Festival (he's a legit writer/producer/actor, yo! Just check out his imdb page) to saying he wants to go to Hogwarts or the lost city of Atlantis, Suggs is def a character.
Joe Flacco's (Ravens QB) dad thinks he's dull - la;skdj fpueadfghljkkdkalfasdjkl...I just dozed off thinking about writing about him. He's boring. End of story.
Older Har-bro John (Ravens Head Coach) is weird (according to Raven's safety Bernard Pollard) :P The older Har-bro is actually pretty charming and eloquent and I do agree that he is the "teddy bear" of the two brothers. (Don't get me wrong though, I do <3 the fiery charisma of the younger Har-bro)
Alex Smith (49ers back-up QB) is a class act, through-and-through - he was bombarded with questions even though he didn't get a podium and still took the high road. I still feel bad for him...it sucks it took the team so long to actually click before his ability was recognized. I watched this video on him today and have even more respect for him (just a warning, the video is 20+min long, but is really well done and has some great Niners highlights).
Silliest question from media day - "On a scale of 1 to 10, how ticklish are you?" Flacco answered "5" (snore) and Anquan Boldin (Ravens WR) said he's "not ticklish at all"...he also looked like he wanted to eat the reporter who just asked him the question.
SIDENOTE: Today marks the 18th anniversary of the 49ers last Super Bowl victory. Niners won over the Chargers 49-26 in Super Bowl XXIX. Woot woot!
