Wrapping Up Day Three In South Florida For Super Bowl XLIV
SB Nation's Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride is on the ground in South Florida, providing reports, commentary and impressions from Super Bowl week.
Wednesday at Super Bowl XLIV was relatively light compared to the previous two days.
The day started off with about an hour and a half with the Saints players. This session was a little different than the zoo called Media Day. With the exception of a few, all the players were hanging out at a bunch of tables lined across the room.
They were all very approachable and willing to talk. Some of the lesser names were hanging out in the back.
Then I ran into this guy talking to the Saints defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams.
Yeah…next topic.
After the Saints media session was finished, I moved onto an event in South Beach featuring the NFL and Telemundo. It was a flag football game that had quite the number of stars in attendance.
Coaching one team was Tony Gonzalez of the Falcons and on the other side was Greg Camarillo of the hometown Dolphins.
Players included Marcus Allen, Doug Flutie, Warrick Dunn, Tim Brown, Martin Gramatica and Warren Moon.
There were some good moments in this event as well:
- Someone yelled to Dunn, “What do you think of Jimbo?” and he shook his head. They were referring to the new FSU coach. The fans were yelling “Bobby Bowden forever!”
- Warren Moon said at the coin toss, “We want the ball, we’re gonna score!” (Seattle and Green Bay fans know what that means).
- Miami Dolphins cheerleaders…
- One of the rules of the game was that one female must be on the field at all times.
- Someone yelled at Gramatica, “Can you throw? Who you going to kick it to?”
- Marcus Allen was showing the women how to block on the offensive line.
And that was a wrap on day three at Super Bowl XLIV.
