I don't care what anybody says. If they tell you they don't like Super Bowl Media Day they are lying. You can access every single player on the team and the media world is your oyster for socializing with sports biz giants while gawking at attractive 'info-babes.'



You see just about every football writer-broadcaster-webcaster-radiohead you can think of plus former coaches, players and you realize that this is the current epicenter of the football universe.



Some of the folks we've seen on Radio Row include Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, Mercury Morris, Jim Mora, Joey Porter, Channing Crowder, Nate Newton plus all the radio hosts and other guests we've had on. There are simply too many to mention.



Jim Rome fans would be interested to know that he just sits down with a laptop and a couple of guys around him and lets it rip for three hours. It's fun to watch the master work. It's strange to hear Josh Innes sign off and hear Rome come on at 11 from the table right next to ours.



Drew Brees and Reggie Bush got the most attention during Saints media day to no one's surprise. But I really enjoyed talking with Billy Miller who is sidelined and plans on coming back next year. It's been tough to watch his teammates get to the Super Bowl but he keeps things in perspective. He knows he's always been a long shot coming into the league as a 7th rounder, getting cut, eventually joining the Texans as a street free agent and scoring the first TD in club history.



Chase Daniel knows he won't play in this game but hey, you never know. I talked with Chase about his whirlwind year as he was unimpressive in last year's East-West Shrine game (live on Sports Radio 610), signed and cut by Washington and picked up by the Saints. He would much rather be starting but he'll take being here in Miami with the NFC Champs as a nice consolation prize.
