Breaking Down Media Day

Everyone is focused on breaking down the matchup on the field between New England and Seattle, but one of the most intriguing portions of the build to the Super Bowl is the annual media day.

Sports journalists from all over the world are given unprecedented access to the players involved in the championship game, but media day also gives a platform to other so-called “journalists” who have a tendency of making a fool of themselves.

Whether it was a reporter asking Tom Brady for his hand in marriage or one of the dozens of journalists in costumes, it’s clear that the atmosphere of media day has gone from a serious event to another chance to laugh and have fun.

Darren Rovell of ESPN talked about how well tickets sold for media day:

While there will undoubtedly be a major focus on the faux reporters and the ridiculous questions they ask, there will also be a healthy dosage of serious questions. Not only will the media ask about Deflategate, but they will also reference the troubled past between Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

When asked about a previous run-in with Brady after a 2012 matchup, Sherman told Marc Sessler of NFL.com:

"

Like I said before, I think people sometimes get a skewed view of Tom Brady. That he's just a clean-cut, does everything right, and never says a bad word to anyone. And we know him to be otherwise. So, in that moment of him being himself, he said some things and we returned the favor. And unfortunately he apparently didn't remember what he said, etc., etc., but I'm sure in those moments of him yelling at the ref he's just saying, 'Good job, you're doing a fantastic job, keep it up.'

"

The questions at Super Bowl media day can be brutally honest, and several players will be put on the spot to answer tough inquiries. The big advantage for the NFL is that many of the players from New England and Seattle have been here before and understand how to act.

It will be interesting to see how Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch handles media day after his recent run-ins with the NFL regarding his strenuous relationship with reporters. As seen last season, he wasn’t happy to be talking to the media.

With unpredictability being the name of the game, football fans must tune in to NFL Network Tuesday to see the media day madness unfold. You can’t afford to miss this.

Predicted Final Score: New England 27, Seattle 24
