I think that, for some dumb reason, sports media people feel obliged to act cynically about the coverage of the NFL. (Maybe it's because the gig is so good, that they're embarrassed to admit that "it beats working for a living.")
All you hear from the mainstream media is how Media Day is such a burden on the players because the same questions get asked over and over along with an assortment of other weird questions.
All I know is - as a fan who does not live in the AZ media market - it was Christmas, Birthdays and the Last Day of School all wrapped up in one glorious package.
Highlights of NFL Networks' Media Day coverage:
- Deon's (Hey! Mr. B) interview of Bill Bidwill.
- DRC doing a standing back flip and then hurdling over the top of a 6-foot upright teammate.
- Antrel's interview.
- Alan Branch "dancing with the stars."
- Deon and Q (What was that deal along the sidelines...?)
- The broad array of players and coaches interviewed - ranging from KW, Edge, Q, Fitz, B-Train, A-Dub, DRC, Morey, Graham, Matt, Wiz, Todd H, Russ G etc.
We got to meet members of the Cardinal family up close and all at once.
It was the best.
(Only thing that can top it would be a Super Bowl win and victory rally).
