Today is Super Bowl media day, which is mostly an opportunity for a few fringe members of the media to ask stupid questions or propose marriage. Tough call for Tom Brady: A wedding-dress wearing stalker or Giselle? CNNSI.com features the all-time dumbest Super Bowl questions.
Appearing on ESPN's Outside the Lines, six-time Super Bowl participant Don Beebe offered some great insights.
On Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren preparing team for the off-the-field distractions:
"Coach Holmgren said, 'I have two players who want to address to the football team. The first is Don Beebe and he will tell you what to do during Super Bowl Week. And the next is Jim McMahon. He's going to tell you want not to do.'"
On the high cost of taking care of friends and family:
"Me and my wife sat down and figured out how much we invested on the six Super Bowls and it was over $300,000 in tickets, meals, hotel rooms and all that stuff. Tickets aren't cheap. The most I ever got was 48 tickets for Super Bowl XXVIII."
