Blogger and NEWSWEEK Contributor Robert Cox continues to file from the Super Bowl:
I have to admit I was dragging after the Paris Hilton party
last night. I got home after midnight and then stayed up for another
hour and a half uploading and labeling photos for my Super Bowl flickr photo account and
writing a blog post. I did not get down to the Media Center today
until 2 PM but happily everything was squared away and I got my
official Super Bowl media credential. Unfortunately, it is a “day pass”
and so I have to go back each morning to get another one. Hmmmm. What
the heck am I complaining about? I have media credential for the Super
Bowl--heck they even offered me a seat in the press box (I declined
because I already have a ticket and it would hardly seem fair to take a
seat from a reporter when all I want to do come game time is cheer on
the Giants).
Credential hanging around my neck, I breezed past security (I love that
feeling!) and went down to the lower level of the Phoenix Convention
Center to check out "Radio Row". Along the way I found the media
lounge, which was pretty nice--free snacks and drinks, a billiard
table, foosball table and Xbox (playing Madden of course). I helped
myself to a couple of bottles of Aquafina and moved on. Radio Row was,
for want a better word, nuts--less a row and more a sprawl of tables with microphones and A/V equipment, all emanating from a central hub which was the NFL Network Total Access set.
