Turn on your Internet to NFL.com if you want to see a circus unfolding.
Super Bowl Media Day is currently going on, with the AFC going first and the NFC following behind. The Patriots are an interesting bunch.
You've got Tom Brady for the Patriots, who seems easy to talk to and is willing to take a question from any journalist. He loves talking with the media, or does a very good job acting like he does.
One Patriot who could care less about speaking with the media is Head Coach Bill Belichick. Like he usually does, he swept answers to questions under the rug, and gave out more vanilla-esque answers than a fugitive who has been caught. The only way he'll truly open up is if he opens up the scoreboard on the New York Giants.
The most interesting interview of the morning session was between Chad Ochocinco and Deion Sanders. As of post time, I could not find a video to post (check back in the afternoon), but what the conversation revolved around was the lack of production Ochocinco was bringing to the team.
Ocho only has 15 receptions on the season for 273 yards and a lone touchdown. That's it. He hasn't done anything, and according to him, the ride has been worth it. Figured he would say that.
What else is he supposed to say? "I've had a terrible season, and none of this has been worth it." Maybe he's grown up a little, or been listening to Media Relations more intently this season.
The quote of the morning session comes from New England Offensive Coordinator Bill O'Brien: "Belichick is just the cook in the kitchen, we're just the dishwashers."
Check back for reaction of the afternoon session.
