Theatre of the Absurd

The stars of Super Bowl Media Day are usually somebody other than the players.

This year's 15 minutes of fame belongs to Inez Gomez Mont of TV Azteca. She came to the darn thing in a low-cut wedding dress... and red high heels that didn't match. She obviously stole them from Kellie Pickler. Yeah, Pickler was there for the Tonight Show. So this Inez lady interrupts Tom Brady's segment and asks him to marry her. I like Tom's response, understanding the comedic portion of the moment... "I'm a one-woman man." Oh, by the way, his ankle feels fine.

No word on what Eli Manning's response was to Inez after being shunned by Brady... SportsCenter never showed it.

The other great response of the day was by Michael Strahan. Asked whether he or David Letterman have the biggest space between their two front teeth, he chuckled, "Spongebob."

Good job by SportsCenter's Sal Paolantonio, trying to find the inner Bill Belichick. I'm curious to see how Kenny Mayne's segment with Giants backup QB Jared Lorenzen ("The Hefty Lefty") turns out.

Read Larry O'Rourke Jr.'s blog in the Allentown Morning Call for his take on Media Day.

Buckle Up,
