The Super Bowl Media Day is easily one of the greatest days of the NFL calendar. Press from all around the world are embarking on New York City to interview players just days before the big game. There is plenty of hype surrounding the matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. Airing live from the Prudential Center, the Broncos will be first to the podiums.
The 2014 Super Bowl has plenty of storylines heading into Sunday. The biggest of them all is the battle between old-school Peyton Manning and new-school Russell Wilson. Already a Super Bowl winner, Manning is looking to get one more ring on his finger before he calls it a career and awaits his phone call into the Hall of Fame. The Broncos veteran is certainly used to the media attention, something Wilson is just getting familiar with.
Much will be made of the different styles of play each quarterback goes with. Manning is the more traditional of the two, opting to pass from the pocket and have planned plays. Wilson on the other hand enjoys a little creativity while running out of the pocket and displaying read-option talents.
Richard Sherman will of course be the focal point of many. The Broncos wide receivers have all said they are not concerned with battling the Seattle Seahawks cornerback. Sherman made headlines for his post-game rant following the NFC championship game. He called out Michael Crabtree as a terrible wide receiver, but has yet to make any comments regarding receivers of the Denver Broncos.
Players can expect a wide variety of questions during media days. Many will opt to focus on the upcoming weather report. An outdoor Super Bowl has certainly met its fair share of criticism considering weather in February in New York is not always kind. Six days out and the forecast calls for a "wintery mix" at night with temperatures in the 20s.
Super Bowl Media Days can make the smallest player into the biggest star. Everyone will get their moment in front of the cameras.
