There will be no true “Media Day” at the Super Bowl this week.
Even in the best of times, throngs of reporters surrounding football coaches and players is a cauldron of potential infectious disease spread. There's more room in the womb than in the crush in front of Tom Brady. And that’s before some “reporter” dressed in a superhero costume tries to bait a player into a viral moment or late-night talk-show bit.
The NFL’s primary goal for this Super Bowl is to keep Patrick Mahomes, et al, virus free. Media Day will be a few Zooms.
