In a Super Bowl like no other, we will indeed miss the hidden gems of Media Day

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.
