Super Bowl Media Day: New name, same collection of oddball sights
Credit the NFL. The league realized that it hasn’t put every single possible event it has in prime time.
That’s why the Super Bowl media day was moved from its usual Monday afternoon slot to night ahead of the game between the Panthers and Broncos.
OK, I'm old-school. NFL going over the top on announcing players for Opening Night media availability. Too much

Turn on @nflnetwork right now & weep for our future as a nation. @NFL has taken a ludicrous joke - Media Day - & somehow made it worse.

Media day is now called Super Bowl Opening Night, but it’s still just as weird as ever.https://t.co/1e2VOlPi0phttps://t.co/iu9hFd1NUa
