Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch steal the show at Super Bowl Media Day
Give credit to the NFL for its ability to make a must-see event out of even the most ordinary of activities.
Case in point: Super Bowl Media Day.
That’s the opportunity for reporters to talk with coaches and players from both Super Bowl teams, and it has become a big deal/circus.
Here are some highlights from Tuesday’s festivities, starting with some, um, fashion statements:
