Welcome to Indianapolis

Super Bowl Football AP

PFT has landed at the Super Bowl.

I’m the first crew member to arrive in Indianapolis, with Florio and MDS on the way soon. We’ll be pumping out posts on all the sights and sounds from Naptown all the way through the game.  The Patriots arrive Sunday and the Giants on Monday.

(There will also be more Florio than you know what to do with on PFT Live and three hours of NBCSportsTalk each day.)

I’m fired up the game is here in Indianapolis. Most of my media brethren feels the same way because the city is fun and incredibly compact. (I can see Lucas Oil Stadium outside my window and the media center/radio row is under the same roof as our hotel.)

Basically, we have no excuse to not find something interesting to write about. Or make up. The Patriots/Giants matchup couldn’t be much better.

Getting here is my yearly reminder that I’m incredibly lucky to have this job. I’ll try not to screw up any more than usual because I really want to make it to New Orleans.

Plus those diapers don’t pay for themselves. (The diapers are for my daughter, not myself.)

    Head up to Broad Ripple before the boss gets there – he’s a bit too old for that section of town anyway.

    We won’t judge you; we aren’t that kind of crowd. Be honest and we’ll be accepting.

    Pats arrive Sunday but Giants Monday? Hmmm.

    Welcome to Indy, Gregg. You will have a great time. Are you going to Zip Line? May want to save one of those diapers for yourself … just in case.

    How long before Indy is criticized unmercifully by the left\right coast media?

    3….2….1….

    These “journalists” are treated like royalty yet will destroy a city’s image in a heartbeat if their steak is overdone or had to wait 5 minutes for a cab.

    Just wait…it’s coming.

    Sincerely,

    Jacksonville, Detroit, and all the other cities that have had to deal with these pretentious SOBs.

    “Naptown” Did you make that up? Either way, very apt.

    And bye bye Peyton.

    …good to have diapers handy nonetheless.

    C’mon Indy! Get over yourselves, that stadium looks like a big glass barn, anyways.

    Flyover state is meant to be flown over.

    Indiana is a horrible place

    For both teams, this next game constitutes a “must-win” game.

    What’s the over under on Gregg’s posts about the Giants? Dude is such a freakin homer it’s sick.

    Isn’t that the state that’s shaped like a foot? Indiana: The Foot State.
