I’m so glad Media Day is over. Wednesday was a good day. Thursday is going to be even better and Friday will be welcomed into the Wolfley Compound with bells, whistles and a reading from Jerry Kramer’s, Instant Replay.

Now the real work begins. Although both teams practiced over the off-weak, Wednesday is typically the heavy-lifting day in the NFL. Many teams concentrate on their base offense on hump-day, putting in their run-down offense and defense.

Traditionally, run-down situations include 1 & 10, 2 & 1-6, and 3 & 1. These down-and-distances occur most in a football game and the personnel groups and plays that will be run from different formations form the baseline of every game-plan.

Wednesday was work day.

Tuesday was joke day. A woman proposed to Tom Brady and Eli Manning, guys dressed up like clowns, grown-men and hand-puppets mingled with the throng, and stupid questions escaped parted lips with alarming regularity.

But this is what Media Day has become during Super Bowl week. It’s more about the media than it is about the game or the players. And that’s okay. Most jokes make us laugh and what’s wrong with that?

Nothing; but I’m glad the business at hand is drawing nigh. The drama of the most brutally beautiful game has captured the imagination of the world because of what will happen on Sunday, not Tuesday.

It’s time to get serious.
