Packers enjoy Super Bowl Media Day experience

ARLINGTON, Texas - It’s been called a circus. Super Bowl Media Day gives reporters off all sorts 60 minutes of access to each Super Bowl team; and it can turn into something of a circus.

“We're not just football players, we're entertainers, too, so I want to bring out my personality,” said Packers safety Atari Bigby.

Some of the media in attendance asked standard, football-related questions. Others went in a slightly different direction, dressing up in costumes and asking strange questions.

“I got some chocolates from Hawaii,” said Green Bay quarterback Matt Flynn. “That's kind of nice.”

With the crush of media, the usual suspects like Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy were surrounded by cameras and microphones. On media day, however, even the guys who usually enjoy some anonymity find themselves answering question after question.

“It doesn't bother me,” said Packers long snapper Brett Goode. “I like talking on the radio; I don't do a lot of camera work, but its fine.”

The Cowboys Stadium big-screens displayed countdowns, 60 minute sessions for each Super Bowl team. It’s a crazy hour, for sure, but some Green Bay stars say it actually may help them come Super Bowl Sunday.

“[You] get into the playoffs, all of a sudden its do or die situation,” said Packers cornerback Charles Woodson. “All of that energy and that intensity just drives you, then you get here and you see all the cameras, and it just makes it a lot of fun and it's a great experience, I know guys are enjoying it today.”

Most players seemed to enjoy the experience, and took a little bit of time to savor the fact they’d made it this far.

“Its awesome man, it's a lot of hard work getting here,” said Green Bay defensive end Ryan Pickett. “That's what I think about when I look at the team, it's a blessing to be here, but it took a lot of hard work.”
