Rain or Shine or Sleet or Snow or Holy Hell ... It's Super Bowl Media Day!

As I write this it's sleeting, raining, snowing and -- what the what? -- lightning-ing in Collin County. With any luck I'll be out at Super Bowl XLV Media Day later this morning. It's Media Day, of course, that's giving us such dramatic moments in the past such as Leon Lett...
