Put 'em up! Marisa Miller and Jamie Dukes have some fun on the NFL Total Access set.

Frantic Friday on radio row

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Lights, camera and lots of action. Reporter Derrin Horton conducted interviews with some of the game's biggest names as the action continued on radio row at the Phoenix Convention Center on Friday.

This time around, Kellen Winslow Jr. broke down the Browns' turnaround season.

The Kurt Warner Machine expressed his high hopes for his Cardinals.

Mercury Morris continued to make his rounds.

Plus, there was a Marisa Miller sighting. And that's very important.

The only thing missing were the magical cheesecake desserts

At the Super Bowl

By Mike Bires, Times Sports Staff

February 2, 2008

WHAT IT COSTS

For most fans, attending a Super Bowl is a once-in-a-life time thrill. Therefore, many of them want to have some kind of keepsake to remind them of the experience.

That’s why a souvenir stand in downtown Phoenix was doing a brisk business Friday.

Two clerks hustled back and forth wait on customers willing to shell up some big bucks for merchandise with a Super Bowl XLII logo on it.

Here’s a sample of some items on sale and their costs:

Super Bowl coats $106-425

Super Bowl commemorative footballs $40-50

Super Bowl golf shirts $70-118

Super Bowl hats $34-38

Super Bowl mini-helmets $37

Super Bowl T-shirts $29

A sleeve of three Super Bowl golf balls $15

Who’s here

Heads turned when a gorgeous strawberry blonde walked into Radio Row at the Super Bowl XLII media center.

The lady creating the mesmerizing buzz Friday afternoon was Marisa Miller, the 29-year supermodel who’s been featured in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit editions and Victoria’s Secret lingerie catalogues.

She’s in town to promote the upcoming SI swimsuit issue that comes out Feb. 12. Before attending a party Friday night, she spent a few hours taking with radio talk show hosts and the NFL Total Access television show. She even had a few moments for me.

“This is my fourth time coming to a Super Bowl, and I love it. It’s so incredible,” said Miller, who, on this day, was dressed in a light beige sweater, white blouse, gray jeans and black boots. “It’s one of the perks of being part of the Sports Illustrated team.”

A native of southern California, Miller takes great pride in being one of the most athletic women in the modeling business. She played volleyball in high school. She surfs. Her two favorite sports are football and boxing. If she wasn’t a model, she said, she’d be a sportscaster.

But with looks like hers, it’s no wonder she’s one of her profession’s most photographed women.

“Of course, I’m going to the game Sunday,” Miller said. “I love New York, so I’m kind of rooting for the Giants. But I think the Patriots are going to win.”

Anyone getting tired of Super Bowl related Marisa articles? Because I'm not! :nicole:

This one's pretty funny:

Meeting Marisa Miller

One of the many unwritten rules of being a member of the sports media is you're not supposed to ask for pictures or autographs. For nearly my entire career, through college and then covering the NFL, I have adhered to that policy pretty well. Until now.

Strike me down, oh media gods, for I made an exception on Friday and got my photo taken with Marissa Miller of Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated fame. It was a risk in life that you just have to take. You know, for your own well-being and so you can brag to your friends back home.

Marissa (I feel comfortable on a first-name basis having chatted with her for a few moments) was making the rounds on radio row here at the Super Bowl media center, promoting the launch of the new SI swimsuit issue, due out in mid-February. I forgot the exact date, as I was slightly distracted.

Believe me when I say in a business heavily slanted with the male variety, there were a lot of guts sucked in and eyes permanently fixed on her when she walked by. After she visited with the NFL Network, Yahoo and Sirius radio, I snuck in to get my photograph and have a quick conversation. In person, she is as nice as she is striking, and I can attest to the fact they probably don't need any airbrushing for her layouts.

I was surprised words even came out of my mouth as she approached, but I'm glad they did. And if they repeal my credentials as a result, I think I can live with my boss' scorn.

In case you're wondering, she's picking the Patriots, by the way, and not just because of Tom Brady.

I do love the Super Bowl so.

Saturday Scorecard: Super Bowl is bloated, bizarre

By Drew Olson

Feb. 2, 2008

PHOENIX - Welcome to the Super Bowl edition of Saturday Scorecard, which begins with a declaration:

Hunter S. Thompson was right -- the Super Bowl is a freaky scene.

In a span of 24 hours on what is known as "Radio Row" - the part of the Phoenix Convention Center where dozens of sports radio stations set up to broadcast to markets nationwide - I spent time with or in close proximity to the following "60 Minutes" essayist Andy Rooney, former Packers Dorsey Levens and John Jurkovic, a pair of Kellen Winslows (Sr. and Jr.), E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren, Heartbreakers musicians Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench and Ron Blair, shady party promoters, NFL Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Marisa Miller and Jared from the Subway commercials.

Oh, and a legendary NFL quarterback saw my underwear. More on that momentarily.

The Super Bowl is the most over-hyped event on the sports calendar and "Radio Row" is the scene of the crime. During the week leading up to the game, battalion of current and former NFL star players and coaches, along with broadcasters, actors, comedians and musicians, descend on the convention center flanked by an army of handlers/PR flaks who shuttle them from radio station to radio station while simultaneously looking anxious, agitated and generally overwhelmed.

They walk the maze of tables in packs, followed by nervous-looking radio producers anxious to hook guests for their show. It's kind of like the atmosphere in your average gentleman's club (minus the thumping music, stage and pole, of course), because when you watch them circle each other it's impossible to distinguish the hunter from the prey.

Although the conversations and activities that take place are largely frivolous (like much of sports talk radio), you wouldn't know it from the security. Put it this way: if our borders were protected like the perimeter of the Super Bowl media center, immigration would not be an issue in the upcoming election cycle.

Nobody can walk in or around the area without a credential bearing a photo. Every backpack, computer bag, equipment trunk and suitcase is inspected before it can enter the building.

That brings us to the underwear...

Due travel / lodging issues, this correspondent had to bring his suitcase to Radio Row on consecutive days. Early on Friday morning, before the sun came up over Downtown Phoenix, a pleasant security guard was inspecting my luggage when Joe Montana strolled into the building for a number of appearances.

Joe was traveling light. With officials from the league and whatever company brought him to town waiting for him at the door, he breezed right past the inspection of my somewhat neatly packed shirts, pants, shaving kit and boxer shorts.

"Is he somebody famous?" Clara the security guard asked.

"Kind of." I said.

Some other observations from Radio Row:

Subway man: Fogle, the definition of the everyman in a national ad campaign, made the rounds while touting healthy snacking on Super Bowl Sunday.

"About 80 percent of people overeat during the game," he said. "Instead of killing your diet with chicken wing and pizzas, take a step back and try to have some healthy options."

Asked to name his favorite Subway sandwich, Fogle said: "I like the tuna, but my ultimate favorite is the sweet onion teriyaki."

Fogle, who favors the Giants to score a stunning upset. "Strahan will be the difference-maker," he said.

Heartbreaker halftime: During a Thursday press conference for the halftime show (yes, they have a press conference about the halftime show), Tom Petty was asked a series of strange and sometimes ridiculous questions about cover bands,

The worst of the lot came from a female entertainment reporter from a Phoenix TV station: "Tom, I just want to tell you you're smokin' hot. Are you going to any of the parties while you're here and, if so, can I go with you and show you around?"

Petty's reply: "You'll have to ask my wife about that."

A day later, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell, Ron Blair and Benmont Tench were strolling through Radio Row. I mentioned to Tench that the Summerfest date had been announced and that many Milwaukeeans considered the Heartbreakers to be the house band of the Marcus Ampitheater.

"Somebody has to do it," Tench said. "It might as well be us. We like it."

Penalty for excessive good looks: Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Marissa Miller's trip through the convention center left many men slackjawed.

"She's like... unbelievable," one producer said.

Gridiron Greats: Several retired players are continuing their battle to increase the pension payments for retired players, many of who are struggling with skyrocketing health care costs. The effort continues at gridirongreats.org, a site that features seeks donations and funds through a memorabilia auction.

"What's happening is a crime," said Joe DeLamielleure, a Hall of Fame offensive guard who played for Buffalo. DeLamielleure said his monthly pension check is $1,247.63 "before Uncle Sam."

"You can't live on that when gas is $3 a gallon," he said.
