ESPN's Programming for Super Bowl Sunday

Here are ESPN’s plans for Sunday. Lots of people spread all over the place.

ESPN Super Bowl Sunday Programming Notes

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on ESPN Radio at 7:40 a.m.; Country Music Star

Faith Hill on SportsCenter at 9:45 a.m.; NFL Analyst Steve Young to Appear on ABC’s

Good Morning America; and Rapper Snoop Dogg on Sunday NFL Countdown

Programming highlights for Super Bowl Sunday involving ESPN shows and commentators (all times ET):

  • NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (via phone at 7:40 a.m.) will be interviewed by Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic on a special edition of Mike & Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio (simulcast on ESPN);
  • ESPN NFL analyst and Super Bowl XXIX MVP Steve Young will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America Weekend (airs in most markets at 8 a.m.). Young was interviewed Saturday by correspondent Marysol Castro for an NFL story about logos and mascots;
  • ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com columnist Rick Reilly will appear on NBC’s Weekend Today (9:30 a.m.), where he will discuss his experience playing fantasy football with President Barack Obama this fall on the campaign trail;
  • Country music star Faith Hill, who will perform America the Beautiful at Super Bowl XLIII, will appear live from Raymond James Stadium on SportsCenter (9:45 a.m.) where she will be interviewed by host Bob Ley;
  • ESPN’s four-hour Sunday NFL Countdown at 10 a.m. will include interviews with three special guests — Arizona Senator John McCain (from Washington, DC, at 12:40 p.m.), former Steelers running back Rocky Bleier (1 p.m.), and rapper/record producer/actor Snoop Dogg (1:20 p.m.).

Rick Reilly played fantasy football with then-Senator Obama? What’s up with that? That’s not right.

I don’t expect anything else from the networks today, but if I do get something, you can expect that it will get posted here.
