Fang’s Bites Podcast No. 5: Super Bowl Edition, Part II — Local Coverage

Yesterday in Part 1 of this week’s Fang’s Bites podcast, I gave you the national perspective from those at Fox Sports who will be covering Super Bowl XLVIII. Today, I give you the local angle from Denver and New York.

The guests today are Robin Carlin of Mile High Sports and Neil Best of Newsday.

Robin speaks out the following:

  • Covering the Broncos all season and how the Super Bowl has been a whirlwind for her in the first two days of the week.
  • What Media Day on Tuesday was like.
  • How the Broncos have taken over the Rocky Mountain region.
  • How Peyton Manning-mania compared to Tebowmania.

Neil discussed:

  • Having a Super Bowl in New York and New Jersey for the first time.
  • How covering this Super Bowl compares to those he covered in other cities when he was following the New York Giants.
  • Getting a police escort from Media Day in New Jersey to the NFL Media headquarters in New York and seeing his tweet get picked up by Keith Olbermann.
  • How Fox will cover this Super Bowl and how it differs from other locations.
  • How NYC’s ratings might see an uptick with the Super Bowl at home.
