3:39	[Comment From Earl] Teddy, Any signs that the economic situation is having an effect down there?

3:42

Kevin Spain, T-P - it's my first Super Bowl, so I don't have a whole lot to compare it to. But from what others have been saying, it seems like the economy is having an effect in some areas. Specifically, I've heard some rumblings about cancelled parties and fewer media members making the trip, both probably true. The NFL has said that the economy would not have an effect on the game itself and a lot of the NFL activites around it, and they seem to be right about that. Overall, it's still a big football celebration.

3:42	Kevin Spain, T-P - Oops, that was Teddy

3:42	Teddy, T-P - Sorry, that was me

3:42	[Comment From Pigskin Pete] Who was the most interesting person at media day?

3:44

Teddy, T-P - Well, it depends what you mean by interesting. Just from walking around in the mosh pit of people, I saw a man dressed very much like a woman, one of the Tonight Show's correspondents, and what looked to be a dancer from Dancing With the Stars. There were also a bunch of NFL stars walking around asking questions, guys like Antonio Pierce. There was no woman in a wedding dress (like last year), but we still had our fun.

3:44	[Comment From TP reader] Loved your story on the Saints punter. What other Saints/New Orleans connections are down there this weekend?
