The Super Bowl media activities are a staple of the week leading up to the big game. It seems like it tries to live up to the spectacle of the actual event itself, even if the questions are typically just filler to get everybody to game time. Players are required to deal with the media, but at least there’s some goofy stuff to make the entire thing a little more fun. Take Jimmy Kimmel’s contribution to media night: his top notch security pal Guillermo.
Kimmel’s sidekick talks to the big names from the Falcons and Patriots, asking them to sign his soccer ball and doing his best to find out how Tom Brady smells. He even gets Bill Belichick to crack a smile twice and doesn’t get swallowed whole for asking him for an autograph.
Some other highlights include Guillermo interviewing Falcon’s center Alex Mack with a giant turkey leg. He says chicken leg, but turkey is the usual giant bird treat you can find at certain places. Shame on Mac for not taking a bite, though. It’s also a nice when Guillermo finally gets to yell at Tom Brady. He seems like a pretty good sport and agrees to sign the soccer ball, but he ends up refusing to let Guillermo sniff him. If you’re not strong enough to let another man sniff you in front of the entire media, how are you strong enough to lead a team to victory in your seventh Super Bowl appearance.
Forget the Madden simulation, the Patriots are doomed.
