Superbowl XL

Saturday Feb 4, 2006. Ford Field, Detroit MI
GMA asked me to come to Detroit for a segment showing off Superbowl technology for the home. Here's a link to my column that details all the products.
I didn't see much of Detroit, but I had a really cool morning cruising around Ford Field. It was amazing to see the facility all decked out for Sunday. We created our set on the sidelines just off the 30 yard line.

Steve Young was supposed to do the segment with us, but Security wouldn't let him in. The guy was a Superbowl MVP and had press passes up the wazoo, but he was detained and didn't make our segment. We did end up hanging out after the segment taped. MarySol Castro, GMA's weather person, told him that the two of us are ex-rugby players and he didn't believe it. We had to start listing our injuries before he realized we weren't pulling his leg. MarySol is seven months pregnant, so when she offered to show off her tackling technique as proof, we were all a little concerned. Steve Young was in Detroit for ESPN and also to promote a charity he supports- the Sharpie Autographs for Education campaign.
