Hi Everyone, Today was a day full of excitement. After the teams had their media day on Tuesday, I had my own personal day with Jerome "The Bus" Bettis. There were countless interviews, with a day I expected to be filled with games and the NFL experience. Every couple minutes there were new interviews with different reporters from various stations. It got overwhelming, but the best part was playing games with Jerome Bettis. He won some of the passing games, but I am the one who seemed to dominate the running games...(because he didn't even play the running games hahaha). Next, he took me to sit on the NBC platform; he taught me how to be a good sportscaster by giving me tips such as posture and looking at the camera and person whom I am speaking with. During this great experience wtih Jerome, he even let me wear his SUPERBOWL RING! His fingers had to be at least two times the size of mine, if not three. Then I went to a big press conference with the Commissioner, Roger Goodell, and several NFL players such as Warrick Dunn and Derrick Brooks. The only thing I said to the kids in the audience was "Here We Go Steelers!". While I was on the stage, another former Buccaneers player let me wear his Super Bowl ring.
Following the press conference, I was interviewed by Luke, a junior reporter for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Earn Your Stripes. Then, my family and I were escorted to Raymond James Stadium for my photo shoot with Kellogg's. It was my first photo shoot and it was very entertaining. Next, we went back to the hotel and shot hoops, swam, and raced my big sister at dog paddling haha. Finally, I would like to say thank you to my community and everyone else who is leaving me comments.
Well, I gotta go back to my room! Til tomorrow...
Sam
