TO: Terry Bradshaw, Fox Sports. FROM: Just a loser guy who will never have the chance to sing with a Beatle. The Super Bowl seems like a dream to me now. Did the Patriots' Adam Vinatieri really kick a 48-yard field goal to beat the unbeatable Rams? Why did I wake up yesterday morning craving a Pepsi? (I hate Pepsi.) And did I really hear you, Terry Bradshaw, sing the opening verse of "A Hard Day's Night" with Sir Paul McCartney? I wasn't dreaming. I saw you touch McCartney's knighted shoulder.

So much for being a team player. On its pre-game show Sunday, Fox presented a "behind-the-scenes" look at the Panthers and Falcons during the week as they prepared to play each other. Hanging with the coaches, watching practice, feeling the iron pump. Jay Glazer on the inside, being called "Glaze" by players. Great stuff, right? Terry Bradshaw, what do you think? "I didn't get a whole lot out of that," Bradshaw said as soon as Fox came back to the studio. Hey, but what about those guys showing off their intensity in the weight room?

TO: Paul Tagliabue FROM: Hyde and Lye Public Relations, LLP RE: Draft apology Good evening. I'm Paul Tagliabue, NFL commissioner. On behalf of the entire NFL family, I'd like to offer our most sincere apologies for last week's Monday Night Football broadcast wherein B-list actress Nicolette Sheridan of Desperate Housewives appeared in a towel, disrobed and jumped into the arms of wide receiver Terrell Owens. We were shocked - deeply shocked - to discover sex and tasteless humor incorporated into an NFL broadcast.

PITTSBURGH -- Bubby Brister has seen the film of Sunday' Eagles-Cowboys game. He watched Dallas quarterback Troy Aikman get splattered across the screen 11 times.It is a gruesome sight, especially if you happen to be the quarterback preparing to face the Eagles next. It is enough to make some men turn all pale and jittery, but not Bubby Brister.This is one quarterback who doesn't get intimidated. Today at Veterans Stadium, Brister will be there with the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers, sleeves rolled up, ready to rumble.

Pittsburgh has waited 26 years for a ring for its thumb. I was not born when they last won the Super Bowl. I grew up a Steelers fan, and while most people in Baltimore cringe when I admit that, I can't help but grin. Although I have lived in Maryland the majority of my life, I spent my summers and every major holiday in Pittsburgh with my grandparents. Many ask me why I never relinquished my devotion to the Steelers. The answer is simple. The Colts escaped in the middle of the night in 1984.
