Media Angry They Have One Less Day to Hype Manning

The Pro Football Writers Association has filed a complaint with the NFL, saying the Colts' decision to arrive in Miami on Monday night means writers won't have enough time to interview players and coaches and get their stories for the Tuesday papers filed on time.

The group's president, David Elfin of the Washington Times, said, "There's no excuse to arrive so late with two weeks between games and that they're basically blowing off a day of media coverage at the Super Bowl for anyone east of the Mississippi or perhaps east of the Rockies.''

Here's my suggestion to all the writers who won't get to interview Peyton Manning until Tuesday: Find something else to write about. The Super Bowl hype gets utterly ridiculous because all the writers ask all the athletes all the same questions. You should be glad you'll have one less day to contribute to that.
