Super Bowl storylines take back seat to insanity

Northwest Herald sports editor Jon Styf and columnist Tom Musick discuss Super Bowl week.

Styf: Deer-antler spray, gay slurs, brotherly love and tattoos. Even Artie Lange became part of the storyline. The Super Bowl isn’t about the game, unless you’re in San Francisco or Baltimore. But this has been a ridiculous buildup, am I wrong?

Musick: I must have missed the Artie Lange storyline. He’s my favorite D-list celebrity not named Gilbert Gottfried. You are correct that the Super Bowl buildup is ridiculous. For most of the partiers in New Orleans, the actual game is a side note. If you were on Bourbon Street right now, which random celebrity would you most hope to see?
