You've got some time.
If you've got kids at home, you're certainly not getting any quiet at home.
You get to the away hotel.
You plop your stuff down in your room.
You lay on the bed before meetings and you say, oh.
But when I got to Houston, the first Super Bowl I ever played in, I remember trying to do that and hearing helicopters outside, people outside converged around the hotel.
You can't go down to the lobby without people getting on you.
You got Radio Row.
You got Media Day.
You got the owner having a party Friday night, like trying to watch film.
And somebody from the team's like, come on, you got to go to this party.
I'm like, are we trying to win the game or not?
Yeah.
You know, there's a lot of distractions.
The halftime is longer.
The whole thing.
You walk out, because I used to walk out and do that little lap just to kind of, like, see the field.
And I remember doing that before the Super Bowl and thinking, like, oh, my God, it is a zoo out here, dude.
Like, it's like the world's media.
It's got that big game atmosphere and not like a regular season or a playoff big game, like an international game kind of feel.
