Sports – Wednesday, January 29th, 2014

Tuesday was Media Day at Super Bowl
XLVIII in New Jersey
and it went off pretty calm with no major stories breaking with 1000s of
reporters from across the country peppering players with football and
non-football related questions.  Now its
all about football for the Broncos and Seahawks.  Sunday’s game kicks off at 5:30pm.  You’ll hear it on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ.

 

The Packers added a big fullback to
their roster.  Ina Liaina is 5.11 and
weighs 250 pounds.  He’s a true blocking
fullback, who spent time with Miami last
offseason after playing college football at San Jose State.

on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ.
