Super Bowl Media Day will become 'Super Bowl Opening Night'

At long last, the NFL has altered a longstanding tradition to properly recognize the true heroes of professional football:

The media.

Ahahaha! Kidding! For those of you who aren't already rushing to the comments below, here's the deal: the NFL is moving its Super Bowl Media Day, home of "wacky" costumed "media" and "outrageous" questions, from its traditional Tuesday slot to Monday night.

At "Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled By Gatorade," the teams will gather at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. to speak for an hour apiece starting at 5:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time. And by "speak," we mean "stand in front of hordes (see picture) and answer a. routine questions about how excited they are to be here or b. pointless morning-zoo attempts at gotcha humor. Fans will pay "less than $30" to get in, and will get a gift bag that includes a radio to listen in to all the festivities.

Excited? Don't answer yet, because you could either see Marshawn Lynch not talk:

Or you could see Rob Gronkowski try to sing:

Boy, we will watch ANYTHING even remotely connected to football, won't we?
